Longan Tofu

This recipe was given by my Mum. I made this today, thanks to the humid weather now. I feel sticky almost everyday and of course very very hot! So I decided to make something which can cool and freshen myself. This is actually a very simple dessert but I had tried failing a few times too...lol...why failed? The boiling part is really important ok? Must remember and take note.

A cup of cooling dessert for the hot and unbearable weather is the best!!

Here's the recipe:-

Ingredients:-
1 Packet of Agar Agar powder
8 Bowls of water
1 Bowl of Evaporated milk
1 Bowl of Sugar
2 Cans of Longan
1 Can of Honey Sea Coconut

Directions:-
1. Mix all ingredients together in a pot, give it a good stir.

Brand of Agar Agar powder and evaporated milk I used.

Type of bowl I used for measuring the ingredients.

2. Bring the pot of mixed ingredients to the fire and boil. Stir the mixture for awhile and leave it to let the heat warm the mixure up. After mixture is being heated up, stir for a little while again and leave in the heat again to boil.

3. You should be able to see many small white bubbles floating on top of the mixture. See picture.

This is still not ready yet...

4. Continue to let the mixture boil until see big bubbles appeared. See video.

                                     

Now your mixture is ready!!

5. Remove from heat let the mixture cool down for awhile before pouring into an airtight container. Let mixture cool down completely .

6. Put into fridge and let mixture to harden. After mixture is harden, cut into pieces and add in cans longan and honey sea coconut.

Enjoy your dessert!! It's best to serve cold!

Chocolate Mud Cake

This is one of my favourite Chocolate flavoured cake. And of cos is my Dad's favourite too. He's a very BIG fan of any delicious chocolate cakes. When Mum tasted this mud cake, she said this was very nice, moist cake and of cos not too sweet. This cake is easy to make and I like the bitter sweet taste, moist of this tasty mud cake. I like to top the mud cake with some hot chocolate glazing and have it with a cup of hot tea :)
