Pengat Pisang

Made pengat pisang today! Was all prepared, with sago no less! And of course, leftover bananas.


My first time attempting this, as usual when my mother does it, I wouldn't pay attention to the method or recipe haha. Anyway when I asked my mum, there wasn't a clear recipe either, all is by estimation.

So here's my version! Makes 1 potful.

Ingredients
4-6 ripe bananas
150ml coconut milk
2 cups water
1 pandan leaf
1 1/2 inches' block of gula melaka
Sugar to taste, if necessary
  1. Heat water with coconut milk until well mixed. Tie the pandan leaf into a knot and put in the pot.
  2. Chop the gula melaka into smaller pieces so that it'll dissolve easily in the mix. Dissolve the gula melaka.
  3. Slice the bananas (not too thin or else they'll break) and put them into the mixture.
  4. Add already boiled and washed sago in! That's it! :)

Chopped gula melaka! Not that easy to chop :s

 

End product! Couldn't be bothered to take a proper photo cos I was more worried that the santan would pecah if the pengat continued to boil. Haha.


And I still have leftover bananas and sago (didn't know how much to boil) so I made another pot! Yumyum! :)

It was my first time with sago, and I didn't know it'll get so starchy! It took more than 10 minutes of boiling before the white sago turned colourless.

Since it was only me having lunch today, I made self-indulgent food - sardine goreng kari! Muahahaha. Ate with rice and leftover sambal godok which surprisingly didn't go bad even after like three days. Annndddd of course, a bowl of pengat pisang! :) Hungry woman satisfied!!

Sardine goreng kari: Mashed canned sardines, scrambled eggs, with curry powder (about 4 tbsp?), and 1 tbsp chilli sauce. Best eaten with bread or piping hot rice!

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...
