Yam Rice (Taro Rice 芋头饭）

近来很少爬部落，没时间上贴没心情写文章选新食谱，名单排位虽然没落得倒数第一名但也惨不忍睹! 经营了几个年头的部落， 心如冷了那还能谈些什么，今年还是要加把劲，多上几道好菜肴!

I like to eat Bak Kut Teh (pork rib garlic pepper soup) with Taro or Yam rice, how about you? This cooking was done last November, still a long list of back log to clear.

This dish is not complicated but there are a few steps and lot of slicing need to be done before hands. However, after stir fry the ingredients I moved it into rice cooker and let it continue the other half of the cooking process, so it is really painless to cook Yam Rice \^o^/  It was an attempt worth trying as the end result is satisfying aromatic yam rice! I love to have my yam rice with Bak Kut Teh! Recipe from Rasa Malaysia.

Fried Lo Bak Gou (Pan Fired Radish Cake) 煎罗卜糕

回到自己的空间是兴奋的，我的厨房！专心的为家人準备每一道点心菜肴，把人和人之间的是非都放下，关在窗外了。

今天是2014的最后一天，跨年和家人在一起就开心了！为家人弄了我好喜欢的点心。。。煎罗卜糕！这是从小就喜欢吃的。罗卜糕是很容易弄的只要在炒时把白罗卜炒熟，蒸时得蒸透米糊那罗卜糕就会很好吃。

I'm thrill to be able to come back to my kitchen, concentrate to bake and cook for my family, a personal space that is calm and able to quiet my heart.

Today is the last day of year 2014, year-crossing to 2015 I have made fried radish cake or fried lo bak gou as a snack for my love one. It is easy to make, no complicated steps, just need to fry the radish properly and steam the radish mixture until translucent then you will get a satisfying end product. A crispy crust with a soft inner radish cake! Yummylicious! The steamed radish cake can be stored in freezer for later consume. Thaw the radish cake in room temperature before pan fry.     

The recipe is from Eileen and referring to Cass also. I omitted the dried shrimps in it and add a bit of salt so Gabriel can take the fried radish cake safely.

Nutella Cheesecake

Hi I'm back from holiday! 

This December to me is filled with love, fun and friendship. How about yours? I didn't make myself overeating or over busy during the break. I was inspired to bake this Nutella Cheesecake by a friend who had baked it, when I saw it I gamely told her I want a slice too, she brought two big slices to me wrapped in crumpled aluminium foil... it was heart warming! That was one of the most delicious Nutella Cheesecake I ever tasted. She is talented in many ways that she herself may not feel so, she has a beautiful personality.

I found a Nutella Cheesecake recipe on Internet (Rasa Malaysia's website) but as you know me ...always like to change the recipe here and there to suit the ingredients I have in hands. I measured and recorded the method so I can replicate it next time. The best part of this cake is, it can be done with hand whisk! This Nutella Cheesecake is for a party which I'm going to attend, if you like heavy creamy cheesecake, this is for you! 

Wish you a Successful and Awesome 2015!!
