My dessert diaries


Quess what?
I can't believe I tried the recipe on YouTube and succeed! *Quite success I think? xD*
Here are the recipes I used and the link I referred to.
I jotted this down here so that those who are interested can have a look at it, but the most important point is that I can straight away check from my blog when I want to try them again next time.


CARAMEL PUDDING/ CREME BRULEE
This is my first attempt on dessert. I never think that I might success! XD
It is so soft and really yummy. It's texture is like taofu. I love it so much I will definitely try it again!!
But somehow if you are not a egg or milk lover, you gotta try to add some flavoring *maybe melon milk, chocolate milk etc* or make the caramel sweeter to cover up the aroma of egg and milk.

Ingredients:
1. Sugar 75g
2. Water 45cc
3. Hot water 15cc
4. Eggs 3
5. Milk 400ml

Method:
1. Pour 45cc water into the sugar and melt it under medium heat until it turns into golden-brown bubbles like.
2. Pour about 15cc of hot water into it and immediately off the gas.
3. Pour the caramel sugar into the cups and then put them into the refrigerator.
4. Stir the eggs well in a bowl. You may add in 1-2 spoons of sugar.
5. Boil the milk until it is warm before you pour it into the eggs.
6. Whisk the milk and eggs until it is even.
7. Get the cups out from the refrigerator and filled them up with the mixture of milk and eggs.
8. Put the cups of pudding on a tray which is filled with 1/2 of water then only put it into the oven.
9. Preheat the oven and bake it at 150 degree celsius for 25-30 minutes. 
10. Take them out from the oven and leave it at the room temperature.
11. Put them into the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours. You may enjoy it now!

MACAROONS
I considered this as failed macaroons, not really well baked yet. 
The recipe I used is usable and worth a try but I guess I baked them under a lower temperature or perhaps the time I baked them is a little bit shorter. I had changed the oven temperature into 180 degree *I used 140 or 160 I couldn't remember so hopefully 180 celsius works on you* 
I turned my kitchen into a total mess! I couldn't handle those machine and oven and ingredients well. :( Thanks to my aunt for lending me a helping hand. 
I strongly advise those who would like to try on this recipe to reduce the amount of sugar/ icing sugar because it really tastes super sweet for me. But I guess macaroons taste like this. The one I tried before also kinda SWEET!

Ingredients:
1. Egg white of 2 eggs
2. Sugar 土20g
3. Icing sugar 土50g
4. Almond powder 土30g
5. Food colouring 1-2 droplets

Method:
1. Sieve the icing sugar.
2. Sieve the almond powder.
3. Mix the icing sugar and almond powder well.
4. Add in a pinch of salt and use the electric mixer to stir the egg white until it becomes cream-like material.
5. Add sugar into the cream-like egg white and mix well.
6. Add in food colouring and mix well again.
7. Add in the mixture (icing sugar and almond powder) separately into the cream-like egg white and mix well.
8. Pour the mixture into a plastic bag, cut a little hole at the edge of the plastic bag and start squeezing the mixture out onto the bakeware. 
9. Leave it for 15-25 minutes until the mixture won't stick to your fingers then only put it into the oven.
10. Preheat the oven and bake it 180 degree celsius for 土13minutes.
11. Preparing for the cream part while waiting. What you need to do is get butter melted and mix with icing sugar and some flavouring (strawberry jam/ blueberry jam/ cocoa powder etc).
12. Wipe the cream on the macaroon and it's done! :)

CHOCOLATE MOLTEN LAVA CAKE
With the soft texture of the cake and the warm chocolate cream flows out, I can say that this is heavenly nice!
Too bad I get the cake a bit over-baked. Due to it, the chocolate lava that flowed out was limited. 8 minutes is just right. I shouldn't add 2 more minutes. *kepo me :(*
 Alright, it is still yum yum and a good try. The taste of chocolate makes you crave for more!



Ingredients (for 4-5 pieces):
1. Chocolate 土100g
2. Butter 土 100g
3. Low protein flour 30g
4. Sugar 土25g
5. Eggs 2

Method:
1. Melt the chocolate and butter under medium heat.
2. Stir the eggs until it is fulled of bubbles, add in sugar in the middle of stirring.
3. When the temperature of the mixture (chocolate and butter) get lower, add it into the eggs and stir thoroughly.
4. Sieve the flour and add it into the mixture (chocolate, butter and eggs) and mix it well.
5. Apply some butter at the surface of the cups to prevent the cake stick to it afterwards. Then, pour the mixture into the cups and put them into the oven.
6. Preheat the oven and bake the cake at 180 degree celsius for about 8 minutes.
7. Done and enjoy!

Making dessert bring sadness for you when you failed.
But the sadness is only for a while. It is short and temporary.
It brings you greater satisfaction once you succeed!
Try it and have fun!

Seniors' farewell dinner 2014

For the last time, I attend seniors' farewell dinner.
I will be no longer a junior after the last batch of my seniors graduate this year end.
I will attend my own farewell dinner next year.
How fast is the time flies?! O.o

Alright, seniors' farewell dinner.
As usual, everybody wear gorgeously and make up well.
I am the only exception, again, I think.
No make up, no contact lens, no hairdo.
Who cares huh? I am not the main point tonight. haahaa Keep it for next year!

I was over sentimental tonight.
I shed tears while watching videos about seniors' memories.
I wasn't touched by the video itself, but thinking about my experience with my classmates.
Seniors and us experienced the same thing like BIG, Anak angkat, a lot of performances and so on.
So when the videos were playing, it was hard for me not to recall my own piece of memories.
And I was thinking about next year would be my last year studying in college.
And started to think about what would happened if there isn't the gang to crap with me and to laugh with me like we used to have everytime.

Back to the happy moments of farewell dinner. Let's the photos show!
 A selca with my roommie before going out for the dinner.
 Selca with Poh Choo. We both think that an 'O' shaped mouth suit us the most. 
 Us.
 Hey you youngsters, call us SENIORS! XD
 Funny photos.
 *LIKE* the Instagram frame!!

The dinner was okay. Both Yee Xien and I the eating monster couldn't filled up. Sad case.
But I didn't feel regret for going laah.
'Coz I could take photo with handsome and pretty seniors that night.
That seemed to be the only chance for us to get closer (?) and take photo together.
Seniors Sook Cheng and Jia Hui.
I felt proud yet scare when I knew that I was in the same school in them during the second practicum.
They are two of the seniors that get cemerlang. You know how stress we are to be in the same school with genius-typo people! XD Thanks for lending me teaching aids and sharing some experience with me.
Senior Zi Yang who was also in the same school with me during my second practicum.
Thanks for willing to enter and observe my class. Really appreciate his effort in giving me advice. Thanks!

Thanks to both of them for guiding me before my first practicum. Without your guidance, I think I gonna suffer a lot in my first practicum. So, all the best to you girls. =)
With Senior Ze Chian. She looked really gorgeous and pretty that night.
I still could recall he scene when I entered her room, being orientated by her and her gang of friends when I was still a freshie vividly. I get her number from another senior but I didn't know she is the owner of the telephone number. And they scared me and kind of threaten me to call that number. It was really funny! Thanks for lending me EDU text book too. Stay happy and cheerful yea! XD
Senior Stella.
Senior Hui Yin.
I believe all girls with the name 'Hui Yin'/ 'Hui Ying' are kind enough because I got two BFF with this name. This statement is no exception for Senior Hui Yin too. XD Thanks for lending me notes last time either. Happy Graduation and All The Best to YOU in the future! ;D

BC 2 Reunion Dinner

Yo! How's everybody?
We were having a class reunion dinner one day before the farewell dinner with seniors.
Time flies, we are now Sem 6 aka the Third year seniors.
It has been a really long time since the whole class hanging out, having meal together.
Sh*t happened in our class, sometimes. You know. So we seldom hang together nowadays.
But,
one of our lecturer passed away recently and I bet most of us felt the pain. 
He used his life to teach us the last lesson: appreciation. 
We all never know what comes first, accident or tomorrow. 
I think this is the 'click' that make us to get this reunion dinner run.

We want halal food. We want quality food. We want good atmosphere. 
So we gotta pay for it.
And it is actually quite pricey for poor students like us. But the memories are priceless.
Because of this reason, we joined and didn't complain anything.

BC TWO ROCKS
Flying kisses to our most most beloved mentor.
Papa's girls.
Pretty us.
Ugly us.

Papa was coming and we can finally go for food!
But FIRST, let me us take a selca. XD

Selca with Yee Ching.
 Queuing for food.
 Mango juice
 Fruits
 Black pepper chicken and Tomato fish fillet.
 Vege
 Tomyam soup
 Rojak
Sotong balls
 My favoy!! Shaved ice for ABC Ice Kacang. Really love it Aww...
Papa Zel
All of us feel really glad and thankful to have papa Zel as our mentor because he is a really open-minded Malay and he takes good care of all of us.
OOTD

 Family portrait. A serious one XD
Cheerful one.
My kissing says bye-bye ;P

It was a memorable night. RM25 worth so so much!!
We had happy moments together, acting crazily in the hotel, taking damn lotsa photo.
I really love the moment which we forget all the unpleasant incidents or misunderstanding but mix together, enjoying that particular moments together. 
Our class may not be the most outstanding class among all seniors and juniors.
Being one of the BC 2 members may bring us tears and anger. 
But somehow, this is the class that belongs to us. 
Because of BC2, we are who we are now and because of us, BC2 becomes special and irreplaceable.
I hope there will be more memorable outing to come in our last year.
