These are what I have been doing for the past few weeks. The skin turned out to be crispy yet soft, just like the curry puffs I used to buy from the mak cik in my school canteen. I made this because there were leftover of potatoes which was meant to be used for making samosa during our college festival. Without margarine or butter at that time, I searched for alternatives and I found out that the dough can be made using wheat flour and oil, as a replacement of margarine or butter.
If you notice, all three food above are made because I wanted to finish the remaining ingredients in my fridge and not because I purposely spend my time on the kitchen to prepare them. But there is an exception. All this while, I only help my mum to beat the batter when we are making cakes at home, but I never do it myself even once. I thought of trying to bake a cake recently and here is the result.
What I learned from my first baking attempt:
**************** *** ****************
I call it instant pizza because the crust is made of bread and I was too lazy to search for the recipe for making a proper dough. There were some leftover of cheese, so I thought of putting slices of cheese, onions and chicken fillet and toast it for a couple of minutes. When it's done, sprinkle some pepper and mayonnaise plus some chilly sauce and you are done with your instant pizza in less than five minutes. **************** *** ****************
This was made using the leftover of sweet potato that we planted last May. It might look disgusting and like a baby's food, but it was not bad. After all, I will never have any problems taking anything which is made of potatoes.If you notice, all three food above are made because I wanted to finish the remaining ingredients in my fridge and not because I purposely spend my time on the kitchen to prepare them.

- Always remember to separate the ingredients after measuring the required amount needed for each of them in different bowls. I only realised that after I pour the sugar into the flour after measuring it. So, I quickly scoop out as much sugar out as possible from the bowl of flour while cursing myself at my stupidity.
- Never beat the sugar with only the butter, because the whole kitchen will turn into a room which look as if it was just hit by a tornado. The wall and floor will have butter sticking on them. Lucky thing I wasn't that dumb this time when I saw some of them started to spill out everywhere. My solution - beat them while pouring the beaten eggs and milk into the bowl.
- Bake the cake for thirty minutes, not thirty seconds. I didn't see properly the timer on the oven when I turned it on. I thought it was set to thirty minutes already when I saw the three and zero digit on the screen. Just when I stepped my foot out of the kitchen, the oven made it's "ting ting ting ting" sound. I thought Japan's oven is damn high-tech because my cake was done that fast, only for me to find out that I set the timer wrongly. Damn sweat you know.
Anyway, it was a happy-ever-after ending. I'm glad my first cake was neither too hard nor wet.
