Nearly Perfect Brownies

Have to tweak the recipe a bit next time and cut down 1/3 of the sugar. Too sweet. I guess the chocolate I'm using is not dark enough. Anyways, other than all the tweaking I reckon that this is going to be the perfect definition of my fudgy brownie!You know what they say, 3rd time the charm!Alhamdulillah..

Genoise Tres Cafe

Tweaked this recipe from Rose's Heavenly Cake a bit and I hope it will turn out coffeelicious! I will update the recipe if the review is good.

Brownies

I had this perfect brownies recipe but I forgot where I saved it (yup good old recipe cards still win). I really need to write down my tested recipe properly in my book this time so I won't loose it.

My definition of a perfect brownie is simple; my husband can munch it clean in 5 seconds. He is not a chocolate fan so that would be a gold medal for a brownie. Only perfect brownie can score that kind of achievement ok!

So now I'm still en route to the perfect chewy fudgy and crackled top brownie. Bear with me until I found the perfect one! Hehe..

This one is a fudgy but quite cakey brownie (baking powder alert) but I love the chocolatey goodness of it. Sharing this recipe for blog update sake -_-

Brownies

250g dark chocolate (using local beryl's new intense chocolate)
120g butter (using butterlite)

3 large eggs
230g brown sugar

140g flour
30g cocoa powder
1tsp baking powder

Direction:

1. Preheat oven at 170C and grease 8×8 baking pan. Cover bottom of pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the chocolate using double boiler technique. Once melted, turn off heat and add butter. Whisk until combine.
3. In another bowl whisk eggs and brown sugar until combined and whisk in the chocolate mixture.
4. Using spatula, fold in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder (yup i didnt sift it). Mix well until the mixture becomes sort of gooey.
5. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 45 minutes.
6. I test the doneness by moving the pan (slowly to the left and right) and if the brownies are done it will not have that wobbly movement in the centre. Please don't use the clean skewer test.

Thank u for reading!

Tips perniagaan

Alhamdulillah semua yang berlaku memang sarat terselit hikmah disebaliknya termasuk keputusan untuk menutup perniagaan kafe The Spot dahulu.

Kenapa tutup? Sayang dah ramai mula kenal, sewa bulan-bulan pun boleh bayar, modal besar telah dilabur dan bermacam-macam lagi bermain difikiran tatkala idea menutup kedai singgah. Memang diakui keputusan untuk menutup kedai tersebut dibuat dengan agak tergesa-gesa hingga mengguris hati bapa saya sendiri.

Tapi ketika itu baru berkahwin dan selama setahun lebih buka kedai memang inilah pengurusnya, inilah tukang masak kalau chef lari, inilah pelayan kalau waiter tiba-tiba mahu berhenti, Memang menguji fizikal dan mental. Tetapi memang inilah lumrah usahawan. Mana ada rehat, mana ada cuti. Keusahawanan itu kan gaya hidup, bukan sekadar kerjaya.

Malangnya pada waktu itu emosi memang dah tak stabil. Pekerja hanya tinggal chef pastri. Saya masuk kedai tutup kedai lemau je sentiasa. Padahal itulah yang dinamakan cabaran. Saya pulak terus rasa penat dan penat. Kalau dulu motivasi wang ringgit pun jadi, tapi masa tu semua benda rasa penat. Kalau boleh nak urus rumah tangga sahaja.

Sebenarnya, kalau masih mau meneruskan ketika itu saya hanya perlu bercuti dan rehat seketika. Kembali bekerja dengan minda yang positif!

Tu dia tips no.1, jangan takut untuk rehatkan minda. Biar lah orang nak kata apa. Janji perniagaan jalan~

Tips seterusnya:-

2. Banyakkan bergaul dengan usahawan lain. Mereka akan saling sokong menyokong.
3. Jangan ikut kata orang. Terutama cadangan yang menggunakan wang. Perniagaan kita, kita lebih tahu.
4. Kakitangan sangat penting.

5. Cari pembantu yang boleh dipercayai (biasanya di kalangan ahli keluarga).

Rasa macam banyak masa nak mula tulis tadi. Tak mengapa sambung lagi nanti yang penting sekarang saya banyak belajar dari kesilapan dan pengalaman.

Anak dah merengek minta susu. Sekian.

It's in the jeans! *fashion alert*

Every girl needs at least a pair of perfect-fitting jeans in their closet to be worn casually. Jeans are very comfortable and trendy in mysterious ways. The latest designs might excite you but you have to constantly remind yourself to choose one that would fit you just right.

Thanks to the modern technology now we have a plethora of denim jeans out there in the market.However, going out for shopping at the mall can be exhausting as trying on jeans might sound fun but can be awfully tedious! 

The best jeans fashion styles for me would be anything that is comfy and of course compliment my whole look. As a hijabi, I prefer jeans that is not too tight, oftenly straightcut. These are some jeans fashion that I would go for:
