5. Cooking (agar-agar, jelly, tong shui..)

ONce is Not eNuF’’

Absolutely agreed with Lap that baking is a healthy activity, thus 5 days after the 2nd cakey day, we decided to have the third round. Our lenglui C.I.R.C.L.E member, Ms Tan Kee San was joining us to make sheperd’s pie, lotus pau and jelly moon-cake.

Sometimes, we can just do things follow our feeling.

Simply just added in all the ingredients according to my own measurement. Haha”

Nice to see, nice to touch and nice to eat.

Oh no...I totally felt in love with the Pie. CheeZzeee’’

Used up half packet of 3kg lotus paste to make all of these.

Did some Touch up for the pau.

Hihi, Cutie”

Let’s toast, girls.

The scenting cheesy pie brought him here.

Lap said sometimes things need to be urged then will come out with some instant decision. The Singapore trip plan was a good example.

Singapore trip discussion.

Photo-capturing session.

Piano-playing moment.

Sometimes, we can have our meal without following the exact sequence. Begun with the main course before we ended up with starter and dessert.

Food Indulgence.

Notes: Specially thanks to Lydia, Kakak and Lydia's mummy. Had great fun with the baking activity. Thanks to all lenglui''s..

This time was Lap’s turn who requested to re-bake the cheesecake as he wished to learn and make it for his family. Again, we gathered at Lydia’s house. Besides baking cheesecake, Lydia also shared another great recipe with us, the moist chocolate cake, meanwhile I, the one who always come out with some awesome ideas, suggested to make moon-cakes. After discussing with Lydia and Lin hui, we decided to make both crystal skin moon-cake and jelly moon-cake.

He intended to become the new X-generation House-man.

See he was concentrating in separating the egg yolks.

Personally, i think he passed the test.

These were the usual procedures for baking..

Measuring.

Mixing.

Folding.

A great effort to take out the crystal skin moon-cake from the mould..

Don’t misunderstand.

She wasn’t hitting cockroach.

Phew~

After trying many times, finally we got one which was nicer in shape.

Below were our products of the today..

Blissful chocolate topping.

Err..for the base, its texture supposed to be spongy but ended up like Malay kuih.

Probably because we boiled the chocolate for too long.

Less spongy compared to the one we made yesterday.
Probably because of the difference shown in the texture of beaten egg white foam.


Don’t be cheated with their appearance.
The jelly moon-cakes in fact were a bit flabby.
Added in too much water.

The cake was too delightful to be resisted by him.

These were our take-away.

Jin's cutie stuffs..

Notes: Again, specially thanks to Lap and Lin Hui for being my driver.

Suddenly felt that want to eat the Japanese cottony cheesecake mentioned by Lydia before, thus suggested to Lydia to have a small gathering at her house, at the sametime bake the cheesecake which I craved for long time ago.

Simple steps..

Tang La~~ Here is the cheesecake. Yummy’’

While waiting for the cheesecake to be baked..

Let's listen to some string music.

A big a applause to our exclusively guitarist, Mr SamueL.

He was so Yeng”

Sure won’t miss out the photo-capturing session.

Again, one shot wasn’t enough for this C.I.R.C.L.E gang.

The phrase “Cheese = Fattening” was played in Lin Hui’s thought. So, besides doing baking, we went for exercising to burn up the extra calories.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Another precious activity we had was meeting up with Francis, the super busy future doctor who is 500 km further away from us at Kelantan. Lap ordered us some nice dishes, including sweet sour pork, steamed bean curd, Asam fish and “three big super stars” vege.

YiPPie"

Notes: Thanks Lap for being my driver of de day.
