Bubur Asyura Sarawak

Ashura day fell on 10 Muharam on Muslim calendar i.e. it was Tuesday 6th December this year. The common culture in Malaysia was to fast on the day & serve Bubur Ashura to neighborhood to denote the historical significance during the war. Food were scarce during the war,  so everybody donated whatever they had which made up of wheat, barley, assorted beans, corn, etcs & cooked them jointly into Bubur Asyura. Various places in Malaysia will have different version, some are sweet and some are savoury; on the other hand whilst some are in porridge form, some others are in pudding/kuih form. In Sarawak, typically are savoury in porridge form.

I received a bowl of Bubur Ashura from thoughtful CikTie.... first time I tried the Sarawak version & wow... I like it a lot - really tasty & filling. Thanks so much for being thoughtful always.

According to CikTie, she mix beef soup, rice, barley, green/red beans....(CikTie anything else...? I forgot what you told me) into a slow cooker.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Pertama kali Along merasa Bubur Asyura Sarawak .... terima drpd kawan rapat CikTie.... sedaaaap nyaaaa... kalau tak rasa tak tau!

Kata CikTie, nak buat ni senang - campak semua bahan2 ke dlm slow cooker - sup daging, barli, kekacang... lain2 tu Along tak ingat lah pulak.... nanti nak kena tanya semula & insyaallah nak cuba buat nanti.

Baby Doughnuts (Doughnuts III)

Shaping & decorating these little doughnuts was so much fun. I made them for Liana's bento to school today. It was her 3rd day in school warming up for her real entry next year. I made three differnet shapes - doughnut / round / oval with assorted toppings and filling. She loves the pink decorated doughnuts and not other colors.

 I called them baby doughnuts because they are so tiny... see photo below, you can see that they are smaller than grade B egg! Children will love it... also suitable size for adults on diet...hehe.

Baby doughnut ni lebih kecil dari sebiji telur saiz B

 See below the bite through texture.... very soft and kept well until the next day. Suitable for early preparation for bento to school.

See the soft texture. This one is injected with wild blueberry jam.

Actually I made almost similar potato doughnuts earlier at here.

She is from Batu Kurau and my foster sister who used to live with us when I was young... I miss her delicious spicy fried rice but the one I make here can never be better than hers.

Curry Puffs IV (Karipap Rangup)

 Had a piece of hot curry puff fresh from a wok and with a cup of coffee in the evening.... sitting quietly in the side patio with soft breeze and overlooking my newly arranged flower pots... what a relaxing mind... I wanted to forget everything else but just the curry puffs... hehehe!

This time I tried another version of curry puff pastry. It is almost similar to the one I posted earlier here except this one uses hot oil instead of margarine. Truely crispy but make sure you fry long enough so that it cooked till the inside layers.
