Congo Bars

 This was once popular amongst the blogger but I could only manage to try it out yesterday. It was for our family picnic at the beach. The texture was moist but a bit too sweet to my preference. I'll reduce the sugar a bit if I were to make this again. Somehow the two boys and Liana didn't show an interest too, not sure why.... Overall I think it tastes good with the melting bitter chocolate chips which AlongRiz brought back from US several months ago.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
Along sekeluarga berkelah di tepi pantai kelmarin.... takda cuti panjang, jadi kita orang bersantai di Miri sahaja lah. Subuh2 lagi Along buat kek ni dan masak Mushroom Cheese Pasta. Cuaca amat baik, seronok nya Along bersantai di tepi pantai dgn angin sepoi2 sambil baca buku " A Doctor In The House" yg dah lama di beli tapi takda masa nak abiskan.... Hubby lak gi jogging kat tepi pantai & Liana main sand castle... dah berapa hari merengek2 nak main sand castel... hitam Liana berjemur tapi seronok amat. Tak sempat nak abiskan banyak membaca, tetiba AngahRuz pucat lesi sakit perut... kita pun gulung tikar jerlah & bawa dia ke Columbia Asia... rupa2 nya dia sakit perut side effect antibiotik yg dia makan sebelum ni kerana demam. Selepas tu kita orang pun terus balik rumah.....huuuuu

Kek ni popular tahun lepas tapi Along baru ni sempat mencuba. Kek nya agak manis pada selera Along, kena kurangkan sedikit gula nya. Kek nya sedap & lembab kena pula dengan bitter chocolate bits yg AlongRiz beli kat US. Entah kenapa tak laku pula kek kali ni... my two boys & Liana cam tak heran langsung.... agak nya musim demam ni selera pun kurang...
