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 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.

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.

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.
