3. When it is mixed then add the egg one by one. The last step is pouring the milk / coconut milk into the batter. The consistency will be sooo light.

Pudding Sutra - Silky Pudding

This pudding used to be something that i always drooled whenever i went to a bakery shop. Why did i drool? Well besides for the obvious reason of very delicious appearance that i believe is not deceiving on this case, but mostly because of the price. For a small cup of it, the price is always exorbitantly expensive compare to other snacks. So therefore the drooling expie was happening. Until one day one of my cousins made this lovely pudding for meeeeee *scream and shout happily*

And in fact it is very easy to be made and simple. Lets take out the apron my lovelies.....

Ingredients:
1 Can of condensed milk
5-6 cans of water (using the can of the milk)
Sugar as You want to (or just follow the numbers that has been mentioned on the package of the agar-agar)*
1 pack of Agar-agar(**
A bottle of squash syrup
Mandarin Orange or other fruits

How To:
1. Boil 1 can of milk with the water. And put the sugar and 1 pack of Agar-agar  also(***. Cook in average fire. Wait until its boiling but do not let it flow out from the pan.
2. When it is done, pour number 1 into small cups that we have prepared. Let the pudding hard and then for each cup pour 1 spoon of the syrup and the fruit on top of it. Walaaaaa You get my lovely pudding

Oseng Kangkung or Saute Water Spinach

As much as i love to cook and enslaved myself in creating something but there is this sacred rule that i always withhold  whenever i go to kitchen. And it is already like a dogma for nee lol. I do not like to cook something that is ridiculously wasting a lot of time, energies, power etc. Food should be healthy for body, mind and soul not only for the eaters but also for the cook. So i always like to cook and eat something that is effortless in creating them. Somehow i feel cruel if i eat a food that has been made with a lot of effort. Remember wasting time is something in which Islam forbid,and i do not say cooking for hours is bad, just not my style.

Ingredients
=======
1 bunch of Water spinach chop and separate the stems and the leaves
1 bunch of baby kailan chop

Saute
====
1 leek to bechopped
