Mango Mochi

Since I have some mangos from my recent visit to hometown, I thought I should try this appealing looking Mango Mochi I saw in "Do What I Like" blog by Florence.

The skin is not so sweet and suitable for those who like natural taste of fruit but for sweet tooth like myself I will make it sweeter if the fruit filling is not sweet enough. I love the texture of the mochi skin which is soft and chewy and nice eaten warm or chilled. However, if you're using fresh desicated coconut as coating, I would advice you to cook it for a while in microwave as coconut can easily go bad.

The original recipe suggest to use rubber gloves to shape the mochi but I have illustrated my own method below:

INGREDIENTS (produce about 30 pieces):
300g Glutinous Rice Flour
60g Rice Flour
1 tbsp Coconut powder
1½ tbsp Corn oil
200ml Hot water + 45g sugar - stir until dissolved
160ml Evaporated Milk
240ml Mango juice
Few drops Yellow coloring
2 ripe mangoes - diced into small cubes
Dry/fresh Dessicated coconut - for coating

Method:
1. Mix glutinous rice flour, rice flour and santan powder into a big mixing bowl.
Add in the oil, hot water/sugar mixture, evaporated milk & mango juice.
Stir while adding each ingredient gradually untill well blended and smooth.
Strain if mixture is lumpy.

2.Pour batter into a greased container and steam on high heat for 30 minutes.
Remove from steamer and stir the cooked dough with a flat plastic knife till it is smooth. Leave aside to cool.

3. Spread some desicated coconut on a small plate. Drop a spoon of dough onto the coconut spread and flatten it into a round disc, wrap in as much mango cubes as desired. Seal the edges tightly and shape it into round balls. Coat the shaped mochi with dessicated coconut.

6. Serve right away or chilled.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to first of all my husband, a father to my three boys!!! I love you very much and may Allah bless our happiness forever! Here are messages typed by the boys for you:

Rizal: "Abah is the reason why my world goes round!"

Rusydi: " Yo Abah... You Rock Being My Dad !!!"

Radhi: "You're the best in my heart!!!"

They all like to say thank-you for a lot of sacrifice you made to give them the best of all!

The boys chosen the following gifts for their dad yesterday - matched shirt, tie, cuff links and handkerchief set for Father's Day. Also, they chose Nokia N95 equipped with wireless internet for his coming birthday (which is next week) but the boys are too excited to wait next week & decided to hand all at one time :

Prayers and al-fatihah for my arwah Abah semoga di cucuri rahmat and my prayers are always for you. Special wishes to my father-in-law, my five brothers and two brothers-in law on this special day. Lastly,

Happy Father's Day

to all dads in the world!

Balik Kampong

Best nya balik kampung, jumpa Emak, adik-beradik, sanak-pinak..... Rasa nya seminggu tu kejap bebeno tak sempat nak buat apa pun.... Anyway, memang sonok jumpa sedara-mara bila dah lama tak jumpa, cuma tak sempat nak jumpa my sis Nani & Lang sekeluarga. Ini gambar my last two nephew yang ke 28 (Danish - kanan gambar) dan ke 29 (Izzarif - kiri gambar):
Yang best nya dapat makan masakan Emak. Macam selalu Emak memang sibuk memasak makanan kesukaan anak2 bila kami balik. Along suka makan masakan kampung spt sayur Salang (takde kat Swk ni), Daging masak Lemak Minang, Rendang Merah Ayam, Jering & sambal Kuinin sambal tumis petai. Aisehmen punya syok bantai takde snap gamba lah pulak.

Tapi yang tak best nya balik kali ni, we all accident kat highway at Ipoh. Tiba2 je ada lori langgar dari belakang while tengah steady driving. Memang salah dia lah, kata nya brek tak makan. Alamak, ketaq lutut sebab terpaksa berenti tengah2 highway sebab bahu jalan di tutup dengan pengadang. Demi keselamatan anak2 we all beres je kes tu sebab tak nak dok lama2 kat situ. Takut kang kena ram dik lori2 yg laju gila.

Tak banyak shopping kali ni ada lah sikit2 buah tangan. Nampak biasa je tapi kat Sarawak benda2 ni susah nak dapat:

a. Ini Roti Totilla & Roti Pita wholemeal
So pagi ni breakfast kebab lah.

b. Baulu Coklat Urai

c. Rempeyek Kacang - nampak rangup lah pulak
d. Musim buah mangga, so beli lah nak kasi sedara-mara kat Sarawak ni :

e. Keropok ikan memang wajib beli setiap kali balik Semenanjung. Apek taxi pun dapat jugek sebungkus - cian dia fetch kita orang tengah2 malam. f. Dua bungkus Keropok Lekor, hadiah dari adik ipar bungsu. TQ ya Syuk adikku yang pandai bodek...hehe

g. Ingat nak bawa balik kerang banyak2 tapi kes malas nak mengopek. Tengok2 kat freezer Emak ada yang dah kopek tu rembat je bawak balik (caya tak kerang berkulit kat Miri ni RM8 sekilo) Part yang paling best on this trip ialah yang berikut nya....jeng...jeng...jeng....hahahaha aku dah berjaya merembat dua barangan ni:

New Toy lah - Sony Cyber-Shot untuk menggantikan Sony camera ku yg dah berumur 7 tahun tu....hehehehe. Harap2 nya gamba kat blog ni terang le sikit in the future....hehehe. TQ ya Darling hubby sebab belanja....!

Dan yang terakhir sekali the last & the best sebelum berlepas sempat lak pulak rembat jam tangan ni kat KLIA.....kehkehkehkeh....Hepi nya....dah lama mengidam baru lak mendapat... tapi yang ni bayar sendiri....puas hati le....hehehehe
