Pai Thong Koh
Most pai Thong Koh recipe are tedious... some take as much as 3 days jsu to make the mixture... saw this and did it.. not too bad... so Im Posting this very easy Pak Thong Go recipe I extracted off the web some time ago. I modify it a little. Anyway its a simple recipe..but not easy to get that holey stuff.. Happy trying
Ingredients:
PArt a)
175g sieved rice flour
140g sugar
360ml water
Part b)
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tbsp warm water
Method:
1. Mix (B) and leave aside till foamy (about 10 mins).
2. Mix (A) well and cook over slow heat (About 5 minutes) Keep stirring otherwise the mixture will get burnt and have sago pearls forming). Sieve this mixture into a big mixing bowl and cooled it.
3. Mix (part 1) and (part 2) together and mixwell. Cover the mixture and prove in a warm place for 1 1/2hours. When bubbles appear all over the surface then it is ready for steaming. Do not over fermet as it will result in sourish taste.
4. Pour the ready batter into a square greased pan (about 10inch)and steam for 20 minutes.
5. Cut into triangle pieces when cool.
Note* if u want the very authentic kind, I guess u can onli try ur hands on the complicated ones... but not worth the effort since its easily available in the market. I hope I go tthe guts to try those 3 days fermentation one...

Pai Thong Go
This is my all time favourites.. sicne I was young.. I remember my sisters and I can eat loads at 1 go.. and it cost almsot like 70cent per piece.. freaking ex...
I remember the 1st time I attempted this, was when I was in Sweden..craving badly. and the flour cost a bomb.. and yetI failed... Just now as I was telling dear im doing this over the phone.. he said: Can do one meh? haha that why i bet Dear cant remember I attempted that in karlskrona haha... I never tried it again there as I cant bear to part with my porecious flour for more failure.
well here it is
the texture is not fantastic still,but better than alst itme lar haha..a nd no sourish taste.. some shops the sell this taste sour as they over ferment the mixture.
I will let Kelvin try this since Im meeting him for dinner and and ask him for opinion.. =)
Im so happy.......
Xmas Glogg
I never heard of glogg until 4 years ago.. of cos 4 yr ago.. I was in Sweden. They have many kind of gloggs.. from glogg for children(non alcoholic) to those with high alcohol content. It taste like wine... can be white wine or red wine used to make glogg. Many glogg have spices like cinnamon, nutmeg added to it.. oh ya.. raisins too. Its normaly heat up by the glogg holder and drink with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder on top... drank on the cold xmas night. In supermart, there will be people letting us sample various glogg... In Singapore, the only place you can find glogg is probably Ikea? Its a either like it or not kind of drink.
At the crystal factory, we even bought a glogg holder. Thinking come back here we can do it ourselves. Here is our glogg holder
A green one for the xmas season.
But too bad.. past 2 xmas i been too lazy to make any.. so it been sitting lonely in the cupboard... even ready glogg off the shelf of Ikea have not motivated me.. I hope this year I wil since we got a car now..easier to go Ikea and its only 5 mins away fr my house.
My Swedish friend Elisabeth kindly shared few of her glogg recipes with me.. I certainly hope I can do it soon =)

Red Bean Mousse with green tea Sponge cake
My fastest cake ever... Rush like MAD... took me less than 4 hours to do everything... Sponge is green tea sponge.. and mousse with red bean... something diff..
The happy birthday.. I painstakingly print from Pc then cut 1 by 1 and stick them ont he cake before dusting with powder.. phew... and lazy girl me.. cos no time to pipe for the decor.. end up with all the sponge finger on the side hehe
And who is this cake for??
Its Dear's Birthday! so its for him of cos!
Cut the cake just now with our family... this is the cross section view
Very good review bout htis cake.. even my mum who dun take green tea like this.. and people who dont like red bean love this too. not sweet.. I think the green tea powder as topping helps in balancing the sweetness.
Mango Mousse Logcake
For my polymate gathering tomorrow.. I did a chocolate swiss roll with Mango mousse filling...
And since im afraid of the sickenign feeling of too much cream on my cake.. I turn the cream to Mango Mousse as well for the frosting...
Purposely made a choclate sponge with white frosting.. since log are brown..while snow are white.. so at least still can see 'traces' of log amist the snow..
Well, no Santa, no reindeer and no epressie yet.. since Santa and company is still busy up north in Lappland.. wrapping pressie for all the wonderful kids...

Its my 1st time.. BIG risk for my friends bday manz... but I did it.. thou the cream was veryhard to settle... but it does taste liek orh ni alright
Was rushing through this Yam cake for my friend Birthday... I risked doing this cake.. mainly because i do not know what flavour does this friend like for a cake.. and I remember she loves my Orh Ni.. and so I did this.. it sure taste like the orhni.. just not as thick... since there is a little cream in it... Very diff to make a smooth surface.. .I tried very hard fort his cake.. considering Im very tired today hehe..
