Extra Flaky Duo Kaya Puff 超香脆双料咖椰角


And here's what I did. (Recipe adapted from here)
Ingredients for pastry dough crust :
250gm  all purpose flour
50gm  cold butter, chopped
130ml  warm water
1 TB sugar
a pinch of salt
100gm   margarine or shortening (I used shortening)
* extra flour for working table

For fillings :  one jar of peanut butter spread & one jar of kaya jam
Egg glazing  :  one yolk mixed with 1 tspn milk
some sesame seeds for topping (optional)

Method :
(1)  dissolved sugar & salt into warm water then set aside to cool.
(2)  put together flour and butter then rub till became fine crumb.
(3)  stir water mixture into flour mixture till soft dough is formed.

(4)  wrap dough with plastic sheet and keep chilled for 15 minutes.
(5)  now, roll dough to 1cm thickness and spread on 90gm of margarine then fold flat dough into half, seal the edges and chill for 30 minutes.

(6)  again, roll chilled dough to 1cm thickness, make a single fold (no need to seal) then keep chilled to set for 15 minutes.
(7)  now, roll chilled dough to 1cm thickness for the final round, make a single fold (no need to seal) then keep chilled to set for 30 minutes.

(8)  finally, flatten chilled dough to 2mm thickness (7 to 8 x 20") and spread on the remaining margarine, roll up the dough like a swiss roll.(as picture shown as the above). And keep into freezer to set for 30 minutes.

(9) when done, cut rolled dough into 10 equal portions (with diameter around 2.5").

(10)  now, roll each dough between a plastic sheet into oblong shape (as shown in the above picture).

(11)  next, spread on both peanut butter jam & kaya jam onto one side of the pastry dough.

(12)  then flip the other half over to cover the filling, no need to press seal the edges and transfer pastry straight to baking tray.


Finally, spread on egg glazing together with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. And bake at preheated oven 230'C for about 25-30 minutes or till golden brown.

Deep Fried Cheesy Taro Balls 台式炸起司芋头酥

This is another version of taro balls that I am working with, unlike the common taro ball called "wu kok'. 'Wu kok' has 5 spice aroma and with the hairy outstanding crust and savory fillings. But this version of taro ball is in a very clean flavour, which is sweet and salty and cheesy at the same time. Kind of melting you away.....  haha......   Please read on for more. Note for my dearest readers :  For further enquiry, kindly email directly to me. Thank you. When you are in the market, go look for taro that is around 530gm cause after all the cutting and cleaning it will became 400gm something.

Keropok Lekor Terengganu 登嘉楼特色炸鱼饼

I can't believe it myself that I'm actually making  keropok lekor  !!! Gosh, never in my life I would imagine myself making this, Terengganu fish cracker ! Its hubby favourite. I actually wanted to buy some of these during my last visit to Terengganu but hubby said NO ! However, I knew I'm going to give this a shot when I reached home and this is it. I have fulfilled it.  Keropok lekor  is the specialty of the east and it is normally made with small fishes or leftover fishes from the market place. Unlike the common fish cracker which is thin and crispy,  keropok leko r  is slightly thicker and fishy flavoured. And I have chosen to use   ikan kembung (scomber or bloating fish ) for the test run, cause its cheap and meaty compare to other small fishes. Ingredients : 1 kg   ikan kembung or bloating fish 1/2 cup  water 1 tspn  vegetable granules 2 tspn  salt 1 tspn  pepper 200-250gm  tapioca starch Meth...
