Hidden wafer cookies

I was using hidden name for this cookies because I put wafer inside. So that, it was like hidden the wafer inside the cookies. 

There are two variants flavor for this cookies, chocolate cheese and cappucino with pink chocolate rice. Although the name and the look are very simple, don't think the taste as simple as the name before you try it. There is a complicate taste which is very tasteful with the combination of the crips from the wafer and the melted cookies outside. What a perfect combination.

I like the crumbs when I tried to cut it into two.

Coconut Jam (Selai Srikaya)

Hi again guys, greeting from this super hot summer weather in Surabaya. I am very happy because today I am gonna share my recipe.

I think you can guess from the tittle what is inside the bowl.. hahaha.. Yesss,, it is coconut jam. yummm.. This kind of jam is very popular in Southest Asia but local people from different countries have given different names. For example in Indonesia we call it Selai Srikaya, in Singapore and Malaysia it is known as Kaya, and in Thailand they call it Sangkhaya. Although it has different name, but the basic ingredients for making this jam is similar which consists of egg, coconut milk, pandan leaf, and sugar. 

Do you know where it comes from? and How it can spread in Southest Asia especially in Indonesia? 

This Srikaya has already been consumed by Southest Asia in hundred years ago. What an old dishes!!! Many people have believed that this jam is orginally from Hainan Island in China which was very rich for coconut tree. The migration of Hakka people is believed to be the people who spread this jam through Southest Asia and then become popular ever since. Most of them were profesions as chef and quite experience in kitchen. 

There is a link between the story and why I had an idea to make this Selai Srikaya. It is because I am also a Hakka descendent. Hahaha.. So, grew up in Hakka family has taught me a lot of kind of food that are influenced by Chinese culture. We usually have this coconut jam in my house and eat it together with white bread or toast bread. Huummm so yummy..

So, here is the recipe, very simple, so easy to make, and I guarantee that everyone can make it.

Ingredients: 

1 Large egg

110mL thick coconut milk

70 gr white sugar

1 pandan leaf (knot)

Method: 

1. Put into a bowl coconut milk, sugar, and pandan leaf.

2. Whisk the egg with fork.

3. Pour the egg into the coconut milk mixture. 

4. Cook it with double pan and stir frequently (once every ten minutes). Cook until thick (it takes approximately 30 minutes).

Very simple right, now you have your homemade coconut jam that ready to be served with bread. There is nothing better than homemade. What a delicious jam with insteresting story behind. Thank you, hope you enjoy it. ^^

Pssttt.. Do you know that this Selai Srikaya is joined Indonesian Food Blogger 15th Challenge. That's way I am very happy to share the recipe and also this is my first year in the community and also my first time joining the challenge as well^^.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone

Donut.. Donat... Doughnut..

ohhhh Donuts,,, Why you are so yummy??? Hahah

Really good snack for happy tummy.. Do you agree? Don't ask me for the calorie...T.T

Who don't know donut? Who doesn't love doughnut? Every country has different name to this snack that has a hole in the middle. This unique cake is very is to make, but take quite a long time to wait the fermation of the yeast that make the cake inflate well. We call it donat in Indonesia.

As I know, donut story has begun in mid-19th century. However, there are a lot of version how doughnut was created in some countries.Before the famous and common donut we know  that has hole in the middle, the first donut was like a ball and fried with pork fat which created by Dutch known as "olykoek" means oily cake. Elizabeth Gregory was known for making the olykoek and one day she made for her son, Hanson Gregory who was a sailor. 

The ones that she made for her son did't has a hole in the middle. It was accidently created by her son. On his voyages journey, he took one of the cake and put it on the ship's steering wheel to keep his hand free because he had to focus on the storm in 1847. This is how doughnut with hole in the middle has begun.. What an interesting story!!! 

The donut then becomes popular ever since with different topping and different flavor. Which one do you like. I made with 6 different flavor, one with powdered sugar (the classic one), blueberry jam, chocolate chips, chocolate rice, cheese, and peanut.

Don't ask me how was the taste? I was sooo yummy, so fluffy, dense but very soft. Not only me who was making the cakes tell you that is so delicious, but everyone who I asked for the feedback also tell me it is delicious.

How happy you are when people tell you that your cake is definitely yummy. 

The one the I cut to show you how good the cake was. hahaha..

Psst... I also open order for snack box for your special evet^^. Thank you.
