late lunch at tranquerah

DH wanted to try this restaurant since it was featured in masterchef, so one sunday we both went there for a late lunch

 this restaurant is at encorp strand, not at the strand shop lot..you have to park your car and walk to find the restaurant

 inside the restaurant..some of it reminds me of my childhood in melaka, makes it kind of nostalgic to eat here

we ordered ikan gerang assam..a must try here

 sotong goreng tepung...drizzled with sweet sauce..sedap

 some of the deco here

this is the table and chairs outside the restaurant, creative i must say.

latest addition

my 5-day-old niece...yet to be named

bakes and cakes 4

rainbow cake...been wanting to bake this for quite some times and since i have extra egg whites from creme brulee, bolehla cuba. Recipe from Martha Stewart, basically a white cake recipe with addition of colours. Leceh jugak nak buat sebab u need to weigh the cake batter roughly the same weight and since i only have 2 cake pans of the same size, need to wash and reuse the moment you took out the cake.

 But the result were worth all the troubles..

from the top, with cream cheese topping (the only topping that my kids like). Would be better if the topping has slightly harden before piping, but as usual, when baking with kids around you are hardly unlikely to be able do ask them to wait for long. Gave some to my neighbours as i know we couldn't finish all this by ourselves.

creme brulee, bake this twice in 24 hours as my kids loved it and were fighting for the last one. Kesian pulak tengok..tak pe mama buat lagi, senang je, cuma it only uses egg yolks and i don't like to keep egg whites for long...dah kena pikir nak buat apa with egg whites pulak..alhamdulillah, dapat buat rainbow cake yang kat atas tu.

churros for breakfast, alia's request. Recipe using basic choux pastry recipe, the difference is you pipe and fry the dough instead of baking it.

good to be eaten straight from the fryer..top with cinnamon sugar.
