snowflake @ SS15 Subang Jaya


this is one of my favourite place for ice desserts. esp on a hot day. and its so near my house. only problem is parking cos its near all the colleges >.<

Snowflake.
No.61A, First Floor,
Jalan SS15/8A,
47500 Subang Jaya



this is their bestseller (rm 5,50)
no surprises why. its so good. if you can't decide, just order this:)
springy taro balls on grass jelly on shaved ice so fine.
its served with creamer. so can decide how much you wanna put in it.
oh gosh, i'm craving for it now!!!

and the most unique thing ever, BEEPING UFO. you see, after you place your order at the counter and pay, they will give u this...gadget. when your order is ready..


it will light up and vibrate!!! so cute rite.
then you go to the counter and collect you order. so ingenious!! haha
and its "made in taiwan!" hahah

these ice desserts are really a big thing in taiwan.you can find it almost anywhere! i even had a few bowls during my taiwan trip..but it was quite different



its a small shop, almost always packed with people, mostly college students. it can get pretty crowded and the queue can get very long! but service is quite fast.

they have many things on their menu, several "series" like soya ice series and toppings that you can mix and match to suit your preference.
aside from that, they have hot drinks and other snacks too.
they have a reward system too. buy 5, free one drink. 10, free one dessert :D
I'm a loyal customer. 3 more to a free dessert! haha

meng kee char siew in Glenmarie Shah Alam

I'm trying to clear out all the food posts. new places that i have explored but never got the time to blog about..

Meng Kee Char Siu
20 (Ground), Jalan Pekedai U1/36
Hicom Glenmarie Industrial Park
Shah Alam
Tel No: 019 - 379 3629


they serve noodles like wantan mee until 11am. after that is just rice


funny sign. no FRUITS. don't know if they actually mean FRUITS. but i think its FOOD. they don't even sell fruits here. LOL


nice fragrant rice!

roasted chicken. yummy and tender and juicy

and the best one of all. nice meaty char siew. slightly different from seremban favourites (another favourite haunt for good char siew) its more firm and provides a good bite. and not too charred either. with the right amount of sweetness. just wonderful ^_^
check out masak masak's blog as well!



black forest cupcakes

2nd baking project post exams :D
(first was blueberry cheese tarts which i have already blogged about!)

one of my favourite cakes aside from chocolate is black forest, so when i came across a recipe for black forest cupcake, i marked it as a "must must try" recipe.

ingredients:
(A)
275g all purpose flour
10g baking powder
2g baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
pinch of salt
20g cocoa powder
(B)
20g chocolate paste/ emulco
2 eggs
10g vanilla
200ml milk
100g whipping cream
100g sugar (as usual, i used only half, 50g)
(C)
200g melted chocolate (use GOOD quility chocolate!)
100g melted butter
(D)
dark pitted cherries (syrup drained)
chocolate chunks

method:
1. sift (A)
2. combine (B) and fold it into (A)
3. Add (C) and combine thoroughly
4. spoon mixture into greased/ limed muffin trays
5.place chocolate chunks and pitted cherries on top
6. bake in preheated oven at 200 celcius for 20-25 minutes
7. decorate as desired

*its very hard to measure 10g and 2g!!! so i just made a rough estimate. try using a smaller scale weighing machine which i don't have..
**i think its better to place choc chunks and pitted cherries in between the bater, not on top cos it will come out very messy! and not too presentable! >.<

all the ingredients!


slowly fold the wet and dry ingredients

and as always, i recommend carefour dark cooking chocolate!
look at the yummy sinful glossy melted chocolate!! pop in into the microwave on high for about 1 minute




arghhh. and the whipping cream just would not RISE. argh, it was supposed to be poofy and light for the deco. after 10 minutes on high speed it was still FLAT. argh. but i was still determined to get a pretty shot of my masterpiece. this is the best i could do. hmm. not too bad i guess.


its a great recipe. the sourness of the cherries (despite the name on the can..pitted sweet cherries0 goes well with the rich dark chocolate chunks. the cake is soft and spongy. the whipped cream goes well with it too.

this is actually my third time here but never got to blogging about it

Restoran Malaysia (near Metro Inn)

43000 Kajang, Selangor

(check out lyrical lemongrass's post~!)

we ordered two noodle dish. this is the hailam noodles.
and the war tan ho. not bad la. but nothing special.....

cos their speciality lies in the SATAY!!! they have chicken, beef, mutton, fish and duck!
but i only eat chicken. and fish. not very adventurous eh.
the satay..hmm..its really good. nice lean chicken meat. no bits of fat that i often find myself picking out and discarding it. and its too burnt also. well, except for one stick that was half charred...
and the yummy yummy thick fragrant peanut sauce topped with sambal. this is the best!!!



so restoran malaysia is the place to go for the FAMOUS KAJANG SATAY!!!
