Salaam Ayu. The first time I laid eyes on these cakes of yours was yesterday night. Sampai nak tidur pun dok terbayangkan kek ni tau. Rasa macam nak buat semalam malam jugak tapi takut pulak neighbours marah, bunyi mixer! Hehehe... So this morning, I just can't wait to try it out. Tak sia-sia mama 'mabuk kepayang' semalam memikirkan kek Ayu ni. Bukan saja sedap tapi rupa paras pun cantik jelita. Thanks ye Ayu. InsyaAllah I will post it in my blog soon. Minta halal ye...

Salam Susanna,
Thank you for the compliments!
Were you the one that asked for
the 'talam beras' recipe in english?
Cos, ur name sounds familiar..hehe

Anyway, I bought the acuan bunga, dah lama actually. Not at baking shop ke whatsoever, tapi kat kedai 'Apek' yang jual household stuffs, like plasticlah, periuk lah..so I happenned to see those acuan and just grabbed them, if were to tell you exactly, dont think i can cos, the shop now has been taken over by another owner yg sell other stuff.

If your cousin nak kena cari them not sure kat mana..tapi the image of the acuan is here http://citarasawan.blogspot.com/2010/03/acuan-dan-loyang.html you can go here and see the 2nd image acuan bunga tu.

if you dont have the acuan, you can still use other moulds yang sewaktu dengan nya ya..

Anyway, Susanna, can I come and visit your blog, if you have?..maybe we can link the add..
Thanks again for visiting..hope you try some of the recipes here and hope you like them too..

Hi Ayu,

Wow! U got very good memorylah! yes...same person tht mintak talam beras recipe in english. My malay not very good nowadays cos takde chance practise in Perth!Thks for the talam beras recipe - dah try n sedappp!!:)
Sigh! Tapi disappointed tak dapat beli acuan bungatu. Acuantu ...retro look - remind me of cake i beli when i was a kid. But nevermind - i will try this recipe using the egg custard mould. Not as pretty but taste more important,right?

Thks for sharing so many recipes, Ayu!I dun have a blog cos no skill macam Ayu. Keep up the good work. I love to drop by ur lovely blog many times cos u have so many interesting recipes!

Susanna, Perth

p/s In future, kalau Ayu dapat spot mana2 acuan bungani - email me, ok!

Ayu said...

Susanna - hehe..not really good memory, its just that not many yang nama Susanna @Perth Australia..!

The acuan yes it looked quite retro right..hehe were you from Singapore too?..dah bermaustatin di Australia lah ya.. Yes important is the taste..acuan tak kisah lah..

Ok, will email you if i come across the acuan in the future ya..
For the recipes, mostly not from me I cuma trial and error aje and I will note down where the sources i got from..so kalau sedap, oklah kalau tak tak sedap itu yang frust aje..hehe..

Ok, Susanna, hope to hear from you more often here ya..take care!.

Hi Ayu,
Oh dear! Maaf - i need to clarify a teeny little misunderstanding...i dun celebrate Hari Rayalah!:) Im Chinese but I studied Malay cos i grew up in Malaysia. In Melaka, i have a few Nyonya buddies - so very common for us to mix up Malay n English when we chat to each other.
Sigh!I ran out of ovalette but when i can get my hands on that, will definitely bake this red bean cakes 1st thing! I totally agree with mamafami tht the pic of ur red bean cakes really makes one have the urge to bake a batch immediately!Ur Pic is soo..awesomelah!

Ayu said...

Hi Susanna,
Oh dear! Maaf - tooooooo!!!!..hehe..
well u really speak excellent Malay lah!!!..aduh, sampai i really really thought u are a malay..haha so so sorry!!..

I really admire your kefasihan berbahasa melayu-(your fluency in malay!)..really really salute lah!!
If you tak bilang I really mati2 ingat you are a malay!!..the reasons, i thought u are one was because of the recipes(kuih) that u tried to do(seldom chinese readers asked for malay kueh recipes)..of course when u first asked me to translate the talam beras recipe i thought, u must be staying too long in Australia that u forgot some of the malay, words..wakakah..(cause in my mind you are a malay)..rupa2nya you are not!!..hehe

lagi satu i noticed ur name spelt pun lain sikit, but i just hack care, pun ingat malay name also can be spelt that way...hehe..
Ok, now I dah tahu !!..thanks for informing me, kalau tak masih ingat u melayu..nasib baik u bilang kan..

Hi Ayu,

Im flattered u think im Malay n even tht im fasih in Malay! Hehehe...when i try to speak fully in Malay in Malaysia...eg dipejabat kerajaan...many times , i get stuck in mid-sentence... n go err...err...!! alamak! Whts the malay word for tht?!:))
I memang suka kuih2 n masakan Melayu cos of my childhood in Melaka. I think most chinese in Sg like my hubby n my in-laws are not very exposed to Malay food. The closest they get is Roti prata n satay. The standard in most HDB housing estates is really teruklah but they cant tell the diff!:) When i go back to Sg, i always go to Geylang Serai..near Blk 10 Haig Rd to eat the satay, mee goreng, murthabak, air tebu etc..taste really sedapp n authentic... like the ones back in Malaysia! My poor hubby - hes really Cheeena, even for a Chinese ie he doesnt eat Chilli sauce with his chicken rice!! But bila dah kahwin - i told him Sorry mydear, u have to learn to eat chilli cos i cannot live without it! Aiyoh! grumble...grumble!@#$... but learn he did, he can now eat rendang, mee rebus, laksa etc...( with lots of water )...but for dishes tht have separate sambal like nasi lemak, he will still omit tht! hehehe...
