Kuih Ketayap / Kuih Gulung

this is one of the tradisional kuih / dessert. Rolled pancake with palm sugar coconut flakes filling. This recipe i got from Mat Gebu's blog http://tiffinbiru.blogspot.com/ <-- you can find it there under kuih muih. Thanx ya MG, everyone loves this kuih even those who never liked this sort of kuih loves it...the pancake texture is different than that of the store bought kuih.

so check the recipe out (i'm a tad bit lazy to re-type). Thanx again MG!

My attempt on making swiss roll - not successful

Have you ever tried making a cake and it didn't turned out just right...or lopsided or texture problem or any other problem that may rise when making a cake???

well don't ya worry...i occasionally have that problem, not always an excellent baker...especially when it comes to sponge cake...like the above...i was trying to make a swiss roll with fresh cream and strawberry bits... but everything went wrong and here's why...

1. i used wrong baking tin which made it thinner and shorter than it supposed to be
2. as for the filling, i forgot to add in gelatin so the fillings did not hold as it supposed to be

Taste wise; cake: surprisingly not bad only its kinda chewy and not too sweet for a cake (my son loves it so who cares) , fillings: regardless of the gelatin, its still taste good.

not too worry i shall make another attempt on making the swiss roll and this time i'll make it right!!!

Food Fest: Pertandingan Juadah Hari Raya...

I've been thinking...coz lately i've been browsing at Indonesian blogs and they have Indonesian foodie bloggers community and they do stuff i mean activities amongst themselves and i thought that's fun so i came out with this idea of a competition that we can do it once in awhile just for fun. but then the thing about competition is that you need a prize...so the question is SHOULD THE PRIZE BE PHYSICAL OR VIRTUAL? i honestly prefer to give physical prize but that will cost money but if its a virtual prize, then would it encourage people to enter the competition???

mmmm... yeah been thinking about that since yesterday...and i think we should give both physical n virtual Prize... so for starters i'll try to get the prize just to get the ball rolling...(and i'm feeling a tad bit generous) so here it is...
