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!

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius. 

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
