Baobei said there is a tube and she requested me to make it since i have nothing to do at home and i wanted to do something . So here it is : Kuih Pelita , a malay cake . Down layer is pandan , and the upper is coconut milk .
The tube , there are two tubes , one white (putih as you can see and the other is green ( hijau) .They have instructions written,very easy to understand , i am just showing how i did it . And some things for you guys to avoid doing .
900 ml of coconut milk / Santan divide to two . 450ml for white and green.But i only put 700ml divided to two. Too fattening don't you think-900ml...that's kinda too much.
First i did the green because it said that we have to do the green first . So first timer , i was kinda stupid . I did not follow their instruction of 3/4 cup of sugar , that's too much and thank god i did not . Because my baobei does not like sweet things and when i finish doing it , it taste quite good although without the amount of sugar stated at the instruction.I put in 5 spoons of sugar into the coconut milk of 350ml . And stirred it . Then i poured in half of the green tube ( because the instruction said so okay)
Stir it but then i realised when it gets more hot , more gluey it gets!
This is what i mean! I panicked thinking i did it wrong and i hurried put in vanilla artificial ( because that bloody shop did not have pandan artificial taste so what the hell but i was kind of surprised that it taste like pandan , maybe they had put in pandan in the powder but not much)...look below
Spread it on the pan , takes 10 minutes to cool . Put in refrigerator .
After cooling process . It looks fugly.
The next round for the whites i did not want to screw it up so i mixed everything in this bottle . Actually its baobei's herbalife bottle which i will confess later i used it for baking or maybe not . LOL.Stir it till you feel its mixed properly.If your mum or dad has a mixer , take that and shake it like a bartender and never tell them you used it XD .
Same step BUT you do not need to put in artificial this time .
I was scared it would turn out same as the green one all gluey so i poured it in when i felt it was going to thicken up like the green one and....
I put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes and i was dead wrong , so parts just needed the heat . So suddenly the steamer came into my mind . I should have stimmed it long time ago . The green wouldn't look fugly ! Sometimes instructions sucks , they say to stir it in the pot but the steamer works better!Trust me .
After coming out from the steamer , i put it in the refridgerator . Geez! I should steam it from the start ! *curse curse curse*
Use the knife edges to slowly cut the sides out separating the cake from the pan , lift it up slowly with your hand , peel it off like you are peeling off your nose strip.
Wahla , Kuih Pelita or Pelita cake ? Pelita cake sounds weird...hmmm..
I always get the first bite for i made it ! =) And yes i just woke up that time . XD .
Was suppose to look like the picture below ==" I did not know it needed to be wrapped with pandan leaf .
