Nasi Bukhari

 Sharing another menu that I prepared for Raya recently. Quite a preparation due to long a list of ingredients but I'm not complaining since it was for a special occasion and during a long weekend.

I'm posting the recipe only in BM since it is a long one and am having neck pain again at the moment. If anyone needs it in English, please shout & will find time later to do so.

Acar Sayur (Pickled Vegetables)

 This was one of my recent Aidil Adha menu to serve along Bukhari Rice. This veg dish is typically served during Malay wedding and special occasion - very suitable for big serving because it can stay crispy for long - in fact the longer it is kept the crispier the vegetables become.

Double Cheese Chocolate Tiramisu

 I dedicate this post to a colleague Anatasia whom I have just gotten to know.... we talked passionately about food and she was drooling when I told her about my own Tiramisu recipe creation. In order to share the recipe with Anatasia, I decided to make this for Raya Aidil Adha few days ago which was also due to popular demand from the two boyz as well as a couple of good friends (Captain Hamidon & Hatta).

To imitate the soft mascarpone cheese texture (or Zabaglione), I've added whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and the texture is almost there although taste wise my two boys still prefer Tiramisu using mascarpone cheese. I think this recipe produces lovely soft texture just the way I wanted....

I replaced the typical sponge fingers with salt-cheese crackers because I don't really like the taste & texture of sponge fingers and that is how I came up with the name "Double Cheese". Another twist I made is adding chocolate spread between each layers for an extra kick as I find the standard Tiramisu is just boring plain cheesy taste. The overall outcome is really awesome....!!!

2 packet Salt-cheese Crackers (didn't use all)

b. Spread Chocolate Hazelnut Spread to cover the biscuit layer.

d. Repeat layering with biscuits --> choc spread --> cream cheese mixture.
e. Lastly, sprinkle cocoa powder on the top surface (sprinkle more cocoa powder before serve).

3. Chill overnight before serve.
Enjoy!

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

Resipi ni dah lama Along hasilkan & sangat popular kat rumah ni dgn anak2 Along. Kalau buat sekejap jer licin, juga kawan2 rapat Along yg selalu jer dapat merasa setiap kali Along buat ni. Resipi ni Along tujukan kepada kenalan baru Anatasia drpd jabatan tempat kerja. Juga Along tujukan kepada E-na@Lovely Kitchen, Nor@Secubit Garam dan Fiza Nordin yg usya2 Along kat facebook waktu Along tayang menu Hari Raya Haji beberapa hari lalu.

Resepi Tiramisu ni ada kelainan sebab Along tak guna sponge fingers (Along tak suka rasa & tekstur nya) tapi menggunakan biskut keju masin, menjadikan Tiramisu ni double cheese flavour! Juga ada lapisan chocolate supaya tidak jemu dgn hanya rasa cheese. Tekstur cream cheese nya pula Along lembutkan dgn mencampurkan whipped cream supaya lembut ala2 mascarpone cheese walaupun dari segi rasa mungkin tak sama dgn mascarpone cheese yg lebih di gemari oleh anak2 Along (they all ni pasal makan memang pandai komen...).

ok lah, meh semak resepi nya.

Bandung Selasih & Kembang Semangkuk

 Just to show you how Kembang Semangkuk looks like below in case anyone has not seen/eaten it before. I don't know what is the dried fruit called in English. To prepare, soak the fruit in a bowl of water and it will be fully opened up after 10-15 minutes.

To prepare the Bandung, mix evaporated milk, rose syrup, ice, soaked basil seeds & Kembang Semangkuk..... very cooling! The Malay old folks said this drink can cool down overheated body.
