agar-agar

* this is a backdated post *

i had a collection of simple recipes from the Malaysian Women's Weekly magazines... i found a nice and simple recipe.... i tried using agar-agar powder to make some jelly.... it turned out nicely when i tried this recipe

first one was "black beauty jelly "

ingredients:

one packet of agar-agar powder (must choose clear color ones)
one can of longan/ lychee (keep the syrup)
half tube of cincau
250ml syrup from the can of longan/ lychee
700ml water
150gm sugar

instructions:

cut the cincau into small stripes
put the cincau with longan/ lychee into the desired mould
boil the agar-agar powder with the syrup water, water and sugar until bubble appears (about 5 minutes)
put off the flame and pour into the moulds
serve chilled

* hubby loves this a lot * nice to eat on a sunny day *

second recipe was modified from the first recipe... i simply call it "soya bean jelly"

ingredients:

one packet of agar-agar powder (any color, preferably clear color)
one can of longan/ lychee (keep the syrup)
200ml syrup from the can of longan/ lychee
750ml soya bean (i used packet ones)
100gm sugar

instructions

- same as the first recipe -

* the result is good, MIL loves it as it is not too sweet * plus it is a healthier choice too since we used soya bean *

JOHN KING

have you tried the pastries from John King(I initially thought it is Tom King)? this is the first time i bought from their chain at OneU..... results: not bad... but i still prefer Tong Kee's egg tarts.... at John King, you can get a variety of egg tarts namely original, green tea, coffee, durian etc...

* the nicely packed box *
* the front two is durian tarts * and the other two is original egg tarts * combo 6 pcs at RM 9.50 * (sis took the other 2 tarts before i managed to snap a photo of it *
* wife biscuits retail at RM 6.50 per box before discount* got RM 3 discount for buying the combo 6 *

08.08.08
besides the opening of Olympics in Beijing, anything special on that day?

it definitely was a special day for my handsome bro Melvin and his beautiful wife kar lai... they registered their marriage.... theirs' is a special ROM coz the customary/ traditional wedding dinner was held two years ago....

and yeah.. their ROM was held at the same place i had mine 3 years ago... and the registrar was the same lady... and guess what? i was one of their witness for their registration.... this makes it more special...
