Despite my hectic life, I managed to bake some cornflakes cookies for a couple of chinese friends. I wish I could do much more for many more friends but time just too limited to do so. There was no chance to bake during the week days as I came home late from work almost everyday and this one was made a week ago. This is one of my favourite recipe and cookies. After tested several other cornflakes cookies recipes, I now only stick to this one as the cornflakes stay crunchy! Previously posted here.

To all chinese friends, GONG XI FA CAI and have a joyous & prosper snake year!

This simple breakfast ala Egg Benedict in Roti Canai pie is such a simple idea that I created since my electric pie maker arrived several days ago.

2. Cut roti canai using the pie cutter & place it in the pie maker.
Place cheese then egg into the roti canai casing.
Sprinkle some black pepper.
3. Cover & cook about 10 minutes or more/less of how much you like the egg to be cooked.
4. Serve with soy sauce, tomato ketchup or chili sauce.

Seronok nya dapat pie maker ni... import khas dari Australia. Senang nak sediakan sarapan selepas ni sebab tersangat lah mudah & cepat masak nya. Lubang nya besar, memang kenyang makan seketul pun. Dah macam2 yg Along buat tapi tak sempat nak snap gambo nya. Senang2 nanti Along kongsikan apa yg Along buat dgn pie maker ni ya. Kali ni buat Pai Telur Mata Kerbau yg Along reka sendiri.... memang best ala2 Western tapi sudah di melayukan kerana pastri tu guna roti canai. Roti canai nya rangup & telur nya boleh adjust nak tiga-suku masak atau masak sepenuhnya.

By: AlongRoz@HomeKreation
BAHAN2
Saiz sebiji pai: 4" daimeter
1 keping Roti Canai - utk setiap pai
1/2 Cheese Slice
1 bj telur
Serbuk Lada Hitam
Anda perlu ada pie maker seperti gambar di atas (Along rasa masak dlm oven pun boleh)

CARA2:
1. Panaskan pie maker sehingga lampu siap-sedia menyala.
2. Potong roti canai dgn cutter pie maker & letakkan ke dalam pie maker.
Letakkan cheese & pecahkan telur ke dalam nya.
Taburkan serbuk lada hitam.
3. Tutup & masak lebih-kurang 10 min - masa bergantung kpd tahap masak telur yg di ingini.
4. Hidangkan dgn kicap atau sos yg di sukai.

Making murtabak is not difficult anymore for those who are worried about making the Roti Canai dough. It can easily be resolved by using ready made frozen Popiah skin instead. Making the filling is a breath and the murtabak will be on the way for breakfast or evening tea in no time! The skin is crispy while is hot.... very nice.

I had bad experience with food poisoning because often the murtabak stall will store the leftover and sell it again the next day. Making it yourself will guarantee hygiene and taste better too!

Chapati is my family traditional's meal, loved by everyone... I came from a very big family and I recalled that when we were children, everytime my mother made chapati for dinner, we all applaused with joy - it was considered special. My father too took a pride of my mother's chapati that he considered the best. My grandmother was half Indian and therefore making chapati was considered a basic skill.

This time I made chapati folders - using the basic chapati recipe but further fry it on griddle until crispy and with filling. Since it is using atta flour (wholemeal), it is very filling but my sons had two each!

Water + salt + sugar
- Mix & knead. Divide into 8 balls & brush with oil.
- Leave it for at least 10 minutes before roll it thin.
- Cook on a hot griddle, flipping frequently until cooked.
- Spread with butter/ghee once cooked.

FILLING:
Some leftover beef steak
1 Big onion
Chopped Cabbage, Tomato & Cucumber, Red Chili
Pounded 2 cloves garlic, ginger, black pepper

SAUCE:
BBQ Sauce, Mayonnaise, Chili Sauce

1. Heat up 1-2 tbsp oil & stir-fry pounded ingredients until fragrant.
Add in the rest & stir for a minute.
2. Melt a tbsp margarine & place a piece of cooked chapati.

Ada pula beef steak leftover dari malam, so hiris2 buat filling, memang best sangat tengok they all makan. Roti ni guna tepung atta, so memang cepat kenyang - emak Along suka buat ni tapi lipat 4 segi & cicah dgn kuah sardin dan kacang panjang goreng untuk makan malam... abang2 Along dan arwah Abah suka sangat makan camtu.

Nak bancuh & uli ni kena pandai supaya roti tak liat, nak cerita pun tak tau... Selalu nya org perap dulu supaya tepung nya lembut tapi Along selalu buat tak main perap2, terus je canai & roti tetap lembut walaupun sudah sejuk. Bagi anda yg baru nak belajar, kena lah perapkan sebentar k.

My baking mood is switched on while AngahRuz is home during CNY. There were some stale bread in the fridge so I turned them into bread pudding for breakfast which is always the kids' favourite. It was a big hit amongst the two boys, Liana & daddy as usual. This time I bake the pudding in pie maker and it is cooked just within 7 minutes! Conventionally takes 45 minutes to cook a pan in an oven. I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar in layers and on top to produce brown look and also very fragrant pudding!

Bread pudding does not require accurate measurement and therefore dummies can make it successfully.... most importantly it is very delicious! Here is the way I made mine, usually throwing whatever I have in hand.

Didn't snap many photos and was quite disappointed with what came out... none really look good and reflects what it really looks like! Anyway, for those from Sarawak surely know how this looks like.... just like its name, it is black and deliciously spiced deep fried beef lung.

You can also buy from weekend night market - quite expensive... few pieces cost RM3/- despite cheap cost and not much effort in cooking it!

Yeeeey.... musim bubuk datang lagi! Selepas musim dabai, durian, cempedak & macam2 buah2an sekarang ni musim bubuk (udang geragau) pula.... alhamdulillah.... rezki murah, dapat dua bekas cencaluk from a kind friend! Homemade cencaluk memang the best... fresh! Maceh ya friend.... selera makan nasi malam tu!

Malas nak buat cencaluk sendiri sebab tak termakan nanti bila buat banyak2. Kalau ada siapa2 yg teringin nak buat cencaluk sendiri, boleh lah tengok kat sini ya.

Tengoklah betapa fresh nya cencaluk home-made.... nampak sekor2 udang bubuk tu.... kalau beli yg dalam botol kan dah hancur & masam. Homemade punya tak masin sangat & takda rasa masam pun, memang menyelerakan bila di campur dgn limau & cabai!

Ni pula full month baby gift from office mate.... takda kena mengena dgn tajuk tapi dapat ni same day dgn cencaluk. Thank-you SH and may your baby girl grow healthily!

Another creation from banana.... after successful banana apam before this, I tried to make chunky banana pie with crumble topping and am impressed with my own creation! I used very light and crumbly short crust pastry... outcome was pleasantly crispy & melt in the mouth but I had one problem.... making it in the pie maker without any casing will make it impossible to lift it out in one whole piece because the pastry is so crumbly while it is hot. To save the next batch, I rolled the pastry on a paper cake liner before placing it into the pie maker. The pie is best consumed immediately and served with ice-cream which I regret because it wasn't planned earlier. Sometimes when idea sprung out, I just gotta jump immediately before the mood dies out and as a consequence, not everything is available as wished.

Satu lagi idea rekaan Along sendiri untuk mempergunakan pisang yg ada ni. Sebelum ni Along ada kongsi resepi Apam Pisang Gula Hangus dan beberapa kekawan dah mencuba dan berpuas hati. Ada kawan sorang tu buat lagi berturut2 atas permintaan anak2 & hubby.

Resipi kali ni Along guna shortcrust pastry (tak tau camna nak translate ni), yg sememang nya amat rapuh & gebu. So bila masak dlm pie maker, bila nak keluarkan habis berderai sebab belum sempat sejuk & mengeras. Untuk selesaikan masalh tu, Along gelek pastry tu atas kertas kek baru letakkan ke dlm pie maker... barulah senang nak angkat pie yg sudah masak.

Pie ni sedap di makan terus semasa crust nya masih rangup. Kalau nak simpan sampai esuk, kena di panaskan semula baru lah sedap. Hidangkan dgn aiskrim atau sos kastad baru terangkat tapi tak sempat lak nak pi beli eskrim dah abis ngap....hehe.

Hi to everyone and especially the Homekreation followers and friends. Apology for being quiet and this is my first entry in March so far.... too loaded with many things in head and my heart was quite down too.

I made this cake about two weeks ago as a gift to a friend from Dubai but only today that I managed to pass the cake to her. I postponed this entry until the cake is in her hand so that it will be little surprise.... LOL it is just an ugly cake, not so much surprise after all but I hope my little gift will cheer her up. My condolence to her, hubby & whole family for the loss of their beloved mum few days ago. Sorry sis that I sliced it a bit so that can show off the design here.

It was a fun gathering yesterday afternoon as a last 'lepak-lepak'with Riz before she moves to KL next week. It was just a small gathering and simple menu. Hope Riz has good memory of Miri & Sarawak after 4 years here. My most unforgettable moment with Riz was when we both crazily volunteered into sumo fight competition last year. It was very hilarious and good entertainment for the crowd too - for sure we both had good time altho Riz suffered few bruises....

Friendly hug before getting into the fight....

Let's see the menu for the occasion......

1. Fried Chicken Rice
2. Beef Bone Soup
3. Bihun Utara with Sos Kicap Kaw (Meehoon Soup)
4. Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Topping
5. Sarawak Kek Hati Parek
6. Nestle & Chocolate Pudding
7. Guava Pickles
8. Pineapple Pickles
9. Plums & Grapes (courtesy from Suria)
