Baklava

 I bought a packet of phyllo dough during a trip to Brunei last week with Pistachio Baklava in mind as I had been keeping a tin of Iran best quality pistachios given by a friend. I was really craving for the Baklava and cannot describe enough how delicious this homemade creation when I finally got to lay it into my mouth... hehe! I was so impatience that I stole a piece the moment it came out from the oven... then another piece after pouring the syrup.... another piece an hour later and another piece once it had been cooled off with syrup nicely absorbed.... (not to mention few more after that.....hehe)! I gave myself an excuse that it was part of experiencing and tasting at different stage of readiness... The truth is it was damn delicious that I cannot stop myself from going over it again and again.... This time I truly had no guilt feeling....LOL!

Although this is my first attempt in making Baklava, I'm happy that the pastry was baked to perfect crispiness! It was still crispy even after several days and the pistachios filling also getting tastier. The sweetness of the syrup was also tolerable. Overall, I think this is one of the best dessert in my list!

Bukan mudah nak dapatkan Baklava.... eh, takda langsung pun kat Miri ni.... Kalau dah sampai tahap kempunan, meleleh2 air liur teringin, kena lah buat sendiri kan. Sebenar nya tak susah pun nak buat ni cuma bahan2 nya sukar nak dapat. Kebetulan Along pergi Brunei minggu lepas dgn kawan2 & terjumpa kulit filo ni. Kacang pistachio tu pula Along simpan dah lama semenjak dapat ole2 dari Iran sebab memang nak buat baklava dari dulu lagi. Alhamdulillah, tercapai idaman hati.... masyaallah sedap sangat2 buatan sendiri sebab boleh olah ikut selera. Along suka baklava yang tidak terlalu kuat bau rempahnya dan manis nya pun Along adjust supaya tidah manis melampau. Makan panas2 pun sedap.... lepas tu test lagi sejam selepas nak bandingkan rasa nya.... bila dah siap 4 jam kendian, test lagi & makin sedap! Pekena dgn kopi o kaw.... aduh, boleh abis setalam kalau tak control perasaan....kakakaah...

Upside-Down Orange Cake

 My colleague requested for orange cake again after I made for them here. However, I was so tempting to try out something else with orange slices baked at the bottom. This version produced denser and heavier cake than the one before.... I received mixed feedback and almost equal votes for both versions. I personally like the lighter and fluffier cake i.e. the first version. Furthermore, the orange slices turned out a bit bitter but some don't mind that at all.

Cream Cheese Rolls

These cookies look like Pineapple Rolls but is not..... it has no filling and made of cream cheese... cheesy and melt in the mouth.... The recipe is taught by the famous Chef Rashid from Kuching so very popular in Sarawak. Sharing here to show the special cookies in Sarawak but I hope you understand why I'm unable to share the recipe.... I have no licence to do so.... you got to attend his class and if I freely share here then no one will attend his class anymore.... right?

The cookies are very tiny.... Love to see them dancing on the red carpet.....

Along nak tunjuk satu lagi biskut yang popular di Sarawak ni.... Kalau kat Sarawak, ianya selalu di jual di musim perayaan. Nampak macam Tart Nenas tapi tak sama langsung sebab rasa nya lemak2 cheese, gebu cair di mulut dan takda inti. Sedap sangat dan mengasyikkan.... Maaf ya, Along tunjuk jer tapi tak dapat nak kongsikan resepi nya sebab biskut ni di ajar oleh Chef Rashid yang terkenal dari Kuching. Beliau banyak menganjurkan kelas2 baking. Kalau Along kongsikan di sini nanti tentulah mengganggu sambutan kelas beliau. Along pun takda kebenaran untuk kongsikan dgn public.... harap anda pun faham kan.
