sebenarnye pie ni x crack, tp disebabkan perasaan x sabar nak potong time panas2, terjadila tragedi crack itu...huhu...agak tertekan sbb terlupa amik gmbr before potong...

 For those who would like to try, here’s the recipe. It’s quite simple. I got this recipe from my favourite web, www.myresipi.com.

 Apple Pie

 Bahan-bahan:

• 6 biji epal hijau, dikupas kulit, potong 12 setiap 1 biji epal
• 200 g gula pasir (kalau tak suka manis, boleh la kurang kan sedikit gula)
• 50 g kismis
• 20 g tepung jagung, bancuh dgn sedikit air

 UNTUK DOH PIE :-

• 500 g tepung halus (tepung gandum pun boleh……)
• 200 g mentega
• 2 biji telur Gred A, dikacau sedikit
• 250 g gula halus

 Cara-cara:

1. Dalam periuk masak gula pasir hingga cair dan keperangan. Masukkan epal dan kismis. Gaul rata. Masukkan bancuhan tepung jagung dan masak hingga pekat. Sejukkan.

1. Untuk doh pula, ayak tepung dan gaulkan dengan gula halus hingga rata. Masukkan mentega dan gaul hingga menjadi seakan2 serbuk roti. Tuang telur yg telah dikacau tadi sedikit demi sedikit sambil digaul hingga terhasil doh yg tidak melekat dimangkuk adunan. Jangan bimbang jika telur tidak habis digunakan. Bungkus dgn plastik dan sejukkan 30 minit.

1. Selepas 30 minit keluarkan doh dan biarkan sebentar. Kemudian canai doh diantara 2 plastik hingga menjadi kurang lebih 1/2 cm tebal. Doh mesti dicanai lebih besar dari mangkuk pie.

1. Perlahan-lahan tanggalkan plastik bahagian atas dan dgn cermat terbalikkan doh ke dalam mangkuk pie. Ratakan perlahan2 hingga menutupi kesemua bahagian dalam mangkuk itu. Potong lebihan doh. Tuangkan inti yang telah sejuk. Tutup permukaan pie dgn lebihan doh, buat cara sama seperti tadi. Sapu dgn kuning telur dan larikkan dgn garfu secara bersilang utk menghasilkan corak. Bakar dalam oven yg telah dipanaskan pada suhu 175C selama 30 minit. Sejukkan pie sebelum dipotong. Selamat mencuba…

One fine Sunday morning during Ramadhan, I woke up from bed feeling very enthusiastic to cook ‘rojak pasembur’(semangat memasak saya mmg pelik2 kadang2…hehe…) I never cook ‘kuah kacang’ before but I decided to give it a try with high hopes that it will turn out good, or at least it’ll looks like ‘kuah kacang’. hehe…

Well, as you can see, I managed to make it looks like ‘kuah kacang’ and guess what? It actually tastes good… (of course not as flavorsome as my mom’s…huhu…).

To ‘enhance’ my ‘kuah kacang’ cooking skill, I cooked it again on the fourth day of hari raya. MiZLeO is one of the lucky people that got the chance to taste my ‘kuah kacang’. And to my surprise, her nephew, Daniel liked it and gave positive comments on it (I know MiZLeO gonna give ‘encouraging’ remarks on this matter…hahaha….).

For those who have been making ‘kuah kacang’ every hari raya, this might not be anything to be proud of, but as a first timer, this is a major achievement for me (hahaha…). I’m in my learning stage…huhu…

So, I end up preparing two dishes on that particular Saturday. My Layered Bread and my mom’s Cara Berlauk. It’s quite a ‘Kan Cheong Kitchen’ that day as we (my sister and I) have to go out early (3pm) to send my brother to Klang bus station (he is currently working in Ipoh and he’ll be back for raya only on the 8^th day of hari raya…isn’t that sad? For him, at least…hehe…)

Back to the ‘Kan Cheong Kitchen’ scene in my kitchen, I actually managed (and of course with my sister as the sous chef…hehe…) to prepare both dishes and then sending my brother off on time…Alhamdulillah…

Tadaaa…these are the Cara Berlauk-my style…hehe…I know, there’s something wrong with the shape, but my mom cannot find the acuan, so we decided to use that acuan and you know what? I actually like it that way as I can stuff in more inti on it… yumm… yumm… hehe…

Enjoy the pictures..hehe…

Time baru2 nak masak...Kena tutup, so that both bahagian atas and bawah masak...

And for any of you that is interested in making the dish, below is the recipe…Selamat mencuba!!!hehe… (recipe dalam bahasa melayu ye…seksa kalau nak pikir term2 masakan in English…saya budak baru belajar…hehe..)

Layered Bread (Roti Pizza)

Bahan-bahan:

1 buku                    roti (jumbo size)

400-500 g              daging kisar/ daging burger (7-8 keping)

10                            frankfurters 

3 biji                        bawang besar (dipotong dadu)           

1-2 biji                    capsicum  (dipotong dadu)

1 tin                        button mushroom (dipotong dadu)

3 sudu besar        rempah sup

5-8 biji                    telur (dipukul)

Sayur-sayuran (tomato, carrot, etc.)

Garam

Cheese

Black pepper (optional)

Oregano (optional)

Cara-cara:

Untuk masak topping or filling ( so contradictive kan…topping ke filling..hehe..), tumis bawang hingga naik bau. Masukkan daging. Kacau hingga separuh masak. Campurkan rempah sup dengan sedikit air dan tuang ke dalam kuali. Masukkan frankfurters yg telah dihiris nipis2. Masukkan garam, oregano dan black pepper. Kacau sebati. Masukkan capsicum, mushroom dan sayur-sayuran. Kacau sehingga semua bahan masak.

Potong kulit roti. Dalam dulang pembakar, susun roti sehingga penuh dulang. Letakkan topping dan tuang telur ke atas topping (jangan byk sgt-just nk bagi topping melekat). Taburkan cheese. Susun selapis lagi roti dan lakukan seperti tadi tapi jangan letak cheese lagi.

Bakar dlm oven pada suhu 170-180^o Celsius selama lebih kurang 20-30 minit atau sehingga telur masak (nampak kuning2 atas roti), kemudian taburkan cheese dan oregano. Bakar sekali lagi (dalam 5-10 minit) sehingga cheese cair dan kelihatan terliur untuk di makan..hehe…

It’s easy, right? So jangan malu2 nak cuba…and wait for my next-next entries for other recipes…Cara Berlauk and Baked Macaroni with Cheese…yummy..yummy…hehe…

Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed that the interior design of the restaurant is quite different with other mamak restaurants (you’ll know what I’m saying if you’re staying in Shah Alam). There’s a sense of modernization other than the same old look that possessed by regular mamak restaurants.

While looking at the menu, I asked Amie and Ziemah what should I order because the menu seems to have hundreds of roti (canai) and thousands of naan for me to choose. After flipping the menu for about 15 minutes (that’s normal for indecisive person like me), I finally ordered naan cheese which very much expected by Amie and Ziemah based on my passion for cheese all this while. Amie and Ziemah settled on naan ayam and naan daging.

Naan Ayam

Naan Ayam lagi..

After the anticipated foods arrived, I was a bit shocked by the size of the serving. It was quite big for a single serving, and it sure does look scrumptious. Without wasting any time, the three of us ‘gobbled’ on our foods and there were silence for the first few minutes as we enjoyed the taste of our meals. Even though I’m not a big fan of naan, I actually like it and thought it was very tasty. I still remember the taste, the aroma and of course the mouth-watering flow of cheese that came out from the bread when I cut it while it was still hot.

Naan Cheese..nyum..nyum...

And to add to that, the next time I was at Barra, I ordered the same thing but it was a take away. After an hour journey (due to the traffic) back home, and another hour left on the table, the bread was still surprisingly soft. Maybe I did exaggerate a bit, but all in all, it was good. I like it, but sadly, it was not meant to be an every day-meal. Imagine the flow of calories and fats run through your body as the hot tasty cheese flow out of the bread. It’s sinful! Hahaha…
