RED APPLE TARTS

There's a scheduled water disruption at my residential area for three days (Started at 8am this morning), due to some maintenance work at the water plant. It's gonna be 3 days down, 1 day up and then 2 days down again before the work is completed. Bleh. In order to avoid too much washing-up, guess it's just simple meals and one pot dishes during this period of time >.< 

 Today's afternoon snack: Red apple tarts. Took me less than half an hour to whip up, using 4 common ingredients (You could leave out the ground cinnamon and it will only be 3). Simply cut, arrange and sprinkle while waiting for the oven to heat up, pop into the preheated oven, and 12 mins later, done!
Fast, easy and taste good :) 
Sprinkle more sugar for more glaze. I didn't put much coz my LO was gonna eat it.

Ingredients:

(Makes 4)

  • 2 sheets of 10cm x 9.5cm frozen square puff pastries, thawed
  • 1/2 red apple
  • Ground cinnamon and brown sugar, for sprinkling (More sugar for more glaze)
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Cut each pastry sheet into 2 pieces. Core the apple and slice thinly.
  3. Place the pastry on the prepared tray and place a layer of apple slices down the middle. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and brown sugar.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 12 mins, or til puffed and golden.

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing.  The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a   sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon  is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack.   Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar ...

LEAN'S @ ATRIA SHOPPING GALLERY

Tong sui are a Cantonese specialty. If you've grown up in a Cantonese family, you must have had tong sui before. The term 'tong sui' literally means 'sugar water'. It is a collective term for any sweet, warm soup or custard served as a dessert at the end of a meal in Cantonese cuisine. My dad is a huge fan of tong sui : red bean soup, peanut soup, barley ginkgo and black sesame soup being his favorite. I'm not really a tong sui person but I remember seeing this Lean's place in Atria that sells a variety of desserts, including tong sui , nyonya kuihs and light meals, so I brought my dad there to try when my parents came over. It was afternoon teatime when we arrived. We were feeling a little hungry, so we ordered 2 nasi lemak bungkus, a cucur udang, steam cakes for my LO, black sesame cream, barley ginkgo and bubur cha cha. Nasi Lemak bungkus (RM3.70). Cucur udang (RM3). Pandan and vanilla steam cake (RM1.50 each). Nasi lemak is a famous lo...

CHINESE ARROWROOT SOUP WITH PORK BONES

This is the simple version of the Chinese arrowroot soup (Also known as 粉葛湯 'Fun Kot Tong' in Cantonese). Our family love drinking this soup. It is tasty and cooking it with pork bones and dried squid makes it sweet and refreshing. Some people who like boiling arrowroot together with lotus roots or peanuts, and my mother-in-law usually boils it on its own and drink as 'cooling' tea. Naturally sweet and tasty. If you don't like seafood, you can choose to omit the dried squid. This is how the Chinese arrowroot looks like.  The arrowroot is a type of root plant similar to taro, potato or tapioca. However, it is harder in texture and incredibly starchy. When it is cut up, it has patterns that looks like the ages of a tree trunk. It is usually made into powder and used as thicken agent in cooking. The arrowroot is high in protein and fiber which is very beneficial to our body. Ingredients: 1 medium-sized Chinese arrowroot (Approx 700g) 10 red dates, ...
