22 Feb 20 (Sat) - Sago Cake with Gula Melaka

Found some small sago pearls in the pantry and decided to use it all up. So what's better way to use it all up than to make sago cake.

Simply soaked the sago pearls for 15 minutes then rinsed with running water for a few minutes before cooking. Cooked till sago pearls became translucent then removed from heat and drained. Transferred them to a bowl of cold water and let them sit for a few minutes. Lightly greased a bowl before transferring the drained sago pearls into the bowl. Chilled for a couple of hours or overnight.

Served with gula melaka. Even better if served together with coconut milk.

 

21 Feb 20 (Fri) - Mee Sua Kueh (面线糕)

Joined a Facebook group called "Home-cooked Delights 家常便饭" for a while now. It was introduced to me by my sis because the members in that group tend to post photos of old-school dishes which our mum used to cook.

Saw a post on "Mee Sua Kueh (面线糕)" recently by the admin, Kenneth Goh. Read his blog post with interest and since I am spending time with my sis, I decided to give this recipe a shot.

Tried to follow the recipe as closely as possible and it seemed to turn out well until I unmould the kueh from the tray. The bottom was still a bit wet.

Fortunately, the taste was still good. Not too bad for a first attempt.

Pan-fried the leftover kueh as lunch and it tasted even better because some parts became crispy. Goes well with sambal belacan.
