Creme Caramel, Avsolut Style

Who doesn like the classic dessert, Creme Caramel? Well maybe there's a lot. cuz they not only like em, but LOVE em! hihi

I learned this particular recipe from my bro, he's a creme caramel addict. he goes to CCA (creme caramel anon) lol jk~ nways, i loooove his version of it! here we go!

velvety creme part:

1 can of evaporated milk

1/2 can of water

1/2 can of milk

4 med eggs or 5 small ones

scrapes of vanilla beans

1/4 c sugar (depends how you want the sweetness level to be)

sweet caramel part:

3/4 c sugar

1/4 c water

Caramel

1) Heat the sugar and water in a non-stick pan (like most ppl, i use teflon!)

2) Dunt be tempted to stir~ hihi let em boil and change into caramel color.

3) Pour into plastic cups.

Creme

1) Break the eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk em till they're near fluffy. ;')

2) Add the evap milk, water and milk all together. Mix well.

3) Then mix together the vanilla beans and sugar in the egg mixture.

4) I usually heat the mixture in a pot, to dissolve the sugar. *Be careful not to boil!

5) If your mixture is lumpy, its ok, you can seive it ;')

6) Then you can pour the creme mixture into each individual plastic cup, filled w caramel previously.

7) Pop em in a steamer, around 12-15mins, it'll be cooked! * Do not over cook, as they will not come out as velvety~

8) Let cool and chill in the fridge til its tyme to eat! ;'D

Voila

ENJOY! tell me how you guys go with this easy recipe!

till next tyme,

love yall

Banoffee Pie, Avsolut Style

Banana + Toffee Pie! how yummier can it be?? argh! i love em! hihi so ive been having queries on how did i make my banoffee pies.. now i want to make a post to answer it! later, i'll just direct them to my blog! ;')

For the Biscuit Base:

100g butter, melted

250g Marie biscuits, crushed

1/4 c icing sugar

Toffee:

100g butter

1 can of condensed milk

Topping:

3-4 bananas

400ml whipping cream, (i used emborg)

*use an 8" loose-bottomed cake tin, greased.

1) Crush the biscuits in a food processor for a fast result. or if you dunt hev one, jus place them in a plastic bag, n crush them with a rolling pin ;') quite similar result, only extra effort needed.

Then mix the crushed bickies with melted butter. and add the icing sugar. mix well! Line em in the cake tin, and chill while we start with the toffee!

Most recipes dunt add sugar in their base bickies. but i opted the sugar in the toffee part so i add em in the base bickies.

2) Use a non-stick pan with high walls, melt the butter. Then add the condensed milk into the melted butter. Must continue stirring until it boils, (my first tyme: i was afraid of cookin d milk too long, the result was eeky, it still tasted like condensed milk which was not nice). So once its boiling, pour em over the base bickies! *be careful! they're REALLY HOT! Cool, and chill in the fridge till it sets.

3) If you have tyme, do the topping part right before you serve. Cuz you dunt wanna brown the bananas ( n i dunt like d taste when bananas mixed w lemon juice to counter the browning effect). So, for the topping: whip the cream til it forms soft whipped creams. *rmb, soft whipped is better than d stiff ones for this recipe! Then slice half of the bananas, and fold em into the whipped cream. Then spoon the mixture onto the toffee filling. Dust cocoa powder for further deco :'P lastly, slice the remaining bananas, and arrange em on the top as decorations.

and you're done! *yay hope you 'll hev fun making this easy peasy, but yummy dessert! n tell me how it goes k?

Voila!

till then,

love yall

W.O.T.D Druther

defn; one's preference in a matter

sigh! Facebook is down. So i'm to do this. :'P been AGES since i last updated this. tihi.

Resto life hev been real hectic, with employees running away, problems w immigration, haih macam2.. with the slump in economic; resulting much slower flow of custos here. Dwn..

Bt one random thing is, a lot of cats come here to eat :'D all of them are cute! hihi we gave them names too!

Here's Emdee (MD) short for Mamadeedee :'D he's our frequent diner-cat

hihi dpt jg pic w his face! Here is Emdee, the dominant male cat here at the resto :')

Now, this is Stoo. short for stoopid (unfortunately).

notice the red collar, yes, she was a house-cat.. lost, without a loving owner to turn to. But now, jeng jeng jeng, she has us! Now Stoo is a resto-cat! :'D eating whiskas every 20mins. -_-" n all these fotos giving d impression that she is a lazy cat.... hihi

there are others, like BC (black cat), Socky, Socks, and Hoyyo (one-tyme cat). I hevn got d chance to snap fotos of em.. so til then.

Ok, apart from these resto cats, why not i show u other cats that i see almost everyday! :'D

Introducing~ Pika (short for Nurul Syafikaruddin)

__________ NO PICTURES YET_____________

Pika has been with us for 8 years now. we got her since she was a kitten. her mom, Roti, was my sister's cat. which she had when she was living in college dorm. Roti is named after her fave food, which is roti. :'P she likes to curi one sock bundle and sleep while hugging it. Pika doesn hev that weird gen in her. hihi and i cant remember why la we gave the name Nurul Syafikaruddin to her. hihi bt doesn seem to mind :'D

and the newest addition to the family, Roofy Myvi. how we got him was a random story! eek! so ok, i was on my way bak home frm work. at tol kajang, i noticed a white Myvi w fluorescent headlights ( i tot that it was a poyo-looking car :'P) n i didn give much thought bout it, and let him pass me. at the traffic lights i got a chance to catch up w him. and thats when i saw poo lil Roofy up on his roof. :'( he was mewing frantically! god! i was SO shocked la.. the i flashed and flashed, giving signals for him to stop at the side of the road. no surprise, the driver was a bit scared of my acts.. he slowed dwn his car and pulled over in front of a shoplot where there was a few ppl. ( takut i wanted to whack him kot :'P) the i rolled dwn my window n shouted, "ada kucen atas tu!" pointing at the back of the car. he was totally blur la, n replied "HA??" then i shouted louder n the ppl ard us followed my finger point. and was dumb-founded when they saw what i saw. poor kitty, imagine the lil kitty's agony of hanging on the roof of a car while it was speeding at at least 60km/h! thank god lil Roofy didn fall dwn. the driver of d white myvi didn want that kitten and wanted to throw him to the roadside. eeek! god forbid im gonna let that happen :'O so i took d poor kitten home. Home to my disapproving mother.. :'P hihi after much pleading and deal making, i got to keep lil Roofy. now, my family members are falling in love with him crazy antics of jumping and playing ard w himself. LOL. i shall record a vid and get it on here if i cud. hihi
