Marble Pumpkin Kuih ~ 大理石南瓜糕


The texture of this 'kuih' resembles somewhat like jelly and is most appropriate to serve as a snack or a dessert after a meal.  It's best served chilled as it's light and refreshing, especially after a heavy and sumptuous meal, like our Chinese New Year reunion dinner!

Marble Pumpkin Kuih ~  大理石南瓜糕 (adapted from 'Here' with some changes)
Ingredients
(Pumpkin layer)

  • 600 ml water
  • 65 gm green pea flour
  • 200 gm mashed pumpkin
  • 150 to 160 gm sugar
(Coconut layer)

  • 150 ml coconut milk
  • 160 ml water
  • 25 gm green pea flour
  • 40 gm sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 to 5 pandan/screwpine leaves 
Method
  1. Mix all the ingredients for pumpkin layer and cook on low heat till the batter starts to thicken.
  2. Pour the batter into an oiled, 8 inch square pan.
  3. Mix all the ingredients for coconut layer and cook on low heat till the batter starts to thicken.
  4. Pour the coconut batter onto the pumpkin batter.
  5. Swirl with a skewer to create a marble effect.
  6. Steam on medium heat for 40 mins. till the kuih is cooked.  It may be wobbly but it will firm up upon cooling.
  7. Let the kuih cool completely in the pan which may take several hours before slicing up to serve.  Or you can wrap it up with cling film and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours or leave it overnight.

Happy New Year to all my readers and friends

 May the Year of the Rooster brings you much Joy, Good health 
and Prosperity!

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'.
