中秋节 : 月糕, 月光饼

 I came across this recipe when I was browsing through the youtube for Mooncake recipe. During my childhood, I dont really like sweet stuff.. not a sweet tooth person. I remember well my mum LOVE this, every mooncake festival I will see my mum happily enjoy this 'biscuit'. 

My son has the same 'taste' like my mum, my husband like it too.. for my daughters, both of them never try this before. Since the recipe is quite easy and I need to prepare the 'similar ingredient' for snowskin mooncake, I just gave it a try !! 

I am following this youtube recipe, which is quite simple. 

Youtube referece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJfQg61RhVw&list=PLADD01A943E2E2B5F&index=22

材料:

50克 糕粉 (熟糯米粉) (6tbsp+2tsp)

35克-40克 糖浆 (糖浆食谱如下)

糖浆材料:

150克 砂糖 (1/2 cup + 1/8 cup)

75克 水

1小片 香兰叶 (选择性增加香味)

Instructions:

1. Cook the syrup in a pan and let it cool down.
2. Pour 40gram of syrup into the flour and mixed well. (need to add more syrup to make it more solid)
3. Put the flour mixture into the mooncake mold and get it done.

Cinnamon Rolls

 Well, as usual, I barely baked as not really 'good' on it and also due to the cold weather here.. the bread always turned up not so good. I tried this recipe more than once, the good thing about this is you can make the dough and put in your fridge overnight or few days. Once you ready to bake, just take out .. roll it flat .. apply the cinnamon paste and bake ! And of course, my kids LOVE it!! 

Here the youtube link i refer to : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTdU13pryV0

But i did not add in the topping cream, as i prefer it to be just cinnamon rolls with the sticky cinnamon paste :p

糯米烧卖 Glutinous rice siu mai

I think this is not malaysian dim sum.. as i can remember, we normally have 'siew mai' with the pork mince ... or just 'lu mai kai'.. I know this from Shanghai friend, and of course asian grocerry shop.. my kids love glutinous rice and me too. So i tried with this recipe that i found from youtube, it turns out quite good, but the problem is we 'stuff' too much ...hahaha.. end up the siu mai become very 'BIG" size

I used x2 recipe as to make 24 pieces (well, my kids never had enough) ..haha.. I will add on the pic after steamed... (forgot to snap the photo on my 1st batch), I keep the extra in freezer for other days.

马脚

其实我不太喜欢吃马脚，但我老公喜欢，这是我第一次做。。在2020 澳洲的父亲节里。。给大家当午餐。。孩子们也喜欢吃。。我估计大多数孩子都喜欢吃‘炸’的 。。哈哈。。

烧包

Siew pao... 烧包 ..

During the lockdown now in Victoria, life been too boring.. and there was leftover 'char siew' ... so just search for some 'simplest' recipe and do it !!
