discover more about this long post (:

here i am with a super long post! (: met up with edith, cathy, jean, wen, jess, jo and zy. it was indeed an awesome experience. more often than not, we could only see and swallow our saliva at those delicious treats that they baked. today or rather yesterday, we not only see each other face to face and chat about everything and anything but also get to taste their heavenly treats which cannot be measure in monetary terms esp in this fast pace and practical society. i indeed have a wonderful and fruitful time spent with them (:

blur me, i left in a hurry and left not only container but also camera at home! ): is okay, i used jess camera to snap photos and definitely photography skills can be improved! :D the rest of them have camera and took really nice photos! hop over to edith and cathy's blog and see. those savoury treats still lingers . . (:

i baked mango cheesecake, jelly heart and fried nian gao that's inspired by wendy (: the nian gao was homemade by my aunt so is a softer and not so sweet version (: also, i used 2 types of sweet potato together. the orange ones is the jap sweet potato and the green ones is the indonesia sweet potato. the green ones, after frying, it became really "melted" and i like it more than the orange one (:

my aunt uses such big pack of flour!

my aunt made the bean paste for ang ku kueh

my aunt cooling the nian gao


Nian Gao Sweet Potato Rolls


500g sweet potato
Nian Gao, cut into strips
Spring Roll Pastry
Cornflour, mix with water

1. Slice sweet potato and steam until cooked(soft).
2. Mash sweet potato while it’s still hot
1. Place wrapper onto a flat surface
2. Place 1 tbsp of sweet potato filling onto wrapper, lightly spread it out.
3. Place 1 pc of nian gao onto sweet potato and wrap (see pictures)
4. Put a drop of cornflour mixture after rolling up.
5. Fry the prepared rolls in medium- medium low heat until golden.

*note: cover the pastry with a warm, damp towel to prevent the skin from turning hard

there's another type of 50 pcs spring roll pastry but is smaller piece


fried nian gao. super crispy fresh from the wok!

next, im submitting this to ASPIRING BAKERS #4 LOVE IN THE AIR hosted by ellena.

    I regretted and missed the opportunity to meet you all, the spring roll & cheese cakes that you prepared look delicious. Your jelly heart cheesecakes have very neat layers. Well done, Jasmine!

    hey! thanks for posting. Planning to make them before month end to submit for Aspiring bakers hehe

    oh yah! you know the jelly water-ed really badly by the time I reach the restaurant. it fell off from the cheesecake cos it was out from the fridge for too long. But I gobbled them up together anyway, is really good! feel so blissful eating them hahahah
