Dim Sum Anyone?

This is from the same book as my Mandarin Orange Crochetted Foodies called Gourmet Crochet. Will upload the patterns steps when I am free and less hectic with other committments. I love dim sum especially siew mai. Hubster was saying to me a few days ago that I should crochet something useful instead of these which has no purpose at all.

Mandarin Orange Chrochet

Last week I had crochetted a mandarin orange from my left over bright orange yarn. It was adopted from a book called Gourmet Crochet but actually from a tomato but I had change the yarn from red to bright orange since I love eating mandarin oranges.

Will upload the steps on how to crochet your own mandarin orange later. So stay tune :)

Note:

1. Oven temperature is around 180C.
2. Using the top oven only.
3. Each layer takes around 4-5 minutes or until the layer is golden brown. If there is air bubbles forming on your layer cake, prick the air bubble using fork. Press lightly the cook layer after that before pouring in the next colour layer.
4. Once all the mixture finish. Cover it with aluminium foil. Change the oven settings to top and bottom. Bake until 10-15 minutes.
5. Cut when the cake cools down so that the layering would not break.  

 This recipe I had adapted from a recipe book calked Warisan Umi where I omitted one ingredient which is Tasty Biscuits as I felt that I dont want the taste of crunchy biscuit in my cake.

Back to Office after my Customised Programme on Rapid Assessment & SIMEX Design for NDMC

This is what I attended (an unscheduled training) during a week long absentia from 1st May til 05th May at IBM, UBD. This course is designed for the early responders at the relevant goverment agencies. It is mainly classroom oriented course with practicals on how to use Mission Kits when going for deployment. And it ended with an exercise simulated by NDMC - I feel like I am an in that show called 'the amazing race' kinda feeling. The mission is to collect important data which called "Disaster Assessment Survey" for the Assessment Team - my team was called BruneiErat2 (Alpha2).
