Fried anchovies mee hoon

After busy the whole morning with my moon cakes,  it is time for me to find food...just because i need to finish my works before my baby wake up I skipped my breakfast this morning.... that is not good for health actually especially those people whose on diet program.  But i have no choice either...huhu

I wanted to eat something simple and easy and it is not fattening  too(is it????...)hehehe.

Ok la... My baby taking his nap, im free  now to share with us what i've taken for my brunch. Just to let us know my cooking ingredients are  very simple and most basic. You just can reach them on your kitchen rack .  I dont used much of onions or herbs in my cooking. I am very sure most of us don't keep all kind of herbs in our kitchen cabinet  or maybe some doesn't know what kind of herbs even. Am i right??  So my cooking is base on my family taste. They don't like onion. They allergic to the onions smell.hahaha.... But i still have it sometimes and a must in my sambal. Ssshhhhh!!!!

Hopefully my recipes will suit and useful to us.
Jom ... Jom....Jommm...lets look at the recipe now.

Blueberry butter cake

Butter cake is the only cake my late mom used to do when the kids go back to kampung for holidays. Every holidays my brothers and sisters will send thier older kids to spend holidays with my parent. They love to balik kampung.. They enjoy playing, fishing, swimming in the cold storny stream behind the house and no one stop them. Every year they just couldnt wait for year end holidays because they can stay longer there. Now all grown up, they seldom go back to kampung. its not fun for them anymore. Most of my nephews and nieces are now studies in colleges and secondary. My eldest son and 3 of his cousins are still in primary. So its now thier turn having fun when balik kampung.But since my mom not around we very seldom go back too. My last time went back was 2 years ago. We all miss her very much. Miss her foods. Miss the smell of the aroma from the fire woods cooking place.They woke up at 5am to go to church every morning. When they back home she will straight away start the fire and cook nasi bungkus(this our Lun Bawang and kelabits food)that are for our breakfast and lunch. Everybody  are still under thier blanket...when we wakeup everything done just makan only.. Miss her much!
My fathers was alone since mom passed away 6 years ago. He will come over to pay us a visit once in a while..huh! what a sad story. ok we stop here. lets talk about mom butter cake now.   I have no idea how she cooked it..baked or steam. What i know they have no oven, kampung no power supply ok...haha. My niece told me she just need sugar,planta, eggs and flour. She dont even weight the ingredients but the cakes was awesome...she when back home tried to make one at home but she failed. Me too never bother to asked her for recipe because at that time im not very interested in baking and thats it!

Bah....jom jom jommm...layan recipe dulu.

oh! i almost forgot! this cake really made me headached. Two days ago when i baked it used my friend's recipe, it failed. Second time i tried to used Bee(u can get her recipe by clicking this) recipe and disappoint me too, it failed again...OMG!!! i keep on wondering what was wrong. I even post a question on Bee's blog asking her what is going wrong.
This morning when i prepared my snow skin dough for tomorrow use, i asked my maid to get me the container which contained the fried glutinous rice flour....guess what????hahahaha........ it was the flour that i used for my 2 butter cakes!!! What a waste!!! But not our dogs. They enjoy thier glutinous rice flour butter cakes... Now conclusion is there are nothing wrong with the recipes but me myself. Very sorry to both of you Josephine and Bee.

Today i try to used back my Josephine recipe..yes! its turn out great. Huh! what a relieved!.
Now lets check the recipe.
