fzld Home, "Where your Story begins..."

I've got four more recipes to share in this month's issue of Wanita Magazine. Check them out... Fallen Chocolate Cake... It may look like you made a mistake and the cake fell, but don't worry it's on purpose and this cake tastes moist and delicious. Drizzle some chocolate sauce or strawberry sauce on it and serve with vanilla ice-cream and fresh fruit; like strawberries, peaches or blueberries, for that very special occasion. As seen also on the cover of the recipes section, garnish this Cheesecake with a drizzle of Strawberry Sauce to add that extra flavor to this oh, so favourite recipe. On the top is what I call the Strawberry Layered Surprise. The surprise is the cake inside. You can use any cake, but my favourite is the Whipped Cream Cake. See the recipe in this blog for the cake in the Strawberry Cream Cake recipe. On the bottom of the page are Sweet Almond Cakes -- little cakes loaded with ground almonds that make them moist. Garnish with i

Teatime treats for my Daddy's birthday on the 22nd of February 2009 with my parents, my brother and his family and my husband. Since I began to make treats, it has become a joy to rather than buy cakes, to make them myself. Today is an occasion of which I did so, for my dad's birthday. I must say that the satisfaction of watching family members enjoying it is one thing. Another is the fact that every last bit of the cake was eaten up! Unlike when you buy a cake for a family member's birthday, it always takes a few days to finish because everyone can only manage to eat a piece. Unlike a homemade cake, not only the taste, but the quality is different and a cake made from a good recipe will get good response on a happy occasion like this. I know that my cakes may not be perfect in terms of its decoration, since I am without any formal training on cake decorating or frosting skills. No matter, I believe it is the imperfection of homemade, which shows the effort and

I thought 'tis was the season for heart shaped cookies and made some yesterday as gifts for the family for the get together this weekend attending a relative's wedding. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and when decorated with colored sugar and such, they taste even better. Perfect as gifts and I always make sure to have them in my see through cookie jars during festive seasons to tempt anyone who drops by. Make them in other shapes too! Always a treat. Here's the recipe.. Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 tablespoon milk Method: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Right out there in the middle of nowhere is this little watering hole. It is located under a tree right in the middle of a FELDA kampung. There are even reviews about this delicious item in various blogs and sites. Just google it and you will see. Well, I am lucky because I happen to be married to the guy whose kampung is the infamous FELDA Hutan Percha. So even when there are many outsiders who come from near and far to savor this famous and tasty grilled chicken in its special gravy cooked over open heat, the proprietor of the place is a neighbour and the community knows him well. It is a pride that Pak Hassan, but locally we know him as Pak Itam, has managed to put our humble neighbourhood on the map. Way to go Pak Hassan! It's open only on Fridays and Sundays, and I gotta tell you to be there by 4pm 'coz by 6:30pm they're all sold out. Also because it's so well known, be prepared to wait for a table, or for any take away orders. But, I assure you the wait is wo

The day before yesterday, I was at my favorite eating place having breakfast at 9am in the morning. As I was having my occasional 'nasi lemak', I saw 2 mothers walk in with a child each. They were friends who got together to have breakfast at the restaurant. Children being children, the two kids; one boy around 3 or 4 years of age and the girl, around 2 years old, immediately headed for the ice-cream freezer in the restaurant and they 'oohed' at the ice cream inside. The mother of the boy said "no" and went to sit down at a table with her son. The little boy looked up at her with tears in his eyes and with the most woeful look he could muster, ask his mother why he couldn't have any ice-cream. I respected the mother who kepted to her decision and gave her son an explanation as to why he couldn't have ice-cream. The mother of the little girl however, sat her daughter into the child seat at the table and proceeded to get an ice-cream cone from t
