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.

1 cup hot water
1 cup evaporated milk/soymilk  ( I used this)

  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?

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.

Braised Pork Ribs with Yam & Wood ear fungus

I bought this yam/taro from a wet market and the lady assured me that her yams are creamy when cooked.  She cut off a very small piece to justify her statement and true enough I saw some powdery substance on the knife.  It can be very frustrating when you end up getting a yam that's firm even when cooked for yams have a hardy taste with a minimal amount of sweetness.  But if you pair it up with some meat and fermented bean curd, the dish will be transformed into a tasty delicacy.
