Mango Pudding



A popular restaurant in Ipoh has recently introduced Mango Pudding as dessert in their menu.  It has received very encouraging response from its customers.  This dessert has to be pre-ordered as it's not readily available daily.  Much depends on the availability and quality of this tropical fruit from their suppliers.

This is my second attempt as the first time, the pudding didn't set at all even after being chilled overnight.  Fortunately, I stumbled upon this recipe from  redcook  and I'm very satisfied with the result.  I tweaked it somewhat and substituted evaporated milk with soymilk.

  14. I make mango pudding using fresh milk instead of soymilk and no sugar added. After tasting it, I was surprised that there was no mango flavor smell and no sweet at all. Why? Should I add sugar to enhance the flavor?

    1. You mean you expected the sweetness to come from the mangoes? You added water and milk, so even if the mangoes are very sweet, the sweetness will be diluted. You must add in sugar as stated in the recipe.

    2. Ok. I will try to add sugar. I worry about the mango flavour and the fragrant. Wondering if sugar help if added?

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge. Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy   ~    梅菜焖五花肉 Ingredients  400 gm pork belly cut into bite size 100 gm  preserved sweet mui choy 3 cloves of garlic 2 slices ginger Seasoning for the pork belly 1 Tbsp dark soya sauce 1/4 Tbsp sugar 1/4 Tbsp sesame oil 1/4 Tbsp oyster sauce 1/2 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp light soya sauce Method Season the pork belly for about an hour or more.  Set aside. Soak the mui choy for 45 mins., rinse and squeeze dry.  Cut into slices Heat some oil in the wok, fry the mui choy.  Add in the ginger slices.  Stir-fry. Add in the pork  belly, fry for a while and

Steamed minced Pork with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜蒸猪肉

This is a homey, comforting dish which you can never find on the menu of a Chinese restaurant.  Perhaps you may find it in an economy rice stall.  There are two types of Mui Choy (梅菜) or preserved mustard, one is salty while the other is sweet and in this recipe, I used the latter.  The Mui Choy lends flavour and aroma to the dish and most often is paired with pork, either minced or pork belly chunks.  In this recipe, the minced meat must be with a bit of fat, otherwise the dish will turn out dry and dense.  Give this a try and see whether you like it or not.
