Egg tarts are loved!






Oh my.. I've just realized that I haven't been updating any posts up @ here for about more than a week *fingers counting!
It actually breaks my record of the year and I haven't spilled out any words @ blogspot for the entire week. I usually will write a short post in weekends to keep my blog vividly survives but a big no for last week! Gah, no wonder I find it a little rusty due to my absence.
Anyway, I've got good excuses of not updating my blog. I've been busy with my Human Biology extended task 2 over the past weekends and also I'd to complete my revision for Maths and Chemistry tests. Otherwise, I wouldn't have studied! I would have gone to watch Supernatural drama.
I didn't manage to get enough sleep last Sunday's night. I had been staying up and struggling very late until 4am. I am fed up of this life! I have to put a big blame on Roland, my Human Biology lecturer and Science department! I should have slept for 7 hours or more but the assignment just ruined my sleeping time! When I woke up at 7 o' clock the next day, I wasn't able to straighten up my spine and I couldn't walk like a normal human, I think I did walk like a chimpanzee or a monkey because there wasn't much energy left in my oxygen tank and my eyelids were about to close during biology lectures *yawns.



I did bake some egg tarts the previous weekends. My inspiration of baking egg tarts comes from Coles lemon tart. For me, lemon tart might taste weird and not that mouthwatering. Credits to Mabel, Freda, Rachel and Teng for helping me out during the first attempt of baking egg tarts. Well, although I didn't succeed in baking egg tarts for the first round because I used self-raising flour to make the pastry instead of using plain flour. It ended up with a Portuguese egg tart look rather than look like the egg tart I picturesque. It is like the pastry covered all over the filling and the filling texture was more like a muffin rather than egg filling.
But I did suceed in baking egg tarts for the second round and the following round. I am going to reveal the secret here, I used plain flour to make the pastries and moulded it into shape. And this time I could see the yellowish baby texture egg filling!
Oh my god, it tasted really sweet and scrumptious *ROFL! I gave out some for my housemates, the girls of unit 34 and some friends of mine! I was quite excited by the positive feedback's I had received! Jeez, I will be baking chocolate muffins this coming Saturday! I hope my recipes work out good!
Oh god, I just realised that I am so in love with baking desserts. I wish I could have all the recipes and baking utensils ready so that I can bake whatever and whenever I like! It will be better if I were back in Malaysia, I could have my mom lending me a hand with baking all sort of yummy cakes! I miss my mom...
