At Home Making Homemade Ricotta

I’m home! It was wonderful spending time with Jian eating around KL again and such a pleasure meeting Jason, CityGal and tankiasu ^.^ (posts coming up soon)

I apologize for not updating earlier. The transition from Nilai KTM station to LCCT suck. I should have followed my friend’s advise and take the Skybus (or is it Aerobus?) straight from KL Sentral. Well, all that doesn’t matter anymore after I arrived at the terminal. The staffs provide excellent service and the plane was on time. RM0.29 is a good bargain!

Look at the beautiful formation of the land! This part is my favourite view! I dunno where that is though. Probably Kedah?

I have held on this recipe and waiting painfully each day all the time I stayed in uni to try it :P When I got all the ingredients on Sunday night, immediately the next day I had to start on this homemade ricotta cheese. This is the curd I obtain after simmering the milk mixture.

Leaving it for the whey to drip.

My ricotta! Heehee. I was a bit rough while handling it, so it broke into ugly pieces >.< I added it to pasta and it provides extra creaminess. Yum! It’s tasteless though, so I’m wondering if salt should be added. I’m going to try with other milk variation and perhaps add lemon juice or some cream.

It doesn’t take long to make. You’d be surprised it’s so easy. Many thanks to Beck & Posh!

Baby(?) sharks being sold in one of the wet markets in KL.

It was interesting to find a couple of stalls selling baby sharks openly. Sharks are killed for their prized fins but here, small sharks that have yet to mature ended up on the fishmonger’s table for buying. Although I felt this act of killing is politically incorrect, at the same time the charm of the market lies here. There are practically a lot of bizarre things you can find in markets elsewhere around the world and this is only a small part of it.

This is for a photography event, CLICK! hosted by Jai & Bee at Jugalbandi. My submission for April’s theme – Au Naturel.

Thanks for hosting, Jugalbandi!

The Much Anticipated Semester Break

Finally over ^.^ Didn’t do well this time :( Exam can certainly make me eat and add on calories I don’t need. These are snacks I have snacked on

London roll from Lonbisco! They are very soft and the cream filling is not too sweet. I can eat all 6 pieces in a box while doing revision :P My fav is the blueberry.

Pocky chocolate banana sticks. The artificial banana flavouring smells like antibiotic when I open the package! Yuck.

I was sold by the cute monkey on the packaging and I thought eating this helps me tackle cheeky questions.

Reese’s peanut butter caramel chocolate bar. Yummy! I got this from Bangsar’s Village Grocer. Anyone knows where I can get Reese’s besides Bangsar?

This pretty much sums up exam week.. Nutrageous!
