My First Popiah

My Ugly Looking Popiah in year 2014

Popiah (pȯh-piá) is a Fujianese/Chaoshan-style fresh spring roll common in South East Asia.
A popiah "skin" (薄餅皮) is a soft, thin paper-like crepe or pancake made from wheat flour.

Main Ingredients:
Popiah skin
shredded omelette
filling of finely grated and steamed or stir-fried turnip
thinly sliced fried tofu
shredded cucumber


Can eaten with a sweet sauce (often a bean sauce), a blended soy sauce or hoisin sauce or a shrimp paste sauce and optionally with hot chili sauce before it is filled. The filling is mainly finely grated and steamed or stir-fried turnip (known locally as mengkuang)


Additional ingredients suggestion:
bean sprouts, french beans, lettuce leaves, grated carrots, Chinese sausage slices, chopped peanuts or peanut powder, fried shallots, 


The method of producing the wrapper involves making an extremely wet and viscous dough.
My wrapper is not wet enough.
It looks dry...
Not easy to make a finely wrap popiah. It require skill, a lot of practice and hard work in order to produce a perfect looking popiah.
Looks like I still have long long way in mastering the wrapping part.

That's all for today.

Cheers!

Blueberry Chocolate Cake

My First Blueberry Chocolate Cake   in year 2009 I remembered when my daughter was 2 years old then, I decided to bake my own cake to surprise her on her birthday. But I did not know how and where to start. So I consulted one of my college friend named - Fanny, who likes to bake cake just to make her family happy. Her explanation on the phone was not clear enough as I only talked to her for a few moments and I don't think as a beginner like me can manage to bake a cake! Upon purchasing raw material on baking ingredients and baking utensils, I confronted a shop assistant where she taught me some basic knowledge every-baker-need-to-know steps. So I finally came out with a horrible-looking cake - top with blueberry and very hard texture icing that force me to create ugly drawing for decoration. The cake inside tasted normal and a bit rough. I showed this cake to my mum and we had a good laugh! That was the story of my first experience on baking a cake. Laugh
