Pulot Hitam Kaya Kueh

Today is another Kueh making session for us because mum is coming over for a visit so I decide to something for afternoon tea.  This kueh that I made today is called Pulot Hitam Kaya; the bottom layer is made with combination of Pulot Hitam (Black Glutinous Rice) and White Glutinous Rice.

Fishball and Chinese Cabbage Soup

These few days, I am so tired and lazy to cook anything and I actually intends get some roast duck rice for today's dinner. But since it started to drizzle in the evening and it's quite troublesome to bring my kid along I decided to cook a simple vegetable soup to go with rice. So with whatever I can find in the freezer I come out with this all in one soup with "fishball, crabstick, tofu, minced pork and Chinese cabbage".

Steam Tapioca Cake

Recently I have the urge on making all kinds of Local Kueh. And for this post I will be sharing the recipe for this Steam Tapioca Cake which I made for mum gathering with friends. The main ingredients for this kueh is Tapioca and coconut milk as well as coconut sugar (gula melaka).

Barley, Ginkgo Nut & Beancurd Soup

These few days the weather was pretty hot and humid so it is best to drink more water, soup or even a bowl of cooling dessert. This afternoon I prepared mum’s favourite dessert which is the “Barley, Ginkgo Nut & Bean Curd Soup (白果,薏米和腐竹)”. This is a famous Cantonese dessert which is usually taken by pregnant lady because there is myth saying that those mum-to-be who drinks this will help the unborn baby to have a fairer skin. And in order to the creamy version, you need to get hold of the correct type of dessert bean curd sheet too.
