Mango Mousse Cake

Actually, i am making this mango mousse cake several month ago, while mango in the season, can find easily in the market.

It taste good, but less sweet maybe the mangoes i used are not sweet enough and not all of my family can accept this flavor. They prefer chocolate mousse cake and neither do i.

Chicken Noodle Soup - No Recipe

oops.. sorry this post have no recipe posted

Hmmm..

Long long time ago, on one sunday morning i was preparing this chicken noodle soup for breakfast, i got into a lot into much trouble, almost burned the kitchen.. why? because i use very small 12 or 15cm saucepan to grill the bbq chicken. and the fire from the gas stove caught the oil inside pan and the fire up almost 1 meter in the saucepan like professional chef cooking show which show you how to light up fire with some help of wine.  >,<
Luckily i am not afraid when the fire light up, i quickly turn off the stove, bring the saucepan to the sink and the fire disappeared. Thanks God. and i continue to cook the chicken noodle.

This chicken noodle is delicious, the soup is rich with chewy noodle. I like it so much! But a bit lazy to make it again, too many things need to prepare. 

Why i did not post the recipe? Because i don't have any exact measurement for each ingredients.
The Chicken noodle contented, soup - noodles - bbq chicken - ramen egg - tofu puff - green vegetables.
For the soup base, i am using chicken bone, some onion, green onions and carrot for making chicken stock.
For the bbq chicken, i marinade the chicken with chinese cha siew sauce then grill it in saucepan
For ramen egg, soft boiled the egg and marinade one night in dark soy sauce and some sugar.
For noodle, i am using noodle for wonton noodle.

Kolak Pisang Biji Salak ( No Recipe )

Sorry, no recipe again for this post. i just learned how to make this kolak pisang biji salak or potato sweet balls & banana in coconut sauce from my mom, and she does not exact measurement for making this dessert.Also, when i am making this i don't measure it, will do it next time.

This one is my favorite Indonesian traditional dessert, mostly people sold it while Ramadan. But, i just cook whenever i want to eat this kolak. the chewy potato balls and soft banana combine with fragrant palm sugar coconut sauce are just too delicious for me. I like to enjoy it while hot. You may also enjoy it after chill in the fridge suitable for hot sunny day.
