Mini Nonya Dumpling

Again, Dumpling day is around the corner.  Every one is busy cooking and making of dumplings and outside is selling like hotcake. I have tried making of Plain Alkaine Dumpling but has yet to try making nonya dumplings.  As it need skill to make nice filling and wrapping, i give it a shot and after many try of wrapping, i finally get the right shape. Yahoo.... but I have over boiled it and turn out the rice too soft and wet. :(

Kuih Bahulu

Everyone like kuih bahulu, especially when it was dipped into hot coffee. As this is my first try, the texture is a bit too spongy and hard.  getting the right texture is not that easy, you have to beat the batter till creamy and fluffy and cannot over mix.  I will definetely try out again.

Chocolate Honey Sponge Cake

When My children requested to have chocolate cake for their breakfast, i was quite relented to bake it as chocolate can be quite heaty when eaten too much.  But since they insisted and they agreed to drink plenty of fluid after that, i agreed and bake this non rich honey chocolate cake.  As this Sponge cake need to add whipped cream, i opt out of it and eat it as plain.
