Foodelicious!

Yum Seng kakis wanted a birthday cake for their "kawan" but didnt want the usual sponge.. They wanted a cake that is heavy and rich to see them thru all the yum-yum seng-seng and I suggested the old fashion sugee cake. This cake is heavy, weighing in at 2kg for a mere 7inch square and was sold at RM180.

I seem to have a lot of chocolate cuppies these days. Hmmm.... This is another set for a doctor at RM4.50 each.

Traditional sponge cake.. that's what Kueh Nrng Koh means! I remember my grandma making this using a traditional spring looking thing to fluff up the eggs, whacking it till it is pale and creamy before adding flour and a bottle of ice-cream soda. How I would watch in awe and hope for a sip of ice-cream soda then. Sigh.. those were the days where I would sit patiently by the stove waiting for the lid to come off and see a happy smiling sponge cake....


Fast forward today, the traditional spring looking thing is now replaced by a powerful tool call Kenwood Master and preparation time is cut down by more than half! However, the sponge cake is still smiling like before...

These are traditional cheesecake made into cuppies topped with either strawberries or blueberries fruits and they are great for afternoon tea or as gifts to friends.

These are my daughter's handicraft! Heh! Heh! Heh! since there isnt much happening during this school holidays, I let her knock herself out with icing and cupcakes and she came up with these! I am so proud of her! Dont be surprised that one of these days, the cuppies you buy are made by my "little apprentice"....

Do you think it is too early to mimpi of a day where I can keow kar!?

Ok.. I was trying to be funky with the topping. I wanted to make swirls on the top but somehow, it didnt turn out quite nicely. Yes, the conventional way was to have the topping smooth and clear but that is pretty boring for me, hence my swirl twirl idea which wasnt quite there yet.

Anyway, this is a Mango Mousse cake with layers of vanilla sponge and mangoes flesh nicely piled up and enveloped in mango mousse. The feedback I got of this cake was that the mousse is light and flavourful (naturally! since it has quite a bit of mango puree in it) and the combination of sponge cake, mango flesh and mousse is "addictively yummy".

Personally, I am not a mousse person so, my comments dont count! Heh! Heh! Heh!... This cake was sold at RM75 and it is seasonal.

A little boy tells his fat aunt that he wants to eat sugee cake and must have transformer logo on it. His fat aunt being so smitten by him and his transformer stories came up with this.....
