Black Sticky Rice ( Bubur Ketan Hitam )

Black Sticky Rice is an asian dessert which can be eaten warm or cold. In Indonesia, it calls Bubur Ketan Hitam and in Malaysia and Singapore it calls Pulut Hitam.  My own preference will be eating it warm with heaps of coconut milk. Back in my hometown, you can find this dessert anywhere. This dessert is easy to do but it takes time to cook it.

Green Tea Tiramisu

Green Tea Tiramisu was inspired by my favourite green tea powder. I love to have any food that has green tea flavour in it. I made this tiramisu for one of my friend who does not allow to have any alcohol at all. The tiramisu that i made earlier last month has to have alcohol in the recipe. Therefore i decided to make green tea tiramisu for her to try it without any alcohol and it tursn out really nice.

Tamagoyaki

This is my favourite Japanese dish. Whenever I go to any sushi restaurant, I will always order tamago sushi. Tamago in Japanese means egg. Tamagoyaki is fried egg in Japanese style where you rolled the egg until big bulky and cut it in a thick rectangle shape. This tamagoyaki is known to be eaten with sushi rice. However as because I am craving for tamagoyaki few days already, I decided to make some and eat it with just plain rice and soy sauce.

Tiramisu

Tiramisu is one of my favourite dessert. First time when i heard my friend told me that she made Tiramisu, i thought it will be a really hard work to do but she advised me that it is actually the most easiest thing to do. I asked for her recipe and tried it myself and it turn out to be a really easy dessert to do. The hard thing will be the waiting time for the Tiramisu to set and try it. It only take half hour to do everything before put it into the fridge. My friend is going back for good and would like to make her own tiramisu and i teach her how to made them on the weekend. This tiramisu is recomended to do it in small individual cup so that you dont have to be bothered to cut it which i always struggle to do it correctly.
