Quick Dinner Rolls

I usually bought this at Giant for less than 5 ringgit but when I browse through the net, I found out that u can make it in less than 2ringgit! but came to think of it, it's not about the price that I'm concern about when I'm making something. It's all about learning new skill and technique and let say by the end of the day it doesn't come out well, you still gain the experience and you become more grateful for what ever food people serve you! :D

So, I did a lil research on how to make quick dinner rolls but man, all the recipes for me is a bit deceiving. *a bit,huh?* no, they were all lying! Quick dinner rolls are not that quick to make! They should call it if-you-have-all-the-time-in-the-world-please-make-these-dinner-rolls instead! It's the same with making other bread. The yeast needs to be activated and then come the kneading part which will burn 100calories around the arm and you have to wait till the dough rise bla bla bla

But for the sake of trying, I am still on with my mission to try this so called quick dinner rolls. So I bought Mauripan instant yeast and inside they have about six recipes and one of them is raisin bread. I read through the recipe and to my surprise, it doesn't require yeast-activation! *now I know why it is called instant*



Anyhow, these are some tips on how to make "quick" dinner rolls:
1. Make it on a sunny day. It will rise faster. I did it on a cloudy day *look at the dough* it doesn't even double up the size! But I'm not interested in waiting. So I just continue :P
2. Use evaporated milk instead of fresh milk or plain water. It will taste creamier!
3. Don't put too much sugar if you're using evaporated milk.
4. Don't worry about the dough size. It will taste of bread after all..hehe..
5. And this one will be a guarantee or motivation *what ever you call it* home-made bread is always better than the store bought ones! The hard work just pays off right after you see the buns finishes in less than 5 minutes!*if you are not thinking of keeping it for dinner* or else, you will end up saying "FOR ALL THE HOURS I SPENT?!* :P

P/s: my rosette skill suck! T_T

UKM Legal Aid Clinic

You sure know what clinic is. A place u go when u catch a flu, sore throat or u just doesn't feel so good. The doctor usually prescribe some medicine, give some advice you can rely on or most of the time, reassurance that everything will all be good :)

Now, what if u have issues regarding to your property? your family? your rights? That will surely leave you with sleepless nights isn't it? You will surely not be feeling so good but for such cases, you cannot simply go to the doctor and hope for prescription.

So, here's a solution!

Opening hours: 10am-4pm (Monday-Friday)
10am-can't remember (Saturday)
Venue: 3rd Floor Unikeb, UKM (outside UKM).

Maybe you had recently purchase something that is not according to what u have ordered and wondering whether u have any right under the law to sue or you're wondering if you could do something about the pollution a nearby factory has constantly been doing.

Cupcake project!

My friend wanted to surprise her boyfriend with rvc cupcake so she went to my house to complete that awesome mission! It's so easy when we have the same taste in designing the cuppies- simple yet striking


Them cutting 2 circles and 1 heart for hours!


White chocolate for the decoration


Here's how you do it:

Melt white chocolate for 30 seconds in microwave and whisk until smooth until it started to cool a bit. Pop in to the microwave again for 10 seconds and whisk again (this is only my version of tempering. please by all means use the correct technique :"| ) then add oil base colouring. spread on parchment paper @ plastic and cut out desired shape using cookie cutter. place in refrigerator for 5 minutes so it sets quickly. after that you can use it immediately!
