Godiva chocolate school

今天到Godiva 在銅鑼灣的分店上了一個朱古力課程,課程很短但很輕鬆,那師傅很年輕和風趣,每人做了幾件制成品,學費還可換貨,好抵呀!
可能是優質品牌的原因,朱古力的質量比上蛋糕堂用的好很多,當然味道也很好,趁朋友生日,還在朱古力士多啤梨上寫上她的名字,在晚上去深水灣 BBQ時送給她.
個人最喜歡用香蕉做的這個,味道很合我口味.

去廸士尼

今天七人行去了廸士尼,今天的遊人不多,排隊時間短了,玩的遊戲也多了,時間剛剛好,節目一個接一個,很暢順,連晚上看煙花的位置也很理想,還可坐着看呢!到晚上shopping時有新發現,有間shop放了一座迷你屋,內外每一個細節都做的非常仔細,可惜膠板反光,幸好有些拍得不錯!

芥蘭蝦醬牛

跟食譜學做這菜,一向喜歡吃芥蘭炒牛肉,只是做出來不太理想,今次這做法用了蝦醬和蒜蓉炒,味道很香口,效果理想,牛肉卻不大好吃,可能肉質問題,還是喜歡用肥牛炒.

碗仔翅

不難的碗仔翅,只是要把所有材料切絲很花時間,尤其將熟豬肉手撕成一條條,而東菇太大朶,切出來是一片片不是幼絲,用馬蹄粉做獻買一盒要十多塊,只用少少,可留待日後做馬蹄糕........!
最後還欠了紅醋! 唉!

整兩味

今天早了一點回家便到超市買些東西煮,買了牛扒,露筍,白果,腐竹,整兩味.......!
先煲落粥,再煎牛扒,然後用蒜蓉炒露筍,好飽好飽呢...........!




















留一些粥明天做早餐.........!
昨天遺失了公司的支票.........太大意了!!!!!真想不到這些事會發生在我身上!!!!!!!!

醉雞

跟食譜學做這醉雞,很簡單,味道也不錯,只是雞蒸過了時,那花雕酒加了雞汁很香,還是會再做的,因為尚餘大半支酒呢!
近兩星期沒有做餅,倒想做酥皮拿破侖.........!
今天無無聊聊地到商場走了一轉,買了一對platform shoes,只怕明年不流行時,就流費了,唯有趁現在流行時多穿一点啦!!

野莓三重奏

今天學的這個餅很容易做,味道也不錯,三種不同的berry, 有strawberry, blueberry,rasberry, 加上朱古力海綿蛋糕底餅,到Causeway Bay 找朋友時一起吃了半個,餘下半個都留給她吃,之後到 Sogo行街,到Polo 買了T-shirt和jeans, 他們送了一張coupon 給我,可以上14樓的Clarins 換護膚品sample,還可以半價做一次body treament 60 mins,從未做過這些treatment, 見環境不錯,便join 了這優惠,試試是否真的很relax, 大概遲兩個星期會去試試.

病

病了好幾天,靠吃西葯支撐着,今天終可以好好地休息了,沒有吃药令我很不適,直至回家焗了盒仔茶飲,希望明天會好起來.

Olaf Mooij car show

上月看過這Car show 很有趣,只是沒有拍照,難以在此與人分享,唯有在商場的網頁找到這照片,那些迷你車很可愛,不過感覺不夠安全.我記得其中一架是九一分界的髮型,很攪笑!

士多啤梨拿破崙餅

一直很想學酥皮的做法,上次去尖沙咀報名又不能成堂,終於今天去天后學了,也不太難,只是人太多,師傅不能兼顧太多,有点亂......味道很好,我很喜歡,相信會再做,可要花一整天才能完成呢!

黃梅慕絲綠茶蛋糕

昨天學了這個餅,一如以往,工序很多,味道不錯,還有一個新學員,她很興奮地等待完成這餅,自己可能做多了幾次,沒那麽興奮了,不過自己在家做時卻會很期待,亦很有成就感!

吃

這兩天都想煮些東西吃,到書店逛逛,見到兩本叫"囍宴"的私房菜食譜,跟一般的食譜有點不同,食物的賣相和風味看起來都是我喜歡的,也不太難,不過就像全部食譜一樣,沒有"排解疑難"的部份,總有些不明白的地方是沒有解說的,像"煮至起泡"是起怎樣的泡呢?是否一起泡就行呢????
Anyway ,當中有一味柑桔蜜燒蠔豉令我很有興趣試,還有一款燜鮑魚也很有興趣試做,待有空才試吧,要煮三小時呢!還要用一整隻雞來煲....!要一個很大的煲呀!
吃不到燜鮑魚便走到超市看看有沒有小鮑魚(九孔),果然有!$50一份,只剩2份,那魚檔的人見我有興趣,便說$70兩份賣給我,我便買了回家,想試試用清酒煮,卻忘記了買枝酒!!因為去到酒窖見到紅酒便看呀看,又想買開酒器,但沒甚麽選擇便走了,就這樣忘記了.....唯有試用清雞湯煮,這些鮑魚一般都是清蒸,所以味道分別不太,吃得飽飽的......滿足!!!!!

斷背山

今天看了這部近期非常熱的電影,電影拍得不錯,兩人的親熱戲份很大胆亦很真,當中的矛盾和感情也很細膩,確是一部值得一看的電影,令我想起多年前的"沒哭聲的決擇"(Boys don't cry),這電影的女主角扮演一個女同性戀者,她亦憑此片得到最佳女主角,兩部戲的片種很相似.

失落

睡夢中被電話聲吵醒了,傳來同事的聲音"老細叫你打比佢",心想他今天開會不是有甚麽事吧!
得到的回覆是我又換老細了!!!很意外,忽然想起另外幾個"老鬼"呢??再也無法入睡了,立即起床看e-mail,果然少了他們的名字,一定是被裁員了.........雖然沒有長時間合作過,不竟他們伴着我一起在這公司成長,確實很傷感,加上大家年資差不多,感到自己離這天也不遠了....唉!
不知怎的,感到有點失落,不如吃一餐好的,好等心情愉快些,走到 Pacific coffee, 叫了一客"心太軟" 和飲品,真想試試自己做.......待有時間才做吧!睡覺時間也不夠別說其它了!

糯米糍蛋糕

昨天在中環的教室做的一個餅,有很多層,底部有脆脆底,加一層海綿蛋糕,及三層糯米糍,每層之間還有芒果肉及吉士忌廉,好~~~~"漏"呀!把餅切開一件件時,那些朱古力和芒果波波好像眼和鼻呢!

情人節

今天是情人節,課堂比想像中少人,輝sir 看來心情不錯,只是對"吳生"有些不滿,課堂上有2個男仔,輝sir認真地叫他們做好蛋糕後要拍照,我正奇怪為甚麽男仔一定要拍照,原來他說有男仔送蛋糕給女友時,對方都不相信是他親手做的,以為是買回來的,所以要拍照做証據!!!
蛋糕方面,味道一般,可可粉有點苦,倒是示範的海綿蛋糕好"靚",和好好味,與一般書本及教室的做法不同,令我大開眼界,輝sir確是很"Pro",不單是教你做,也教你為甚麼這樣做,這亦是我要再到此學做蛋糕的原因.

星星海綿蛋榚

聖誕節時收到一些蛋糕模禮物,今天用了星星模焗了個蛋糕,想買strawberry或blueberry之類做裝飾,但買不到,strawberry 太貴, blueberry 太細, 芒果又太生,最後買了提子試試,原先想切碎鋪一些在餅面,但效果不好,還是簡單點好.

浪漫玫瑰園

今天無無聊聊到又一城巡一巡,那處正做promotion,放了一個鋪滿Swarovski水晶的巨型玫瑰,還有一個穿紅色舞衣的女子在表演芭蕾舞,有現場live伴奏violin 及piano,好浪漫呢!!!回到家想做蛋榚,卻有些材料欠缺,唯有做一個最簡單的海綿蛋榚,只加了些蜜餞橙皮試試,做海綿蛋榚對我來說已很容易,我想還可以早少少起床做一個當作早餐呢!!!!!

Strawberry mousse cake

今天學了一個心型的士多啤梨慕斯蛋糕,用香檳煲玫瑰花來做魚膠水,士多啤梨粒加了士多啤梨酒,顏色和味道都很香,還用了甜忌廉,餅面淋上加了粉紅色的白朱古力truffle,還有糖膏做的玫瑰花,做玫瑰花的過程令大家都笑了起來,用忌廉做裝飾時,看見另一同學畫的葉很漂亮,很有少女feel,她亦把三朵花放在中央,三朶花同tune不同色,很有創意呢!!!

法式布丁蛋榚

花了4小時才完成的蛋榚,上次上課做的那個有2種海綿蛋榚,今次只做1種,最擔心布丁做得不好.但出來的效果很好,只是脆脆底做得不好,爛了些,下次做咖啡海綿蛋榚,以免全個都是朱古力,我還加了些金箔令這蛋榚貴氣些!

自制金箔朱古力

想做朱古力給mother 可是不太理想,有些失敗了,只剩下幾粒,唯有下次再做過!

Orange pound cake

This time failed ! may be I don't have enough time to make this cake, the cake is little bit too hard and too dry .

Cream cake again

This time the cake is too "thin" that is the only thing that not make me satisfy, I think next time can make a perfect one !!!!

2 個蛋榚

今天一口氣學了2 個蛋榚,第一個用了2層燉蛋和2層海綿蛋榚,也不太難.
第二個是心形泡芙中間夾了Tiramisu,餅面的糖膏玫瑰花,也不太難,挺好玩的.
上完這兩堂要到二月中才有時間去學,有師傅教確能減低自己在家做cake 時的失敗機會,有疑問都可以搵師傅問下.

Blueberry peach cake

After a failed sponge cake last night, I make another one this morning, it is much better , I use 1 can of peach, and diced some inside the cake, still have a lot left, so decorate on the cake, the blueberries are very big, it make the cake looks smaller, I use 110g cream, it is not enough, next time will use about 200g .

Butter pound cake

Follow the cook book to make, not sure is it correct, taste like what it is, just a little bit over done.

Blueberry cheese cake

Firt time to make this cake, those blueberries are very big, I think it can use for 3 cakes.

Chocolate

I've learn a lesson for making chocolate today, that is full of fun, most of them are simple and delicious, I will make chocolate to my family and colleague on Chinese new year and Valentine's day!!!!!!!!!!

失敗之作

不知怎的海綿蛋榚焗了很久,但中間有部份不熟,但表面很乾其它就剛剛好,唯有切去半個,所以原本四方的cake變了長方型,今次cream打得好些,還買了日本strawberry,好大粒,sweet sweet !

Strawberry cake

First time to make cream cake, that is not easy to buy whipped cream , at the end I brought it in Yau Ma Tei , and need to wait for 1 day to defroze the cream, every thing go smooth, but the almond slice is not crisp enough , next time will try another one, anyway , it is yummy !!! kakaka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

油麻地一日遊

講起大長今,都想番睇多一次,之前 miss左幾集.
今日去左油麻地搵陳枝記同二德惠,同樣在上海街,在陳枝記附近有好多同類既店,基本上,任何同飲食有關既工具都有,我行左兩三間,都係覺得陳枝記平d,多人d,我見到好多買鯉魚模,預傋做年榚,
我見有個米奇老鼠型既蛋榚圈,但係比圓型貴成倍,所以都係無買,睇睇下,有隻貓出現,我摸佢個頭,佢就舐我隻手,最後買左幾樣野就去二德惠,樓下無招牌,上到去比想像中細,志在去買盒,同埋甜忌廉,買完就走,明天要做蛋榚!!!!!!!!

雲芝姬茸湯

早幾日經過千色店,見有湯包賣,買左呢個雲芝姬茸湯,個阿姐好認真同我講,要小心飲食,
又講好治癌既食療等等......令我想起一個人...........長今!!

Minerals

Just looking at my collections of minerals, suddenly want to share in this blog, here the
one that I love most - Vanadinite

Bread pudding

Christmas Present

A late Christmas present received today from my friend, I like it very much ! very useful for me, I will bake cake by using them, thanks to Suen.

Banana bean curd cheese cake

Taste like eating beancurd not cheese cake !!!! the cake is too big for me, and it take very long time to bake...............!!!!! and it use many many sugar ! FAT !!!!!

First time home made

This is the first time I make cake by myself alone ! I follow the demonstration at the internet, not that difficult, this is the one that I wish to bake for a long time - cheese cake ! I wish to make blueberry cheesecake , but the caned blueberry is very big, I may need to bake within a week, I don't want to eat cheese cake many times a week, So I just thinking to make a big one, so that it is easier to finish the blueberries ! Talking about this New York cheese cake, taste is fine, similar as the one that I ate at coffee shop, the sour cream too "sour" next time I will add more sugar to make it sweeter !

4th cake

This is the first time I make sponge cake,
not that difficult,
I make many flowers on the top (other people only few pcs)
and some icing sugar of course ( that's my flavour) !!!
and I decided to make cake at home later.

3rd cake

This one is most exciting , because the chocolate cover need to do it very fast around
10 second, I just afraid I can't finish it , but I did it !!!!!! very happy !

第二個蛋榚

這是我做的第二個蛋榚,因為是午油蛋榚,所以好 heavy,我好喜歡做裝飾個部份.

我的第一個蛋糕

第一次上蛋糕課程,老師預傋了海綿蛋糕底,我只須打發好忌廉,將蛋糕橫切成三片(我好論盡,切爛晒!)然後將打好的忌廉塗在每片蛋糕之間再加上栗子蓉,然役切成心形...........將糖膏搓成一片,包在蛋糕上,再將紅色顏料"彈"在餅面(這過程令我忍俊不禁!)然後加上裝飾,便成!
這課程挺好玩,下次要再做其它蛋糕試試!
