desserts @ MOF Japanese Sweets

its indulgence weekend!
last night was dinner at my elephant, fantastic thai food (to be posted up later)

and this post is all about desserts. gelato...ice cream..and more

MOF Japanese Sweets & Coffee,
Lot 1.02.00, Level 1, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur,
168, Bukit Bintang,55100
Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA.
(its at the food level. near Mercato supermarket)


let me present to you all the delectable goodies!!

first is the "moffels" (MOF waffle) (RM 3) which comes in a variety of flavours. this is triple kick! white chocolate, green tea and chocolate cream. yummy combination. crispy and hot! the only thing thing to complain is its teeny size! its so small!!! just a few bites and....*poof*

this is the strawberry sundae (RM15) which is very very delicious! it also comes in mango, matcha, sesame, peach and other flavours. Its actually made of jelly, strawberry gelato (which has REAL strawberry taste) and soft serve ice cream which was soft and super creamy. really good!!

this is one of the chef's speciality. Macha Zen (RM13.50)

Red bean paste, japanese dumpling (like tang yuen) and a scoop of macha ice cream. all the ingredients go together very well. The slight bitterness of the ice cream is balanced out by the sweet red bean paste.

Last item is the chocolate chip almond coffee(RM10) topped with whipped cream, generous almond sprinkles and chocolate chips. its too bitter for me. don't really fancy coffee anyway.

overall, this is a great place to enjoy desserts. and the special thing is that its different from other ice cream parlour, offering so may unique and interesting desserts.

dinner @ 6 to 10 grill, happy mansion section 17

A quick food review...
We were supposed to go to My elephant for some yummy fiery THAI FOOD...
but it was so packed and we probably had to wait 30 minutes before getting a seat...so we decided to adjourn to another place just at the opposite block
(and make reservation for dinner at My elephant next week!!)

6 to 10 Grill & Nasi Lemak
BG-1, Block B,
Happy Mansion
Jalan 17/13
Petaling Jaya
Tel No: 03 - 7955 4993
(Open from 12.00 to 2.30 and 6.00 to 10.30 from Wednesdays to Sundays only. Non-halal)


the place was quite packed, mostly with families and young people. parking was quite difficult, didn't know this was such a happening place. LOL. there are three good places to eat here, 6 to 1o grill, Food foundry and my elephant (yet to try!) the people staying in the flats above are so lucky.

simple, no frills place

so this is what my sister ordered...feeling a little adventurous she ordered N/Z sirloin steak (RM 19.90) medium rare. It was served with fries, baked beans and some egg thingy. i took a small piece..hmmm..i don't think i can appreciate steaks. taste weird and had a lingering blood taste. so not my cup to tea...

i was feeling quite sick of chicken, so i went for grilled fish with lemon butter sauce (RN 12.50) was quite good. the sauce was nice and fish was yummy as well.

my father had nasi lemak with curry chicken (RM7) not bad, sambal was good and curry chicken tasted like my mum's cooking.

and for dessert! banana fritters with ice cream (choice of chocolate, vanilla or strawberry) RM5.50

ooo. this is LOVELY. a total contrast of texture and temperature. crisp batter coating the soft banana. Hot fritters with the sweet cold ice cream. Absolutely wonderful ^_^

Service was quite fast despite the large crowd and food was OK and prices were reasonable. worth another visit :D

a belated birthday....

just a very short post...
we went to celebrate Ze Wee's birthday last wednesday...eventhough his birthday was TWO WEEKS ago -_-"Wai Teng, Ambiga and I. before we left. was discussing our TBL before that...

the place we went to was Hawaii Steak House...which I suggested but I've never been there myself...anyway..this place is nothing to shout about...quite ordinary, something like salmon steak in subang, for those of you who are familiar...so too lazy to write a food review. haih, quite dissapointing as their menu looked so promising!!! and the service is not too good. we asked them to keep the cake and bring it out later. so after dinner, they just plonked the whole the cake still in the box in the plastic bag on the table. so horrible. >.<

weekend baking project- japanese light cheesecake

here is a recipe for japanase light cheesecake, my first attempt:) with a series of unfortunate mistakes as well.

ingredients:

for the base

1 slice sponge cake (about 1cm thick)

*i used the ready mix sponge mix that can be bought from the ingredient shops and baked half the portion (250g of pre mix) according to the instructions. usually you'll need to add eggs, water and butter*

(A)

400ml fresh milk

250g cream cheese

60 gram plain flour, sifted

(B)

5 egg yolks

20ml lemon juice

(C)

5 egg whites

100g caster sugar

STEP1:

preheat oven to 180 Celcius. line a 8 inch pan, or use a spring form pan (which i think its much easier) and place the prepared sponge cake.

STEP2

double boil (i.e heat water in a kuali and place a metal bowl inside the kuali containg the ingredients) the fresh milk and cream cheese until dissolved (cream cheese should be room temperature and cut into smaller pieces so that it melts easily) add plain flour, stir and cook until mixture has thickenes. remove from heat and let it cool. Add (B) and mix well

(ok, i made 2 mistakes here...first i measured the flour wrongly, i used 90g instead of 60g! argh! and i did not sift it! so once it put the flour in the mixture it became all lumpy and chunky. uh-oh...)

STEP3

whisk (C) at high speed until soft peaks form. slowly mix in into the mixture from step 2

(mistake no.3.....my egg whites were contamianted. haih, dunno why but my egg seperation skills suxed that time. the egg whites must have NO traced of yolk so that the soft peaks can form -_-")

STEP4

strain the cheese mixture (using a sieve) on top of the sponge cake

STEP5

Steam bake (i.e take a larger pan, fill it with water and immerse the baking pan into the water. if using a springform pan, wrap it with aluminiun foil so the water won't seep in) the cake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes then reduce the temperature to 140 degrees and bake for another 1 hour and 45 minutes

STEP6

leave cake to cool in oven with door ajar for 1 hour (to avoid cracks in cake) chill in the frige at least for 4 hours before serving

(my cake HAD A CRACK! ARGHHHH~!)

baking the sponge cake. if its too thick then have to slice it, something which i'm not good at. i made a mess on the table at the process and my base was very uneven >.<

the extremely lumpy batter

soft peaks that will never form :(
mix it alltogether...

ready to go into the oven! keeping fingers crossed hoping it will turn out ok despite all the blunders

chilled and ready to be served!

remove from pan and cut into slices to be served..

the final product. and the verdict???

this is a fool-proof recipe!! hahah. it actually tastes good. light and fluffy and spongy. chesse taste is not over-powering with a hint of lemon taste(the only type of cheesecake mummy will eat.lol) very yummy even if i say so myself :)

dinner @ Teow Chew Meng

Had dinner on a rainy sunday night at this restaurant, recommended by my parents who have tried here once without my sister and I..

Mee sua tow. RM11.00 for one serving

The mee sua was like eating sharksfin soup :) its smooth starchy and the mee sua is nice and silky. its packed with lots of seafood, fish, crab stick etc.

this is the seafood roll (rm10 for small portion, RM15 for large)

its something like lobak. its crispy and yummy. the special chili dip is good too

octopus (rm10 for small, rm15 for big portion)

this dish is quite interesting, the octopus is boiled..its is springy and very nice to bite :) served with chili dip and peanuts.

and for dessert, yam paste. the serving is super tiny. one scoop for one person -_-

its soft, smooth and slightly sweetened.

all in all its quite a nice place to dine although prices are a little steep, but after all its seafood :D
