Try to do some pizza...
Here are the ingredients for pizza dough

1 1/2 cups of self-raising flour
pinch of salt
1 egg
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup of milk

Procedure:
Sift the self-raising flour & salt into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
In a separate bowl, beat together egg with olive oil and milk
Stir into self-raising flour & mix all the ingredients into soft dough
Turn mixture onto a floured surface and knead lightly.
Divide the dough into half
Roll evenly and put on an oily tray...
Top with favourite topping...
Then bake in a preheated oven at 200 deg C for 15- 20 mins.

remark: can reduce the milk to prevent dough too sticky

Here are the topping I put:
Tomato spread + capsicum + mini sausage + Muar otak-otak + cheddar cheese

I guess not cheesy enough, should put some mozzarella cheese next time...

Sweet Hut Gathering

I'm a dessert person.... I just cant resist to try on any desserts...

 

This is one of the dessert café that I went recently...

It's called "Sweet Hut"

Locate at the Kota Laksamana new shop lot.

Exact location just beside the Kensington Restaurant.

 

Here are some of the desserts and foods that we ordered..

I have difficulties to remember the food name as we just ordered it according to the code..

So I totally forgot the dessert's name...

 

Papaya + aloe vera + egg white (good for skin) :)

 

Famous dessert in Hong Kong "杨枝金露”  (mango + pamelo +ice cream)



 My all-time favourite, but this a little bit too sweet...

Black sesame glutinous rice 

Not my favourite but one of the mummy crave for something chewy like "mochi"

 

 Chocolate lava

Frankly said, I love the ice cream more than the chocolate lava :p

 

mini tart...

We ordered this cause all of us were so hungry as we didn't took our lunch yet

Eventually, all the desserts cant fulfilled the mummy stomach...

We still feel hungry although we ate all the desserts...

So we ordered something salty..

Just some potato wedges and fries...

I didn't captured the photo as it do not look interesting at all...



 

 Anyway, they had something special ---> Charcoal Burger
My fren tasted this and she said it's too dried...
May be they should put more mayo or cheese to make it tastier...

 And the last one, group photo!
It's a must to remember every of our "BFF gathering"

That's all ..

Hire a maid

Most of the family nowadays with both parent working to support the family expenses..
When they have kids, if they are lucky enough.. their in-law or parent will offer to take care their kids...
Else, they need to hire a nanny or a maid...

Talked about maid...
It's really not cheap to hire a maid...
Deposit 12k... and you need to pay them 1.2 k monthly...
Not only that...
You need to provide meal and place to sleep for them..

I don't know how is the other family treat their maid...
But I think the maid in my SIL house is so lucky...
She sleeps til 730am daily...
After wake up, she will has a cup of coffee with biscuit or cake...
Then she will clean the baby's bottle and mop the floor..
Once the kid wake up, she will handle the kid, bath her and feed her..
Accompany her do some kid 's activities..

Lunch time my MIL will ask her to heat up the leftover meal from yesterday for lunch...
As my MIL normally didn't cook during lunch and she will eat bread as brunch...
If there is no rice available, MIL will ask her cook some mee or light meal for herself...
About 4pm, she will has another tea break...

What the maid need to do is just clean the house and wash clothes (with washing machine)..
And accompany the kid...
Dinner will be prepared by my MIL, and she will cook 3 dish + 1 soup..
The maid will eat the same food as us...
She really has a good appetite, she will top up her rice normally...

Night time basically she will need to wash all the plate and bowl....
After that, she can rest (normally she joins my MIL watch some drama)
She sleeps with my MIL in the aircond room...

I just read a news recently on how the maid being abused by only given 1 meal per day and sleep for 2 hrs...So pity the maid...
They left their hometown and their family just to earn more money for their family...
They shall not deserve to be tortured...
As long as they are hardworking and really help us in the daily chores...
We should treat them as part of the family...

Okay... me seems like talk too much liao..
That's all for the maid story.

Homemade Chocolate Swiss Roll Cake

It's Malaysia public holiday....

4 days staying at home taking care baby...

To prevent me from bored to the max...

I decided to learn bake cake...

This is my first attempt to bake Swiss roll cake....

 

All the ingredients ready: egg, flour, sugar, cocoa powder, whipping cream, vanilla essence...

So I started with the frosting cream...

The instruction is to use hand mixer and whip the cream until stiff...

So I ma keep beating without knowing how stiff is stiff... @@

End up the whipping cream become watery and can not be use...

Alternative.. I change to butter frosting.... sigh...

 

Then, I started to make the cake...

Beat the egg yolk until creamy...

Put aside, beat the egg white until stiff, add the sugar gradually....

After that, mixed the egg yolk & egg white together, plus the dry mixture ( flour + cocoa powder)..

Last, transferred  to the pan and bake in preheat oven with 200 deg C for 10 minutes...

 

Everything done, waiting my cake to be ready...

" Ding", oven ringed..

Excited... Cool down the cake, then spread the cream frosting and i'm gonna rolled it..

 

 

Oops!!! The cake cracked while I roll it and it become like this.

 

I guess i'm adding too much flour...
Ok.. declare 1st attempt failed!
