Chocolate Banana Rolls

Sounds yummy doesn't it!! I first saw this recipe at Belzy's Kitchen and I thought what a cool idea! But to my amazement there are many other recipes out there too!

Yesterday night I was on a dessert frenzy. I have been longing to make agar-agar to eat in this hot weather, and I have all the ingredients ready. And I have like seven very ripe bananas that would end up in the rubbish bin unless I cook it. So! I did agar-agar sweetcorn and this chocolate banana roll.

My mum often makes agar-agar sweetcorn, but I've never even bothered to help out or ask how it's done. All I know is there's many little containers in the fridge filled with yummy agar-agar waiting to be eaten. Haha! I use the one my mum always does, the instant mix from Swallow Globe.


No fotos cos it's too simple to make and I didn't use any fancy moulds, just plain ol' Ikea square containers hahaha :)

Agar-Agar Sweetcorn

1 packet instant mix
1.2 litres water
3 tbsp condensed milk
4 tbsp evaporated milk
1/4 cup sugar (it was more of an estimation, about 1/8 to 1/4)
Half a tin of sweetcorn 
  1. Heat water and dissolve the instant mix. 
  2. Add sugar, condensed milk and evaporated milk together and stir. Add in the sweetcorn (with the sugar water as well).
  3. Wait for the mixture to boil, and turn off the fire once mixture boils.
  4. Transfer to containers, let it cool and refrigerate overnight! :)

Chocolate Banana Rolls!

7 very ripe bananas (I had pisang berangan)
Spring roll skin
1 cup chopped chocolate & chocolate chips (I had leftover dark chocolate from NZ courtesy of Shez hurhur, and I mixed with white chocolate chips and dark chocolate couverture)
2 tbsp evaporated milk
1 tbsp butter


  1. Melt butter and chocolate over boiling water. I added the evaporated milk because I didn't want the chocolate to harden too quickly since I wasn't using cooking chocolate. This wasn't in the original recipe.
  2. Cut each banana into two (depending on the size of the banana).
  3. Use 2 layers of spring roll (you can use 1 but the chocolate might leak), spread 1 tbsp melted chocolate on the spring roll before putting a piece of banana, and roll like you would for popiah.
  4. Deep fry till golden brown.

Yummy yum yum sweet mushy bananas with dark chocolate!! Easy to make too! Would definitely make these again! Reminds me of those days in Girl Guides where we would put chocolate cubes in bananas and wrap them in foil and let them cook in the campfire. One of the best camp foods ever.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
