Deepavali: Muruku Day  

Saturday, October 27, 2007

It's Muruku Day again. I remember posting on muruku during last year's Deepavali season. Digged my archive and found the post! Hehehehe.. Read my old muruku post here.

Somehow I feel Muruku Day is jinxed! Last year, I couldn't find a camera, so used my camera phone to take the photos. It turned out to be kinda pathetic. This year, coincidenly my uncle took the camera to a function just moments before we start the 'muruku session' *sigh!. This time, I used my sis's camera phone to snap the photos. Something is always better than nothing! Here they are

dough

shapes

uncooked muruku

frying the muruku

the end product


How was the Muruku Day in your home? :)

Deepavali: Cookies  

Monday, October 22, 2007

Whoa! Looks like everyone love cookies!!! Here are 3 more cookies, we did during the weekend:

custard cookies
In Malay, this is called Sarang Semut (Ant's colony). Basically this is another form of curtard cookies. Again, it contains eggs, so will only get to taste it tomorrow.



cornflakes - kokokrunch
This is a solo attempt by yours truly *wink wink. Two doughs were prepared - one out of Corn Flakes and another from Koko Krunch. Both were 'attached' together, cut and baked. After letting it to cool, I dipped it in melted chocolate and sprinkled with coloured chocolate rice. It gives a lingering chocolate taste in your mouth everytime you take a bite! Purely vegetarian! :D


cornflakes
This is another Corn Flakes delight, but much simpler compared to the previous one. This time around, only a single dough is needed and I added crunched Corn Flakes to it. Yes, it turned out to be crunchy and again vegetarian.


Before anyone starts complaining of pictures of cookies one and after, I just wanna assure you this is something which will not dominate tulipspeaks. I'm longing for a serious post too. May be in a day or two.. okie? ;)
