青豆饼

When i saw the 青豆饼 in 苏联妈妈 blog, i wanted to do it, but as i could not get hold of green pea powder, i have to postpone it till i get hold of the green pea powder. And also that my blender is out of order, so i can't blend the green peas.

At first i went to one of the branch of PH, the staff told me that green bean powder and green pea powder are the same, i walk off, and i went to another branch of PH, the staff told me that they do not sell green pea powder. In the end, i manage to get hold of the green pea powder at SL Trading.

Mine is 15g and make 38 pieces.

A Day at Malaysia

初五（7th Feb) 那天，went in to Malaysia to look for Catherine. As Catherine told me that her place is near to Bukit Indah in which Causeway Link pass by, i took the bus from Jurong East Interchange and go by Tuas Checkpoint.

Bukit Indah Bus Station

While waiting for Catherine to fetch me to her place, i thought i will racky the place and saw this Confectionery shop （most of the shops there are still closed due to Chinese New Year), so went in to have a look. The lady told me that they just 开工 on 初五。

The shop sell different variety of products

After that, we went to have our lunch at this 食客 Korean Family Restaurant.

After our lunch, we went to find Serene.

I took the opportunity to take pictures of Xi Xi

This is my first time meeting Serene baby boy as the other time after Serene gave birth, timing not match, so did not have the chance to meet him.

After that, Catherine, her daughter and i went back to the place where we had our lunch to take pictures of the decorations at the park there.

After taking pictures there, thought that i will go back early as find that the road leading to the Malaysia immigration via 2nd link checkpoint is quite lonely and dark at night.

Thanks to Catherine for the hospitality.

Almond and Banana Cake

Saw a recipe (Macadamia and Banana Cupcakes) at The Sunday Times, Jan 30 2011, was tempted to do it, but i make some changes in it and also i use half of the recipe and make it into a cake instead of cupcake.

Original Recipe :

Macadamia and Banana Cupcakes (The Sunday Time Jan 30, 2011)

Ingredients :

250g banana
165g white sugar
215g unsalted butted, melted (I did not melted the butter)
4 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp baking powder (I use double action baking powder as i have run out of baking powder)
230g self-raising flour (I use cake flour as i do not have self-raising flour)
80g macadamia nuts, ground (I use ground almond as i have it at home)

Method

1. Slice the bananas and use a fork to mash them into a thick paste. Leave some banana chunks to give the cupcakes more bites.

2. Whisk the white sugar and melted butter together for two to three minutes till light and fluffy.

(I whisk the white sugar and butter together as i did not melted the butter - too lazy to melted it)

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue whisking.

4. Whisk in vanilla essence.

5. Sift cinnamon powder, baking powder and flour into the wet mixture. Fold the mixture till it is evening mixed.

6. Add the banana paste and ground macadamia nuts (I add in grounded almond since i use that) ito the mixture. Fold till the ingredients are well-distributed.

7. Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.

8. With a spoon, scoop the mixture into cupcake cups. (I pour the mixture into a baking tin since i'm baking it into a cake)

9. Bake the cupcakes in the oven at 180 deg C for 20 t0 25 minutes, depending on the size of the cupcake. (I bake for 60 minutes)

The other day, at the supermarket, i heard a lady mention that Korea strawberry is not sour (i ever buy strawberry, but it is sour), so bought 1 box, and i have put some strawberry into the cake also.

Thank you Sock Peng for the card

Ghee Balls (Cookies)

When i saw the Ghee Balls (Cookies) in Sonia blog, i was tempted to do it, but the Ghee that i saw is 400g, as i don't bake that often, i didn't buy it till i saw a small can of 150g of Ghee, i quickly bought it and bake it.

Mine is 12g and make 33 pieces.
