Last wednesday, went to Taman Connought, Cheras' night market. While was shopping around for finger food. There's a gutter foul kind of stench polluting the air, I was wondering what on earth can it be? Turns out it was ;

Chew Chew Smelly Tofu!

YES! Smelly tofu! or most of you guys call it, CHOW TOU FU! The line to buy was long, as in L--O--N--G! So I persevered and get in line. Bought 8 cubes and finish it on the spot, then only to find out, I forgotten to take a picture of it. Silly me.

The line 

And also the following day in college, we made Brownies and Cupcakes!




Brownies taste awesome especially with the ganache and super soft chewy chocolate cake with bits and pieces of walnuts and cherry. Totally sinful to indulged in it!

And also cupcakes! The recipe they use turns ot to be butter cake. Iced with Royal Icing. Which is uber sweet! But looks good! 



So girly!

Everyone's trying to live healthy right now. Choices of healthy food are made everyday, like for example, No Sugar Added breads and rye, or maybe No Gluten? But there's two that we made in class the other day, I've forgotten the other one's name.

I believe both of this bread is super healthy, because we put nuts, grains, apricots, cherries, oats and raisins. Natural sugar from the dried fruits and its something like the Muesli bar except its bread!

Everyone in class got 2 loaves of bread, trust me. It is nice.

baking in the oven!



Note : There's 2 kind of breads in the above picture, one with raisin, another w/o.

My poor poor food blog, its been awhile I've neglected you! Now I shall revive you with cakes! Been really lazy to even sign in blogspot to even moderate the comments. Few weeks back, at MIB we made Chocolate Gateau, which consist of layers of buttercream, chocolate ganache and chocolate cake.

Note : Fattening!

First of, start by baking a chocolate cake, the same recipe used for Black Forest Cake, then after cooling.Layer the cake with a cake knife until 3 layers. Like so ;

After layering, apply first layer with buttercream, then cake layer, and buttercream again. Avoid too much buttercream as it doesn't taste real good itself (too buttery) . Then cream the whole cake with buttercream again. Prepare enough ganache to drizzle over the whole cake. Like so ;

Let ganache on cake cool and set before decorating it. Then after that, you may design and decorate your cake with strawberries, chocolate flowers/leaves or white chocolate.

Finished product might look like this ;

The design I tried to make that looked like a deformed penis totally ruined my cake. Thanks to some idiot who cut the piping bag's hole too big, too much white chocolate squirted out when the piping bag was squeezed!

Note : Don't think of something else when you read "squirt ".
