Also... .went for a friend's wedding..my primary school mate! what a surprise.. ..receive her invitation one week before the actual day.. ..will upload the photos later.. ..the wedding was more like a gathering...haha haven't see each other for a long time. ..thus ended up chatting nonstop and neglect the bride! also see one of my primary school friend in my gym! she went for aquafit.. ..which is the claz i frequent most.. ..what a concidence..ha ha and because of me..my instructor get to know her..n keeps calling her "primary school friend"!!

And talking of gym.. .. hmm..let just say that the frenzs u know there might not be ur actual frenz..they might have ulterior motive in getting to know u better or hang out with u.. .. I noticed my clique of frenzs at gym is getting bigger and bigger..there seem to be more gals hanging out with me.. ...and seem to be asking me the same Q over and over agin...hmm ..getting a bit fed up...but keeps cool and just ignore it.. ..

okie an update!!

My pineapple tart making venture is offically a DIASTER!!! haha.. ... the tart does not taste at all remotely like pineapple tart according to my family members who helpfully tasted my tarts...
First complain - pineapple jam was too soft!
2nd up - Tart was tasteless.. ...
3rd complaint - Tart was too crumbly
4th complaint - the tart and jam does not go well!!!

Argh.. who could guess it was so hard to make a simple tart...now i know why this delicacy is priced so expensive.. . .

So to regroup... ..i need to cook my jam a bit longer (well..make it really much longer).... add salt to my tart base.. ..less butter maybe

So wish me luck ya! one time failure does not make me a failure! hee hee .. ....

okie...first post of the new year! though it comes a bit late..i still manage to upload it in Jan.

..let see...this year, I decide to forgo all resolutions..haha what the point of making promises when I know I will not be able to keep it...
Decide to do more baking.. .(hmm is that a resolution?? haha)

Let see what I have been up to.. .. .
I made Ondeh Ondeh.. ...the traditionally type kind...with mashed sweet poatates and pure gula melaka filling. ..oh man...a small simple ball.. ..but the making not as simple as it looks! I have to steam the sweet potatoes..mashed it.. .combined with flour and other ingredients to make it into a dough.. ..then chop the gula melaka into small pieces and finally rolled into a ball....then it down into a pot of boiling water and then rolling it around steamed coconut shreds...before we get to eat the humble ondeh ondeh!
Think I do not have to go gym to tone up my arms..haha just have to mash the sweet pototaes everyday.. my arms ache...

Next item on the baking sheet!
Pineapple tarts! Since I learn how to bake, I have been baking only western goodies...decide maybe it time I try to learn how to make CNY goodies...hee..so decide to tackle the most popular item...PINEAPPLE TARTS..
now been told that it is not easy to make a good pineapple tarts...and that the texture should be crumbly, melt in your mouth and the pineapple jam has to be fragrant yet not overpowering and not to sweet either...hmmm for someone who do not eat pineapple tart...this gonna be a huge task! haha ......people were asking..if you never taste pineapple tart before..how are you gonna make it.. .never fear! I have lot of samplers at home...haha...mi parents are gonna be my guinea pigs...
And also found out that my favourite CNY goodies is known as Kueh Bohlu! I always describe it as the "soft, spongy base ball looking thingy ... " haha..which left a lot of people scratching their head in confusion...
I wanna try making that too....but first of all..will need to get hold of the mould.. ..

Wil upload photos ASAP...getting a bit lazy with uploading the photos...
