The "ikan bilis" shown above is added later after I fried the "hae bee hiam" with cooking oil till fragrant. Now ready to use it to fry with any vegetables. For example, long beans, brinjal, cabbage, lady fingers, wing beans, sweet potato leaves and so on..<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQTWLOGGPvgmVvPPTH-AR2yPgVeCy3_oWy_jH6KNOP9IjzrwOCVjx3XYM3i3pBZ_zmivwYdAy_DgAXctUt03LHhynG-AYqUv9pw9svPgwq3iOFFSHqhHM1s5GHfHq8IIrQSo5WvLAG3Y/s1600-h/sweet_potato_leaves+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317366506439555890" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQTWLOGGPvgmVvPPTH-AR2yPgVeCy3_oWy_jH6KNOP9IjzrwOCVjx3XYM3i3pBZ_zmivwYdAy_DgAXctUt03LHhynG-AYqUv9pw9svPgwq3iOFFSHqhHM1s5GHfHq8IIrQSo5WvLAG3Y/s400/sweet_potato_leaves+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />All time favourite dish.

First thing came to my mind was a Cookie shared by <a href="http://feedmyworld-sri.blogspot.com/2008/10/butter-crunch-cookies.html">Sri</a> (Thanks for sharing, Sri!), the recipe looks easy. As I bake quite often, I have most of the ingredients, just need to buy one more ingredient, that is "Pecan" nuts.</div><br /><div>So this morning I headed to NTUC supermarket, I was very disappointed to find that "Pecan" was missing on the selves. Sigh! No choice! Try another supermarket near my place, that is "Shop n Save", couldn't find "Pecan" nuts, and saw plenty of "Almond" nuts, chopped, sliced, powdered, whole and washed. No choice lor! Decided to replace the "Pecan" with "Almond" nuts.</div><br /><div>"Nice! It's so crunchy and taste good." My daughter commented.</div><div>This recipe is a keeper. I shall post it here for easy reference.</div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff9900;"><a href="http://feedmyworld-sri.blogspot.com/2008/10/butter-crunch-cookies.html">Butter Crunch Cookie</a></span></strong></div><div><em>Recipe taken from Tastes of Home magazine.</em></div><div><em>Yields : 4 dozen</em></div><br /><div><em>Recipe shared by <a href="http://feedmyworld-sri.blogspot.com/2008/10/butter-crunch-cookies.html">Sri</a></em></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">Ingredients:</span></em></strong><br /><strong>1 cup butter</strong> (2 sticks = 250g), softened</div><div><strong>1 cup sugar</strong></div><div><strong>1 1/2 cups all purpose flour</strong></div><div><strong>1 teaspoon cream of tartar</strong></div><div><strong>1 teaspoon baking soda</strong></div><div><strong>1/4 teaspoon salt</strong></div><div><strong>2 cups cornflakes,</strong> lightly crushed</div><div><strong>1/2 cup chopped pecans</strong><em> (I replaced it with chopped almonds)</em></div><br /><div><strong><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">Method:</span></em></strong><br />In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. </div><div>Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt;

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.<br />2. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and mixed spice together in a bowl.<br />3. Whisk eggs and sugar till thick and creamy.<br />4. Fold in the oil lightly. Don't worry if the oil doesn't bind into the mixture at this stage - because it won't. Therefore, you don't need to stir the mixture too long.<br />5. Fold in the carrot and the walnuts. Again, don't worry if the carrot and walnuts don't get mixed evenly; the mixture still won't bind well until you...<br />6. Add in the dry ingredients. In this case, add in a few spoonfuls at a time, until the batter is more or less even.<br />7. Spoon the batter into the paper cups about 2/3 full.<br />8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or till skewer inserted comes out clean.<br />9. Let the cupcakes cool on the wire rack.</div>jthorgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06117734827503560925noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723046544850466427.post-32976684235561244222008-10-03T11:16:00.003+08:002008-10-03T11:33:21.045+08:00French Toast<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitymaS6iWORecnO1XugfwLl1b_RIbKRLb14dugXAMawhn7f8UNLalOJpFMPL79P5S7GbL5RgGc6q-eaOy5eJo16F8XnCCmBNmSrYdpM4O_wjy5602116hrK0P31b4RirabRvIbfij3Mss/s1600-h/french_toast1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252761367670106962" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitymaS6iWORecnO1XugfwLl1b_RIbKRLb14dugXAMawhn7f8UNLalOJpFMPL79P5S7GbL5RgGc6q-eaOy5eJo16F8XnCCmBNmSrYdpM4O_wjy5602116hrK0P31b4RirabRvIbfij3Mss/s400/french_toast1.jpg" border="0" /></a> I had this French Toast for breakfast yesterday.

For this issue, there are two Brownies Recipes by CYNTHIA LOW, she suggests making snacks like Brownies. Oh, I always like sweet cakes and brownies. Very sinful snack! I've the ingredients for this recipe, so trying this one today and for the other recipe - "Gooey Chocolate and Walnut Brownies", wait till I have next family or friends gathering. The texture of these "brownies" is crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. Quite fragrant, very nutty, not too sweet.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLiQUB5SoiU9zWlyDIdrQbGglcBP71i4bbeptjwPlCK7SY5VmHdZAMYTsrQxYwcRg8t6lzGN0a3w8Gcfr-FbjTafzX3dAw2YW3wy4q6P357PTNhu5vkd5_VCU13bceaffxxHCN-9uJAyQ/s1600-h/Peanut_choco_chips_brownies2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247583505444693330" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLiQUB5SoiU9zWlyDIdrQbGglcBP71i4bbeptjwPlCK7SY5VmHdZAMYTsrQxYwcRg8t6lzGN0a3w8Gcfr-FbjTafzX3dAw2YW3wy4q6P357PTNhu5vkd5_VCU13bceaffxxHCN-9uJAyQ/s400/Peanut_choco_chips_brownies2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL6ZuJVqf20sGIBM-wWkvWljQLOZVlqUvCoBbrEnG8c57TAmelwuSNzjPrzBT8uGxZosM2S3h4gxINFkgmo5VwNjClFMgeTKkIMfkRJCJ9lXXiiSW7g0TYfsoNm8YjYn3jj03rzvIgh-E/s1600-h/Peanut_choco_chips_brownies_ingredients.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247583513123453522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL6ZuJVqf20sGIBM-wWkvWljQLOZVlqUvCoBbrEnG8c57TAmelwuSNzjPrzBT8uGxZosM2S3h4gxINFkgmo5VwNjClFMgeTKkIMfkRJCJ9lXXiiSW7g0TYfsoNm8YjYn3jj03rzvIgh-E/s400/Peanut_choco_chips_brownies_ingredients.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioAEM18EbfLGg0k1EBegYzorvpS0oc0X39E1MJ8BZ-I2THteE59c0LpzKxr5yQfyYZ-sMjSS4i6pnkK2XduwWK-UwsMbDWjisnWdze2H5q5quhuVy_xGLinn1YHNcL00h58KHpzMAFlfo/s1600-h/Peanut_choco_chips_brownies_3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247583516953341698" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioAEM18EbfLGg0k1EBegYzorvpS0oc0X39E1MJ8BZ-I2THteE59c0LpzKxr5yQfyYZ-sMjSS4i6pnkK2XduwWK-UwsMbDWjisnWdze2H5q5quhuVy_xGLinn1YHNcL00h58KHpzMAFlfo/s400/Peanut_choco_chips_brownies_3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM1d747iko6ey2tjqi2WOqbTxNL1rvb_CDIdL59PyHDoG5s-0b2Qc_6LMgrpVjYRg_uBSiQkwxq_1sMKysL_HsnnGyZj75xYdhLc72QYZGwMN3X5tQuqI4oRlN5TVcwVY-VBA2T4mHfzU/s1600-h/19Sept_MYB.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247583514367227522" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM1d747iko6ey2tjqi2WOqbTxNL1rvb_CDIdL59PyHDoG5s-0b2Qc_6LMgrpVjYRg_uBSiQkwxq_1sMKysL_HsnnGyZj75xYdhLc72QYZGwMN3X5tQuqI4oRlN5TVcwVY-VBA2T4mHfzU/s400/19Sept_MYB.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em>Click on the image to enlarge.</em><br /><br /><br />Here's the recipe, makes about 50 brownies.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff9900;">Peanut and Chocolate Chips Brownies</span></strong><br /><em>by CYNTHIA LOW</em><br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">Ingredients:</span></em></strong><br /><strong>130g butter</strong><br /><strong>160g caster sugar</strong><br /><strong>2 eggs</strong><br /><strong>200g plain flour</strong><br /><strong>1 heaped tsp baking powder</strong><br /><strong>150g roasted unsalted peanuts</strong><br /><strong>100g chocolate chips</strong><br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#ff6666;">Method:</span></em></strong><br />Preheat oven to 180 deg C.

Slightly flatten the top of each with a fork.<br />Bake for around 15 to 20 minutes then cool on a wire rack.jthorgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06117734827503560925noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723046544850466427.post-12873438313175760482008-09-12T14:51:00.003+08:002008-09-12T15:04:25.588+08:00Baked Sausage Prata Pastry Rolls<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV_7YySQj17zuprqQ-cUIpYnsSldBGPtKfyQqG0JDTgal0Cvf0S-eBqyA98xiw4NS8n19dJ9_WjuzLvzjDMPJvyhy1p947g84KSBgDwRtq7L8ZbrzDTTpJyhRbVge3ymnu8h8nhoU6unE/s1600-h/chicken_sausage_prata1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245024668264194562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV_7YySQj17zuprqQ-cUIpYnsSldBGPtKfyQqG0JDTgal0Cvf0S-eBqyA98xiw4NS8n19dJ9_WjuzLvzjDMPJvyhy1p947g84KSBgDwRtq7L8ZbrzDTTpJyhRbVge3ymnu8h8nhoU6unE/s400/chicken_sausage_prata1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I bake these mini sausage rolls this morning for breakfast.<br />The flaky pastry, "Chinatown brand Prata pastry" can be found at most supermarkets.<br />I use half a packet, 3 pcs of prata (halves), 6 cocktail chicken sausages, an egg for glazing and some vegetable oil for greasing the baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 deg C, for about 25 minutes or till it turns golden.

When I was a kid (in the 70s), my mom used to bring us (me and siblings) to the shop and chit chat with the owner ~ 锦泰 (Gin Thye), sadly he has passed on years ago.<br /><br />For more than 15 years (not sure the exact figure), I have been buying cakes, 寿桃 (bun made for birthdays), mooncakes, new years goodies from the shop. It brought back many sweet memories. Though the taste is slightly different, we still enjoy eating it.<br /><br />The <strong>Hokkien mooncake</strong> above actually filled with crystallised pork fat (now being replaced by 冬瓜糖 ~ winter melon candy).<br /><br />Last night, we bought a total of $157 mooncakes from the shop. My mom's favourite <strong>Ngo Lin (五仁月饼)</strong> - five seed Cantonese mooncakes filled with assorted seeds and nuts such as melon and sesame seeds, hazel or cashew nuts, almonds and olive kernels. <strong>White lotus paste</strong> Mooncakes, <strong>Cantonese Mooncake with Tau Sar </strong>a pastry filled with a deep maroon, almost black, paste made from mashed red azuki beans. <strong>Pek Kor</strong>, a complementary sweet made only for mid-autumn festival. Made of glutinous rice flour, it's chewy, slightly floury and sweet, melt to your mouth. <strong>客家米糕 Round Hakka Mooncake</strong> -made from glutinous rice flour and sugar pasked tightly into a mould. The floury cake is chewy and quite bland, taste mostly sugar. Also bought two big <strong>Durian Snow Skin Mooncakes</strong>, a box of 4 medium size salted Tau Sar Mooncakes for my Parents-in-law (my mother-in-law can't take sweet food), one Giant and 20 small Tau Sar Mooncakes and some piggy mooncakes. </div></div>jthorgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06117734827503560925noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8723046544850466427.post-90202848642505932612008-08-31T17:54:00.003+08:002008-08-31T17:58:54.710+08:00Very Yummy Brownies<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe7aY9QhS6Ow3AEbaD2jQDVEwK_xmVu733o1NZ1OT9PDGy95L2qhNA7w1JatsMYkjZbtiLAZIg93XqKxpSB43r9vjluXj5DSI4wy01LynWIkJ7wjkMKhweUNr4ik4twd-RNqHwuhcIL74/s1600-h/brownies_brenda_1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240618182112565154" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe7aY9QhS6Ow3AEbaD2jQDVEwK_xmVu733o1NZ1OT9PDGy95L2qhNA7w1JatsMYkjZbtiLAZIg93XqKxpSB43r9vjluXj5DSI4wy01LynWIkJ7wjkMKhweUNr4ik4twd-RNqHwuhcIL74/s400/brownies_brenda_1.jpg" border="0" /></a>Thanks <a href="http://mumlovescooking.blogspot.com/2007/09/brownie.html">Brenda</a> for sharing her favourite brownie recipe with us.
