The Hunt for Pineapple Paste

Just now my mum and I went to 3 places in search for pineapple tart jam. We're going to make pineapple tarts!! :) Hahaha macam we celebrate Chinese New Year.

There was only one ingredient left to buy, which was the pineapple paste. My mum said the shop she always buy from didn't have stock, so we went to see if NTUC and Cold Storage have it. But then! Disappointed lah! Both don't have lor! Cold Storage ran out of stock, NTUC didn't even have it I guess. Wah so many people making pineapple tarts meh!! Cannot be lah! Even during the Hari Raya period the pineapple paste wasn't out of stock.

Then we went Chong Pang my favourite pasar to buy groceries and to see if really the stock hasn't come in yet. And lo and behold! We found it!! Hahaha. At first we found pineapple paste of another brand, but since we really needed it, the brand didn't matter lah. We're going to modify the paste anyway. Then!! At another rack, my mum found the brand we usually buy! Wah my mum was so excited macam we struck gold! Wahahahaha

It's been a few weeks since I've been to Chong Pang, so I haven't seen the CNY stuff they're selling and all. I tell you! Don't have to go Chinatown also can! Mini Chinatown rite there lor! CNY songs can be heard in almost every store! So many types of decor can be found! I was looking out for Yin's dancing pig but I couldn't find it. But there are other dancing stuff lah. Like dancing ingots. Hahaha. And there's soo many cute pigs! Wahahaha. But I think the bak kwa collection here is not as extensive. HAHAHA.

CNY like so fun lydat hor! :)

Bubur Asyura

Finally made this! Have been wanting to do so cos this porridge has loads of nuts. Not exactly a healthy porridge though since there's coconut milk. I already have most of the ingredients and had the time, so why not! I realise there's different types of bubur Asyura but I settled for the one closest to us, the Johor version . There's a lottt of ingredients, so I'll list in order of which goes into the pot first. I also boiled the mutton a day earlier so I can collect and throw away the fat from the stock. Bubur Asyura Saute: 1 stalk lemongrass 1 cinnamon stick 1 star anise 3 cardamoms 5 cloves 2 big onions, sliced 1 inch ginger, sliced 3 garlic, sliced 10 cups water (half is mutton stock, half water) 1 cup rice, washed 300g mutton, already cooked and shredded 1 tbsp soto powder 1/3 cup dhal, soaked in water for 10 min 1/3 cup peanuts, washed 1 1/2 carrots, diced 1 can chickpeas, washed 1 can kacang pool, washed 1/2 can sweet corn, washed 1 small box coconut milk Heat o...

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...

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
