Recipe: Popia Goreng

For almost a week now that I am so craving to eat Fried Popia. But, I don't want to just buy them from the Ramadhan Bazaar. You know how they sometimes taste awful  and regret from buying them after that. You are considered yourself lucky if you find a really good Fried Popia and lest not forget the cheap one.

          I remember on the second day of Ramadhan I managed to get some of the food at the Wangsa Maju Ramadhan Bazaar near to the LRT station. I saw Popia Basah there and asked the seller, "Abang, ni berape harganya?". He answer, "Dua ringgit 4 biji dik." With the look on my face and of course some chit chat with myself, "Popia kecik kurus camni dua ringgit dapat 4? Mahal kot."...But I said to the seller, "Okey la bang, kasik dua ringgit". Hahaha, I still bought them although it was thin enough. Kempunan punya pasal. The moral is, Fried Popia or Popia Basah at the Night Market on Wednesday near my house was still the best so far! Fat, spicy and the happy thing was you can get 5 popia for RM2.00.

        This is what had happen yesterday. I made my own popia! Happy! Furthermore I was exited to shared the recipe too because it was so easy to make. Managed to do this after I arrived from the working place all away from Serdang (Imagine the jams!Penat!). Alhamdulillah, this is our Juadah berbuka puasa for yesterday.

Panic Attacked and Became Chocolate Cake!

What a day and what a panic invention that I have made last weekend...Actually according to plan, I really wanted to bake a nice and silky Tiramisu...but then again it was a disastrous plan that maybe will I "NEVER" baked again for the next 2 months...hihihi 

         So, the story begins with, I already succeed baking my chocolate sponge cake and it was marvelous. The next step is to make the cheese topping...So, I mixed the cream cheese, whip cream and sugar together using the electric mixer...then after a while...Tada~ 

          The cream was not as I expected...not even fluffy and it was sluggish...It look horrible and yuks! This when the panic strikes. I'm thinking that I don't want to waste the creams so I decided to make chocolate ganache just to garnish my chocolate sponge cake...and finally it became OMG! Superb...but honestly i need to practice more to make the chocolate ganache to get the right consistency.

Looks so tempting~

          Down there you can see how I did it...It was a s simple as ABC actually...but I don't know why I still cannot make a good one...Well, practice makes perfect. Enjoy cooking then people

My Round Tummy

OK....OK now...I know you saw it but please don't be panic~

Well to begin with I almost did it everyday. Sit up for more than 20 reps. I just can't believe it didn't work and the fellow tummy down there is getting bigger and harden it seems. I really wish it will turn out with rock of the "six pack'. Maybe it my sweetest dreams perhaps.

           Let us see what might gone wrong...today, I had a pretty good break first. It was nasi lemak with sambal sardine and some quail eggs (there is a lot of cholesterol there!OMG!). as for lunch I only ate that sweet Air Batu Campur or known as the ABC (this might not hurt I guess). But seriously it has been a few weeks that I have eaten my break first at Mamak Stall for their sweet and savory Roti Boom...haha...that why you have grown my little fellow tummy~

The last time my BF said, "Daling you have to cut from eating to much food with oil in it.."

But how can I forget the tenderness in the inside and the crispiness of the crust of the roti boom....hukhuk~

And Who can resist this yummy thing?
