Carrot Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I am making myself craving for some carrot cupcake just by looking and writing about them. I love me some carrot cupcake! Yes I do! Well, actually I love carrot cake. I just figured that making them in cupcakes instead of a cake would be easier if I was giving them to other people which was the reason why I made some for Christmas last year so my husband could bring them to work to share with his coworkers. Of course he'd gladly do it because his other option would be him having to eat most of them all by himself. And also listening to me asking him, "Honey, you want some cupcake?" everyday after work/dinner. Oh yes, I can be very persistent to the extend of borderline irritating to my husband. I'm very sure of that. But I know he loves me. :)

Kuih Keria Recipe

Kuih Keria is one of many delicious traditional Malay kuihs. It is made of sweet potato and flour and coated with crystalised/caramalised sugar. I have tried making them myself before using the sweet potato/yam that was sold at the regular supermarket i.e. Ralph's, Von and etc. The result was rather a disaster. They were too watery and I had to add a lot of flour to be able to make a dough out of them. That only resulted in a hard Kuih Keria. Not the typical soft and slightly chewy delicious Kuih Keria but a rock hard one! That was maybe 3 years ago. I haven't even bothered making them again until recently when I was told to use Japanese yam that is sold at the asian supermarket. Some of my friends in other states told me that it's called Korean yam. I guess the name varies depending on where you buy them or who sell them. Japanese or Korean yam, as long as they give me a delicious Kuih Keria, I am happy.

Yong Tau Foo

Hello everyone. I am back! I know I am known for being here and then gone for no reason whatsoever. This time, besides being lazy, I was without computer. My notebook decided to go kaput on me and I decided to just wait for Black Friday to get a new one. Cheap, no fancy schmancy notebook. So here I am.

For today, I decided to post this Yong Tau Foo, a favourite Malaysian Chinese dish. B of Rasa Malaysia used to make these for me so I decided to make them myself. It is very simple and satisfyingly yummy.
