I had my first taste of Krispy Kreme in Malaysia

Krispy Kreme’s Hot Original Glazed Doughnuts are made from the same secret recipe used for over 70 years. An unforgettable treat passed down from generation to generation, Krispy Kreme is widely loved around the world because the doughnuts are made fresh daily and throughout the day using their own propriety doughnut mix to ensure quality and consistency.

Yes, they finally opened a store here in Malaysia – Berjaya Times Square to be exact. The launch was this morning at 9am with some dignitaries. The first customer won 1 yrs supply of KK Glazed doughnuts. Apparently she was camping out there since Saturday and skipped school today (she’s a Form 5 student) to be the first in line.

I managed to get a bite of the infamous glazed doughnut from a friend of mine and it was good. Soft and fluffy on the inside. The glaze was sweet but not overpoweringly sampai nak muak sweet.

Can’t wait to get to BTS to get me a box :D

Oh yes, rumour has it that they are opening another new store in Midvalley end of this month :D All photos taken frm Voize.my

Baking Kuih Raya

I totally semangat to make kuih raya the other day. Aree came over to help as well. We went to Tesco to do some grocery shopping (for her) and ingredient shopping (for me). Came back and realized that I didn’t have butter at home – my mom usually buys lots because she bakes often but apparently, its finished – so we headed out to the nearest 7E to buy butter (and aree wanted to buy rokok).

So yea, I’ve always liked recipes that you can use a cookie press (dunno wut that is? click here) to make because its really convinient. So Anne posted a recipe on making Biskut Bunga Cina which is this milky sweet melt-in-your-mouth cookie. Its supposed to look like this:

But mine turned out like this :

 

Damn sad okay? :( Seldom my cookies and cakes tak jadi. For one thing, perhaps my oven should be put on a lower setting. Secondly, I don’t know how much condensed milk to put (she just mentioned 1 tin kecil). Thirdly, the dough hardens really fast.

Tolong Anne *nangis*

Bazaar Ramadhan Wangsamaju

Have you noticed something lately? Its been a week since puasa and everyone, I mean EVERYONE is talking about food. And a day-to-day diary at that. Eg: “Today I ate A for berbuka, yesterday I ate B for berbuka”

And I don’t blame them. The best part I like about puasa (besides the hari raya open house) is the bazaar ramadhan. On the first or second day of puasa (I can’t remember exactly when), I was in KL with a friend and we didn’t know where to go for dinner so we decided to go to a nearby bazaar.

This bazaar is the one in Wangsamaju. You can see the Jusco in the distance right? The stalls stretch from Jusco all the way to the other end (beyond the right of the photo). I wasn’t really impressed with the selections there. It seems like they were basically selling the same thing. Not much variety. We bought:

• kuih pelita – it was was a bit runny (watery) but tasted nice and not too sweet.
• roti john – this is my first time eating a meat-less roti john. I still prefer mine with meat
• putu piring – not nice. The one in TTDI is still the best ever
• Dadih coklat – something like chocolate pudding but firmer like jelly
• Mee goreng – my fren bought this, I don’t really fancy mee goreng
• Soya bean – with brown sugar syrup. I like :D
• Did I miss out anything?

Verdict, food just so-so. No much variety. I give it a rating of 3 of 5 stars :/
