:: Cik Mek Molek ::



i attended a course in kelang, and they served me with superbly delicious 'cik mek molek', a traditional malay cake (kuih) from east coast of malaysia. i'm pretty shy to indulge on the food (am being a little bit 'ayu' here), i put up an attempt to make one at home.

the recipe is pretty much based on 'best estimate' concept that adopts the methodology of 'agak²' and 'campak²'. :D

ingredients:-
sweet potato (yellow orangish potato)
water
salt
wheat flour

filling:-
sugar

method:-
1. boil the potato with salt till soft.
2. mash the potato, and add in wheat flour, a tablespoon at a time to avoid overadding flour. (too much flour will make the kuih a tad hard, and u'll lose the taste of potato)
3. repeat step 2 till the mixture leave the side of the pan clean but still sticky on your hand.
4. pat your palm with some flour. roll the mixture to a ball, sized 1-1.5".
5. press the balls flat and dent the middle with your finger.
6. sprinkle some sugar as filling in the dent, and roll the mixture back to a ball and press it till desired thickness.
7. fry it till golden brown and serve warm.

tips - best eaten with hot weak tea (teh o) or black coffee (kopi o). sangat tradisional!

Pasal tom yam kukus tu, mmg tak letak air, masa u kukus nanti, jus ayam tu akan keluar, tapi kuah dia tak delah jadi byk...Tapi kan kalau rasa nak letak sedikit air pun ok..u adjust lah rasa dia nanti..
