Steam Green Mud Cake (Kek Lumut)

Some had tea in it. Well, this is my mom's another version & I loved it.
Made it with her last Sunday and another success. Moist & soft. Yummy. ^^

1 teaspn of baking powder

100 g flour OR more if your prefer it to be less chewy

120 g Horlicks

250 g Nestum (small packet)

1 1/2 caps of green colouring (OR less, to your liking)

Grease the sides with butter & flour. Set aside.

Add in  Horlicks & Nestum. Combine it in slowly. Lastly, mix in the green colouring.

~ Pour batter into prepared baking pan & steam in a steamer for 2 hours OR more

until the cake is firm. Serve hot with tea & enjoy.

Note: Stick the middle of the cake with a small wooden stick & if it comes out clean, it's done.

Arghh, the whole house smells so fragrant. =D

The Horlicks & Nestum's the trick to the gorgeous smell. ^^

Upside down

Flipped it up again.

Ohhhh~ moist & chewy.

The wonderful smell of Nestum welcomes you with warmth when

you take your first bite. I had it with hot tea. Yummy.

Eve's Corner

Went here a few times. Food's quite good & the price is affordable.
The atmostphere's kinda relaxing & wi-fi is available.
Here's what I had.

Beef Rendang with a side of local veges & sambal.

I had this lovely beef rendang & I think this is the best

beef rendang I've ever had.

 The sambal (prawn paste) was different from what I've always tasted.

But it was really good & spicy.

Fish & Chips.

Quite good too.

Breaded Chicken Chop.

Lamb & Chicken Chop with gravy.

I love the gravy!!

Breaded Chicken Breast

Love to make this every time I feel like having it.
Almost like having my own homemade nuggets.

You'll need:

2 pieces of chicken breast - sliced long
2 cups of ready made bread crumbs OR more
1 egg
Black pepper to taste
Chilli pepper to taste
Seasoning
2 cups OR more oil for deep frying

~ Marinate chicken breast with eggs, black pepper & chilli pepper.
Seasoned it to taste.

~ Heat oil in frying pan. Cover marinated chicken breast with bread crumbs one by one.
Fry until golden brown. Serve hot with mayonnaise dipping. (mayo+chilli sauce+dash of tabasco)

I add the egg in the chicken breast after this photo's taken.

The egg kinda helps the bread crumbs to coat the chicken better.

Finger licking good.
