My Favourite Family Routine

NUFFNANG! IF YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY PREVIOUS POST BY GIVING ME AN ACER LAPPIE,

NVM NVM!

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT OKAY?

JUST GIVE ME A SET OF 7 TICKETS FOR SINGAPORE FLYERS CAN LIAO! GOOD ENOUGH LIAO.


Anyway, you know, it's only me and my mum outside here and it's kinda, ya know, nothing much to do cz almost all the time, she'll be working and working and working just like a workaholic, partly because my expenses is very very large (sorry la, cost of living nowadays jin jia high, 7% GST, shortage of rice, APAMACAM!?!?!?). So, anytime I spend time with me momma is a favourite family routine la, DUHH.

And luckily, today's Mother's Day and she decided to take a day off! Whao!! A workaholic taking a day off. That's a miracle! Cz today she no work hor, yesterday night she can sleep late. SO HOR, after i reach home at around 10 plus hor, then I go kitchen, and OMG, all the ingredients to make cheesecake has already been layed out nicely!

Wuah! I only make cheesecake once in front of her and she one time know how to make liao meh??

Hehe, today is your lucky day viewers of ThomasDiong.BlogSpot.Com for I, Thomas Diong, shall enlighten you on how to make NON-BAKED CHEESECAKE, which means, you can enjoy cheesecake, without the hastle of baking it in an oven! Genius right?

Let's do a bit of tracing back ar. I first wanted to know how to make cheesecake back in 2005 or 2006 i cannot remember but i do not have an oven! And i heard Daryl's momma a real cakelatier (dunno if there's such a word or not).

Daryl is the budak keik sai. Not the left one. Dunno why he keik sai until so happy, kept smiling. The left one is Mr CoalMan, Malaysian Superhero. Camouflage at night lei! That power you tell me which Marvel Comic Superhero got? NON!

Then hor, Daryl so kindly tell me what what what, i forgot the sequence already, and then he said something like this "I forgot how to *tu tu tu tee tee* (forgot what he said, LOL) already. I go back ask my mum okay?"

And on msn, he told me, roughly paraphrased lar, cannot remember exact word "my mother say cannot teach other people. Family secret"

=.=||

Luckily Daryl leaked one of his "family secret" and tell me to add yoghurt. LOL!

Now, WWJD? so, I fired up Firefox and search for the recipe! and bla bla bla. Come back to me and my mum, gosh digress so far.

Anyway, my mum wasn't very good at making cheesecake lar, so me, the expert the pro, became the CHIEF CHEF! MUAHAHAHAHA!

All you need to make 1 cheesecake:
1. Cream Cheese (preferably Philadelphia cream cheese, I don't know why. Don't ask)

2. Cream



3. Fine Sugar (Don't tell me you have no idea what sugar is, okay??)

4. Non-salted Butter


5. Gelatine




6. Digestive Biscuit (Original)



7. Blueberry Filling (if it's blueberry cheesecake that you wanna make)



and last but not least, yoghurt.

So, has already put both the cream cheese and cream together. Now being such a good son, I go help her lar. Can't you see i'm an angel? You see, you need to mash the quite hard cream cheese up nicely or it'll be a mess when you try to beat it up later on.

So I mash it up.


Disgusting, I know. And a bit greasy too. But hey, it's cheese and cream.

While I was mashing it up, my mum was making the base of the cheesecake by crushing Digestive biscuit. Note, you need to crush them nicely, into like powdery form, and the amount of digestive biscuit you need depends on how thick you want the base to be.

So after my mum crushed the amount she thinks she need, she scooped in a

WHOOPING 3/4 OF BUTTER!

Dunno to say she's greedy or generous, but that's a lot of butter!!! I jumped across, *just imagine the scene in the Matrix) and say "No" in slowmo.

Too late, the butter is in the biscuit. And she claims quote unquote "I'm very good at agak-agak one"

So, the base is gonna be a little greasy. =.=" I know it looks disgusting, but hey, have you seen people making pau? Okay, I won't digress.

So, after my mum finish "playing" with her digestive biscuit, now it's time to lay it down as the base of the cheesecake.

My mum make the base of the springform pan, and i make the base of the (claimed by my mum) "the tiramisu casing" in which she can bring it to work.

The springform pan.


And the "tiramisu casing"

Now that the base is ready, it's time for the fun part. Muahaha. Last time when i was back in my hometown, making cheesecake means doing everything except for crushing the digestive biscuit myself. Now that i'm with my mum, everything she do, I just watch and direct her how to do. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Ready, set, and GO!

Start liao, start liao, what you waiting?

If you're wanting to make 1 cheesecake, you need just 1 philadelphia cream cheese, 1 of those baby small cream, 2 spoonful of sugar (those metal spoon, not those soup one ar!!!) 1 yoghurt and 25 grams of gelatine.

But me and my momma take things to the extreme. We sekaligus do 2! MUAHAHA

Okay, after my momma "screw" the cream and the cheese for some time, it's time to add in sugar. We add in 5 spoons cz my mother wants the cake to be sweeter. ZZZ.

Then my mum continued to "screw" the mixture.

To the mixture, add blueberry yoghurt (if you want it to taste like blueberry)


and screw it again. Stop and record the observations.



My mother "screwing" the mixture furiously. Huhu.

Now the hardest part has dawn on us. We have to addd gelatine into the solution mixture. OH NO! HOW DO WE DO IT? Thank gawd my mum is a genius and she has a pot of extremely hot water ready to dissolve the gelatine before adding into it.

Add sufficient hot water ar! Don't say i didn't tell you ar! Add liao hor, stir until all the gelatine dissolve hor, then quickly add into the mixture, then quickly "screw" it! Don't wait liao! the gelatine will harden quite quickly one. "screw screw screw!"

After that, your journey has abruptly come to an end.

Now it's just pouring of those mixture into the springform pan and the "tiramisu casing".

I tell you, it feels so so good to make cheesecake with my momma man. Everything she do, even pouring of those things onto springform pan and "tiramisu casing" also she do. HUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA! The pro me.

And so, after leaving those things in the fridge for one night,

Smear blueberry filling all over it and tadaaaaa! You have a non-baked blueberry cheesecake. And erm, the picture you can't see very clearly cz ya know, camouflaged, just like the Mr CoalMan.

And today,



Mother's should be banned from working on Mother's Day man. Seriously, how many times can I do this a year? Jee~ I think i'm deprived.

P.S: No picture of my mum! Why? I don't want my mother to be kidnapped. HUAHUAHUA.

Happy Mother's Day
