RAINY-.-


+了愿快乐+

上个星期天起得特别早,大概7.30就出门了。
为的就是到天国佛堂的厨房帮忙。。。。
天国每个月都有一次的家庭读经日,读完后还提供午餐,每次都要准备1000多包的饭盒。

平常只会吃喝拉撒的我这次也想帮忙做点事,所以就答应了父母一起去。

到了厨房,就被安排到切黄瓜。。。!
他们把一把大刀交了给我, 示范了切法就将一大烂的黄瓜摆在桌上。
Woo... I had a hard time chopping them initially... but as time goes by, i started to speed up. =D

I was supposed to chop off both ends and separated the whole thing into 4 parts while another aunty will slices off its seeds & my sis will cut them into small cube (easy chewing for the young & elderly)


After we were done with the cucumber, we proceed to cut carrots! OMG
I hate those carrots.... 比黄瓜还要硬!!!! & the worst thing is that we have to chop them into very thin slices. I almost chopped off my index finger for dunno hw many times. the edge of the chopper always touches it and it became red. -.- (怕怕)But lucky its still attached on my hand now.

realising that my sis and i were pretty lousy handling carrots, we were being switched to the LONG BEAN Section. HAHA... and its pretty manageable... just that there were PLENTY of them...

Oh.. I din do the cooking of cuz....
There were professionals doing it.. hahah
& we were supposed to pack all the food into packages.


Whole thing ended at 1pm cuz we have to distribute the food and drinks to everyone b4 we can leave.

busy days2

感言:Very tired but its very meaningful. Cooking a meal isn't easy , not mentioning that we are preparing a meal for 1000 people. So Appreciate the chef's hard work & finish them all!


+Baking+

Had a baking session on Monday afternoon....
wanted to forgo the idea of baking actually....as i haven gt all the ingredients and utensils out!
BUT, i think i promised my friends that i will give them cupcake before they left sch.... & i thought the graduation dinner might be my last chance, so i diedie also must bake it.

Went to A bakery shop @ hougang & get all the ingredients there.... & then went to Ntuc to strawberries, milk, flour & etc.....

& I spent like 40bucks ! WTH.... & they were so Heavy.... Luckily i called dad & he agreed to give me a ride home! if not i will faint on the spot.


Had my lunch & a short break b4 i started baking @ 230pm!

As requested by some of my friends, I m Gonna share with u the recipe!


Step1: Baking the chocolate chip cupcakes

100g self raising flour
75g caster sugar
75g butter
2 small eggs
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp of chocolate flavoured emulco (gives us the colour Brown)
Chocolate chips (as many as you wish... or mayb 50g)
Little milk ( i usually apply 4 to 8 tsp)

>>Method:
1. place paper cup in the patty tin
2. cream butter & sugar until light & creamy
3. Add in eggs and beat well
4. Fold in flour & add a little milk to give a soft dropping consistency.
5. Add in vanilla essence & chocolate emulco
6. Pour in all ur chocolate chip!!!!
7. apply some margarine at the base of ur paper cup. so that cupcake wun stick to it.
8. fill the paper cup 3/4 full with the mixture (for our case, as we would be adding in the chocolate ganache, i only filled it to half full)

*preheat oven to 180degrees

9. Bake at 180degrees for 20 minutes!

Baking session with bf

*TINK* and after 20minutes we are done!


Step 2: Making the dark chocolate ganache (Pronounced "ger-nash")


What u would need:

360ml of whipping cream
400g unsweetened chocolate
4 tbsp liquid honey
Strawberries, to garnish


>>Method

1. heat whipping cream on low heat till surface is covered with bubbles.
Remove from heat & pour over the chocolate, covering it entirely.
2. set aside for a few minutes to allow chocolate to melt
3. stir mixture till smooth, then stir in honey
4. I add in Almonds in the chocolate as well ( Optional)
5. spoon the ganache over the cupcakes. (apply thick layer !!! )
6. Place cupcakes in the fridge to set.
7. Slice strawberries vertically and cut it into whatever shape u like!

* For best result, I used chocolate of 70% cocoa and with whipping cream with a fat content of at least 35%. *

Note: good quality chocolate makes ganache shiny and full fat whipping cream makes it thick and rich.

>>I double the amount of ingredients as i wanna bake more! For example.: i used 200g of flour, 4 eggs & 150g of sugar n butter.
>> each time i can make 16 cupcakes.
>>Total baking time 5 hrs.(maybe i m too slow... & i tried to keep the kitchen as tidy as possible)

I would like to thank bf aka helper, arvin ho hoho for helping me with all the washing and mixing when i m tired.
