Epok-Epok

I made curry puffs last Saturday. Wasn't much of a success, Husband didn't gobble them up and now I am eating the final one. Haha.

In my opinion though I think it's a decent start. It's my first time making them on my own. The filling was good, but the dough sadly I forgot to add salt and I could have made the dough thinner. I always forget the salt. Or even if I do remember, it's so scant that Husband thinks I didn't put any at all. I'm not a big fan of salt anyway haha.

The curry puff was filled with boiled potatoes, minced meat and quarter of a boiled egg.


Below is the recipe for the filling:

6 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled & diced
5 boiled eggs, cut into fours
400g minced meat (I like lotsa meat in my curry puffs)
1 tsp salt (too little I guess?)
2 medium onions, sliced
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
6-8 tbsp curry powder? I didn't measure
About 15 curry leaves

I had some filling leftover, but I guess if I rolled the dough a bit more thinner I would have finished using the filling. All in all I got 18 curry puffs.


I asked my mum for the dough recipe and to my horror she said there's none. Gasp. Agak-agak only. Oh help. She said just use flour, warm water and warm oil and salt. Add warm water to the flour but not until so soft then add the oil. I'm like, how I know when it's soft?! So all in all I tried and I used about 400g of flour, 1 cup of warm water and few tbsp of oil. And no salt remember? HAHA. I should have rolled the dough thinner so that it'll be more crispy, but this does taste like my mommy's curry puff. Yay! But if you see the hideous picture above haha, I clearly don't know how to pintal the rounded edges I anyhow whack! Haha! I sent the picture to my mum and she said not bad lah for a first time. She suspected that the dough was too soft hence the lack of shape. Oh wells. I can try again next time!

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...
