Food : Menu Minum Petang 08-09

Kuih Karipap.. the pastry I made..according to what I had seen my mum did..long..long time ago.. At that moment, we sitting around her and watching she made the 'karipap' for our 'minum petang' ....she didn't encourage us to help her . Because.. she claimed we will only delay her work...Hence, it's a very big help if we just watching what she did...

From the pictures, well... all of you can see I'm not good to 'klim' the 'karipap'..but, at least I tried..hehe..So, well done to my self.

And.. I made these 'karipap' last week...after not doing it for long...long time.

These are Kuih Ambon..or ' steam sponge cake'. All of you can get the recipe from my previous post..Kuih Ambon. I really loooove making this type of 'cake' ..Why? Of course because it is easy to make and the taste also fantastic..Thus, why not try to make it yourself...too.

Kuih Seri Muka ... The truth I'm not a big fan of any 'kuih' with 'glutinous rice'...Nevertheless, as time passes by, it changed. Especially my second child..really loved anything with this sticky rice..

I made this 'kuih' because of her too..She was fasting on that day..and she asked me whether I knew how to make the 'kuih' which is green on top with the sticky rice at the bottom.. I'm glad I can fulfill her request on that day... And she approved the taste by saying, '' mum, its the same taste likes what I ate at Malaysia..''.

Hmm...yes we can do it if we really want to do... right? only that..it is only a matter of time for making it..

For the recipe..please refer to MYRESEPI

Kuih Lapis...with red and green layers..

Kuih lapis... another 'kuih tradisional' . I made this 'kuih' also because of my daughter. She did mentioned to me one day that she feeled like to eat the kuih with white and red layer..
''Mum, can you cook the 'kuih' which have layer..white and red..for me?''..
'' Did you know how to make the kuih?'' ...sort of questions she asked...

''Why?.. You want to eat the 'kuih'? ,I asked her back and ... she nodded ..and said, ''Yes ,mom..feel like I want to eat them..''.

Hence as usual I'll said, '' I'll try my best to make one for you... ''. .thereupon, yup.. I did tried it..and found out..it's not so difficult to make.. just like I thought it would be..
