Fresh Bread on a Friday

Bread Fresh from the Oven

A few weeks back I decided to make good my promise to my friend V and Chef W that I will do some bread baking after completing my bread baking class in June 2012. I’m starting it slow by doing a Victorian Milk loaf bread as my first bake for the year.

Sliced Bread

It takes an awful long time to bake bread as compared to making cake. I had to prepare the poolish in the morning and wait till the evening before I could start on the bread. It takes 8hrs for the poolish to be ready and another 3 hrs for the bread to be proof and ready for baking. It was nearly midnight when I placed the bread in the oven to be baked.

It turned out great and the kids and R loved eating it with jam for breakfast the next day.

Have you been doing any baking this week?

Curry Coconut Prawns on a Friday

Curry Prawns in Coconut

For the past few weeks I have been sharing photos about the food we at while on our road trip to Malaysia. Last week was on Dim Sum and the previous week I featured seafood and deer meat. Here is the last installment of the food pictures which I took.

It was the first time I saw coconuts being use as containers and also curry prawns being served in them. The dish was really yummy and I hope that I’ll be able to find the dish here in Singapore to savour again.

Tempura style vegetables

These tasted really yummy and crispy. It was different from the normal tempura battered deep fried vegetables that we have at the Japanese restaurant. Really wonder how this dish is made so I can try replicating it at home for the kids. They loved it and finished the dish within minutes.

Chili Noodles

This noodles were served to us at the market we stopped for lunch after visiting the Tin mining museum in Sungei Lembing. The dish was hot due to the chillies but really tasty.

What foods have you been eating this week?
