Custard Teacake

 This is the most popular cake recently and I couldn't resist the temptation too.... Due to my greediness, I double the custard filling & as a result my teacake turned out to be molten cake... no regret at all, the more filling the better...! It was such a delicious cake as confirmed by everyone who has tried it but the size is too small that we finished it the moment it came out from the oven. We gave the custard no chance to set and hence it ooze out like erupted volcano....super delicious...!

 I'm in a mood for Masak Lemak Cili Padi lately. Few days ago I posted Tempe Masak Lemak and now Crab & Pineapple Masak Lemak. As usual, I used skimmed coconut milk so less creamy than the typical Perakian's version (actually the creamier the more delicious but controlling my intake for health reason).



I've been thinking about crabs lately but sea crabs are rare here and only found baby size crabs....

METHOD:

2. Cook until crabs are done.

Tapioca Rings coated with Black Sugar (Keria Ubikayu Sira Gula Hitam)

 I made this kuih again and for a different flavour, I used palm sugar for the coating and the outcome was awesome. Compared to the white sugar coating, this one is less sweet and not too crunchy. My two sons complaint that they didn't have enough.... I had more than 5 pieces myself....hehe.



Refer here for the recipe but replace the coating with 3/4 palm sugar & 1/4 white sugar.
