Kuih kaswi

Assalamualaikum wbt.
and All praises to Allah SWT & His Messenger.

It is the second week of Ramadhan, 'All is well' I expect. If you have watched 3 Idiots, you'll understand the 'All is well' and maybe start to recall all the funny parts in the movie.hehehe...if not, try watching it. It is a nice hindi movie. Main characters; Aamir Khan and my favourite, Kareena Kapoor :)

Yes, in this post I am going to share on the steps and ingredients on making kuih kaswi or some call it kuih koswi or kueh kaswi, the latter is the old malay way of spelling kuih though. Kuih kaswi is the kuih that is usually black in colour and have kelapa all over it. It is similar to kuih lompang. I don't know what is the difference between kaswi and lompang as I see them as two similar kuih in two different shapes. Without wasting any time babbling, let's just start with the steps shall we. 

The steps and ingredients will be in mix of Melayu and Inggeris. If you just happen to not understand it, you can ask me, or get a translater :p

Ingredients:
3 tablespoon gula pasir
2 cup tepung gandum
1 cup tepung ubi

2 cup gula merah (gula tebu thai)
5 1/2 cup air
sedikit kapur & garam


Steps:  

1. Mix the first three ingredients into a bowl.

2. Mix the gula merah and air in a separate bowl. And stir them well.

3. Then, put 1 and 2 together into a bowl. Add some air kapur and garam. Stir the liquid until all the solvent turns into a solution.







4. Prepare a container or cups or bowls for your acuan. Spread oil around your container or cups or bowls(any oil will do), this is just to make sure the kuih will not get ruin when you try to take it out later.






5. Pour the acuan into its container.





6. Heat a pan with some water on the stove to steam the acuan. When the water boils, put the container, cups or bowls of the acuan onto it. Wait for 15-30 minutes. Then take the acuan out.

7. Cool the acuan under room temperature only then, take it out from the container to have a beautiful shape kaswi.






















8. Lastly, spread kelapa all over the cooled kaswi. For the kelapa, make sure you add some salt before you spread it on your kaswi to have the best taste :)









Some steps do not have images with them, that, you can use your own imagination...or google or youtube to understand more. Hope the few pictures are helpful. Happy trying!

English for Professional Communication

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Greetings readers! As stated above, in this entry I would like to share about the course that I am taking at present. It is a course from the Academy of Language Studies at Universiti Teknologi Mara(UiTM). It is very rare to find people that know about this course. Dialogue 1 A: Eh, what are you studying now? Me: English for Prof Comm A: ...........??? So, what is that actually? Dialogue 2 A: Anyway, what are you taking now? Me: Language studies A: Oh.. TESL eh. Me: ....................... or very very very rare, Dialogue 3 A: What course did you take? Me: English for Prof Comm A: Ohh..ok. As you see, this course is not as popular as others like law, engineering, medicine, dental, education and others, which everyone knows of. But, it is a fun and interesting course to learn. Believe me. And if you are really good in English, which I am still working on t...

Sleepless night to remember

Assalamulaikum wbt All praises to Allah SWT and His Messenger Hello. Upon writing this post, I am at a state where I can no longer open my eyes to continue doing my work. My friends and I are at Level 9 Menara at this late hour, yup (for those who know the history.........hahahaa.....). It's kind of our lepak place for wifi, for just us. Alhamdulillah. Our journey are coming to its end. So far, we are done with two of our professional presentations. It was a nerve-wrecking and sleepless experience on preparing the text and searching for information and practice and what not for the presentation. Nevertheless, I enjoy every last moment of it. Even now, it is just so difficult to finish up my thesis and do the amendments needed, I choose not to fret and just keep on continuing these difficult times as I believe I will be reminiscing these times later in the future. InsyaAllah, everything will end this Monday. My prayers to all of us, myself and my friends, that we...

Lailatul Qadar

Assalamualaikum wbt. All praises to Allah SWT & His Messenger. Lailatul Qadar is the night that is better than a thousand months. For those who sincerely devote oneself on that night will be granted with His countless blessings. Refer Surah Al-Qadr. What makes the event more special is that the time of it's occurrence is unknown. There are no exact dates in Ramadhan on when Lailatul Qadar is. The only thing that is known is that it may occur on any odd dates among the last 10 days of Ramadhan So, it is a chase for all Muslims. Which is good as it motivates us and myself to pray harder and do more ibadah especially during the last 10 days of Ramadhan to have the pahala of 1000 months. Which is when you convert, equals to pahala of 83 years! Allahuakbar. Subhanallah. There are many other ways or action that we can do during the last 10 days of Ramadhan. One of the most crucial, and this is in my own opinion, is to recite the Doa below all the time. We the imperf...
