向 Kueh Lapis 千层糕挑战的周末

星期五下午与auntie Irene, Sharon, L-5 和他的同事Rayomond约好去新达城逛PC Show, 之后auntie Irene 提议不如一块回去她的家试用她的新烘炉做kueh lapis. 除了Sharon 没有跟随我们 ,大伙儿买齐了所需的材料后,就马上着手kueh lapis 的制作。。。这可是我第一次尝试做kueh lapis.... 在此要感谢Auntie Irene 的细心教导!



烘烤中的千层糕.....是用auntie Irene 新添的烘炉 Turbo Mira TKWS1523Q-Q1 制作的。 它的容量是23litres, 具备了烘焙layer cake的功能,因为它有Upper and Lower Heating with Convection Fan,而且价钱非常大众化. Auntie Irene 虽已拥有了一个性能不错,多功能的大型烘烤炉, 但是它却没有上下火功能,所以她屡试做千层糕效果都不理想,小有遗憾,这次终于让她如愿以偿了,重温旧梦了。。。kueh lapis 不负众望,漂亮的呈现在我们的眼前,熟度软度恰恰好,口感绝佳,除了混合香料,也加进少许香醇的rum ,使蛋糕散发出更加迷人的芳香,对于第一次尝试就得到如此成绩,大家都喜形于色,auntie Irene 也惊喜这一个价钱不超过新币200元的烤炉能烘出如此理想的千层糕,不禁对此烘炉另眼相看哦!嘻嘻~

以上两张也是我们星期五做的kueh lapis!在此也要谢谢我的得力左右手,L-5 和 Raymond 从旁相助,他们分别帮忙称蛋糕糊和每隔五分钟把蛋糕取出再放进,才能迅速的完成任务!嘻嘻!
Auntie Irene 鼓励我索性把剩余的牛油和炼奶拿回家练习做。。。于是我在星期六下午闭门修炼刚学会的功夫咯! 原本是要让auntie Irene 好好的休息一天,诛不知她老人家闲不下来,星期六早上打来告诉我她看到新烘炉把千层糕做成后,也跃跃欲试,打算自己也做一个来给星期日到来的Mary, Oink Oink 和 Sharon 品尝.....这就是我在家独自一人单枪匹马挑战的kueh lapis. 由于是用我新买的烘烤炉,只烘了两次蛋糕,还抓不到它的脾气,火力掌握得不好,千层糕要接近完成时,温度高了许多,以至表皮烘得容易焦,吓得我把温度提早调低,导致最后两三层不熟透,唉。。。美中不足,希望下次会做得很好,不会再有焦皮出现咯,哈哈~~ (注:照片拍的效果不好,比原来的蛋糕更黑了许多哟!)
这就是我在家里制作的layer cake 特写,唯一可以安慰的是层次线条还算匀称分明,虽然口感会比较Q,但是味道还是一样的香。。。后来尝到auntie Irene 在星期六再做的 kueh lapis, 还是觉得它的口感像cake,比较好吃!



这是auntie Irene 星期天与我们分享的新菜单-香酥五香肉,原来这道deep fried pork cutlet 是auntie Irene念中学时,学校食堂售卖,最令她念念不忘的菜肴。。。黏上自制脆炸粉,把肉炸至熟,效果外脆内嫩,吃了齿颊留香,拌以青瓜片, 爽口解腻,绝配!auntie Irene 庆幸经过多次尝试,终于让她找回年少时期记忆中的味道和口感。 这道auntie Irene 私房菜应该会在往后的日子与大家分享,大家要耐心等待噢。。。

哈哈哈,差一点忘了谢谢auntie Irene 为我们准备的晚餐,也谢谢Sharon and L-5 的帮忙,Oink Oink & Mary 的莅临!嘻嘻~

Margaret,
The Turbo oven can bake the kuih lapis so well, my oven very difficult to control the heat too. If I dont have a oven, I will consider to buy that too cos its a value-4-$ buy, hor?

:-D

:-D

Chilli onik,
物以稀為貴嘛!久久才讓你見我一次那你才會珍惜嗎!:) 還有。。。 I am not as 山龟 as you, I just want to make sure only meh!

Margaret,

总算你已成功了会烘kueh lapis.你上层烧焦, 因为你的温度太高了, 最后一层你需调低火度。Anyway, 做得不错。下次再试烘,加油哟!

Margaret said...

Hi Becky

ya...house renovation and moving have a lot of things to attend to...try not to get too stressed up...till end of the year still have plenty of time...if too stressed, perhaps bake something u are good at could be quite therapeutic in a way...hahaha... that's what one of my ex-colleages told me...

hi Sharon

ok lah noted, u said it many times liao....hahaha...

hi L-5

thank you....and thanks for your encouragement.

hi Mary

hahaha u know...both Oink & I remembered the last time u heading for Changi Airport also asked direction from auntie Irene, so worry that u lost your way la...

Margaret said...

hi Joanne,

post up comment 时才看到你刚留言。。。

你回来了吗?这么快?哈哈~谢谢你的提点,我用220度C, 烤炉温度越做越高,看来下次要改用210了(和auntie Irene一样),上两层我已开始调低了,但是表皮焦而且烘得不够熟透。谢谢你的鼓励,我会再试的。
