Malaysian Bak Kut Teh






I am not the most hard core meat eater, infact, i liked most food lean.

Call me lazy - I don't like to remove bones from fish especially, shells from prawns, hard knocking on crabs, the works.

Call me time-saver - i also prefer food to be bone free, thus saving the hassle of dirty-ing the hands, allows me to eat with peace, and no fuss.

So when i dined at this indoor shopping complex Bak Kut Teh joint(or any other restaurant)some time back, i would always order the lean cut, lots of veg, plates of cut bird eyes chillies.

Hot Chinese tea is a must too. Yeah, I liked my tea hot.

When we were there, it was pouring rain outside!

Which also means the perfect time to enjoy the piping hot Bak Kut Teh.

What could have been better than having a cold weather and having hot food to give you comfort?

Nothing beats that!

Flower Arrangement Sketches

Some sketches...

and random thoughts...



Lemon Yoghurt Cheesecake


The original recipe calls for sour cream, i tweaked a lil'. I substitute it with yoghurt.



I prefer yoghurt as it is healthier.


When you are trying out with yoghurt, take note the water content, and the tanginess level (as i have used freshly squeezed lemon juice), as water might "appear" after baking.


Adjust your sugar level too, if you are using sweetened yoghurt. I have used plain natural youghurt.



I have used her recipes. Try it. Please note Rose's recipe is New York Creamy Cheesecake.
