Yesterday was a MAD day.. i practically rushed from one place to another.. Went Church in the Morning with Les and after that, His aunties booked me to bake pineapple tarts with them.. Hahaa..Went his house for some home cooked food:):) His house looked like a Red Light District from the outside.. the Porch hanged alot of red lanterns and red banner.. Had a damn full lunch and set to work on the pineapple paste after makan-ing=D
"The Dough War" with his cousins:):):)
.
.
.
and SO the ULTIMATE Winner IS:
..

.
The Pastry only took about 45 min.. this time i made a super big portion so very hard to manage the texture sia and somemore with the young cousins ard.. It was CHAOS!!! After making the dough.. i tot it's time to start rolling in the Pineapple paste.. but the Aunties Declared it's Tea-Break Time!!! WaLau.. i was so damn bloated frm lunch liaooo.. Initially i dun wanna eat cos i was feeling verrrrry Constipated also..(AGAIN!!) haha.. but i cant resist the Temptation!!! I tried the dumplings... it was sooooo SHIOOokk~!~!~ I'm going to get Les to buy for me every week if PoSsIbLe~~~ hahaha!!!!!
And So.. after Tea-Break.. We FINALLY emark on our baking session...
The "TESTING BATCH"
"Brushing Egg Yolk on the tarts"
.
.
This time it's SUPER DUPER efficient.. we only take bout 2.5 hours!!! to finish all the paste!!! as compared to 7 hours the previous time ( but i was the only one making the previous time la.. but Half the Serving)..
~~In the Oven~~
The Oven much bigger than my House's so can bake alot per batch...
Verdict: The pastry is Just Nice!! YaY *Bows* but i bought the wrong paste this time round=< !!! It's too sticky and it tasted quite flat.. But it's not MY FAULT anyway.. so long as the pastry taste nice!! haha.. Who says expensive stuff are always good???? I bought the pre-made paste at a specialised bakery shop at a higher $$$ and it ended up tt the previous packet i bought at Shop'n'Save tastes NICER~~~
.
AND SO~~~ i "KOP" the remaining of the dough back cos i got somemore paster left from previous round at home.. haha.. den can bake nicer tarts FOR PERSONAL CONSUMPTION ONLY~~~
Before I left his house for dinner.. i go play play with his house's Koi.. MY GAWD~~ They have grown sooooo HUGE!!! and i touched their Scales.. Euwwww.. I still dun like fish!!!
**********
After i reached home.. I set down to bake the TARTS AGAIN!!! STRAIGHT after dinner...Baked until i nearly forgot tt I've an Online Meeting and tons of NOTES to print.. By the time I finished printing the notes.. It's like almost 12 a.m. liao and cabbed down to Les Hall for supper.. Wa liew.. I nearly died from exhaustion last night...(Cos' i din sleep the night b4~)
Now I'm soooo sian of baking le!!! (GUESS WHAT? My mum just called me telling me that his colleagues wanna buy the tarts from me after trying them out... so she asked me to go buy the ingredients tonight.......................................) I dun tink i have the time to do my tutorials before the New Year is over..
*JiN* slept soundly at 4:47 PM
