Going Bananas

Too many bananas over the weekend!

We had one bunch, and I took home another bunch from a family gathering.

Googled all sorts of banana recipes from pies to cakes to ice cream. Managed to use up 15 bananas which is a lot, and I still have about 6 more. Hurhur.

Saturday morning I made jemput-jemput pisang, then I made chocolate banana spring rolls to be refrigerated and fried later, and in the afternoon I took out my Kenwood for some banana cake.


Moist Banana Cake with Greek Yoghurt
from Baking Bites

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
227g butter, softened (the recipe used half cup butter, half cup oil)
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
1 1/2 cups mashed banana (they said approx 3 large, but I used 8 medium sized ones)

Cream butter with sugar, then add the eggs one at a time. Add in half of the flour, then the greek yoghurt, and then rest of the flour. I used my Kenwood mixer for these! Haha so happy can use the K beater :) Then add in the mashed bananas using a spatula and mix well.

You can bake this in a 12 cup (recipe said 10 cup but I doubt it'll fit) bundt pan but I used two 7 inch pans, baked for about 45 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius.

And like as if I didn't have enough bananas, kerepek pisang order came today! Hahaha

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 ...

Lontong Goreng Tomyam

When Husband's not around, I become more hardworking HAHAHA. I clean more, I cook more. Saturday I made lontong goreng tomyam for breakfast, and yesterday I made my first ever chicken rice. I even have ingredients to make aglio olio, which I think I'll make either tonight or early tomorrow morning for breakfast. The lontong goreng was a pure experiment, no inferences from recipes and all but it turned out good. Not sure if it's something Husband would eat haha! Lontong Goreng Tomyam 1 packet lontong instant Adabi, cut in cubes 4 tbsp tomyam paste 2 eggs, pre-scrambled Handful of mushrooms Chicken breast, sliced Coriander leaves (I didn't have lemongrass or lime leaves) 1/2-1 tsp salt Fry the tomyam paste in some oil, then add the mushrooms and chicken to cook them. Add some water so the paste doesn't dry up. Add in the scrambled eggs then the lontong cubes and fry until mixed well. For yesterday's chicken rice, I adapted slightly from a reci...
