Chocolate cupcake with cream cheese

The sem break will finish soon, what a sad new... =.=

For me, this is the last sem break, will be graduate soon... I can't really express my feeling clearly, like a bit nervous to step out from university and start my new journey in a new environment. Never mind, just don't want to think about it first, I should enjoy my study life in university for the next four month.

Frankly, I do not really rest for the whole sem break. I just work some part time, and start the lab for my final year project. Today, I had make myself to stay at home (still at serdang house, I miss my hometown, TT) the whole day, make myself in rest mode. Still have some time for baking session. Long time don't touch the oven. lol. 

The cream cheese is really nice, really beh tahan... lol

The cakes look attractive isn't it, but I just dare to eat one, too fat for me...lol

Keep the rest in the refrigerator for tomorrow...haha

I should add more cream cheese next time...

Banana Muffin

I had came back my lovely hometown yesterday and I received a bad new that make me regret to go home. The Streamyx server in my house was totally "DOWN". I really can't live without internet, I tried to call TMNet for so many times and they always give the same respond all the time. Actually, they had explained the problem to me politely but always end the conversation with the same sentence, "We will contact you when the server is recover", which is not the answer I desired... =.= Luckily, they manage to recover the server this afternoon, if not I think I will keep calling TMnet and keep pressurize them... Argghhhh...><

Everytime I go back hometown, I sure will make some cakes or biscuit for my family, I had made them the banana muffins this time which is a new try for me. Not bad, the banana muffins taste good, everyone satisfy of it. lol

Added some chocolate chip on it, not a good idea... lol

too sweet for me... ><

short update + chocolate muffin

Wao, seem that I had been away for a long time...
I had start my part time straight away after my final, gonna fight for the money...Then, I also lazy to update my blog...lol...The part time was just over, now the turn of final year project. =.=

Just a short update about my recent life. I had just started my final year project experiment today, really gonna thanks Elaine, the postgraduate who had guide me along the experiment today. She is really a patient and helpful senior who had taught me so much knowledge regarding my final year project. By the way, I really hope that I can finish off my lab by end of December so that I will have more time for other stuff next semester.

2 minutes Chocolate muffin

This is a simple recipe while it just take me around half an hour to complete the whole process. For me, this might be a nice dessert to serve with a hot drink, hot chocolate perhaps. haha. However, Mr LCY claim that it is not sweet enough, so if you are sweet tooth, just do add more sugar. lol

I like the cup so much, it is so cute...

Ingredients:

* I assume 1 cup = 200ml

- 1/2 cup self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 2 level tablespoons cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup fresh milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 

Method:

- Place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl according to the above order.

- Beat the mixture well for 2 minutes.

- Pour the mixture into the prepare cup/pan.

- Bake in preheated 160 C oven around 10-15 minutes.

Gonna update more tomorrow... Good night everybody... ^^

Mung bean soup: my favourite

No doubt, the weather nowadays is really HOT!!!
Mung bean soup: the best choice dessert throughout the Summer (365 days summer in M'sia lo =.=).
Last time when I was so free, I will always cook the mung bean& barley Tong Shui for the detoxification effect...
I usually cook that without putting any sugar, I think nobody will like it except meeeeee!!!! lol

However, I am so so so busy this few weeks...><
Who cares about the detoxification effect, I rather to have more time for my plant design project... =.='''

Finally, I feel so sick this few days...
My migraine attacked me again... No more pain killer, I want to avoid that if possible...haizzz
So it would be good to return to my old lifestyle; just like a 40 year-old lonely old lady lifestyle... =.=
Haiz... ><

Back to my mung bean soup today, :p
I cooked this specially for Mr LCY... as his supper i think...
Highly recommend to use palm sugar instead of the white sugar for this mung bean soup... Trust me... ^^
Someone claimed that palm sugar + coconut milk = heavenly, but coconut milk just not my cup of tea... lol
You can try to add the coconut milk if you like...@@

Dont you think the crystal clear sago is so beautiful...

I love sago all the time... lol

Time to say Good Night...
Will be away until this Thursday and I will be totally free... Hurray...

Tofu with mushroom and dried scrimp

Today Cake: Chiffon cake

**second failure** I can feel disappointment... ><

I had made some small chiffons with the extra cake mixture, 

Honestly, this is much more nicer than the previous chocolate cupcakes... Maybe this is due to the effects of milk and vegetable oil... I like this...^^

All with the Weird Weird look...

I really have no idea why they look like that...lol

It look like an old alien with all many fine lines...lol

Should I apply some anti-aging product for her... @@

Here It is, the fail Chiffon... TT

Actually it raised very well at the beginning, this is all my fault...TT

I think I should not simply reduce the oven temperature when I saw the chiffon was almost done... =.=

This is called pandai pandai sendiri... ><

Suddently the chiffon SUNK... @@

The texture of middle part of the chiffon just like not raising...haizzzzzzzzzz....

It still taste nice, but it really look bad...

My first chiffon : I give myself 40%, just the taste ok only... TT

** I NEED IMPROVEMENT ** 

Luckily I still have some alien cupcakes...

 =.='''

The night is still young... 

Gambateh!!!

**Mini Pizza** fake pizza...lol

It's Sunday again... That's mean Monday is coming soon... haizz...

Mr lcy requested for a pizza, so I gonna make it... =.=

Make him a fake 1 1st la...lol...

I really like the puff pastry, just make a little changes to the recipe, my 'pizza' is ready...

 Here we are...^^

Both of them also for Mr lcy.

 I on diet now, should avoid such high calorie food... TT

**Zoom In**

Just use the ready made 'Kawan' puff pastry and add on any topping that you prefer, bake for 18-25 mins at 200C...

For the topping, I had add some cheesy hot dogs, crab stick, mixed beans, onion&tomato(stir fried with butter before that), cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and chilli sauce...

Have Fun!!!

Sunday almost past d... Sad... 

Vege Day

Today Special:  Vege Vege  ^^

I am totally a LAZY person. 

If nobody having dinner with me, I swear I wont open the gas stove to cook... **Cook with Gas stove so hot lo =.='''

The best dinner for me is SALAD...Today is my 'vege' day, no meat at all...hehe...

If you are the one who loves to have meat instead of vege, this dinner may looked disgusting to you...haha

Note: I dont eat salad with mayonnaise(super fat)...

Ta Da...Vege Dinner today...

**Oil free**

Coral+tomato+kiwi mixed with some salt and lemon juice

If you do not like the lemon juice as the salad base, you can replace it with yoghurt(of course my suggestion is original flavour).

**No Mayo Please** It's not healthy at all

**Lemon**

A good VitaminC source

VitC can help to boost our immune system and also an antioxidant that protect our arteries from the damaging effect from free radical. That is why most people claim that VitC can whiten the skin. But for sure, we have to consume it for a long period to see the result.

**Kiwi**My favourite

Busting with Vitamin C as well

Good source Vitamin E, copper, magnesium, and etc.

Kiwi also rich in dietary fibre, it's good for our digestive system.

Eating Vege also has its unexpected advantages??? what's that???

A research showed that the greenhouse gases emitted by a person who consume meat will be much more higher that the one who consume only vegetable. The analysis shows that changes toward a more plant-based diet could help substantially in mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases.

Perhaps you wont believe the statement, but it really do...lol

So, Eating Green for our planet from now...^^

My First Experience in Seoul Korea Restaurant

October is the important month for me...
I call it the Anniversary month...
Our relationship was started on 6/10/2006, now already the 4th year...
When I just be together with him, I never thought we will last for so long...lol

For this year anniversary, we plan to have the korea cuisine, so I tried to google out and searching for it...
At last, we decide to go Seoul Korea Restaurant. It was nearer to us and the review from the blogger and also my friend is good....^^

Since the restaurant will be crowded at dinner hour, so we step out earlier around 530pm.hehe.
Luckily when we reach there, it still got place for us, no need to wait...^^

We order a Sam-Gyoub-Sal (the pork belly) and a rice cake( forget the name)...^^

Sam-Gyoub-Sal RM22

**recommended**

Charcoal, simply take the photo...haha

Here they grill the pork belly for us, what we have to do is just wait everything done...

Side dishes just too much for us...lol...around 16 side dishes...

the complement steam egg, this is nice...

Rice cake, Rm20

I will recommend this if you are going with 4-5 friends...

It's nice,but too many for just two of us...

Eat this with the lettuce...Nice Nice Nice...

The complement ginger tea, 

light ginger flavour and not so sweet...^^

The complement dessert: watermelon...
