Salam all...
Last week ended wiv a wonderful iftar wiv Mek Ilah & Chek Esa at Al-Majlis on Friday(will blog abt it another time) and Saturday was spent wiv families and frens. Spent Saturday morning at Geylang Serai wiv MAK and AYAH, buying baju for AYAH and some other stuffs. Then continued to Jurong West to meet DEAR to go Tong Garden to get the BBQ Bugles. Send the bugles to his house before going back to Jurong Point to change money. Then went to order Pizza at Pizza Hut coz we will be going to Renah & Asri’s new crib for iftar. Lovely home! It’s so simple yet nice! And i loooooveee the back door..haha..easy to sneak out! After iftar at their place, took cab down to Geylang Serai (AGAIN!) to meet AYAH & MAMA. Woahhh....super crowded! Went to buy baju for DEAR, IWAN & AYAH. Then just walk down the Ramadhan Bazaar. MAMA bought curtain, table cloth, flowers and some other stuffs. She also bought some cakes for my family. Thank u MAMA! J Reached home nearing to midnite...I’m so tired but can’t sleep...zzzz
Sunday i decided to bake Chocolate Cornflakes Macaroons (CCM). A recipe passed down from my aunt, Cik Idah. She used to bake it and it’s always been our favourite. Mak Abang used to bake one big bottle for my BRO and now since i can bake, I have to make some for him for Hari Raya (usually for his own consumption). So got the stuffs ready and i started preparing at ard 11am. The recipe stated that i have to use 150gram of cornflakes for 4 egg whites but after making a few times, i realise for that batch, i have to use more than 150 grams of cornflakes. If not the cornflakes will be abit wet and not crunchy. So for this recipe, i used abt 400gm to 500gm of cornflakes...and i got about 317 cups!

The recipe is quite easy but putting it in cups is very tiring and boring especially if you are doing it alone..so i got so tired after the 3rd tray. MAK was busy frying her rempeyek so she can’t help me. So was hoping that it finished soon. Haha..lousy me! And the smell of it coming out from the oven was so yummy! Haha..can’t wait for break fast so that i can try if it’s crunchy or otherwise. Finally, when it’s time to break fast, i quickly grab one piece and try and i got abit disappointed coz its not as crunchy as the last time i baked it. Feeling so demoralised that both cookie and CCM that i baked this year did not turn out as nice as i wanted it too. Haiz..MAK said probably i’m tired. L But its ok..i still loved to eat CCM, be it crunchy or not! So have decided that i will try and bake another batch soon....so checkout the recipe below okies..
