My First Cheese Cake

2006-12-19T00:15:00.000+08:00

Simplest ingredients (can be bought almost everywhere):
1) 300gm Cream Cheese
2)3 whole eggs
3)100gm sugar
4)Yogurt (Mango Flavour)
5)3 Table spoon of wheat flour
6) Some biscuit (for the base) (optional)

METHOD

Mixed all the ingredients with a blender or a mixer. Pre-heat oven to 150°C. And simply bake all the mixture for 35minutes. Cover the mixture with an alum foil at the 20th minute to prevent burnt on the surface of the cake. When done, leave cake to cool down a bit and store in the refridgerator for few hours before serving it.
Here it is! Although it may not look classy but it's as delicious!
View from top... noticed a little burnt there...

I make another better one for Christmas. Alleluiah! Merry Christmas!

Next beat the yolks add 8 tble spoons of sugar (1 yolk = 1 tbl spoon).. beat them together.. sampai balance... then.. add bit by bit of the cream cheese... kasi jadi mcm cream lah... thick.. yellowish... sampai sebati lah. Then add the egg white... bit by bit juga... mix slowly jgn kasi picah tu buih.. hehhe... then the mixture is ready.

Next dip the sponge cake or the bahulu into the coffe and then arrange it nicely into a deep plate. Layer by layer... first layer add the mixture... then another layer of cake and then add the mixture somemore... sampai abis lah...

And then keep dalam freezer for at least 3 hours. Before serve, sprinkle the cocoa powder on top.

Nah kan... bikin gumuk kama ni.. once a year ok lah.

The North-Borneon Rice Wine

2005-02-21T19:09:00.000+08:00

A wine that worth waiting. Also known as 'Lihing' in the KadazanDusun language.

Preparation time 24 hours.

Ingredients

14 pots of rice.

Dried yeast (processed) 10 pcs.

Preparation:

1)
Boil rice in a large pot with average of water. Not too much and not too less.

Boil up to 80% cooked, do not over cooked. We don't want soft rice or porridge.

2)
Spread the boiled rice on a mat; leave to cold.

Mean time, chase away all the unwelcome insects e.g flies, ants etc.

3)
Punch all 10 pieces of yeast to get a powder foam.

Sprinkle the powdered yeast on all over the spreaded cold rice. And mix toroughly.

4)
And then leave it covered to marinate for at least 20 hours.

5)

Transfer the marinated rice into a pail (best with ceramic pot). Keep sealed. We don't want air entering in it.

6)

And then leave it to become mature wine for 2 - 3 months.

The rice would turn into redish, sweet and soury wine. Approximate alchohol percentage - 13%.

It's worth the wait!!! So wait till I show you how it'd look like in 2 -3 months.

It has annoying smells like a small insect (posisang) I don't know what they call that creature in English. U bet, I have been dreaming to eat this stuff, and it is only found in Sabah, I guess. This stuff is best to go with the deep fried fish. Taste, watery and sour. Yum yum... oh! By the way.. it's called TUHAU.
