Putri Salat

Makcik level unlocked y'all! My first successful kuih Melayu kukus. I call this putri salat but some people call it Kuih Seri Muka too. I googled a few recipes and did a few tweaks (orginal from here) so here's what I used. This makes a perfect balance of pulut and custard cos I don't like when the pulut is more than the custard. Like a rip off. Also, I only had 285g of pulut left. HAHA.

Pulut
200ml santan milk
285g pulut/glutinous rice
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp oil

Soak the glutinous rice with water for about an hour prior to using. Drain the water. I used my IKEA glass bakeware which I don't know the size, probably 8x5 inches? and oiled the whole baking dish. Mix the santan, salt and pulut together and let it soak for a bit. Put pandan knots if available. Steam for 30 minutes. Fluff up the pulut, get the santan all mixed well then flatten the steamed pulut with a greased spatula. Make sure there's no gaps. Steam for another 10 minutes.

Pandan Custard Layer
3 egg yolks + 2 eggs
200ml coconut cream + 50ml coconut milk
7 tbsp flour + 2 tbsp cornstarch
140g sugar
150ml pandan juice

Combine pandan juice (already premade, don't ask me for pandan essence substitute cos I prefer the natural one), coconut milk, flours and sugar. Mix well. Add eggs and whisk. Place pandan mixture on double boiler method and cook till custard starts to thicken like kaya. Make sure you stir continuously. Pour pandan custard onto pulut layer and continue steaming for 30 minutes. Remember to cool completely before cutting!


Happy with the outcome! See the layers! Not too much of pulut!



So so happy when everyone I gave loves this! I should do this more often, and try out other kuih Melayu too since now I'm an expert at steaming hahaha.

I also tried steaming bread pudding using my usual recipe, and it turns out way nicer than baking. Faster too!

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...
