Dates Bread (Cuddly mini spheres)

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

As always, the dough preparation is crucial!  Make sure you mix the dates chunks evenly into the dough.

Then, you shape them!  Aren't these sphere doughs cute?! 

And they're done!!!  Freshly baked ones are sooooooooo good.  If you've had these pastries freshly baked, the same-day (cooled down) ones they have in bakeries will never taste the same to ya.

Red Bean Danish with Sesame

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

A similar pastry was previously featured as part of the Danish galore post.  In this one, the cream filling has been replaced with red bean, making it one of the Chef's unique creations.  (also gives it an asian spin~)

Freshly Baked Bread - Dates, Chocolates, Rasin and Red Bean!

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

It's really hard to resist your temptations to eat all of them when they smell sooooo good freshly out of the oven.

I took a lot of pictures of these freshly baked loaves of bread, making sure every element of their beauty are accurately captured.  :)

Chocolate and Dates

The chocolates and the red bean are wrapped inside the center of the dough, the round ones have the rasin and the dates evenly baked into the dough. 

 

Breaded Fried Fish Chunks

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

To make this dish, you start with fresh raw fish.

Make sure you cut the fish into equal chunks and bread it evenly.

Prepare the frying pan and heat up the oil.

The fish heats up quickly, don't overfry them.  ENJOY!

Yummy Danish - Peach, Star Cherry, Pear, Strawberry and Cream

Monday, January 8th, 2007

YUM !!

The following are pictures of the work in progress.

 

1. Everything starts from getting a couple cans of delicious sweet peach and pear

 2. Prepare the dough. This is the hardest step.  After mixing in the right ingredients, you have to condition the dough by putting it in the freezer, re-mix and let it settle.  If any of these tricky steps are done inaccurately, the finished product won't be right.   *take good care preparing, you've been warned*

 

 3. When dough is ready, slice them into long pieces, then into small square pieces.

4. The following picture should clearly illustrate the next step.  Fold the fruit pieces into the dough piece, careful not too put in too much.  This picture shows the peach, strawberry and pear danish designs.

5. The following shows the star cherry fruit design.

6. The beautiful designs all displayed below.

7. AND IT'S DONE!  (it's time to start drooling…hehe)

The sphere shaped ones have pastry cream inside and white sesame on top. =)
