Glutinous rice is one of my favourite dish, i love it as i am a rice person. This blog is slowly turning so much into a recipe and cooking site than food review site, not sure it is a good thing… hehe, but as long as it taste good, and worth mentioning, it will be here to stay. I did wonder how to cook such dish until i stumble upon one of the newspaper cutting recipe that mum religiously cut down, but never really make them. It was about 7 years ago when i first made it, and up till down, have done it several times. yum yum especially love the rice when it is really soft and stickyish. Above is dried mushroom.

some black fungus (can buy this in chinese grocery store if you are from oversea)

some dried oyster, usually i don’t put this, but they are some left in the fridge, so better used it up.

soak one pack of glutinuos rice overnight(500gm pack), next day, pour away the water till it is kinda dry, steam it for about 20 mins, use fork to separate grains half way thru to make sure all grains are steamed properly.

fry shallot/onion + garlic till fragrant, add in chicken, fried till the chicken is slightly browned.

add in the sliced mushroom, black fungus, dried oyster, the water you see above is the water used to soak mushroom(don’t throw away the “mushroom water”, the recipe did specify chicken stock, but mushroom water is fine)

add in the steamed glutinous rice, the rice will soak up the water nicely.

here you see it is fully soak up. If it seems a bit too soupy, you can stir it till it dries up. Scoop it up for savouring.

For make it more delish, i prefer to steam this dish when i want to eat it, so that the rice get even softer, like those in chinese dim sum.

above is the recipe which i copied from newspaper cutting, in chinese. 😛

Few weeks ago, finally time to change the car battery after a lil more than 4 years using the Yokohama battery which comes with the car. This cost me RM165, if i trade in the old battery, they will give me RM5 off, but i didn’t as i think it is worth RM10 or more, am i correct?

This battery is maintenance free, namely you don’t need to fill in battery water, you will change it only if you can’t start your car smoothly.

Made this cake for colleague’s birthday, had all the ingredients at home, just needed to buy a plain yoghurt. Recipe taken from Farmgirl Fare. Above is plain Liteyo Yoghurt, orange rind, egg and orange juice.

beat butter and sugar till fluffy and whitish

mixture above curdle badly as i added the liquid too fast, should add slowly and mix till incorporated before adding more liquid, but heard this doesn’t affect the end product, so bah…… First add wet ingredients. Then, fold in the dry ingredient(flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt)

looks fluffy, hope that it will be moist

taste like butter cake with slight orange taste, not bad as it is moist and slightly crumbly.

in another instance, made a bannock wrapped hotdog, taste bad, i am saying as a person who doesn’t like bread that much as the texture is kinda dense(from the milk etc). Recipe from everybody like sandwiches.

starting to bake(about 25 minutes)

done, i turn over the right top one to reveal the crusty bottom which is probably the only tasty bit of the pastry. The liquidy stuff is cheese.

Lil something to fill up my stomach, i find this to be a decent Pan Mee stall, although nothing much to shout about, i do like that they have halved “limau” which is a nice addition to the soup.

loh pan mee, RM4.30, generally find pan mee cooked this style is not nice, but does fill you up nicely.

my pan mee with soup, RM3.80

Opening hour: 7:00am – 10:00pm(but they do close early if the pan mee is sold out)
