Kue Tiau Soup

I'm glad I shared the story of cupcakes with all of you. At least you guys don't have to learn the lesson the hard way. Haha... How come I didn't think about the consequences before ya? Mmm I guess, it's because, nobody had told me about it before, that's why!

Anyway, last Tuesday morning, I received a call from a close friend asking me, why I didn't reply to the sms she sent me the night before. Told her that I didn't get any sms from her on either phone. She wanted me to make for her a rainbow pudding for her hubby's birthday and will pick it up on her way back from work. And as usual, Mama will always say yes without even looking at the recipe first ! ....mama kan selalu je yakin boleh... belasah je.... hehehe.... But with this recipe, I am quite confident as I've done it before. The only part that I wasn't sure of was how am I going to put the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABA BUCUK on top of the pudding. She had suggested to write it on a piece of melted cooking chocolate. OOKAYYY... but how should I do it? Fret later mama, I said. Let's just make the pudding first. Once the pudding was setting in the fridge, I started on the chocolate. Don't really know how, but mama just redah jer!!!! And here was the end product.....

Alhamdulillah, the feedback that I got from her family is a satisfactory. Thanks Lea for always trusting in me and for always making me gabrah! Happy birthday Lan!! Don't worry, it's just a number okay! Hahaha... And since quite a few visitors had asked me for the Rainbow Pudding, well, you can find the recipe in The Rainbow Pudding entry ya...

Recipe to share today is my simple Kue Tiau soup. Cooked this a few days back when we're tired eating rice.... psst... not that reason actually, it's me who is tired of cooking the dishes... hahaha.. Anyway, we need variety right? Hahaha.. good excuse huh? And wallah... mom enjoyed the meal.. alhamdulillah....
