Making cendol in Melbourne

Summer is here now. I think it'll be nice to quench your thirst with a good cold drink. So, I decided to make cendol. This will be my addition to my kitchen :)

It is made with real pandan juice with no artificial flavours and colours.

Please pm me if you want to make an order. Btw, I can be reached via BB (758954FA), too.

Angku kueh (red tortoise cake) - First trial

Phew....I finally made this kueh. I bought all the ingredients for quite a while but kept on delaying of making this. Since making this kueh is quite time consuming, I can only make it when there's no martabak order.

It took me almost 2 hours making these goodies.

There were some errors I made:

1. Instead of buying mung bean, I bought yellow split peas :( Luckily I still had a little bit of mung beans in my pantry but with skin on. According to the instruction in the internet, the skin will be easily peeled off after they are soaked overnight. Somehow I couldn't get all the skin peeled off,  resulting in 'dirty' looking filling. I'll buy the peeled mung bean next time to save time.

2. I didn't mash my sweet potatoes properly which made my angku skin not really smooth.

Despite all those errors, they taste good. The skin is chewy and soft. The filling is good too, even though I can feel the skin.

Anyway, I need to look for a proper mould.

Nutella and banana fillings for martabak

Yay!! Nutella and banana are now available for martabak fillings. To be honest, I had not tried this combination before until last night. 

They taste very good even though personally I still prefer the classic combination. Anyway, still same price and same generous amount of nutella and banana on the martabak. 

Be careful of what you wish for!

Remember the other day I mentioned that I was considering to sell lapis legit?

Crazily, someone sent me a message and asked if I could make a lapis legit right after I published the post.

As she needed it quite urgently, I didn't have time to get all the ingredients and bake the cake for her.

The following day, I gathered all the ingredients that I need and bake it. I have baked this cake few times but never used my own oven. Since every oven works differently, it was really a trial and error in baking the first layer. I had to scrap the first layer as it's slightly burnt.

The cake was not tall enough. I'll use smaller cake tin next time. And, I'll scoop more batter for each layer.

Overall, I am satisfied with the taste of the cake. Just need an improvement on the texture.

And, GOSH, according to myfitnesspal (an app to keep track of daily calorie intakes,) one small slice contains 307 calories! It equals to my one normal meal!

Now I need to burn more calories after eating a few slices.

A short message from me

Hi lovelies,

How's your week? Hope you had a great one!

Hehe, I think I should have updated this blog more often. Since this blog and my facebook page are very quiet, some people asked if i still sell martabak. Hehe, yes we are still open for business. Sorry for my laziness, guys.

Anyway, I've started getting more orders from non-friend customers. And, all of them are very satisfied with my martabak manis. It feels good to receive positive feedbacks. One of my customers even ordered two times within a week :)

So that's my update. Short and sweet like me!

Enjoy your weekend and drop me a message if you wanna enjoy your weekend with some martabak!


Cheers!

PS: I'm considering to sell lapis legit. I'm abit hesistant to make this particular cake due to the extensive labour hour of baking this cake. Oh well, I'll decide later!
