Yesterday was another big day for chinese, where family members needed to sit together to have dinner (sort of like the day before chinese new year). since i am still at KL, I joined my bro and SIL for dinner. We dine in at Hotel Imperial Kuala Lumpur... ,Essence for the buffet dinner.

I went there few months ago, during my bday that happened to fall on 31 Aug, it seriously was a love at first taste towards the desserts presented on the table. My loved for their special made chocolate ice cream was irreplaceable by any other normal chocolate ice cream i been eating on.

So off we go to Imperial Hotel at 730pm.. the foods were nice, the unagi sushi was heaven :P.. but only things that impressed me was the desserts.. (imagine i dream bout it yesterday after i came home from dinner).

Black Sesame Ice Cream.. trust me, you will ask for more

Almond Blueberry Cake and Christmas Fruit Cake

Chocolate Ice cream (is not available that night, but thanks to The Chef i manage to taste it once again) - See good customer service :D

At last after 1 and a half years of planning to bake an apple pie, i managed to bake one yesterday, but my apple pie version is small stand alone, instead of a huge pie plate...

This recipe is from a good gaming friend of mine, but she and her husband seems to be missing in action, idk why, i tried to email them but no reply, :(, hence i can't share the recipe here yet until i got the permission from her :D...

Oh her pie recipe received 1st prize at the town baking competition :D, so no recipe but 2 pictures to share~

It been zillion years I didnt bake... yesterday, with permission, i tried baking Macaroon (muahah I dont even know what it that but is easy n SIMPLE!) so... of me go...

Ingredients:
1: 225g of Ground Almond (will taste nicer if slighty roaster - well is not in the book instruction but... i think it will taste nicer instead of raw almond touches on ur tongue later)

2. 225g of castor sugar (trust me you wanted to reduce to 50g, which i reduced to 125g and is still so sweet!)

3. 4 egg white size C (size 3)

Method:
1. Put in the Ground Almond, Castor Sugar and unbeaten egg white into a big bowl and star stirring until it mixed well :D

2. Use rice paper (alternative to this is clean plastic bag) and make it into a cone, cut a small hold and pump the mixture into the baking plate (grease it with margerin or butter, or u can replace it with edible rice paper - yes edible plz, if not the end product will stick on the paper) Note: there were no butter used hence it will stick on the plate.

3. Heat up the oven 160 C or 325 F, bake the macaroon for 15min to 20min until it turn slight golden brown~.

4. let it cool on the rack and served. :D

My 1st trial of Macaroon... muaha... the smell of Almond is oishii... (confess! my dog keep chasing me for more)

I have left over konnyaku jelly powder due to my stupidity (thats y my orange n chocolate konnyaku jelly failed miserably - did not pour all the powder so my jelly was so soft and texture was so weird.)

Since it been there for so long, i decided to use the left over to make Red Bean Konnyaku~ is pretty easy tho, but 1st you have to cook your Red Bean.

Ingridient:
Red Bean
Sugar
Pandan Leaf
Water

Soften Red Bean
Konnyaku Powder
Sugar
Water (use red bean water~)

Method:
1. Use slow pot to cook the Red Bean over night until it became soft~
2. (dont blend the Red Bean cause it hardly hold when it became jelly)
3. Place the red bean in your mold and set aside
4. Mix the sugar and konnyaku powder together, and pour into the water (red bean water) and bring in to boil. Set aside and continue stir for 5 minutes or until the bubble dissappear.
5. Pour the jelly mixture into the mold, let it cool before keeping it in the refrigerator.
6. Taste good when it is serve in cold. :D

Oh and is very good for health too :D
