Chocolate Marshmallow Slice to die for, for Hafiy's Birthday Celebration

Assalamualaikum & barakah monday peeps. Sedar xsedar kejap je dah masuk bulan 3. Rasa macam baru je lagi budak-budak naik sekolah. Cuaca sekarang panas betul mcm everyday je suhu cecah 37C or 38C, kesian mengenangkan anak-anak balik sekolah tengahari panas ni. Duduk dalam rumah pun rasa melekit-lekit je ketiak ni apa lagi budak-budak yg berjemur tengah panas tu. Itu la I ni asyik membebelkan anak je jangan lupa minum air kosong banyak-banyak. Kadang-kadang dah isikan air dalam botol masa turun kereta boleh dia tertinggal botol air. Adoii ... sabar je la.

Berbalik pada cerita brownies ni ... As I posted this pic on IG, Whatsapp group & Telegram, ada kawan-kawan yang dah bertanya resepi. Actually ada banyak entry lain yg pending but I have to make way for this one first lah since ada request. Thanks sgt to Kak Ayu for introducing this recipe lepas lebih 6 bulan sunyi sepi. I always trust her choice. Dia pun memberi laluan pada brownies ni dulu to break her silence on the blog, tentu special kan. Dan yang lagi tempting nya tu when she mentioned this brownies is to die for. So apa lagi, bila Hafiy request utk buat birthday celebration dia yg ke 1dekad as he keep on saying baru-baru ni (I guess he just learned about this istilah from Haziq) ;)  ... I pun pilih kek ni.

I didn't make it a big celebration pun sebab xde assistant mmg xlarat la ... just jemput family members yg kat area Ampang ni je and my uncle's family yg kat Kajang tu. Alhamdulillah, I made the right choice this time as semua yg makan bagi a very satisfactory comment. Bila I keluarkan kek tu dari fridge, semua dah excited sbb xpernah makan. The kids especially were more attracted because of the marshallows yg I tabur on top as decorations. Pastu drizzle with Hershey's choc syrup, mau x meleleh bila tengok, kan ... haha ...

Molases sugar Apple Crumble & BBQ pool party ;)

Ini dessert yang I buat 2 weeks ago. Sedap tau crumble ni. Gambar x berapa cun, xcukup nak kasi leleh and bakar orang lain utuk buat ...kes malu nak ambil gambar dessert sendiri kat rumah orang ... hehe .. Anak buah hubby jemput datang rumah baru dia, buat bbq pool party katanya ;) Jemputan datang pada tengahari hari yang sama. Macam xbest je datang lenggang kangkung ... so I pun check la my magic fridge, ada red apple ... so yg paling spontan I can think of masa tu is the Apple Crumble. Tetiba teringin lah nak buat crumble yg lain sket as a few days before that I saw a different recipe than the usual one I made kat blog dailydelicious. She added sugar to the crumble, buat I meronta-ronta nak tahu perbezaan rasanya ... haha. Berani betul kan, nak bawa gi rumah orang something I never tried before ... haha ... Alhamdulillah, I made the right choice and everyone seems to enjoy this dessert. It's not so sweet, so eating with vanilla ice cream will be great pair. This recipe is definitely a keeper and I'm gonna stick to it from now on.  Cuma I terkilan xde vanila ice cream to go with it. Nak buat vanilla sauce hari tu mmg xsempat la coz I also made kuih Kelepong a.k.a Buah Melaka.

1 ulas bawang besar
1 kiub stok ayam

Butter - lumur pada ayam masa nak bakar nnt

Blend bahan A dan B bersama-sama.

Lumur bahan blend tadi pada ayam yang telah dikelar dan perap sekurang-kurangnya 2 jam.

Lumur butter dan panggang ayam pd 180C selama 50 min - 1 jam. I guna pan ajaib, jd lebih pendek masa bakarnya.

Siram atas ayam lebihan sos perapan dlm bekas ayam.

Kami makan ayam ni dengan lebihan sos perapan.
