Assorted Western Breakfast 2

Assorted Western Breakfast 2

To some, it is fattening but to some, it is delicious.

How? Just dig in and then worry about it later...he he he.

Cook this for our breakfast especially my son before he rush to his

weekend class.  Yeap! what a boring life for him cause he has been

attending weekend classes since last six months ago.  This is his 2nd 

year Bachelor of LLB.  Told him that if he passed this 2nd year,

we will ship him to UK for his final year.

I had two of the above and till now, I am still full (will be skipping

my lunch), if not, my belly will be become larger by the inch.

Some Sausages / Some Butter / Some Sausage Buns

Few slices of Cheddar Cheese

Heat up the pan with cooking oil or butter and pan fry the sausages

until cook.  Once done, keep at one side.

Split the buns into half and butter both side.

With the same pan, pan fry the sausage buns for 1 or 2 minutes.

Look like this.

Keep the cooked sausages and buns at one side.

Fry the Hash Brown until done.  Once done, keep at one side.

Take one sausage bun and spread with tomato ketchup

or chilli sauce, then put in one sausage and some slices of cheddar cheese.

Close it and then dig in together with the crispy hash brown.

My son and husband spread their buns with the Kraft Easy Cheese Cheddar spread.

Fattening, Fattening but Simply Delicious.

Ginseng Drink

Ginseng Drink

Need to post as many recipes as possible before middle of next week because

we'll be going to Hatyai, Thailand for a short holiday.

My husband manage to secure 4 flight seats with "zero fare", 

how lucky we are.  My two kids said, "Hatyai" again!

Told them we are going there to makan (eat) and rest only since

the flight is "zero fare".

Sharing this simple herbal "Ginseng" drink with you.

My age is catching up to late 40's and I have some bad experience

while having my menstrual.  For the past few months, 

I notice that during my menstrual, I feel my pelvic area is very uncomfortable.

My husband told me to drink more Ginseng since his friend from 

Canada bought a lot for us.  I have been boiling this drink 

every alternate day for the past two weeks and I can assure you that it works.  

There is no uncomfortable feeling during my this month menstrual. 

So, you gals out there, if you are having the same problem like me, 

do boil it for yourself.

6 pieces of Ginseng.

Wash and soak with hot water for 1 minute.

Place the Ginseng into a double boiler and pour in 1 liter of hot water.

Turn the switch to High and boil for 4 hours and

then turn to Low and boil for another 2 hours.

Note : If you wanted to boil it overnight, then

just turn the switch to Low and boil till next day.

Once done, let it cool before drinking.

I even brought the Ginseng Drink to office to drink (if I boil it overnight).

My family and I also drinking it.

Healthy herbal drink.

Chinese New Year 2013 (Year of Snake) will be coming in another few

more weeks only.  I believe all Chinese are busily making cookies, 

snacks, cleaning up their house, buying new clothes and etc preparing

for the coming Chinese New Year.

This dip was taught by my mother in law, it is her secret recipe taught

to all her five daughter in laws.  All her sons, daughters, daughter in laws,

son in laws and lastly her grand children loves this dip.  

Either you use this dip for your Steam Chicken (Pak Cham Kai) 

or use it to stir fry with your chicken.  It is just lip smacking.  

All Chinese loves to eat Steam Chicken (Pak Cham Kai) during festive season

especially eve of Chinese New Year when all goes back home to their parents

home for celebration.

definitely enjoy this dip.

I am submitting this post to Chinese New Year Delights 2003 hosted

Sorry gals, I have forgotten the measurement.

But I believe with your vast experience as an expert cook, you will

know the measurement from the picture above.

Some Cilantro, Sping Onion, Ginger and Garlic.

Dice finely Ginger and Garlic.  Chop finely Cilantro and Spring Onion.

Heat up one table spoon or more of cooking oil.

Pour in the Ginger and cook for 1 minute.

Pour in the Gralic and cook for 1 minute.

Once you notice it is slightly turning to brown, pour in the

Cilantro and Spring Onion.

Stir fry for two minutes.

Season with some salt and remember to taste it.

Stir fry another two minutes or some garlic or ginger slightly brown

and it is done.  Dish up.

While I am blogging this dip, I am missing it already.

What are you waiting for, tag it and cook it for coming

Chinese New Year.

Wishing all Chinese "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Happy Chinese New Year)

This recipe adapted from Martha Stewart.

180g Salted Peanuts / 420g Caster Sugar

Little bit of Cooking Oil / Little bit of Butter / 1/2 cup Water

With the melted butter and brush the lined baking paper.

Note : Next try, I will omit the baking paper because it still stick to the 

baking paper eventhough I have brushed with melted butter.

With a heavy base saucepan, pour in the caster sugar and water.

Boil over high fire without stirring.

Look like this after 1 minute. (Do not stir)

Look like this after 3 minutes. (Do not stir)

Once you noticed it is beginning to brown, then you start to keep

on stirring until it is golden (about 3 more minutes).

Once it is golden amber in colour, turn off the fire. 

Pour in the salted peanuts and stir until well coated.

Pour the mixture into the buttered baking paper.  

Quickly spread with an oil spatula.

Let it cool and then break the brittle into pieces.

While breaking the brittle, myself already starting to eat.

My husband is the peanut lover also can't stop himself from taking.

Brandy Fruits Cake

Brandy Fruits Cake

Another few more days, Christmas will be coming.

This year, I made this Brandy Fruits Cake way ahead of time, so that

this cake be able to age inside my fridge before giving to my friends.

If you wanted to make 10 cakes, then double the recipes.

While I was making this cake, my dear husband snooping in and out

and I know he can't wait for this Brandy Fruits Cake to be baked.

My dear daughter do not fancy fruits cake but at the end, she had the most

because she said those aged inside the fridge taste better than the one

not inside the fridge.

My son is complaining that I have been cooking and baking for my

husband and my daughter and not his favourite food.  

Ho! Ho! Ho! He is getting jealous.  

Well, coming soon will be his favourite food.   

Would like to wish all my Christian friends and all Christian in this world 

a Very Happy Merry Christmas To You and Family.  

May God shower his choicest blessings on you and

your family this Christmas.

You have to soak the mixed fruits with brandy two weeks or less before

you start to make this cake.  Cover with lid and leave at one side

and occasionally with a spoon, mix those mixed fruits. 

632g Mixed Fruits.

1 to 1 1/2 cups Brandy. (I put 1 cup)

*375g Plain Flour

*2 tbsp Milk Powder / 1 tsp ground nutmeg / 1 tsp mixed spices / 1 tsp cinnamon powder

Shift and mix those dry ingredients (*) well combined.

**226g Butter / 210 g Brown Sugar / 250 ml Orange Juice / 

**125 ml Treacle / 1 tsp Baking Soda.

***4 Eggs (slightly beaten with a fork)

Combine all the ingredients (**)  in a large saucepan with the mixed fruits.

Stir over low fire until sugar has dissolved. Remember to stir occasionally.  

Bring to boil for about 5 minutes.  Remember to stir occasionally.

Remove from fire and leave to cool.

Once the mixture is cool, pour in the beaten eggs (***) slowly 

and stir until combined.

Pour in the dry ingredients (*).

And mix until well combined.

Once the mixture is well combined.  Pour into prepared pan lined with greased

paper or aluminium tin foil. Bake for 1 hour at 190 Degree Celsius.

Once baked, take it out and let it cool.

Once cool, with a fine skewer I poke the cake with a few holes and 

then brush the top with brandy for a few times.

Cover the cake with aluminium foil and best eaten after a few days of aging

in the fridge.  Tie with a ribbon and present to your friends as

Christmas gift.

Snow man and my dear husband can't stop staring at those lovely Brandy Fruits Cake.

Have A Very Happy Merry And Wonderful Christmas With Your Family and Friends.
