The Unforgettable First Love Chocolate Cookies

Sweet chocolate cookies for your loved ones...
Got this recipe from CY. Had a great time with bloggers piggy, queenyee, cy, and dear friends miss tan, and ec.

Ingredients:
- cooking chocolate (x1 bar)
- Marie biscuit (x1 small packet)
- egg (x2)
- dried fruit - raisin
- chocolate powder
- vanilla oil



Method:

1) Break the chocolate bar into small chunks and put them into the Double Boiler to melt. The water should be warm and not boiling like below.

2) Stir the chocolate as it started to melt.

3) Keep stirring so it wont seize into lumps.
4) Prepare 2 egg yolks.
5) Beat the egg yolks to look like this.
6) Pour it into the hot chocolate.
7) Stir well.

8) Cook the mixture for a while to remove the egg smell.

9) Crunch the biscuit into the hot chocolate mixture just now.
Sorry the mixture suddenly transform to white chocolate.



10) Cover the biscuit with the chocolate mixture. Add some raisins.

11) Arrange them horizontally on an aluminium foil.

12) Fold and roll the foil like rolling sushi.
13) Fold the side of the cylinder as well.

14) Make it as compact as possible so there won't be any empty space inside.
15) Keep them in the refrigerator over the night to let the chocolate harden.

16) When it is ready, remove the aluminium foil.

17) Put cocoa powder all over it and cut them into pieces.

18) Tadaaa.... First Love Chocolate Cookies.....

Hope eating it will remind you of your first love, sweet as ever.. ^O^
You can substitute the chocolate with dark chocolate or white chocolate. Dried fruit can be strawberry, blueberry, or any types of fruit of your preference. Perhaps some kinda nuts in my next round of experiment.

Enjoy~

Red Bean Soup

Yesterday, my housemate was cooking red bean soup and I was her helper. Nothing to help though. Just look and take some snapshot so I can share the recipe with you girls. It is an easy and fast dessert to prepare.

Ingredients:
- red beans
- dried longan
- brown sugar
- pandan leaves


Method:

1) Boil a pot of water.


2) Put pandan leaves into the boiling water and boil till fragrant. Then remove the pandan leaves.
3) Add red beans and dried longan. Boil in low heat until the beans are softened or beginning to split apart.


4) Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved.

5) Serve the red bean soup hot or cold. :)

Got from this site, for the beauty-conscious, it is rumored to be great for getting rid of dark circles under the eyes! OMG is this true??? I am going to get a sack of red bean tomorrow.

Hotdog Salad

I have invented a new kinda food.. I was not sure whether this is a correct combination but I just dumped all the food that I bought at the store. I wandered around the store without a list and just picked whatever that took my fancy. As a result, they couldn't make a complete set of ingredients if I were to follow the proper recipe from the book.

Ingredients:
- sausage
- cucumber
- tomato
- egg
- Thousand Island dressing
- mayonnaise




Method:

1) Cut the sausages, cucumbers, tomatoes and eggs into bite-sized cubes.
2) Mix them all together.
3) Add thousand Island dressing and mayonnaise.
4) Stir well.
It looked ugly... hahaha... The white rats who ate this experimental dish are still alive. So this experiment is tested to be positive!

Normally i will try to stay 5 metres away from the food court entrance due to the strong smell, but this time i am willingly walk inside and let myself got smoked! haha.. and i tell u, it's worth! :)

A handful can lids from my colleague. If some of you are not aware, this can be donated to the charity organization.

Long crack on my windscreen...

The best part of all... i dont have to pay!
