Visited Penang last week with my uni friends to hunt for some great food and shopping.
We took a bus from UUM to Butterworth, then a ferry into Penang island.
There are many public transports available so no worries, it's very convenient for tourists who do not have a car there.


So, what can you do in Penang?

As we get older, it’s not just our wardrobe and taste in music that change. After age 30, our metabolism begins to gradually decline, which means we have to be even more selective about the foods we eat. There’s less room for empty calories from sugary drinks, desserts, and snacks, and greater demand for foods with a high nutrient-to-calorie ratio. At the same time, many people develop a greater appreciation for healthy eating as they age, and they’re on the hunt for multitasking foods that can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol and protect against diseases like type 2 diabetes.

You are not a true Malaysian if you do not love Nasi Lemak. Nasi Lemak or Coconut infused rice is usually served with a spicy sambal, sliced cucumber, deep-fried anchovies, fried peanuts, and eggs, either hard-boiled or fried.
As foods are getting more pricey out there, isn't it great if we could make our own favorite dish at home? This version of Nasi Lemak, served with a Dried Anchovies Sambal recipe by Seasalwithfood is what I am going to share with you today. It's simple and all the ingredients can be bought from the nearest grocery store.

During the semester break, I tried baking for the first time!
Not exactly baking, it was a no-bake Oreo cheese cake as my microwave oven is not functioning properly (or I do not know how to work with it?). Haha.

Who doesn't love cupcakes? They are cute and sweet!
Cheesecake on cupcake? The best!

Black Forest Cheesecake Cupcakes | Cooking Classy
INGREDIENTS
    Crust
  • 12 Oreos
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp salted butter, melted
  • Cheesecake
  • 4.5 oz (3/4 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 12 oz. cream cheese, softened well (1 1/2 8 oz. pkgs)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Topping
  • Store-bought (canned) or homemade cherry pie filling*
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • Finely chopped or shaved chocolate, for garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS
  • For the crust:
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a mixing bowl, using a fork, blend together crushed Oreos and butter. Divide mixture evenly among 12 paper lined muffin cups, adding a heaping 1 Tbsp to each. Press crumbs into an even layer. Bake in preheated oven 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool while preparing filling.
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup granulated sugar, cocoa and salt until no clumps of cocoa remain. Add cream cheese to a mixing bowl and pour sugar mixture over cream cheese, then using an electric hand mixer set on low speed, whip mixture just until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, blending just until combined after each addition and adding in vanilla with second egg. Pour in melted chocolate and mix just until combined, then add 1/4 cup heavy cream and sour cream and mix just until combined. Forcefully tap bowl against countertop, about 30 times, to release some of the air bubbles. Divide mixture among muffin cups (over crust layer), adding about a slightly heaping 1/4 cup to each. Bake in 325 degree oven 17 - 20 minutes until centers only jiggle slightly. Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature 1 hour, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours.
  • For the topping:
  • In a mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whip 1 1/4 cups heavy cream until soft peaks form then add 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread the heavy cream into an even layer over cupcakes then pipe a rim around edge over that layer (or if spreading whipped topping, just create a small well into the center). Spoon a heaping tablespoon (about 2 tbsp) Cherry pie filling into the center of each. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container (I preferred to let them rest about 10 minutes at room temp before serving. Also, preferably add topping within 2 hours of serving.).
  • *I considered making it homemade but finding and pitting the right type of cherries didn't seem worth the hassle so I just used canned. I used about 3/4 of a 21 oz can.

waffle is a cooked food made from a batter that consists of flourwaterbaking powderoil, and eggs. It has a gridlike appearance because it is cooked in between two hot metal plates in an electric kitchen appliance called a waffle iron. Waffles are cooked until they become golden-brown in color, with a crispy outer texture and a soft interior. Waffles are served as a breakfast or as a dessert, and they are usually served with sweet sauces or toppings.

Belgian waffles, or Brussels waffles, are made with a yeast-leavened batter. It is generally, but not always, lighter, thicker, and crispier and has larger pockets compared to other waffle varieties.
