Dad,Happy Birthday....

Yay! Happy birthday to Dad!

Ugly on the outside but Gooey...on the inside.
Oh so good........

Look Out! The Lava is OOZING OUT!!

星期二，15thFebuary，也就是火辣辣情人節的第二天。
那天，是我親愛的爸爸55大壽。
該算是大壽吧？都已經是五字頭了。
今年我爸爸的生日過得超“富豪”的。他竟然要到高不可攀的高級牛扒餐廳
---THE SHIP，吃晚餐也！
前幾天晚上問他要怎麽慶祝的時候聽到這個答案，我傢三姐妹都驚訝得目瞪口呆。
但是試想想下又覺得不誇張，爸爸都五十幾嵗人了，去高級餐廳吃東西的次數連五根手指都嫌少。作爲女兒的我們是不是應該敬老，報恩呢？
Seriously say,父母的恩我們是永遠都報不完的。不過我覺得我們該要盡我們的全力去討他們開心.....
雖然有時他們常常get不到我們這一代年輕的笑話，
有時甚至連一句話都要重復三四次，
有時也會覺得他們的動作很摸...很慢，
講話ngam-cham 也要重復講幾次.....

但是回想起來，
當年
我們小的時候，
我們既不是一直問這個問那個，
他們回答了我們，我們還是繼續問。
有時我們的動作太過快，太活躍，蹦蹦跳跳的，
他們也不是要花費體力把我們抓回來...

想著想著，
請他吃一餐，算什麽？
我請過他們多少餐？
我自己又吃了他們多少餐？
我人長這麽大，是誰把我喂來的？

爸爸說，那餐最讓他開心的是
我們一家人在一起的時光。
Not an Ordinary時光,
是和和氣氣的，沒有吵鬧憤怒妒嫉狠毒dan lain lain...
這是很難得的。
對我們來說，真的是很難得的。
說真的，在家裏有哪一天是不會發生爭執的？
應該說，
只要有人在一起一段時間都會有不和現象發生。----------凱羚不合現象定律。

我真得很希望每一天，seriously,每一天，
上帝的同在，合睦，喜樂，是每一天的，大大的，充滿我們。

好，講回來，這粒小蛋糕。
話説，今年是我重要人生考試之期。
本來已經被媽媽限制不能常常進去廚房，再加上今年考試的壓力，
我更加不用想好好的投入學習我的烘培興趣了。
不過這次因爲是我傢老大生日，至少要做一點簡單的糕點以誠敬意一下。
我老豆平時最喜歡我熱熱出爐的產品，還有他最喜歡吃乳烙蛋糕。
熱熱出爐的產品，我第一個就想到這個爆漿巧克力蛋糕。
乳烙蛋糕製作過程比起這個巧克力蛋糕複雜一點 （雖然是很容易），
所以我決定 give this Lava Cake a SHOT!

Recipe adapted from Min's blog.
食谱： (3份） (参考蓝赛珍的‘我会烘焙’)

A:

• 牛油 70g
• 黑巧克力， 切小块 70g

B:

• 细糖 45g
• 香草精 1/2tsp
• 鸡蛋，打散 2个
• 盐 1/8tsp

C:

• 面粉，过筛 28g

1. 材料A隔水加热煮至溶解及滑， 离火， 冷后加入材料B搅拌至光滑。
2. 加入材料C, 搅拌至均匀 （不可搅拌太久）。
3. 准备3个耐热的小玻璃碗， 涂上油， 将巧克力混合料倒入碗至3/4满。
4. 放入预热160'C的烤箱， 烤大概12-15分钟至外层凝固但布丁中心依然滑润而且有点凹陷的形状。
5. 让布丁放5分钟稍冷， 用小刀在边沿环绕一圈， 小心将布丁取出。
6. 趁热享用。

我還特地爲了這個爆漿蛋糕製作了homemade milky Ice cream.
熱熱的爆漿蛋糕配上冷冷creamy的雪糕，
真是人間美味啊！
我知道，這個甜點與配搭本來應該是給將來的阿納塔的，
不過，我爸爸也是我的阿納達啊，家人version的啦！

半夜十一點多從BukitBintang回家拍的照。
大家都很累了，但是臉上的笑容還是燦爛的真實。

Let's have some chocolates...

It's Valentines Day.

For me, it's chocolate-exchanging-day.
Today,some received a lot of chocolates, probably the popular,funny and active one.
But, some with just a few,
some didn't even get a piece of jelly bean.

Tonight you might see a lot of couples walking on the street,
sweet hearts kissing each other,
males making females happy with flowers, or maybe boyfriends cooking for their honeys.

Obviously, I'm not one of them. I'm with the 'Singles' .
Valentine's Day means friendship day for singles.Don't misunderstand me! I'm proud of being single in my age right now.
I love my friends, and I love chocolates.
So in this very Romantic atmosphere...
I decided to make some chocolate truffles for my lovely classmates.

A lot of people spent a lot of money in buying chocolates.
Let me tell you, don't let Forrero Rocher or Cadbury or maybe Lindt earn your money .(I know, they taste wonderfullllllllll....) You can make your own. You can even arrange the portion.

I know , maybe homemade truffles aren't that pretty and professional as the store boughts. I know they cannot compare with forrero rocher... (because Forrero s are really THAT GOOD).
But the meaning of Valentines Day or should I say, Friendship day , isn't how tasty the chocolates are (yea....quite.....), or how fancy looking your gifts are...
It's about your sincere.

Certainly now is too late for making Valentines treat.
You can make them next year, if the world hasn't End. (yea, next year is 2012!! haha)

I made basic truffles. Tutorials from here.

Maybe a Chocolatier will be my valentine in the future.....maybe....?

Mmm...Coated with cocoa powder.....Imagine how chocolaty it is.....

cracked surface.

Obviously I made a mistake on these truffles. Too low temperature of refrigeration.I refrigerate them in the freezer...because at that time I was in a hurry for my favorite drama....hehe.

Maybe my photos aren't professional enough, but....at least... They're Wayyyy better than before which is taken with WebCam....(YaAAOOW !~)

Akhirnya, lagipun......selamat hari valentine.
