Cooking disaster




I'm officially a loser when it comes to making traditional Malay desserts/kuih

Susah okay. When it comes to making the kuih, it's not about following the exact same measurement because usually it doesn't really work. You have to 'just know' when it is 'just right'. Hence, I did a pretty bad karipap (curry puff) and i just messed up my fav kuih gelang/kuih keria/sweet potato doughnut. How hard can it be? Well first, I bought the wrong flour. I saw plain flour but my hand reached out to the self-raising flour instead. N tengah dok syok tambah tepung n checking the consistency, only then I realised that I have added too much, plus I glanced over the flour packaging and saw the word 'SELF-RAISING FLOUR' as if it was laughing at me for making a silly mistake. Again it's not about the measurement, it's about knowing when is right and getting the right ingredient too, dummy! It's never easy, especially when u r making it like once a year.

That's it I'm taking out the fillo pastry and am making spiced apple in a fillo cups. Yeap it's gonna be my second dessert for the day. I just wanna be happy okay!

the dessert is s'posed to look sth like this except it's filled with apple and not peaches and cranberries (in the picture)
