Wedding Wedding

Hahaha.. was searching for some wedding things and i came across this.. and i think its good to remember on ur AD ba...

Fang.. try to remember ok? lol..

Removing Shoes
Do not take off your shoes until your chinese wedding ceremony is over. The modern custom is to remove the wedding shoes only after returning to the groom's home or bridal home after the bride's home visit to her parent's home

(i didnt take off until i completed EVERYTHING (morning).. i took off only when i went back hotel to get ready for banquet)

Bridal Bed
It is preferred that no one sleeps or sits on the bridal bed after its installation and blessing for fertility. If however, the groom needs to sleep on it before the wedding he should be accompanied by a young boy preferably born in the year of the Dragon. To leave one side of the bridal bed empty is considered a curse on the health of the couple.

Taking care of Roast Pig
If a roast pig is included as part of the bride’s home visit gifts, be careful not to break the ears or tails accidentally. An imperfect roast pig implies that the bride is not a virgin. >> er... remember the roast pig = to the pig leg? they symbolise the same thing.. the chasity of the bride

thats all for now.. hahaha

Recipe - Egg Tarts

Ello!! Hahaha.. i decided to share with all of you my recipes and hope you guys can bake nice food too! I have been baking new things every weekend and make sure my new oven is of good use! and use to the max! Althou its not the most ideal oven, but alvin told me that if i bake for long, he dont mind investing a proper oven.. :)

Ok.. my crave - EGG TARTS...

It looks like Portuguese egg tarts but its not.. its jus that my oven heat is not balance la.. but the internal custard is SUPERB.. moist and no eggy taste..


My MIL say.. (for the first time..) its better than those that are bought outside! now still waiting for the kiddos and SIL to come and give me feedback..

Below is the recipe which i did amend a little from the original one.. :)

For the Crust

• 225 gm plain flour (sifted)
  
• 125 gm butter (softened)
  
• 75 gm icing sugar
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

For the Custard

• 3 eggs
• 130 gm caster sugar
• 225 gm hot water
• 85 gm evaporated milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Prep for crust:

1. Cream (with mixer) the softened butter with icing sugar until light and fluffy
2. Mix in the egg, half portion first then mix and mix the other half
3. Add vanilla essence
4. Pour in half portion of the plain flour and mix with a spatula, then mix the other half till a dough is form. (althou original recipe ask me to use a mixer, but the dough wasnt nice, so i mix mannually)
5. Knead the dough and make sure its soft but not sticky. You can add more flour to reach the ideal texture but dont add too much otherwise ur crust will crack easily with u bake.
6. Store in the fridge while u prep the custard mixture.

Prep for custard:

1. Pour hot water into the sugar and mix. (what i did was pour half and a bit at a time till sugar is fully dissolved, i didnt manage to use all the water)
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and the evaporated milk together and i added a little more cause i quite like my custard to be thicker. Add vanilla.
3. Add the sugar mixture into the egg mixture.
   
4. Sift the custard mixture to make sure the mixture is smooth.

Bringing them together:

1. Remove dough from fridge and knead it.
2. Using a disposable aluminum cup tray, i place a ball of dough and press in a clockwise direction until the internal part is covered till the brim. I removed all the excess dough.
3. Pour the mixture into the cup trays and bake them for 10-15mins at 200degrees C

Tips:

1. Once u see the egg puffed up, leave a small gap at the oven door so that the puffed part will go down
2. use a toothpick and poke into the custard, once its able to stand by itself, then its ready!
   

Rest and Work
