Crepes with strawberry

We had crepes for today's brekkie. Simple yet fulfilling. I'll post the recipe later..and this surely a keeper coz everyone just loved it as much as i did. Hepi mama nya :)

You can serve the crepes with any toppings or filling to ur liking. In our case, i dusted it with icing sugar n ate them with strawberry n hersheys chocolate sauce...yummy ok! Imagine if u hv whipped cream n stuff it inside ur crepes, surely tastes even awesome!

UPDATE:
Here goes the recipe. Original link refer HERE

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • ¼ tsp Kosher salt (or ⅛ tsp table salt)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar (for sweet crepes only)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for sweet crepes only)

Preparation:

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. The batter should be fairly thin and pourable, but still creamy.

  2. Now let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This is an important step.

  3. Heat a 9- to 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat, and add some butter or oil, or just spray it with some cooking spray.

  4. Let the pan get hot for about 30 seconds, then pour a small amount of crepe batter onto the center of the pan. About ¼ cup to ⅓ cup should be the right amount for most pans. Swirl the pan around so that the crepe batter coats the whole pan, right up to the edges.

  5. Now let the crepe cook for about 30 seconds.

  6. Flip the crepe, let it cook for about 10 more seconds, and then remove to a cutting board or plate.

  7. Keep repeating the process until all the batter is gone, then serve either serve the crepes hot or let them cool while flat, then store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Macaroni Alfredo

Not really sure what's the exact difference between alfredo & carbonara sauce. But my version of alfredo is a slightly less thickened sauce..which is not too muak i guess :)
Recipe is very simple. Suitable for mommies who wanted to settle for a quick home-cooked dinner after a long n tiring day at the office :)
Melt some butter, sautee the holland onion, add cubed chickens, sliced button mushroom, prawns or any proteins to ur liking. Then add enough fresh milk for the gravy, whipping cream, put some salt, paprika, black pepper n oregano or mixed herbs. Lastly put shredded cheddar cheese n cubed capsicum..& yesss u're DONE!
P/s: ni mmg my eldest's most top favourite food aside from mac n cheese. Sumer yg cheezy2 eh haha

Last few weeks baru beli bread flour, bread improver and bread softener...fuhh pestaim beli nih, almaklumlah tgh mood rajin nk blajar meroti. Kiranya kalo part meroti ni i'm really a beginner...time buat tu ntah brape kali baca resepi nak kasik paham hehe mcm slow sket otak nak absorb :p

Fuuhh panjang kan steps dia? haha kalo tak tabah tak payahla try resepi nih..mmg penat. Anyway my review, aroma kopi tu tak harum semerbak mcm kat kedai..maybe kena tambah byk sket kopi essence tu baru power...atau guna kopi cap mahal haha. Roti plak tak se fluffy version roti boy...maybe tak cukup proofing...atau kedai2 roti tuh maybe ade secret ingredient yg bole buat bun jadi lembut giler gitu.  Filling dia - i prefer kalo manis sket lagi....baru rasa kontra dgn dough roti yg plain tuh. Sebab topping tu pon takdela rasa kopi atau manis sgt....but anyway, hubby kata sedap walaupun tak selembut bun kedai :) Toppings masih byk berbaki...i simpan dlm fridge jer. Maka next time terpaksala buat bun lain plak to make use of the leftover toppings hihi.

Next challenge - i wanna try doing cinnamon rolls....feveret jugak nih! :))

roti boy yg dah siap proofing and dibubuh toppings secara spiral effect menggunakan piping bag...mulakan dari bhgn tgh yer.

Siap!! Kaler tak cukup gelap kan...haa means kopi tak cukup tuhhh hehe

Rumah Makan Cibiuk

Lokasi: Taman Putra Kajang
Menu: masakan ala Sunda

First time ke sini setelah beberapa kali dgr review dr kawan2 yg pernah dtg. Kata mereka sedappp...dan sambalnya sgt special dan pedas. Today dating berdua jer..kids sekolah while kami cuti Hari Wilayah hehe
Meja agak penuh time sampai..so kami decide utk duduk bersila di meja berlapikkan bantal. Okla baru fefeeling kat Bandung ye tak hehe. Lepas browse menu for few minutes, kami decide utk order 2 meal...nasi liwet dan nasi.timbel...both lauk ayam bakar.

Review: mmg sedap especially nasi liwet tu...dia mcm guna beras pulut. 1 set nasi tu ade lauk ayam bakar, tempe, tauhu goreng, ikan masin, timun salad dan sambal cibiuk. Portion nasi agak byk..perut rasa nk pecah arghhhh. Sambal cibiuk dia mmg pedas..mmg menyelerakan. Pestaim kami mkn nasi mcm ni masa pergi Bandung dulu..dekat atas food court Pasar Baru. Then dessert kami order pisang goreng cheese yg glamer tuh. Pisang tu dibalut dgn roti yg di roll nipis dan disalut bread crumbs b4 digoreng. Then pisang goreng tu dihias dgn grated cheddar cheese n drizzled with chocolate n strawberry sauce :) next time kt rumah bole buat sendiri yer korang!!

Harga 1 set nasi rm14.90, pisang goreng rm10.90, mocha ais rm3.90, hot lemon tea rm3.90. Affordable la jugak sbb sgt mengenyangkan! Next time rasanya kami share nasi sepinggan n order lauk extra kot. Ada surau dan tandas yg selesa disediakan utk para tetamu.

Set nasi liwet yg hubby order. nasi dibungkus daun pisang..mcm beras pulut rasa dia..lain dr yg lain.
 
pisang goreng cheese. next time cuba buat sendiri ok!!

Homemade beef patty

I'm now trying to minimize buying sausage n other frozen food as those probably contains high unwanted fats n excessive preservatives. So here we go a simple yet tasty homemade beef patty, to replace the frozen beef burger that u can find on the shelf. A 1/2kg beef can yields approx 10pcs patties...just good enough for a 1-2 week ration :)

How to:
Put the beef, onion, garlic, daun sup, salt, coarse black pepper n 1 egg into a food processor. Run your fp for few minutes... Bila daging dh hancur, flatten the beef into round shape according to your desired size. Some people put bread crumbs to get the beef sticks together..ai letak tepung sket time shape kan beef tuh. So that's it senang je kan! Hehe
