Kaya Slice ~ 咖椰片


I've tasted vanilla slice before but not Kaya Slice.  My first taste of Kaya Slice was at a fusion cafe in Perth and the combination was truly wonderful.  So when I returned from my vacation, I just had to give it a try with my homemade kaya and believe me, it's real yummy especially if you are a kaya fan.  Serve this as a dessert to jazz up your reunion dinner during this coming Chinese New Year!






Kaya Slice ~   咖椰片
Ingredients
  • 2 pieces of 8 inch sq frozen puff pastry
  • Homemade kaya/coconut egg jam
  • Icing sugar to dust
Method
  1. Defrost the frozen pastries.
  2. Place a puff pastry onto a parchment lined pan.  Prick holes with a fork to prevent it from blowing up.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 15 to 20 mins. till brown.
  4. Remove from oven and place a pan on top and gently press down to give a flat surface.
  5. Repeat with the other pastry.
  6. Cut pastry into 2 halves to make 4 halves.
  7. Spread a  generous amount of kaya on one half of the pastry and place another half sheet on top.  Repeat.
  8. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
Here's wishing everyone a very Happy Lunar New Year with abundance health, luck and prosperity!

Braised pork tendons with pork belly ~ 红烧猪筋

 Pork tendons are a great source of protein which is essential for muscle repair, tissue regeneration and overall bodily functions. High in collagen and glucosamine and chondroitin they help to support joint and skin health and muscle maintenance. Low in fat, rich in carbohydrates and trace elements, they have nutritional characteristics of high calcium, high protein and no cholesterol.  Tasteless by nature like sea cucumber, and being tough they need to be slow cooked like braising and simmering to make them tender and release their collagen like in stews to create a rich flavour.

Yoghurt Fruitcake

T is the festive season again and the all-time favourite for X'mas is undoubtedly the ubiquitous fruit cake.  This Yoghurt Fruitcake caught my eye when I was browsing through a Food and Travel magazine.  As I've never baked a fruit cake with yoghurt before, I was very eager to try.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
