Hong Kong Styled Egg Tart

HaPpY DEePavALi !!!!

I have no idea how the egg tart knows today is Deepavali, the consequences for not listening to mum, it leaked..

Simple ingredients! Mum and I always wanna bake egg tarts, I never wanna reveal how many eggs we wasted when we were trying to bake the portugese egg tarts many years back. Now we are back, to bake simple egg tarts first.hehe.. Extract from All Recipe. I ate one right after I showered Twistie, oh yeah, I didn't get to rest after baking as gege was showing me his messy face.

INGREDIENTS
125 g confectioners' sugar
375 g all-purpose flour
225 g butter
1 egg, beaten
1 dash vanilla extract -->forgot to put

Custard
135 g white sugar
355 ml water
9 eggs, beaten --> I used only 7
1 dash vanilla extract --> forgot to put
235 ml canned evaporated milk

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar and flour.

Mix in butter with a fork until it is in small crumbs.

Stir in the egg and vanilla until the mixture forms a dough.

The texture should be slightly moist.

Add more butter if it is too dry, or more flour, if the dough seems greasy.

I then keep it in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, and press the balls into tart molds so that it covers the bottom, and goes up higher than the sides.

Use 2 fingers to shape the edge into an A shape.-->obviously I didn't do it

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Combine the white sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil.

Cook until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Strain the eggs through a sieve, and whisk into the sugar mixture. Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla.

Strain the filling through a sieve, and fill the tart shells.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown, and the filling is puffed up a little bit.

Note:
Whole milk will work as a substitute for evaporated milk

Let's do My Cha Cha

I've improvised the recipe according to our taste. I always love this dessert. Mum used to cook them when we were very young. Today I cook it with mum's help. Later in the evening, Nat and Chris are coming over for dinner together with Cheryl. Try to spot the Pikachu mum made for Cheryl~ Oh yah, Ben is working today, I know I know, is DEEPAVALI, even his fellow indians colleagues are in the office "fighting bugs" but tomorrow will be their day off and Ben is going to be a NANNY to Cheryl.

From Hell

To where you belong...

Well, I wonder should I have more control at my own blog? Like giving permission to those who really wish to come to my blog. Damn I hate this. It is suppose to be a sharing site. I share almost everything here at my corner. But if you can recall, I seldom post things or people I hate the most. Too bad I just found out there are actually people who are seriously "uninvited".

It is so annoying to find out there are strangers who frequent your site but hate you to the core! Why still bother to come? Like you are staying at home and you always sleeping naked next to your husband, thinking of all the privacy you have, suddenly you found out that there are some ba*tard hiding and peeping you every now and then at your doorstep. The best part, this peeping fellow never like you.

For god, for whoever sake, please crawl back to the hole where you belong! If you don't like me, don't like every single line that key in by me, get your own life elsewhere! I'm not interested to know things or people that has got nothing to do with me.

Business Trip?

"You should just tender your resignation.."

"No, I wanna take my bonus first, if I leave now, I've got nothing.."

"If you resign now, you'll get to go Shanghai with me.."

"......"

Ben has confirmed his Shanghai trip a minute ago. He will leave on 25th Nov - 1st December. How sad.. this time round, Ben is not going for training but to train those PRC. I never know what is his job description but I know he does coding, is coding = programming? He is always in the cold lab, I have no ideas why must that lab be so cold, he will sit in for hours killing bugs, yeah, now he sounds like pest control expert. Ben, when you are in Shanghai, you will be working 9-5 and I'll end up doing all the shopping alone, which I don't want. I promise I'll be "SAHW", just gimme another 2 months, ok?

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.

If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it's exploitation.

If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your ass and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, it's favoritism.

If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.

If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

If you cry, you're a wimp.

If you don't, you're insensitive.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist pig, you bastard.

If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.

If she asks you, it's a favor.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain.

If you don't, you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you're after something.

If you don't, you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements, you're an egotist.

If you're not, you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache, she's tired.

If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore, and you must be sleeping around.

Fried Maggie Mee

I was still sick but miss my wok after working so I thought of doing some wokking if I could find 2 packets of maggie mee. Thank god I found them and there we had our maggie mee as dinner. Please don't ask me about the recipe, is merely maggie mee and whatever things I could get from the fridge. Oh, this is Ben all time favourite, you can't go wrong as long as you cook this.

Relapsed

Right sided headache persists for several days and I am sure I am not suffering from migraine, because before the episode, I'll have "Visual Aura", which is a warning sign to me, follows by terrible pain, nausea and vomiting, for sure.

So what's causing me looking so lousy, sneezing, swelling eyes??

"SINUSITIS"

I've got sinus problem about 10 years back. It was an acute sinusitis I developed during family trip to Cameron Highlands. I still remember I couldn't breath nicely the whole night, due to the weather, I thought I had cold and severe nose block. After a few days, daddy decided to bring me to see an ENT specialist at Fatimah Specialist Hospital and I was diagnosed with Sinusitis. According to the doc, there is an inflammation of the nasal sinuses. It is usually caused by infection (bacterial or viral), but can also be caused by allergic reactions or other responses to environmental agents. For me, I think is weather + low immune systems = problem comes. Since then, I started with the spray for almost 4 years and finally "weaned off the bottle" because some idiots said I might get addicted to it. Well, that was about 3-4 years back since the last episode and I no longer having the nasal spray, I am so afraid of the sinus draining but there is just "too much fluid inside" now. I blamed it to the Air Con temperature in the clinic. *I know this can never be the reason for me to tender my resignation* Room 16 and Room 21 are like oven at time but stuffy all the time. The rest of the rooms are like freezer. I was already sick on Fri, still got to stay in Room 18, assisting prof kth for continously 5 hours. *cursing*

I'm feeling sooooo lousy and sleepy...How? I don't wanna take MC

Pineapple Fried Rice

Yesterday was a boring, lonely Saturday to me and so I decided to ask Ben out for Japanese Dinner and we ended up cursing and swearing that we would not come back to this Japanese Restaurant anymore. Suddenly I felt like eating Thai Pineapple Fried Rice, Ben and I shopped for the stuff and today we have our Pineapple Fried Rice. Ben even used the remaining fruit to make fresh pineapple juice! Oh...I miss Bangkok!

You're not AN Engineer..

"You're not an Engineer, you're an Architect!"

Ben was thrilled when Keerthi said that, he knows that his hard work all this while has taken into account and most importantly, appreciated significantly!

Of course, I am prepared that Ben will be asked to go Shanghai anytime soon, definitely not with me as I seriously don't think my application will be approved.

But I am okay about it as I know, my long leave in December is around the corner and we are planning out trip to Japan... I am going to buy lots lots lots of cute stuff from Japan...please stop me..

Besides, I am also looking forward the bonus..not mine, is chicken okay! My 2.5 months bonus is even lesser than his monthly earnings. Ben said he is going to get me this!

Yes, my KitchenAid Artisan Pink Mixer

Anyway, Congratulations to WaBee! Well Done!
