The pizzas before putting them in the oven

I made 5 pizzas from the dough (with medium and small covers' pots) 

 I used cheddar cheese in which I spread it on top of the pizzas

Resepi ni amik kat chef Hanileza punyer blog. Tapi dah modify here and there. 80% drp cara memasak ikut step-by-step daripada resepi yg terdapat dalam kotak serbuk mauripan (ada kat mana2 supermarket/ kedai runcit). Tak payah guna tepung berprotein tinggi utk nak buat pizza. Mana nak cari bahan tu kat bandar kecil?

Homemade Chocolate

 

 These are some of the homemade chocolate I learned from the class that was organised by Kolej Komuniti Kuantan. It was a two-day class. It started at 9am to 1.30. The cost for the class is only RM20. In fact, you can request for other module for instance cup cake class, pizza and buns classes with the cost fees. REALLY CHEAP, isn't it? You just need to call your nearest community college for the courses they offer. Knowledge is everywhere. It is up to us to learn or to ignore the knowledge. These days, I'm going to try this recipe.

Kerabu mangga

Kerabu mangga ni baru jer buat utk mkn tengahari tadi. Mempelam beli di pasar malam pada minggu lepas. Smlm dah buat sambal belacan dgn mempelam tu. So ari ni utk side dish menu, maka buatlah mango salad ni. Senang saja nak sediakan. Cuma perlukan:

1. 2 biji mempelam (apa2 mempelam pun takpe.) But i use mempelam apple.
2. 3-6 btg serai
3. gula dan garam secukup rasa
4. 4 biji lada merah and hijau -hiris halus
5. 6 biji lada kecil-  hiris halus
6. Segenggam udang kering yang direbus sekejap. Toskan airnya.
7. 1 hingga 2 biji bawang besar

Racik atau potong halus-halus mempelam tadi. Kemudian potong juga serai halus-halis. Campurkan lada kecil dan besar yang telah dipotong halus. Kemudian campurkan bawang. Tambahkan garam dan gula. Last sekali, tambahkan serai. Gaulkan kesemua bahan sehingga sebati dan hidangkan. My hubby tak suka serai, so dia amik kerabu ni dan buat menu sendiri dengan menambahkan air dan belacan sedikit. Tak tau ler apa rasanyer tapi dia makan habis menu yg diciptanya sendiri tu. Selamat mencubav vv
