first attempt

it had been a long while since the last time i enter kitchen to prepare food for love one
i used to baked cake, cooked variety of tong sui, make jelly and etc
but now i can only talked about it instead of putting it into action because i had forgotten those preparation steps
my skills had been out of practice 
one reason i no more put effort into this area because it reminds me about the unpleasant past memories
everything had became vain no matter how motivated i was to learn and cook these foods
therefore,i am discouraged

however...
today i am picking up the theoretical knowledge i had and try to cook something for him
i promise to cook him tang yuan during solstice festival which was a few months ago
i only manage to do it now,before my sis get back to KL
so, this is the time i got my privacy
so happen to be i manage to have a glance on the recipe for tang yuan in bookstore a week ago
better for me to get it done while the recipe is still fresh in my mind

the overall process went smoothly
i manage to get the ingredients i needed
and it turns out the way i wanted
just that the result...is a bit differ from my expectation
have to admit that i need more practice 

firstly, i wake up early in the morning to cook the sweet potatoes
it is needed to make dough on later stage
i thought it will make the dough sweet with a good aroma
well..maybe something goes wrong somewhere
it doesn't taste like what i wanted
secondly, coming to the making of dough
i know that i can't make good dough all the while
but i give it another shot and tried my best
i mix the sweet potatoes with some glutinous flour
planning to do it in taro balls way
i even cut the dough into heart shape
haha...is this a symptom of overwhelming with his love???
lastly is to prepare the tong sui
i boiled a pot water with pandan leaves and ginger slides first to bring up the aroma
then only i put in sugar
i think it taste good


ready for cook
oops~i forgot to took photo on my finished work!
