Scotch Eggs (Recipe by Cooking with Dog)

If my hubby sees an interesting cooking video on youtube he will share it with me. Just the other day he showed me a video on how to make scotch eggs by Cooking With Dog. If you haven't heard already, CWD is a popular Japanese cuisine cooking show on youtube hosted by a grey talking poodle, Francis. He sits on the table next to the portable stove and narrate the cooking instructions in a funny but adorable accent. All the cooking is done by a pleasant looking Japanese lady known as Chef.

I've tried the dorayaki recipe from Cooking With Dog and it was a flop so I was a bit skeptical when it came to trying another recipe by them. But the scotch eggs look so good and I just had to have a go at it. If the recipe is good then it would be a keeper, if it's not then the eggs will end up in the bin. What's the worst that could happen, right?

Merdeka Weekend Baking - Kuih Bahulu

Oh my gosh!

I don't know where to start with this Kuih Bahulu. It was a disaster getting them out of the mould. I don't know what went wrong. The moulds were heated properly and greased with loads of cooking oil but they were so stubborn!

In the end, I turned over the mould like how you would with chiffon cake to remove the cakes. The last four cakes came out fine. However, the second time I made this I turned over the mould but faced the same freaking problem.

Merdeka Weekend Baking - Spiral Curry Puff a.k.a Karipap

On the second day of the long Merdeka weekend, I made chicken curry puff. This curry puff is no ordinary curry puff because it has a flakier and crispier pastry than the normal curry puff. If you love Homi curry puff then you'll love this. It's like homemade Homi curry puff, healthier and less oily. Mind you, these are good enough reasons to make your own curry puffs and your heart will thank you for it!

I found this recipe from a Nyonya kuih cookbook by Ricky Ng but I've altered it here and there. I didn't know spiral curry puff is Peranakan cuisine. Any idea, anyone?

Rum & Raisin Mousse Cake

First off, the mousse recipe which I used for this cake was not a mousse recipe for cake. It is meant to be eaten from a cup which is why the mousse looks a bit runny. The reason why I used this mousse recipe is because I wanted to finish the leftover egg whites from Ms Beranbaum's cream cheese butter cake. The mousse was kind of rough but it tastes good.

Super Simple to Make Cute Breakfast

This post is inspired by Aum Napat who owns Napat Closet in Chatuchak Market. I just love her short cooking videos and I wanted to make cute and fun food for breakfast after seeing all the lovely treats from her. After Googling I found these ideas.

First is Banana Peanut Butter Bear Toast

These are super fun and simple to do. All you need are two slices of bread, peanut butter, a banana and 6 chocolate chips/ raisins.

The steps, I think, are self-explanatory.
