Baking at Sis's Place...

Over the Hari Raya weekend in Sept, we had potluck at my 5th sis's new place and I baked using her new built-in oven.

Baked Item No 1:

The crust was not very successfully made... but the filling was delicious. Apart from the main ingredients which were ham and mushroom, the filling was made up mainly of whipping cream, eggs and parmesan cheese. In my opinion, quiche are not to be eaten in large quantities. Reason No 1: It is unhealthy. Reason No 2: I get 'sick' of it easily.

Baked Item No 2:

Look at the 2nd photo on the right: The egg part expands like a balloon in the oven!

This was more of a dessert item. I started baking only after we finished our dinner. The crust was made mainly by my San Jie since she needed it for the food she was preparing. I only had to do some rolling and cutting. The egg part was quite easy to make but it was extremely fattening. It was made up of Whipping cream + Milk + Sugar + Eggs + Vanilla Essence. Yes, unhealthy again...

As for the end product, It had a weird taste (which I think was due to the pastry margarine), though my family thought it was quite acceptable. But... the egg part was sweet and yummy. :)

Anyway, along with me, I dragged my San Jie along and forced her to bake with me! Below are her baked items!

San Jie's Baked Item No. 1:

The one on the left tastes much better as they had my preferred ingredients-ham and mushroom, but it was not nicely shaped as we did not have enough pans.

It was so amazing to see her make the dough as it will actually expand! BUT.. it is hard work... need a lot a lot of hand power!!! I am interested to make but feel so lazy... haha...

San Jie's Baked Item No. 2:

Looks enticing right? Same puff pastry as my egg tarts. The clam chowder... hmm... tastes not bad with the puff pastry la. :P

So this was what we baked for the day. Of course we had other food for potluck - Zi char: tofu, prawns and vegetables, Mummy's 'Po Yi' (similar to meatballs/ngoh hiong) and I also forced my 5th sis to make Chendol agar agar which ended up dirtying her stove area. The agar agar was not easy to make as it had many many steps but it is an interesting dessert.
