But after a week of hard work, my room is still not completely clean, have not vacuum and wipe the floor, lots of hair and dust! Yucks! Cuz my cousin is afraid of the vacuum cleaner sound, and he kept pestering me with computer! So while i tidy up other things kept him occupied with Teletubies and Spirited Away cartoon on the comp.
On Thurs and Fri we did pineapple tarts, all purely home made, from the grinding of pineapples (there were 10 whole pineapples on sunday and we worked from 2 to 6pm) and making it dry. Low in sugar content but very tastey! One special thing abt our pineapple tarts is tat its sour too, cuz we used unripe pineapples, thus there isn't too much sugar, and the sour might help in digestion, haha (oni my opinion).
Missed out the working procces cuz i have to help to make them on the first day, cant hold cam with oily hands, and on the 2nd day have to take care of cousin, especially he is afraid of strangers (my aunt and cousin came to help).
Then one wed and thurs, my mum and neighbouring auntie made sumthing called "feng cao", beehive? Its like the traditional love letters but its in different shape. I don't recomend eatting this one, though its tastey and too, low in sugar, but it uses coconut milk and deep frying. Missed it too.
Today went to my aunt hse at Kallang to make "Kueh Bulu", its the small cakes that comes in different designs like fish, shells etc, cant figure out the others after so many years of observation. And I manage to caught them in my cam!!
Lets go thru them,
Lets start the fire burning with charcoal. My mum is great in lighting the charcoal, unlike those barbecue session with frens and they have to spend like a few hours to start the fire, she made it in a few min.
Lets wait for it to get bigger and we go on with other things.
You have to make the paste, first with eggs and sugar. Then beat them until it become air filled (dont know how to explain). Then when add flour in when u are ready to bake them.
When the fire is ready place the mould on, its veri heavy be careful, then move most of the charcoal up to the lid at the top. Then wait for it to heat it up and apply some oil to the mould.
Don't apply too much! Just a light dap with the cloth.
Then start to fill up the moulds with the paste.
After all moulds are filled, place the lid over again.
Just a few min, its ready and slowly use the pick to pick it up. Notice: the lower part might be slower cuz there are less heat, add just a few small pieces of lit charcoal not too much as it will burnt like we had quite a few today.
