Cendol Treat

Happy day everyone!~ :)

I love cendol! Cendol is a traditional dessert originating from South East Asia. Basically, it is a mixture of coconut milk, worm-like jelly made of rice flour and pandan juice, palm sugar (or gula melaka), and shaved ice. Other ingredients such as red bean are sometimes added for extra flavour and texture. You can also add ice cream for additional richness!

Since cendol is a popular dessert in Asia (plus it is also my favourite), I decided to create a one-of-a-kind Cendol Cake!!! :)

It was a great success and I'm so happy with the taste! There are some changes that I would like to make the next time: 1. cook the red beans a little softer; 2.drizzle some palm sugar (gula melaka) over the top just before serving. Mmm...

Enjoy! :)

Lots of Love,
Eileen

Grape Yakult Cheesecake

Hiiii..

This is another of my creation - Grape Yakult Cheesecake.

Yakult is a Japanese pre-biotic milk-like product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of the bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota.

I love drinking Yakult everyday for good digestion and my favourite flavour is grape.

One day while drinking Yakult (grape flavour of course), I'm thinking...Hmm..  wouldn't it be nice if this is added to cheesecake.

This inspired me to create Grape Yakult Cheesecake.

Starting with a biscuit base... I topped with a light mousse made of grape puree, cream, sugar, and yakult.

The result........ TA-DA.......

One word says it all... YUM!!!

I made these mini roses using leftover mousse...

Enjoy!~

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き)

こんにちは! (Konnichiwa - Means Hello! in Japanese.)

I love Okonomiyaki - お好み焼き.

It is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki meaning "grilled" or "cooked".

This is how it looks like....

Okonomiyaki usually consist of chopped cabbage, thinly sliced pork, squid, prawns, green onions, dried bonito flakes etc. You could add whatever your favourite ingredient actually.

For my exam - Bread Category... I thought it would be nice to create a masterpiece of Okonomiyaki Bread!~

The birth of my Okonomiyaki Bread..

Ops, can't really tell what's in it from the picture. Don't have a clearer or closeup of it...

Inside is a generous filling of crabstick, prawn, chikuwa (japanese fishcake), cabbage, carrots, an egg.. topped with cheese, mayo, Japanese sauce, bonito flakes, and dried seaweed.

Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally good! Taste like Okonomiyaki... :p~~

Enjoy!~~
