Super easy Egg Tart recipe 超简单蛋塔做法

at 10:48 PM 7 comments
Ingredients

Time to prepare: 30 minutes

for Crust:



  • butter (half)

  • 2-3 tbsps sugar (as you like )

  • 6-7 cups flour (using my special measurement)

  • 1 egg

for stuff:


  • 3/4 cup of milk (low fat or full cream)

  • 2 eggs

  • sugar (1-2 tbsp , then try see sweet enough or not, if too sweet add some more milk, if not enough sweet add more sugar, paiseh...this is how i make cake)

Utensils:

  • a pot ( i use pot instead of normal big bowl coz... you try, then u'll know why)
  • a spatula
  • fork + mini bowl (to beat eggs)
  • spoon and another bigger cup / bowl to keep and stir the mixture of eggs and milk)
  • mold
  • knife
  • a siever (around a normal cup size)

Electrical appliances:

  • a mixer
  • an oven


half butter


I bought farm cows brand, coz smell better.. but still up to u..


low fat milk / full cream milk / fresh milk / condense milk




jst get a normal wheat flour



Mixer


mold small size


normal siever (cup size)


1st => add the sugar in milk and heat under low fire, jst let it hot to melt the sugar, never boil the milk, then beat 2 eggs and mix with the milk


[another super fast way is : mix condense milk with water and eggs, but normal packed milk/fresh milk will taste better. ]



use Mixer to beat the butter and sugar until the color turn cream color,


then add in 1 egg and beat again until fluffy and well mixed.



now, this is the most important part!!

sieve the flour... using this siever as measurement (around 3/4 of the siever)
then sieve it using your finger.

use this measurement to sieve 7-8 times.


use your hand or spatula to mix the flour witht he batter, softly mix it.
never press it, but keep the air in the batter.



after mixed well the flour and batter, then only u start to knead it for one minute.

* Preheat the oven now at 180 degree. *

then mold them


use the knife the cut the overflow

[cut from middle to the side], use your palm to tab on it so that no sign of cutting.


then fill in the "milk + eggs + sugar" mixture into the cups, then bake them...


bake for about 8 minutes at 170-180 degree.

tadaaaa....here you are...

remove them after cold and keep in box



you may try to get a box with some "holes" on it, If you use air tide container, better let it cold down.Nnever use air tide container while it's hot else your crust will become kuihh...
Hope you'll like it~
TIPS: use small mold cups instead of big one, with small cup, you only bite with once, and it's very mini very cute, you'll like it.
If you use bigger mold cup, 1st sight will feel it not cute at all, then after you eat for about 4-5 bites, you still haven't finish, then u'll start to feel like not want to eat it.
as I'm a "going to be " economist, there's a term in Economics known as "Marginal Utility returns", meaning the more you eat, the extra satisfaction will getting lesser.
so, if you wanna give out as gift to someone, only give at most 3 pieces, then that person will still feel like wanting it...coz ...not enough satisfaction...
If you give 6 pieces, that person will feel "bored"of it...and dont feel your tart taste good...hehehe.. I call this as E-cook-nomics..
[Economics = E-cook-nomics]

Ciku milk ice-blended

at 11:19 PM 2 comments
Just tried a fruit juice called "Ciku milk ice-blended"....It's really nice and easy to make. Try it yourself~

Ingredients:

  • ciku
  • milk

Electrical appliances:

  • blender
  • fridge / freezer

Utensils:

  • knife
  • chopping board
  • peeler parer
  • a really nice and pretty glass



1st, you need to have ciku
(you can get it only from Cold storage at Melaka Mall as I've search all the hypermarket and they didn't sell it)
milk, low fat or full cream is up to you...


Frozen milk - you need to pour in a bowl with cover and freeze it before you can use it. I dont' use "ice-cube" as I want a PURE milk + ciku flavour.


peel the ciku and clear the seeds, then cut into smaller size.



put all these in the blender.
( you need to cut the frozen milk halves else the blade won't able to blend the frozen milk)



TAdaaaaaa............here you are~ after blend for about 1 or 2 minutes (up to you, however, the longer the period you blend it, the more fluffy it is...and taste better)

then pour into a "SUPER DUPER pretty & nice" glass
(trust me, with nice glass, you'll feel it tastes nicer, invest some money to buy nice and pretty glasses, you won't regret)


the milk ice will slowly melt, and you'll see two different color , white from milk, brown from ciku... which looks really nice...
Recommendation: get a straw to stir it and of course to suck it...

Yummmyyy......
easy right???
I drank this at Vietnam restaurant at KLCC and it cost me RM12 a glass!!! so, why not we make ourselves?? you can drink anywhere anytime....with anything you like to...
most important, you'll like it..

extension : single storey terrace house

at 7:49 PM 0 comments
1st of all, thanks to Jath and his wonderful suggestion. if not mistaken, the pic above is what he suggested. A very good example for all of us to ponder of. Besides him, is there any more suggestion. This is another place we can voice out our dream house .(hehe~)
As for type B , really sorry that i dindt' mention well regarding how to get to the backyard. Actually there's a bifold door at bedroom 3 and master bedroom. The purpose of combining all 3 bedrooms together is to avoid sound pollution.
Refer to type A bedroom 3, one may always hear the sound of kitchen. Type B stress on serenity and it's a garden at the back of house. However, as mention by Jath, the kitchen in Type B will be a problem. One way to solve it is to change the plan again, another way is shut both kitchen and living room's door. lol ^_^
maybe change the side door of the living room to the front, so that kitchen will not affect the living room...
but I still have no idea yet, maybe it follows the US style whereby no goreng and goreng stuff happen in kitchen. I don't know, welcome to give more suggestion on that. Thank you.

Type A master bedroom are also commonly design in the way that the bathroom is in the middle.

Master piece

at 9:31 PM 3 comments
上个星期突然接到小姑的电话,说她要建新的屋子,要我帮忙设计。
回想10年前,那时她要结婚,所以建屋子,事隔10年,她又要建新家了(她丈夫够有钱!!)
上次的屋子设计图也是我帮她设计的,这次也不例外。
不同的是,那时是用纸和笔设计,时代变了,我当然也追上科技,改用电脑来做设计图。
前天告诉朋友我要为姑姑设计banglow, 吓了她一跳,然后问我干嘛还要读master.
说真的,以前刚考完SPM, 很想读architecture or interior design, 但是却到MMU念商业管理。入学的第一个星期,我还打包想回家了呢!但,我是很怕母亲的人,(也很懂事,怕丢我家的脸),所以就咬紧牙根,念完大学文凭。。。 现在还念master!!!真的很不可思议耶!!!
虽然9年未碰设计,多亏于 “homedesign software" 我才能完成这次的任务。
