Tartlet Filling I - Durian Cheesetart

 Hello everyone.... here I am showing off my cute tartlets which have long gone into the people's stomach... They are so cute and easily chomped just by one (if you have big mouth like my hubby's) or two  (like in my case) bites....LOL!

 The durian filling is my hubby's idea.... we always have stock of durian in the freezer all year round, so it was not a problem to fulfill the request. I couldn't find any interesting durian-filled tartlets in the internet so decided to create something on my own. My imagination went wild again and thinking of creamy durian flesh hidden underneath of cream-cheese filling.... I didn't want to use raw durian worrying fermentation effect after an overnight in the fridge so here what I came up with.... I am so satisfied with it especially watching the expression from my hubby's and CikTie's.... there was ummmmph & ahhhhh sound along the bites.....hahahaaa....

Tartlet Pastry

 I made this a couple of days ago and half already gone before I can make a proper filling. Liana eats them like cookies without filling and I ate them with jam. The pastry cases can keep long in air-tight container and the filling can be prepared later when required.

I'm posting the pastry recipe only in this entry because I received several requests in the facebook. I will share some of the filling recipes at later entries.

Along kongsikan resepi kulit cawan tart jer dulu sebab ada beberapa permintaan sebelum sempat nak buat inti nya. Resepi ni tak berapa manis, so boleh letak filling pedas juga. Nak tengok filling apa Along buat, tunggu entri kendian ya. Kulit ni rasa nya seperti biskut dan boleh simpan lama dalam bekas kedap udara. Inti nya boleh buat bila2 di perlukan kendian. Kat rumah ni, tak sempat nak buat filling Liana syok jer makan camtu jer sebab dia kata rangup.

Manok Pansuh (Bamboo Chicken)

 This is Sarawak traditional dish which typically cooked in a bamboo and served during special occasions like Gawai, etcs. However, I cooked mine in a pressure cooker and managed to get the similar flavour and texture except bamboo aroma but I don't feel it such a big deal because the aroma from the herbs is sufficiently appetising. Besides that this is a healthy dish because of natural flavour and non-oily.

Minggu ni cuti Hari Gawai seminggu.... synonim dengan Hari Gawai, tetiba teringin pula nak makan lauk Ayam Pansuh yang kebiasaan nya di hidangkan oleh kaum Iban/Dayak/dll natives di Sarawak ni. Tak lengap duduk di Sarawak ni kalau anda tak merasa masakan ni. Walau pun bahan2 nya simple tetapi rasa ayam nya manis dan harum apabila di masak di dalam buluh seperti membakar lemang. Nak bakar dalam lemang banyak pula kerja nya.... so Along pun experiment & masak dalam pressure cooker.... alhamdulillah, rasa nya 99% perfect to my liking... ayam nya lembut, 'manis' dan sebati dengan bau2an herba. Masakan begini juga lebih sihat sebab tidak berminyak.

Tinkerbell Pink Cake

 Hi all readers.... apology for been silence for quite a while... am having a break for a while to relax my body and mind... time to clear many overdue chores while I'm having a week break from works during Gawai Holiday. It has been a week since Liana's birthday and only now am posting the cake and recipe.... I am on Global Corporate Challenge (GCC) and hence I need to be on move all the time in order to strike 10,000 step everyday for 100 days. Sitting down behind the computer too long is no longer a choice for now.... Anyway, I have striked over 13,000 steps today and can afford to enjoy late supper and am stealing sometime tonight to do this update while waiting for the food to be digested before bedtime... hehe!

 Liana made a request for her birthday cake months ago that she wanted a Tinkerbell cake with leafy gown. We just returned from our long distance trip which was few days before her birthday. I had time only on her birthday itself to look for a Tinkerbell doll but to no success and instead found the tiny ones. So I had to modify an ordinary doll into a Tinkerbell by replacing her hair with yellow fondant.... As for the cake, it was an easy choice as Liana always like pink cake. So I made a four-tone pink cake and happy with the outcome.

I used my favourite White Butter Cake and color it pink. The outcome is very nice lovely pink.

INGREDIENTS:
225g Butter
350g Sugar
150g Egg Whites
430g Plain Flour*
1½ tbs Baking Powder* (*sifted together) 
300ml Fresh Milk
METHOD:
1. Cream butter & sugar until white & fluffy.

Add in egg whites bit by bit while beating.
Add in flour* & milk alternately until well mixed.
2. Prepare 3 diffrent sizes of round tin: 8", two 5", 3" muffin.
3. Divide cake mixture into four portion suitable for the different sizes.
Color them into four different tones of pink by adjusting amount of color liquid.
4. Bake at 170C for 30 minutes or until cooked.
Cool on rack before slicing and topping.
5. Use the 8" round as a base platform. Cover with fondant.
Stack the remaining three cakes, layer with whipped cream and slice into gown shape.
Decorate as illustrated below.

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera kekawan semua dan para pembaca yang di kasihi. Ini entri terlewat sebab nak berihat sebentar... tambahan pula musim cuti umum Gawai ni, banyak kerja2 yang perlu di dahulukan. Walau bagaimana pun, Along tetap akan kembali ke udara apabila masa mengizinkan.

Kek harijadi Liana pada tahun ni, mama dia buat sendiri atas permintaan Liana yg mahukan kek Tinkerbell. Patung Tinkerbell tak jumpa pun dah cari merata2, so mama dia pandai2 ler modify sendiri.... Along botakkan patung yg biasa tu dan buat rambut & sanggul Tinkerbell menggunakan fondant... kendian letak patung2 Tinkerbell yg cenoni jer tu.... bukan main gembira lagi Liana terjerit2 riang tak sabar nak potong kek dia...

 Ada sedikit kesilapan pada teknik... Lainkali kena guna buttercream untuk salut di bawah fondant tu. Along guna whipped cream dan ia kurang stabil... skirt daun tinkerbell tu berat sebab di buat dari fondant so dia melurut ke bawah... kena lah Along patch up semula dgn meletak bunga di tengah2 nya... tu yang jadi comot pula sedikit.

Kek di dalam nya pula, Along guna White Butter Cake sebab senang untuk di warnakan dan cantik. Along guna empat tone warna pink supaya nampak lebih ceria dan menyelerakan sebab Liana memang suka kek warna pink.
