Fresh Fruit Cheesecake

This will be the last of the marathon of posts for today. This is a no bake cheesecake and finally one that is successful. No bake cheesecakes have never been one that I managed to master before, that is until a friend of mine shared a tip on ensuring the gelatine sets and suddenly voila! no bake cheesecake that behaves as it should! I flavoured mine with lemon and vanilla bean paste and topped it with fresh fruits, refreshing!

A slice topped with Kiwi fruit


Murtabak

This is another dish that I've been craving for, for a while now. It will sound strange but it is actually the pickled red onion that I crave for rather than the roti itself. When bought from the stalls, you usually get a tiny amount of the pickled onions. So since it has been a successful attempt, the murtabak man can keep his pickled onions as now I know how to make them myself.

Roti Jala 2

This is a second posting of roti jala. Instead of the usual chinese style chicken curry that we make for Christmas in my house (yes, roti jala is a staple on our Christmas menu), I tried a new nonya bawang merah (shallots) chicken curry. The verdict? the 'original' chinese style chicken curry is still best!

Pork ribs soup

This is an adaptation of the nourishing chicken soup that my friend taught me to make during my confinement so it does not have a proper name and therefore I shall call it pork ribs soup akin to calling a spade a spade. I used pork ribs in place of chicken and the result is tender meat falling off the bone. Dunked in soya sauce with cili padi (because it is not for confinement) and eaten with plain boiled rice, leaves a warm feeling in the tummy, perfect for a cold winter's day!
