Egg Tart again

Got an invitation for tea @ 3.30pm this afternoon and hubby suggested to have me to work on my egg puff - firstly to improve my skill and to have his friend to try out my egg puff ( call it egg puff since I use puff pastry for the base).

For the first try the one problem I faced is the temperature and timing for the egg puff to be soft inside and crispy. So had put two egg puff to try and the texture was quite different. But now I know how to control the temperature but still learning on how to made it nice and fluffy as the egg filling drop once I take it out from the oven for cooling. I guess maybe I had put it in the oven for too long.. But good try I should say..

Egg Tart

Egg tart is one of my husband favourite food. Whenever he go Kota Kinabalu he will sure try to buy some nice egg tart from there. He claimed that the egg tart from one of the stall in Centrepoint is the best egg tart he ever had with a crispy crust and the watery of the egg custard.


Had been telling my husband that I'll try and made it but had never attempted on this little project ha ha.. It all started with my sister-in-law who had been trying to made egg tart in preparation for puasa. She was thinking of selling this egg tart during the puasa period as usually there are a lots of stall to sell food during this period. The egg tart they did tasted quite nice and so I asked for the recipe.


SO I used the reciped shared by my sister-in-law but changed the crust to puff pastry as that's what my husband required. To cut short the process, I just used the store bought puff pastry. The first batch turn out quite good but the 2nd batch I made some of the egg custard flooded the pastry and therefore the egg tart didn't turn out fluffy like the rest. Also I think either I overbaked or the temperature of the oven was too high so the custard strink in size once it cool down.


It was a good try though, never knew that making a egg tart was so hard ha ha.. Hubby enjoyed his breakfast on thursday morning ha ha.. Asked me to try and made it again..

Curry puff

Suddenly have this idea in my mind to prepare curry puff for wednesday morning breakfast. Yes eventhough have to be at work at 8.30 sharp but with a little preparation a day ahead it was much easier.

Since I have recently bought some ready made puff pastry - introduced by my sister-in-law, thought I will just need to prepare the ingredient a day ahead. I'm not a good cook and dun really know how to made the curry puff ingredient so just asked my mother-in-law's maid to help cook the ingredient. I actually got a lot of these filling recipe but sometime the serving is so big and I get a lots of left over which I usually forget and left to waste. So this time I just ask her to use 2 potato and 1 chicken breast for the filling. Instead of my trying to made the ingredient, I was thinking since she know how to cook better made her an expert first then ask her to teach me.. smart and easy ya...

Anyway I also woke up early on wednesday as Ee was up early and wanna to play. It was my first time to use this type of store bought puff pastry so was trying to figure out which are the easiest way to made it - coz the one I bought is a small square size puff pastry which come in 10 pieces per pack. So I had to roll it out into a rectangle shape then put in the ingredient.. it looked a big like a apple puff pastry..

Well overall, it taste nice but if the puff pastry was more fluffy it would be better. I guess maybe i had rolled it flat therefore it's not so fluffy at all ha ha.. mayb i should try to do a triangle shape one next time.. Hubby was happy and ate quite a few pieces.

Curry Potato Prata

Hubby was complaining that I had been trying out on a lot of cakes, ice cream even scone recipes but not on any of his favourite food. One of which is curry puff. So since I was free in the afternoon so i quickly went and took out all the ingredients required for this Curry Potato Puff.

I take the easy route where I got my maid to cook the ingredient since I dun really know how to cook curry ha ha.. So after she had cooked the ingredient which I watch and learn so that I can cook up the ingredient myself next time, I just did put the ingredient in the dough and bake it. Baking just took around 30 mins of the time.

Hubby say it was a good try and should be named potato prata instead of curry potato prata coz it was not spicy enough for him. I did put chicken into the recipe but coz the potato was more so I named it curry potato prata. I thought the shape was not so fanstantic but hubby say it was nice wrapped up and he save money rathered than going out for tea.
