I've been baking pineapple tarts for the past 2 days:):):) Was shopping with my mum on Friday @ Suntec when i suddenly feel like baking.. Since CNY coming~~~ so I wanna attempt my Pineapple Tarts again! and i dun wanna wait till the next day cos i too gan chiong.. hehe.. I reached home ard 10 pm den went down to the nearest supermarket to get the ingredients.. HENG!! SHOP'n'SAVE opened till 12 midnight=> Hiz......... guess i was too tired and hungry by the time i came home.. so i kindna rushed thru' the process.. and e first attempt not very successful leh.. in the end I've to finish the WHOLE batch for my supper.. haha!!! i nearly died.. soooo heaty! and the moment i woke up the next morning.. I start to bake again:):):) haha.. THIS TIME ROUND.. I'm super paitient!!! I baked all the way from 10 plus in the morning till 4 plus in the afternoon!!! and it's quite successful this time round.. tho' i got feedback from Clara and ShuHui that i should add more pineapple.. haha.. tink i too 'kiam siap' liao..
Anyway.. I met the girls for some window shopping yesterday cos i Haben got my pay (TOO BROKE!).. We met in taka cos i wanna pass my colleagues the tarts I baked=D LUCKY i went cos' my Pay is HERE!!!! YAY!!! and i realised i got 300 bucks extra:) Another Reason for me to splurge a lil' (JUST A LITTLE~) Yup.. so since i haben cash in the cheque.. i can only window-shop still.. but i still cant resist the temptation when i saw a polka-dotted purple skirt!!! It's sooo damn NICE!!! my gawd.. hehe.. i bought it in the end:):):) HAPPY~!~!~ OH and we went FOOD REPUBLIC @ Wistma yesterday.. The place looks damn cool! and there's alot of variety there as well!!!! RECCOMMENDED PLACE to go if u r on a budget and looking for GOOD food=D
.
ALRIGHT.. shall display some photos of my baking session:):):)
~The INGREDIENTS~
Starting.... *EXCITED* haha.. cant take anymore pics after this cos my hands too oily =p
Putting the rolled tarts into the OVEN!
I LOVE those type of tarts that enclose the pineapple filling instead of having the whole chunk of paste on top of the pastry.. so i rolled the paste into the pastry in an elongated shape so that i can bite a lil' @ a time:):)
Almost Done...
VIOLAAaaa!!!
*Feeling Accomplished* I made like 4 batches of tarts!! damn alot:):)
I packed them into boxes to be given away=p
The last box and the circular box beside the stack of boxes are meant for ME! and my family!!! SUPER ALOT LA!!!! got the big box at the bottom got 3 layers (Each layer got like 20++ pieces).. BUT!!!!!!!!!! when i came home yesterday night... the moment i opened the door.. i saw emptied boxes... I was super SUPER disappointed!!! cos i haben try the second batch yet... I haben let LES try also... It was meant for our supper... My mum told me that they tasted so nice (not flaunting here) that my grandma and aunt came and together they finished the two boxes.. (Around 90 pieces!!! all of them!!!) and what pissed me off is that.. my aunt tapau one box back cos they cannot finish den she brought back for the next day consumption WITHOUT leaving a single piece for me... WHAT COURTESY! they really too "bu ke qi" le... Hiz.. it's not that I'm stingy.. REALLY!! I'm more than willing to bake for them if they like my tarts (it's a compliment) but @ least have the courtesy to leave some behind right?! but nvm la.. what's done cannot be UNDONE.. i shall bake again this Sunday bah..
.
soo.. with our supper gone~ I cooked supper for LES!!! haha.. YAY!! another TASK ACCOMPLISHED!
