Pandan Ogura Cake ~ 班兰相思蛋糕


This Pandan Ogura Cake is soft, moist and light and the texture resembles that of a chiffon cake but baked in a normal cake pan.  There are many variations of ogura cake with different flavours and I've baked with Greentea and Orange flavour before.

Ingredients (A)
5 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1/4 tsp salt
65 ml canola oil
90 ml pandan juice
70 gm plain flour

70 gm caster sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Method
  1. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and whole egg till well combined.  
  2. Add in oil, pandan juice and salt, whisk thoroughly.  Sift in flour, mix well.
  3. In a clean bowl, whisk  egg whites till foamy, add in cream of tartar and gradually add in   sugar.   Whisk till stiff peaks form but not dry.
  4. Fold in 1/3 meringue into the egg mixture, mix well and then pour this mixture into the   remaining meringue.   Mix well.  Pour batter into a lined 8 inch square pan.  Tap the pan a bit to remove air bubbles.
  5. Steam bake in a preheated oven @ 150 deg.C for 60 mins.  (Place a tray of hot water on the lowest rack of the oven)
  6. Remove the cake once it's baked and invert it immediately onto a wire rack.  Remove the parchment paper.  Let cake cool completely.
  7. Trim off the edges and slice up the cake to serve.

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'.
