Cempedak Butter Cake

hello people! I'm here for a short update about Cempedak butter cake because I was lucky that one customers of mine brought three Cempedak for me this morning! thought of baking a cake for him and so i googled! I remembered that saw its recipe before and so I finished up my jobs and left office earlier today.

got home at 1 and started to make noises in kitchen! heh. first time ever that i tried to cut a Cempedak! :) 

 this is how Cempedak looks like! its aroma beats everything! hah. 

i doubled the portion of cempedak in the ingredient list. I'm not quite sure if it is because i added too much of Cempedak or different mould i used so it turned out moist and tender but spongy? anyway its my first time baking butter cake. I shall keep on trying to find out why! heh. 

recipe adapted from here.

thank people for sharing recipe! :)

going off then! night, pals! xo#

Taiwan trip 2014 II

heya people! I'm here to continue the second part of my Taiwanese trip. it is all about Yilan and I really like Yilan though it is just a village with paddy fields around! why? because I feel home when i was there. i don't like to stay in hectic city and so i chose Alor Setar a few years ago and peaceful life is what i was looking for! heh. 

we stayed in 昀居. 昀居 is a homestay which is located in 礁溪! 

 me too found a kawan in 昀居! love teddy and so a friend of mine called me a girl. too childish he said! lol

went to 罗东夜市. had lots of 小吃 which Sunny recommended!

臭薯条！ it is stinky tofu in french fries look! not stinky when we had it. thank Sunny for sharing this with me. heh. 

 葱多包！ well this is nice! 陷料饱满 but then I prefer 柯氏葱油饼for no special reason! if you ever go Taiwan then you have to tell your tour guide to bring you there for 葱油饼！truly yumms and all the aunties love it too!

 照烧皮蛋！i like century eggs very much though i seldom eat that. they fried the century eggs and serve it with minced garlic, cucumber and special sauce. it was nice but then it was too salty for me! taste better if it taste less salty! :) Sunny's recommendation too.

小春小卜肉！special texture that i never had it in Malaysia! glad i tried it.

the homestay too prepared great breakfast for us! typical Taiwanese homemade breakfast!

 love the porridge the taukeh soh cooked with sweet potatoes and pork floss with toasted seaweed and sesame! coffee was good too because it was not bitter even though i didn't add in creamer and sugar! heh.

Sunny too fetched us to 南方澳观景台 too watch the sea! it was really nice that it is a must-go place if you ever go to Yilan.

we too went to 苏澳港 for Taiwanese seafood. bought a box of sashimi with Salmon and Tuna which only cost me RM10.

Sashimi was yums. give it a try if you ever go to 苏澳港too!

trip organiser was good! tour guide was good too with all the good recommendation and not rushing us to go for meals and starved with us! lol. feel free to contact Sunny if you are looking for a good tour guide with good service. you can contact him through email or his whatsapp, +886927629638

after all then i need to go back to my bed again! heh.

will be back for Taiwanese trip update ASAP. stay tuned.

night, pals! xo#
