after kneading all the ingredients, recipe is from a recipe book at home.

after proofing it in warm area for 40 minutes, doubled in size.

second proofing for about 45 minutes.

after second proofing, double in size again

finished baking 30-35 mins

looks nice.

the strong bread protein structure is not there

super macro shot of the crumbly structure.

Post mortem:

– cause of this failed bread could be due to my incorrect mixing sequence, butter should be put in earlier, but i mixed it in when the bread is fully kneaded and springy(kneaded for about 5 minutes), and the butter unable to penetrate into it, thus i torn the bread into small pieces rubbing in the butter, that’s probably where the bread protein structure is disrupted and broken.

Was testing out the preset scenery options of Olympus, below are some of the description of the options, also pics of camera pouch in macro position… testing out the clarity of macro and its background.

– Landscape: vivid reproductions of blues and greens

– Night: shooting illuminated scenes in evening or night, Uses lower shutter speed, stable the camera for best result

– Night portrait: shooting both subjust and illuminated background in evening, shutter speed is slowed

– Sport: capture fast moving without blurring

– Indoor: shoot both main subject and indoors

– Candle: shooting under candlelight, warm colors are reproduced

– Sunset: vivid reproduction of reds and yellows

– Fireworks: slower shutter speed

– Cuisine: for still life photography, vividly reproducte colors of fruits, flowers etc

– Document: increase contrast between letter and background

– Beach & snows: for shooting white sand sea scape and other whitish background.

I find “Cuisine” and “Document” take macro really well, although i find taking food pic with cuisine allows for better contrast and colors.

Whereas “Sunset” & “Landscape” will show background clearly. “Night scene” and “fireworks” works as well.

Damansara Kim is in SS20, near Tropicana city mall. This stall is open on Monday – Sunday, 9:30am till 3:30pm

only 1 lady cooking, prepare to wait for a while

menu, i find their picture misleading, however they do wisely quote “actual dish may vary” at the bottom of the menu. And the dessert sago gula melaka comes with red bean in the above pic, but the actual order came without :\ that is quite a big variance.

drinks and dessert menu

herbal jelly/cincau on the left and longan drink to the drink, their drinks are sweeter than i would prefer.

cili padi(bird eye chilis) which is coarsely blended, nice.

my harun fish noodle with lai fun, RM9.80, you can opt for mee hoon type for RM9.50… Lai fun is usually used for assam laksa, it is too smooth for a fish noodle dish 🙁

Fish paste noodle, RM8

ABC/ice kacang/mixed ice dessert

sago gula melaka/tapioca balls with palm sugar coconut base

their soup is nice, but the lai fun is a turn off. My haruan fish is really fresh and thickly sliced. A lot of customer frequent this place.

Seafood congee with shreaded duck meat, RM10.80, watery, disappointing
