My First Bake
I miss baking. i miss baking my chocolate prune cake. I’ve been wanting to bake since i got here, but we didnt have an oven back in the hotel we stayed in last year. now, with a kitchen of our own, and a bloody good oven, i can now bake, and grill and roast!
I’ve decided to give cheesecake a try - baked cheesecake! i remembered a dear friend of mine, dayat, taught me how to do a basic cheesecake some 10 years ago. not the baked one but the simple cheesecake just whip, freeze and eat! hehe. and i remembered it being ’sapu-ed’ by my then housemates in oxford.
Sunday afternoon, aidan napping, hardy putting the carpet in the store room, i then start to gulung lengan and… ready… steady… BAKE!
It took me less than half an hour to whip everything up, and another good 40 mins in the oven.. then another 30 mins in the fridge (the longer the better). not bad ey for someone trying it for the first time, and who doesnt even like cheese.. let alone cheesecake!
And this is the result…
Now i do like cheese…
If only you lot can taste them! i’ve got only one ‘mangsa’…….. so.. did i pass?
(p.s: yat, i do know now why you love baking)

nurul: chocolate prune cake recipe is back in jb la!
i have to get it from my mum. cheesecake tu i can email you k?
but i’ll bake more than a cheesecake if you guys come here! what say you?
adam: we’ll see if i can bring a slice or two for you guys this march!
yat: atas dia boleh crack ke? i didnt know! aku tukar sikit recipe dia yat, aku kurang kan gula ngan telor. to tell you the truth, cheese aku tak cukup, thats why aku kurang kan. but it tasted good (bukan nak puji but it worked!). cheesecake oreos? pengsan la yat, lately aku dok bake ngan masak macam macam.. gemok la wey!! ajar la aku lagi yat!!

yupp .. boleh crack .. u have to leave it to cool in the oven for awhile.. then take it out and cool outside…
dulu aku tak suke baked cheesecake.. bcoz of the eggy taste.. but bile dah try buat.. actually takde rase telur if u dah refrigerate lame sket/overnight.
kalau oreo’s version..
base- use crushed oreo’s (scrap the fillings.. mix the fillngs with the cheesecake mixture)
cheesecake mixture - masukkan oreos pieces dlm tu..
itu saje..
selamat mencube.. pasni kite try Bullseye cheesecake plak.. hehe
p/s email la jugak kat aku recipe ni.. pls.

actually kan… i dah lama nak leave a message in here tapi tak dapat cos i am so lazy to log in to frenster nowadays.
neways, i love your latest photos and i am so happy to hear your latest ‘adventures’. it feels great la. i pun nak jadi homemaker boleh?? hehe…
you should be here la… then can help kak liza with my wedding preparations.
hugs and kisses to aidan. muaahhh.

juan: gosh, i’d really love to be there to help you. but i’m sure k.liza will do a good job, more than what i can do! and as for being a homemaker, juan, truthfully, i think you’re better off out there. so my answer would be: tak boleh! heheh. you’re better off making a difference in your workplace, in the corporate world! jadi homemaker kejap je boleh k? unless you and ‘the one’ dah discuss and agree… then boleh!
love to you both!
