Malaysian Pandan Crepe with Sweet Coconut Filling

Kuih Ketayap also known as Kuih Dadar/Tayap. These Malaysian crepes are flavored with pandan juice and filled with sweet coconut filling. They make a delicious sweet treat or snack anytime of the day. Memandangkan kt Jubail, Arab Saudi ni ssh sgt nak dpt kuih Malaysia, kalau ada pun mahal bg aku, Kuih Ketayap 4 rolls RM10 lbh krg. Kat Malaysia beli baru RM2.00 plus tak kenyang makan 4 rolls je. Makanya, isteri kena creative untuk memenuhi selera suami dengan mencari resepi2 di google. Kuih ni favorite husband aku, dia siap bawak bekal 'Gula Kabong' dari Pahang sana. Gula merah/gula melaka tak sedap katanya.

Actually, kuih ketayap ni aku dah 3 4 kali buat, kena try and error sbb sebelum ni mana penah buat kuih2 gini, kalau nak makan, beli je.haha So dah byk kali buat, aku dah expert dan dpt thumbs up dr husband aku, kira lulus cemerlang lah.

Bahan-bahan pun senang nak cari dan sekejap je nak buat. Pandan Leaf is the core ingredient of kuih dadar/kuih tayap. Kat sini ada jual di LULU Hypermarket. kalo kira 10 helai daun pandan tu SAR5-6. Ssh nak dpt daun pandan kt sini, kira barang rare lah tu. Kat Malaysia kutip tepi rumah je. Nowadays, many kuih vendors use artificial coloring for convenience purposes, but the end product usually lacks the tempting sweet fragrance of pandan leaves. Also, the coloring appear somewhat bright or fluorescent green, a sure-fire tell tale sign of artificial coloring. That's why aku lebih suka guna daun pandan, natural color dan wangi je bila makan. Tak elok pakai pewarna2 ni. 

Now, aku nak share resepi Kuih Ketayap, kadang-kadang aku agak2 je sukatan tu. Maklumla dah expert...kahkahkah

3. Heat a little butter in a non-stick pan and ladle some batter to make a thin pancake. Cook until it's done.

The Hunt for Uncle Tetsu's

Selamat petang!

After Solat Jumaat, we go to Dhahran Mall to grab world famous cheese cake, Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese Cheesecake, which has just landed in the city. Kena pegi awal, Ever since Uncle Tetsu's opened in last month, I had been hearing lots about this Japanese cheesecake shop and how there are always, continuously, constantly, and regular long line-ups in which to buy their infamous Japanese cheesecakes. 

Lines-up punya pnjg masa awal2 pembukaan @ Dhahran Mall

Dah sampai Dhahran Mall, tgk dekat Uncle Tetsu's shop tak ramai org lg. Masuk je kedai, dah bau dah cheesecake, sedap sangat baunya. So, cepat2 grab one box dan bayar. They only make about a dozen cheesecakes in 15 minutes (depending on if all of them pass their quality test) and thus have the long-standing rule that each customer in line can only buy two cheesecakes at a time.  

Packaging pun menarik tertarik 

Dah dapat cheesecake trus ajak husband balik..haha Dhahran Mall tu dahla satu jam dari Jubail. Beli tak sampai 10 minit dah ajak balik..sbnrnya tak sabar nak makan cheesecake tu. Tapi pusing sekejap dalam mall, then pegi coffee shop beli hot chocolate. Igt nak makan cheesecake dalam kete sambil hirup hot chocolate...mat saleh gitu. 

On the way back home, we tried the cheesecake. Ahh!  I was excited.  It was 6 inch of cheesecake and a little on the small size (when you compare it to normal-sized cakes). Kecik jgk, harga boleh tahan.  At SAR29 for a 6" cheesecake, it's pretty light on the pocket. It was really soft when cutting it. The texture of it is  very, very soft and fluffy also not very cheesy at all.  It was a bit smooth and I could definitely taste the quality in the cake. Now I could see what people mean when they say that Uncle Tetsu’s cheesecake is very light and fluffy - tasted like a cloud!

Fluffy, Syok nak potong2. haha

Sekali sekala nak merasa. Kat Malaysia ada jugak, tapi tak pernah pegi pn. Harini sbb teringin nak mkn cheesecake.
