Savoury Cake with “Butterfly” Prawn Crackers

June 30, 2020 By Keith Leave a Comment

Another blog post freshly published by butterkicap.com. I hope you enjoy!

Cake

Savoury cakes are an acquired taste. When we hear the word ‘cake’, what we imagine is something sweet, decadent and rich. ‘Savoury’ is the last word we would think of to describe it. However, with an open mind, savoury desserts can be delicious too. But, only when made with the correct ingredients.


When it comes to flavour, it has to be strong, not pungent but with a herb-like sweetness in the end. I would say, savoury cakes are refreshing and light, perfect as an appetiser, refresher or amuse-bouche. While most of us don’t usually prepare or have an amuse-bouche as a pre-appetiser in house parties we organized here in Malaysia, I think it is high time we bring a small part of ‘haute cuisine’ to our table but of course, with a Malaysian twist.

Ingredients:

a) Savoury Cake Batter

  • 90g coconut milk
  • 90g milk
  • 2g of turmeric powder
  • 3g sugar
  • 3g salt
  • 75g flour, soft

b) Savoury Cake Filling

  • 5g red chillies
  • 10g chives
  • 10g shiitake mushroom
  • 10g onions, diced

c) Sambal Paste

  • 100g dried chillies
  • 10g garlic
  • 30g shallot
  • 20g dried shrimp

c) Sambal Aioli

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 30g lemon juice
  • 80g canola oil
  • 100g sambal paste

Method:

a) Savoury Cake Batter

  1. Whisk all ingredients and strain.

b) Savoury Cake Filling

  1. Dice red chillies and mushroom. Fine chopped chives.
  2. Shallow fry anchovies until crispy.
  3. Sweat red chillies and mushroom until fragrant.
  4. Mix crushed anchovies and cooked vegetables into batter.

c) Savoury Cake

  1. Bake at 150°C for 30 mins. Keep chill.

d) Sambal Paste

  1. Remove seed from dried chillies. Soak in hot water.
  2. Blend all ingredients into paste.
  3. Sweat paste until fragrant.

e) Sambal Aioli

  1. Emulsify egg yolk and oil.
  2. Whisk in lemon juice, sambal paste and adjust seasoning.

One Bite, Full of Flavours

I know that some of you might feel intimidated looking at the intricate work of the crispy crackers on top of the cake. You can actually opt out on that. What’s important is the flavour of the cake. Trust me, you will not be disappointed upon the look of pleasant surprise on your guests’ face. Sometimes, it pays to try out new things, right?

If you love this recipe and would like to try more ‘haute cuisine’ with a touch of Malaysian in it, feel free to let me know by messaging Butterkicap on their Instagram and Facebook profiles. Till then, happy cooking!

Me & U Dessert @ Sunrise Tower, Gurney Drive, Penang.

June 26, 2020 By Keith Leave a Comment

This blog post comes courtesy of kenhuntfood.com. Great reviews backed up with some great photos too.

When Me & U Dessert first launched in late Dec 2019, the dessert parlor caused a stir on social media… due to its non-customary serving method. The new kid on the block pushed the boundary by having the dainty desserts served on a conveyor belt. Pre-made desserts (like Cakes, Macarons etc) are served on colored plates… which determine their prices (either Rm 8 or Rm 10 per plate). Alternatively, diners can also order on the menu, in which they will be served separately. Decent place for dessert lovers but not so much for those who seek for variety.

We were not convinced with the looks of the plates on the conveyor belt so we had ours ordered from the menu. The Lovely Dutch Baby required a 30-minute wait, it was served on cast iron pan. We expected a thin, crepe-like Dutch pancake but the overall texture was not quite like that. It was a little too dry to our liking, the edges were slightly burnt and it just did not give us the satisfaction that we were looking for. Another sweet treat we had was Strawberry Cup, a pretty straight-forward dessert that had fresh Strawberries served in a cup and drizzled with condensed milk, then served with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream… nothing fancy but we’d love to have some swirls of fresh cream on top.

August 20, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Another blog post freshly published by What2SeeOnline.com. I hope you enjoy!

If you love seafood then you have to try the promotional theme Grill-From-The-Sea Buffet Dinner at Taste Cafe in G Hotel Gurney, Penang. Happening every Friday and Saturday, the spread of buffet by the hotel’s Executive Chef Mohd Firdaous showcases a plethora of Eastern and Western dishes.

We are already taken with its buffet for a few reasons. Firstly, the menu has a wide variety of freshly caught seafood in addition to poultry and many other juicy types of premium meat. Secondly, the food is grilled over hot lava stones. Thirdly, the atmosphere of the cafe with indoor and alfresco seating is cheerful and welcoming.

A lovely way to kick off the meal is with refreshing salads and cold dishes. The smoked butterfish, prawn Hawaiian salad, smoked salmon with quinoa and avocado, and scallops with arugula & berries are definitely interesting choices.

Some of the warm soups that you will find range from the Italian-American specialties like seafood cioppino, a true tomato based soup with lots of seafood flavor, to Asian classics such as crabmeat seafood soup, besides the Japanese Miso soup. If you are in a mood to go for some breads along with the soup, then opt for the freshly baked sourdough or French loafs.

Also on the spread is a variety of delectable mains. Expect to find Western and Chinese hot dishes – seafood pilaf, beef estoufade with bread knodel, chicken breast with capers and olive, oven roasted duck bigarade, and the flavorful Emince of Lamb Puttanesca. The latter is a tomato based Italian sauce dish and the chef put a spin on it by preparing it with slices of lamb!

The Lava Stone BBQ Grill Station is located on the outdoor seating of Taste Cafe. Guests will be rewarded with a myriad of seafood and meat grilled over lava stone. Imported from Indonesia, the lava stone is chosen for its cooking temperatures, which helps enhance the quality of the food by holding its natural flavor and moisture.

Salmon fillet, slipper lobster, Spanish mackerel, lamb shoulders, minute steaks, and beef satay are available for choosing. They also have a selection of dipping sauces where you can mix and match to your liking.
