Screw KFC

You know what I hate?

The taste of KFC.
Yeah, you should know what it tastes like. Unless you're one of those rich kids who haven't eaten a single fast food meal in their life.

That horrible and disgusting taste of coke, coleslaw, mash potatoes, and fried chicken all wrapped up on your tongue.



Some sorta like this just minus the fake tortillas.


Yeah well it sucks. And I hate it. Screw you KFC.

bakeddd againnnn

... Okay I know this is my 3rd post within a 24 hours span but just let me be, I'm under stress.


I baked! =D Again! (Cause I found out that baking is actually a really good way manage anger. Plus you can feed other people. So it's an epic win situation.)

I baked Castella/kasutera/japanese-sponge/bitch cake. Whisking with your hand alone is hell. D= Which is why I failed last time. Well anyways, this time it came out well.
Texture, smell all good. Taste not sure cause it needs to settle for a day before being cut. (Wtf right?)

I hope my brother or my dad won't suddenly get hungry and decide to scourge the kitchen for food suddenly and devour the whole thing. -__-

Life Goal

Before I die or become too old to bake, I will, WILL, WILL bake a Matcha, Lemon and Chocolate Opera cake.



Consisting of 5 parts, taking about a whole day to make and absolute hell for me. ='(
But mark my words, I will make you one day.


Recipe and photos from here. (Click it please. The baker is awesome. She could make your tummy grumble in 5 seconds.)

=D

Screw my vegan diet. Nothing gets in between my baking and me.

... Okay maybe not exactly screw it but I'll give myself 1 day of non-vegan-ness.
I used only 1 egg and 80grams of butter! Considerably less than most recipes!
Cakes require more animal killing and this is why I choose bread instead of cakes.

I made wholemeal banana, raisin and honey cinnamon rolls! And the best part was when I could see the honey dripping out of the rolls. *drools*

It took me an hour to knead the dough though cause it's my official first time baking bread without much help at all. (And instructions shouted at me by my mom is not counted. -_- )

Sad part is that after all the work I only made.... 12 rolls. And they turn stale within a day. Now that is sad.

Hope they turn out well though. They're still getting baked and rising beautifully in the oven. 8D


*And after they got out of the oven...*

They're so awesome that I don't mind that I wasted 3 hours on them! <3
Since they're fresh so they're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It isn't too sweet with means it's kinda healthy, and the banana and raisins make them sweet naturally.

Cakes can eat my shit (for now), I found a new love in bread.

Viva la Vegan?

It's been about 2 weeks since I've declared war on meat. And all I've gotta say is...

wtf don't I live in bloody america?!


They have vegan ice cream!





They have vegan butter/peanut butter/cream cheese/whatever-you-put-on-your-bread! (And bloody hell they even have almond butter)






='(

Sorry for the useless rant. It's just that I haven't tasted chicken since forever so that kinda does weird things to your brain...
But I guess I'm doing well. Whenever I'm hungry I find fruits instead of cookies.

One impossible task though... How do I bake?
0_o

where is me vodka?!

God it's 4am in the morning and I shouldn't be craving this at this time but...

man I would love some vodka right now.

All that I got in the house though is chivas and some unopened grey goose. And unopened = can't open without the owner's permission.


P/S: Anyone know where I can get those weird flavours of Absolut in Penang?

EWW.

You know the 5 Min Chocolate Cake I posted a few days ago?

WELL SHIT DON'T EVER TRY IT CAUSE IT GODDANG SUCKS.


I just tried it like 10 mins ago and eww. Sure the taste is chocolatey and stuff but god the texture is like eating a carpet. A very old carpet with cat fur on it. -___-

It was so heavy and rough and kinda... wet. Very weird feeling. It's like being dry and wet at the same time.

Oh god I just ate 1 bite and threw the rest. My stomach still feels uncomfortable though for eating such disgusting food.
You know what? I think i'm gonna try to throw up. My stomach can't take it anymore.

I bet the only people that think it's nice are the ones that rarely make their own cakes. Self-satisfaction at doing something right usually eases the tastebuds.

I think I should make some chocolate french sponge cake tomorrow to apologise to my tongue.

Sch.... weppes.

I would like to introduce you all to a little friend of mine.

Random reader, this is Schweppes Bitter Lemon.



It seems like a harmless lame drink with it's ugly and gaudy sky blue colour, but once you get a sip of this baby, you'll ask coke to eat your shit.

(Btw, it contains quinine and I'm wondering if Islamic ppl can't consume that since it is under the non-halal section of grocery stores. And no, it does not contain alcohol.)


Actually at first I didn't really like it. It just brought back annoying memories of when I was a 5 year old and was sick and refused to drink my cough medicine. I remember it tasted remotely like cough medicine and I was like 'EWW'. But I did like it for it's sour taste though.

But one day I accidentally ate an almond cookie which was salty and I don't really like salty food. But once I took a sip of the Bitter Lemon though, the Bitter Lemon tasted kinda sweet and the cookie didn't taste that bad no more. =D

And when I eat sweet stuff like candy, the bitter taste in the Bitter Lemon is almost completely gone and the sour taste is totally enhanced.

And sometimes I do like to consume bitter stuff. Not sure why. Seems i'm sadistic enough to torture my tastebuds.


My preferences depend on my moods actually and Bitter Lemon is totally awesome cause it's taste changes when you eat different stuff. =D

diet? what is that?

I have to stop making blog posts, I'm getting addicted. This is like my 4th post in a span of 24 hours.

But oh my goodness I just randomly goggled cookie and cake recipes to bake so I can fatten up everyone around me and look what I found. I think satan is going to come after me with his chocolate covered fork cause I'm promoting such sinfully beautiful things.




1. The Five Minute Mug Cake.
(Taken from here)

Yes. You heard right. Just 5 minutes to throw away your discipline and to kill humanity's morals and diets.
From the comments I can tell they eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so if you don't want to spoil your tongue rotten, please don't even think of making this.








2. Espresso Chocolate Chip Shortbread
(Picture taken from here, hope they don't mind. ;D Cause their picture looked so gorgeous. Recipe from here)

"These cookies are like money. They will soon replace currency. People will want them more than gasoline. Sorry OPEC."

That is a quote from a random user on a site recommending it. OH. MY. GOD. Just looking at it I want to lick my screen.

...
Ok I should stop saying things like that, I sound like a pedophile.





3. Mini Watermelon =D

(Taken from here)

Words cannot describe my awe and surprise. Please click the link. I cannot do it justice. And hint, not really a fruit, but it does grow from vines.




4. Chocolate bowls

(Picture taken from here and recipe from here)

It's made with balloons!



...and I'm more interested in the making process rather than the eating actually. Balloons are so cute and fun, especially the helium filled ones. And once you get bored of them you can suck the helium and use it as laughing gas.

*tummy growls*

It's 3am in the morning and I am STARVING!
The last I ate was at 7pm.
(Actually no that's a lie. That last I ate was 5 minutes ago. I snitched 2 slices of tomato.)

There's no bread, no cookies, no any food that requires no cooking.
So here I am, 3am in the morning, cooking.
Cooking what?

Egg, tomatoes and jacob crackers.
... Okay that is one sad meal. To everyone at home, don't try it.

This can't even be called cooking, this should be called 'taking whatever you can find, mashing them up, and then chucking them into a bowl'.

And hmm, be right back. I think my egg is done. (And I cooked my egg by boiling water in a microwave, taking water out and then left the egg to die in the water for 25 mins.)


*after 15 mins*

I take it back! I take it allllll back! Egg, tomatoes and jacob crackers together is the best snack ever. The egg and tomatoes are the main elements that contributes to the taste and one is salty the other is sweet while the jacob crackers tone down the taste by giving this 'plain' feeling to it. The texture is kinda fun really since the egg and tomatoes are soft while the crackers are crispy.

Oh god, it's love at first mouth. Either that or I was too hungry.

Antique Bakery

Oh god I've just finished watching Antique Bakery and... =DDDD

It makes me so happy and I really wanna bake something now. Maybe I should embrace my inner girly girl and go bake some ganache or whatever weird opera cake they were talking about in the movie. But damn ganache is just not my level. -__- I haven't even tried cake with proper chocolate whipped cream yet. I bought some whipped cream milk already but I haven't used it, wonder if it's expired yet. xD



I usually don't do this but it's hard not to swoon at a movie with random hot korean and french guys that bake things that look so cute. And don't be fooled by that trailer, the gay scenes aren't really that much. I personally think the cakes are the best thing though cause god they look so nice they could kick Secret Recipe's ass with just 1 attempt.

Sigh. Today has definitely started off on a good note. =)

Note to self: EAT.

Note: If you're on a diet, please stop reading this post at once.



1. Lok Lok at Pulau Tikus. Opposite IPG building.
Known for big portions on the stick and ho liao soup.




Should be this stall. Cause it's like the only Lok Lok stall in Pulau Tikus.

(Pics taken from here and here.)




2. Tong Sui at Mat Toh Yau



Known for their pink store and van. O_o But honestly leh, ate there before and it's pretty good. So need to go again.


... I'm hungry liao...


(Pics taken from here.)



3. Coffee and toast from Toh Soon.



This kopitiam's at Campbell street and is damn old. In my opinion, sells the best coffee and kaya toast EVER. They make my usual breakfast taste very lousy. Bought their kaya before too. Very very nice but a little more expensive than usual kaya.

(pic from here.)



4. Bee ko moi from... duno where yet.



Sigh. Been ages since I've ate it until I've forgetten when was the last time I've had a taste of it. =( Anyone know where they sell good bee ko moi?

(pic from here.)



5. Japanese food from Tao.

Quite renowned I think cause heard quite a few people talking about it already. Need to try.

(Pic from here.)



6. Char Koay Teow from Lorong Selamat



Everyone should know this aunty gua... She's like the superhero of char koay teow with her weird hat and goggles. If you dunno I seriously question if you're a Penangite. Either that or you never go out.
Known to tourist as "best char koay teow ever" and known to locals as "got lansi aunty that asks customers to self-service under the sun".
I think it's okay la since I was never a fan of Char Koay Teow since it's all oily and fat with prawns. Eww. D= I ate 2 mouths before only.
Over rated, very over rated, since I know that Penang is shit full of Char Koay Teow and in almost every lorong, hawker stall, restaurant also sells almost the same thing.
Plus this aunty sells it at 7 ringgit. WTF.

(Pic from here.)



7. Xiu Long Pao from Dragon-I at Queensbay.





... MUST EAT. Quite pricey but damn man... T_T

(Pics from here.)
