Chocolate Brownies

Hi, i believe most of us would celebrate on Valentine's Day, well..... me and my husband do not celebrate much and no flowers from my husband but we usually dine out at nice restaurant, simple as that.

Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Many times when i dine out, i always unsatisfied with a few types of soup, especially the pumpkin soup.......mainly because majority of them either serve you the soup from the can, or from the ready made pumpkin powder, or the texture of the soup is rather dilute! So i told myself why not i make my own pumpkin soup? Well, i did!

I have tried couples of time, adjusting the ingredients, improvised it to make it taste better. I have settled down the ingredients for better taste, but still not satisfied.......something is not right...........yes, it's the texture and the consistency of the soup! Despite i have tried to add more cream it was still the same!

Then until one day i asked myself, will it make any different if i use different type of pumpkin? Before, i was using either the local pumpkin or China pumpkin. So i decided to give it a try!!

Finally, i tried on Butternut Pumpkin. Guess what? It Works!!!! Bingo!

I don't know about you, different people has different liking of the consistency, but this recipe works for me, and my conclusion is......different types of pumpkins really make the different in term of the consistency!

As there are many types of pumpkins, some are good for steaming, stir frying, making desserts, finger food and soup, in time to come i won't hesitate to try the varieties of the pumpkins! I shall share them at my blog, so do come back for the update!

Kong Pao Tien Ji ( Kong Pao Frog )

Kong Pao Tien Ji ( Kong Pao Frog )

Yes you heard it right! This is an expensive and sumptuous dish you can find it at the restaurants and some "chu-char stall" ! 

Tien Ji as in Mandarin, Tim Kai as in Cantonese, means "frog". This is a Chinese delicacy and most people love it! Most of Chinese would have this dish on special occasions. Even in the movie "Shanghai Knights" by Jacky Chan, one of the actors Owen Wilson mentioned about "Kong Pao Chicken" during the cut where he was having intimacy with Fann Wong! 

If you ask me why it is called "chicken" instead of "frog", well......i do not know, haha! Maybe it looks like small version of chicken? If any of you know the answer, please let me know, thanks!

* ( You may substitute the frog with chicken meat if you like. )

I hope you like my recipe for this dish, enjoy!

Mini Prata ( Roti Canai ) Sausage Roll

What if you do not have time to prepare the dough for party finger food? You want something easy to prepare, fast and simple. Here you are Prata ( Roti Canai ) Sausage Roll !

Usually i would prepare the dough from scratch, but because i have injured my hand i can't do it, as i only have one hand to do simple task.

So i just went to the nearby mall to get the really made dough for pastry, unfortunately i couldn't find one. In order not to get disappointed of coming back empty handed, i  bought something else as substitute!  The Frozen Prata!! hehehe.......

Prata, that's what it is called in Singapore while in Malaysia it is called Roti Canai, it's actually the Indian pancake. Crispy pancake that goes well with curry! The main traditional ingredient used in making the Prata pancake is  "GHEE", the fat from lamb. Nowadays people are more health conscious they use margarine to substitute the GHEE. 

This recipe is very easy and fast to prepare, even a kid can do it too! I only have one hand to do, if i can do it so can you!

The Famous Cookies - Oreo Cookies! Yes, here is your Oreo Chocolate Chips Cupcakes!

Oreo Chocolate Chips Cupcakes

Most of us may know the yummy cookies of all time for all ages, the Oreo Cookies! Yes! Here you are, my Oreo cupcakes with the mixed of chocolate chips!

In this recipe, i use the muscovado sugar instead of white sugar. Why??  Well simply because of two reasons......1) muscovado is raw sugar from sugar cane, and it is more natural, 2) white sugar is more sweet, as the Oreo cookies are already sweet so i just want to balance up the level of the sweetness.

This Oreo Cupcakes are all time favorite! Especially if you are holding a party! So, don't hesitate to try my Oreo Chocolate Chips Cupcakes recipe and let me know if you like it! Thanks and happy baking!
