FRUITS FRUTTY FRUITTIES!!!

I love fruit, any kinds of fruit..local or imported fruits. Durian season together with rambutan, mangosteen, langsat, cempedak was my favourite time. It brings a lot of fond memories. I remember waiting for the durian to fall from the tree..bagai menunggu bulan jatuh ke riba (like waiting for the moon to fall on my lap).. Me and my sister did all sort of activities like singing dancing playing batu seremban, tutup botol (bottle cap) .. though we have to watch out for the strayed wild boar.. Lucky not one passed by.. After few hours of waiting we heard a not so loud "Bhupp" the sound of something falling to the ground. We rushed to the place where we thought the sound comes from and WAH! There we found a small durian covered with dried leaves and what a joy it brings to us..  hmm...hope my children have the chance to experience this pure excitement..

Ha! speaking about fruits, I've made an easy fruit tart for my sister's engagement day. Very simple yet so fresh and yummy..the base is a round shortbread, layered with a fresh mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. The choice of fruits depends on our palate..some like sweet fruits, some like it to be slightly sour.. You may want to try make one for you...Here is the recipes:-

Shortbread Crust:
1 cup (130 grams) all purpose flour (tepung gandum biasa je)
1/3 cup (35 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113 grams)coldunsalted butter, cut into pieces
-just mix them together until it forms a clump, then press on your greased tart pan. can use big one or the mini one..
-then pierce the bottom with fork, covered it and place in the freezer for 15 min.
-then bake for 13-15 mins until golden brown. 

Cream Filling:
1/2 cup (120 ml) mascarpone or cream cheese
1/2 cup (120 ml) cold heavy whipping crea(35-40% butterfat content)
2 tbsp (30 grams) granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
(One day I wanna add in durian flesh esp for my hubby..hihi)

Spread the cream filling and fill with any fruits you want like mango, kiwi, berries, peaches, mangosteen... yummynyaa.....

This is my first fruit tart

Love the strawberries

Here comes the kiwis!

Believe it or not, there were more hands than the number of strawberries..hehe

The finished products..everybody was so geram coz this tart not for us..it's for hantaran..

Ha! finally we got to taste the tart..this is my second one..

Sedap ke tu....cer citer ..hehe

GIRLS' CATCHING UPS.... I've been very busy for the past 2 weeks. Busy planning and preparing for my 1st ever reunion with ex-LLB IIUM or girls' get together as my husband prefer to call it. Now after 2 days of resting, no cooking no baking, no blogging also, i'm now ready to indulge myself in this intoxicating hobby called baking hehe... today i plan to fulfill my daughter's classmate's dream of having my baked cheesecake by herself. no more mengicak from my daughter eisya which i think not sufficient for her. She's actually my 1st customer! hehe... Eisya as sales exec...hmm should I start my new profession? Don't think so... cook/bake and write suit me more. *JAS NITA WIWI JEEJA* MARNIZA After I came back from my reunion, my head keep provoking me to write about my memories back in college. Actually the idea of writing it came from marniza. I think her brain storage system is better than me.  Wiwi's also. I know this project won't be easy.

ALHAMDULILLAH.... Syukur pada Allah kerana mengizinkan aku menjejakkan kaki di bumi Korea. Byk travel agency buat trip ke Seoul Korea n Nami Island ni. Lupa plk mcmana aku pilih Muslimtravelbug.com . Rasanya dari iklan kat FB kot. Trip kali ni aku berdua dgn Eisya anak daro den.  Hadiah PT3 dgn ganti trip yg dia x dpt join sblm ni.  Aku mmg gila drama korea zaman2 Winter Sonata Autumn In My Heart Stairway To Heaven Jewel Of The Palace (Dae Jang Geum) antaranya. Pastu rehat x tgk laaamaa sgt. Jadi trip ni hanya bersandarkan memori cerita2 tu je. Tu yg seronok sgt dpt gi Nami Island tu. Tp time winter sejuk giler. Hp cabuk aku thn 30 min je kot baterinya. Dh hari ke3 baru pandai sikit ltk hotpad tu dlm poket kasi hp panas sikit.  Trip dgn travel agent ni bestla kalau kita x tau bahasa n malas atau x pakar cari jalan ni. Tadah je kan. So mmg bestla. Tau2 sampai je tpt nak lawat. Makan pulak heaven wey. Time sejuk gigil tu dpt nasi panas sup panas makarel bakar mmg puas la. Ni

I know many of you never taste a pineapple cake before. My first encounter was back in the late 90s when one of my colleague gave me one slice which was very soft and yummy and melt in your mouth kind of thing. And at that time what was i thinking? If only i could make this cake on my own. And it took me over 13 years to discover its recipe. Well, my gratitude goes to the net. Hey! Just ask mr google. He'll give you the answer right. Now let me share with you the most amazing pineapple cake ever. I found the recipe on the internet. I think joyofbaking.com lah. Can't remember.
