Day 59 ... Ipoh Hor Fun

SG took care of the chicken. 

Trimmed the fat with surgical precision.

The prawns were at my mercy. 

De-veined them with the ability of an amateur.

Preparing the soup base was simple. We boiled 3 thigh-drumsticks with filtered water. Added a whole onion and some garlic cloves. And Seasalt. In the pressure cooker. Was ready in about half an hour.

Meanwhile, SG "loosens" the hor fun by running through the rice noodles,

shaking and tossing them with her fingers. 

The soup is read when the red button on the pressure cooker drops.

Remove the chicken. Ooh, so very tender.

Shredding the chicken is easy because the flesh just falls off the bones.

Time to dip the prawns in the hot boiling soup to cook just lightly.

Ingredients are all ready.

Rinse the hor fun in boiling water, before transferring to individual bowls.

Pour the soup over the hor fun.

IPOH HOR FUN

My oh my, we couldn't believe the hor fun soup could taste so delicious.

Bryan says you could taste the flavour of EACH ingredient.

Justine says she and the girls liked the chicken - TeeTeeS - tender, tasty and soft.

SG liked the chilly flakes. I loved the prawns - cooked just under tender by SG.

That's my bowl by the way. My first one. :D

Thumbs-up ...

Daniel would be putting his thumbs-up too. That's him watching over his sister.

Carol came a bit later, when we were all having our second bowls. 

She had to prepare dinner for Kish before she came.

After dinner, we had the delightful moist chocolate cake for dessert, with coffee.

Prepared a jug of chilled Hemoberry & BioFruity after that - 

a refreshing drink to ZEST up the evening further. :D

Day 59 ... Moist Chocolate Cake

These are the ingredients. The exact measurement remains a secret only known to the girls. 

Flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, 

buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, warm water, brown sugar and seasalt.

Then, the girls took turns to mix the ingredients at "medium" speed.

Jamie (left) and Justine (middle) broke 2 eggs in it, 

while Jessie (right) supervised.

Jessie instructed : One teaspoon of seasalt. 

Justine added the salt. 

Then Jamie commented that the teaspoon was too big.

The cake was baking in the oven at 200 degrees celcius for about 30 minutes.

While waiting for dinner, the girls watched SpongeBob.

The smell of the cake in the oven was heavenly.

MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

The cake turned out just PERFECT. 

Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, 

with a spongy texture that is is just under sweet.

SG (the twins' mum) sprinkled some rainbow rice 

over the before the photo was taken. :D

We finished one and a half (8 X 8) baking tray
of the yummy cake.
