When my best friend gave up on me...
|
|
 Huh Huhu... It was the busiest period of the season.. but my best friend finally gave up on me.. a few days before Eid.. Luckily.. all cookies were prepared.. before my faithful oven..aka..my best fren.. broke down.. And I didn't even realise that there was any problem at all. All that I notice was my layered cakes (2 pcs) were burnt at the bottom eventhough no 'bottom flames' were on. It was a total heartache to have wasted nearly 50pcs of eggs for nothing. Then.. switch to my mini conventional oven.. and smoke started coming out. Gosh.. what was that..???#@/! There was a burning smell as well.. (Dugaan.. dugaan..) And you wouldn't believe me... on the last night of Ramadhan.. my microwave oven..didn't get heat-up.. eventhough it was switch on... Nasib...... So.. my baking project has to stop temporarily.. or probably I still can use the oven.. only has to succumb to the irregular temperature.. What say you? 
To Mama Siti.. who requested for Black pepper Beef recipe.. this is how I prepared mine.. Kindly adjust to suit your liking.. cos.. I don't really have a basic recipe.. (Ini kan kes campak2) I tried to recall the approximate measurement... But you should do it according to your taste yaa..
DAGING BLACK PEPPER
500g daging batang pinang (dihiris tipis)
1 sudu kecil bawang putih dicincang
1 sudu besar sweet sauce (boleh guna kicap manis saja)
1 sudu makan oyster sauce
1 sudu makan lada hitam ditumbuk kasar
1/4 cawan air
Minyak untuk menumis
Bahan B:
1 cawan capsicum (campur semua warna) dihiris
1 biji bawang bangla di potong enam
1 ikat daun bawang dipotong sepanjang 3 inci
2 biji tomato besar potong enam
3 inci halia di hiris halus seperti batang mancis
Panaskan sedikit minyak dikuali.. masukkan bawang putih, daging dan serbuk lada hitam. Tumis sehingga daging empuk.. Akhir sekali masukkan sos manis, sos tiram, dan kesemua bahan B. Setelah sebati.. masukkan sedikit air. Bubuh garam dan gula jika perlu..
Specially to Cik Bawang.. I did my Black Pepper Prawn.. just like the above recipe. Only I would substitute the cooking oil with butter.. Adjust anything to your liking.. my dear..
 I was drooling when I saw kuih lopes at MamaFami's fotopage. So I decided to make my own lopes.. my USUAL way.. You see.. I know.. and I read in many blogs how.. people would prefer the improvised version as they are more simplified and "tak leceh'. But over here, we are so used to making our lopes this way.. that we don't really find anything 'leceh' about it. Sometimes, we would prepare around hundred to three hundreds pieces for special occasions like wedding and small gathering. I guess.. it's just fun.. when you fold the triangles.. just like folding your samosas..
How I make my Lopes:
I will soak my glutinous rice with a teaspoon of alkaline water and leave for about 2-3 hours. Then wash them well and drain them. Prepare the banana leaves.. tear them into 3inches strips. Before that, you may softened the banana leaves by dipping in hot water. Then fold the banana strips into a cone by the end. Fill with 2 dessertspoon of glutinous rice.. and fold compact like you are folding a samosa. Tie them up with raffias. Or you may also use rubber-bands. Boil in boiling water for 3-4 hours. Once cooked... drain and cool thoroughly. Discard the banana leaves and cover lopes with steamed coconut.. and have it with your palm-sugar syrup.. Yummy...
| Quote: | Zack ~ Yer lah Zack.. barangkali lopes yang berbungkus begini hanya orang S'pore ajer yang buat..  Buat ajer cara mudah dimana pulut ditanak dulu , then just shape 'em. Bab daging kak rossya pun tak pandai.. dulu try jugak bermacam petua.. tak serasi kot. Kalau kat sini , kak rossya suka beli tender block (tenderloin) kat supermarket.. sebab ia benar2 cepat lembut untuk stir-fry. Kalau beli kat pasar2 sini.. sama ajer... daging batang pinang pun boleh lambat nak empuk.. Boleh gitu... 
Rozzan ~ Ish.. tak lah beli yang baru Rozzan.. nanti nak cuba repair dulu... sayang pulak lah.. 
dilaOHdila ~ nyum nyum OH dila!! 
MamaFami ~ Eh.. best fren sakit sikit.. tak kan terus nak buang Mama.. Nanti nak cari doktor suruh obatkan dulu... Bab lopes ni.. memang ini cara yang selalu kiter buat kat sini.. Pernah buat seperti bentuk lontong dan potong bulat2 setelah dimasak.. tapi my hubby kata.. tak sedap.. kurang bau daun pisang.. hahhaa 
++FarEastPhotoworld++ ~ peminat udang ni...
MamaSiti ~ I really enjoyed your company the other day Mama T. Jangan serik yer.. nanti.. datang, kiter ngoceh2 lagi yer... dengan secawan teh panas.. hehee 
Tina ~ Ni .. dah berjaya buat biskut.. boleh nanti berprojek untuk anak2.. Biskut2 buatan 'mummy' tu mesti lebih sedap dari yang beli diluar... Kesian pulak sampai dicatu2 gitu.. 
Ecah ~ Ader geng lah kak rossya.. Akak pun suka makan.. tapi kat sini akak kena buat sendiri.. sebab dah takder emak!! Sedih.. 
Nic ~ Nic kalau teringin nak buat lopes.. buat yang mudah ajer.. Sama ajer.. Sini cara kiter.. leceh sedikit.. 
MamaAnis ~ Kalau punyer waktu.. lauk daging/udang tu cepat untuk disediakan.. Jangan lah kata dekat.. kalau jauh sekalipun.. ku sedia terima kamu kemari.. Hehee..
Nabialishad ~ Alahh.. Nabia.. gambar tu ajer mungkin buat makanan jadi cantik.. Belum try belum tahu.. wakakaa
Leezsa ~ Kak Rossya pernah tengok ketupat palas di majalah.. tapi tak pernah rasa.. I think it should be similar.. Tapi ketupat palas tak bungkus ngan daun pisang kan? 
Ruby ~ Aiyoh..larling.. I no cleber lah... I dah buat lopes since young.. Infact, lontong pun I rebus sendiri from young tanpa acuan tau.. just daun pisang.. Practice makes perfect... You jangan putus asa... cuba hingga berjaya.. it's nothing impossible ok..
Lily ~ Ish.. ader jugak orang M'sia yang buat lopes tiga segi ni yer... Hmm.. untungnyer Lily.. mummy sayang eh... Nak makan suruh emak buat eh....
Kak Leen ~ Budak2 mesti suka Leen.. manissss kan dengan air gula tu... 
Acik ~ Cuba.. jangan tak cuba.. hehee 
Nora ~ Cuba lah yang mudah sahaja Nora.. I guess the taste should be the same.. Namanyer pun sama kan Lopes... Selamat menjamu.. lopeessss.
Mommy d&d ~ Yes..Kak rossya rasa .. oven tu lah yang nak berehat.. Kecian dia.. Nanti nak panggil doktor suruh obatkan.. Hehee
Raime ~ Bagi kak rossya .. orite lah tu,,,,

Yangmazni ~ Hai .. kalau dah kek lapis.. banyak lah telurnyer Maz.. Apa nak buat...
Mademoseille Ayu ~ Kak Rossya boleh geng ngan yr sis lah...
Sabrina ~ It's alright to be different Sab. I always salute those people who can be themselves... Selera kiter kan berbeza2.. Ps ~ Udang.. oh udang.. sedapnyer.... 
Zakiah ~ Kat sini I beli my Sweet Sauce dalam botol.. serupa ngan kicap manis.. rasanyer lain sikit ajer.. I think it's more similar to kicap pekat Indonesia.. macam kicap ABC tu.. I use lots of this in my chinese cooking..
MummyJam ~ Hmm.. I also used SMEG.. before this one.. Oven ni.. bukan lah rosak teruk mummy.. cuma temperature nya sahja yang haywire.. Nanti nak kena repair dulu lah.. Hope takyah ganti yang baru.. sayanglah pulak.. Oven kecil Kenwood Rossya pun terbakar jugak aritu mummy... So takder alternativelah sekarang... Dia suh kiter dok diam2 dulu... hahahaa
Aureanayz ~ mana pegi ni.. lama tak update fp ? Kak rossya ader keluar-masuk2 fp mu.... tercari2.. cepat lah update.. gambar Eropah yang cun2 tu.. 
Mama Siti ~ Hai Mama.. nak beli lagi satu.. susah jugak kalau nak revamp Built-in nyer.. Mama T kan dah nampak my oven nyer shape.. memanjang gitu... Susah cari ganti kot.. 
Kuzi ~ I always believe you're a super woman and one great cook.. Lihat saja.. dalam kesibukan jadual belajar dan conference.. you always manage to whip such 'powerful' spread... You go gal!! 
Kak Mar ~ Ish.. berani Mar ketawakan kuih orang S'pore? Ish 3X..  Yer lah kiter ni serumpun.. tapi masih banyak perbezaan kan.. Mar nanti kalau turun S'pore.. cuba cari lopes kat sini... sedap... Itulah lopes kiter.. maybe in M'sia dipanggil ketupat pulut kot.. Kak rossya tengok yr blog... ketupat pulut tu.. tak bungkus daun pisang yer.. jadi ader lah sikit kelainan nyer tu,,,
Edoras ~ Gemuk tak per lah Edoras.. janji sihat... hahaaii
