Heat another 250gm Gula Melaka and pandan leaves in 600ml water. Add 1 pkt jelly powder, stirring frequently. Pour in coconut cream and stir till boil. Take out pandan leaves and remove jelly mixture from flame.
By this time, the first batch of jelly should be setting. Scratch the surface or make very light pricks with a fork before pouring the coconut cream jelly over it. This will help the 2 layers adhere to each other. Make sure the jelly has set properly and is hard before cutting it.

3 Ingredients Soufflé Cheese Cake by Helga Soo
Facebook link - https://www.facebook.com/groups/platepalate/permalink/931019173619050/
3 Ingredients Soufflé Cheese Cake by Helga Soo
Ingredients:
3 eggs
120g (4.3oz.) white chocolate
120g (4.3oz.) cream cheese *softened
3 eggs
120g (4.3oz.) white chocolate
120g (4.3oz.) cream cheese *softened
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 170C (338F). Separate the eggs and place the whites in a large bowl. Let your egg whites sit in the refrigerator to keep them cold until you are ready to use them (which makes the meringue more stable).
2. Place the chocolate (broken into pieces) in a large bowl. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water (60C/140F). Then add the cream cheese and melt them together. Remove the bowl from the double boiler, add the egg yolks, and mix well.
3. In a large bowl, whip egg whites with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. *If it's thick enough, you can turn the bowl upside down without it sliding out.
4. Add 1/3 Meringue into the cream cheese batter and blend well with a spatula. Then add the rest of the Meringue 1/2 at a time and mix well.
5. Rub some oil/butter on parchment paper (in this way, the cake can slide down when it shrinks, so you can prevent the cake from cracking). Line the round cake pan with the parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and drop the pan lightly on the counter to raise the air bubbles out of the batter.
6. Place the cake pan on a baking sheet. Pour some hot water into the baking sheet. Bake at 170C (338F) for 15 minutes, 160C (320F) for 15 minutes, then stop the heat and bake with the remaining heat for 15 minutes.
7. When it is done, place the cake pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
You can either serve immediately or chill in the fridge before serving! It will slightly get hard in the fridge, so leave at room temperature for a few minutes before you serve.
You can brush the cake with some apricot jam syrup and/or dust with powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar) to finish. You can serve it with whipped cream if desired.

Churros with chocolate dip by Siti Wilden
Facebook recipe link
https://www.facebook.com/groups/platepalate/permalink/927265177327783/
Churros with choc sauce
For the churros:
Cinnamon sugar mixture: mix and set aside
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Churros :
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tbsp sugar
90g butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
For the chocolate sauce:
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Equipment: a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic pastry bag; a large star pastry tip (such as Wilton #2110)
Directions:
Make the churros:
Choux pastry mix:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water, sugar, salt n butter. Bring the mixture to a boil then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour, mixing until it forms a ball.
Cool it for a minute.
Now this is a hard part if you do manually.
Break an egg into the mixture n stir hard n fast until the egg is well combined into the choux pastry.
Alternatively you can transfer all the choux pastry to an electric mixer with a pedal attachment and beat the egg in there. This is extremely useful if you multiply the original recipe to get more Churros
Once pastry has cooled a bit, then u can pipe it.
Heat 3 to 4 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat until it reaches 375ºF. (There should be a minimum of 3 inches above the oil to prevent it from bubbling over.)
Transfer the dough to a cloth pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe the dough over the pot of oil to a length of about 4 inches, or any desired length, then using scissors or a sharp knife, cut it so it releases into the oil. (Stand back to avoid any splatters.) Pipe two to three churros into the oil at a time, frying them until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the churros to the paper towel-lined plate to drain for 2 minutes, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat the frying and coating process with the remaining dough.
Serve the churros with the warm chocolate sauce
Make the chocolate sauce:
Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl.
Warm the heavy cream in small saucepan. (Do not let it boil.) Pour the heavy cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute then stir to combine. Leave it to cool
Minced pork with Asian spices and quail eggs by Cheryl Lam
Facebook recipe link
https://www.facebook.com/groups/platepalate/permalink/929899163731051/
Ingredients -
400-500g minced pork, marinated
1 pack of quails egg (around 15 eggs), hard-boiled and peeled
1 cinnamon stick
3-5 star anise
Chopped garlic and shallots (or onions)
Ground black pepper to taste
150ml water, mixed with 1 tbsp corn starch
Marinade
3 tbsp dark soya sauce
1 1/2 tbsp light soya sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp of sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground white pepper
Method
1. Marinate the pork with the marinade sauces for at least an hour. If you have no time, you may put a pot of the water to boil (to make the hard-boiled quail eggs) and while waiting for it to boil, mix the marinade into the minced pork.
2. Once the eggs are boiled, remove and peel. Set aside.
3. In a wok or skillet, put some oil and stir fry on high heat, the cinnamon stick and star anise. Around 1-2 minutes. Then add the chopped onions/ shallot until transparent. Finally, add the garlic.
4. Add the marinated minced pork and use the spatula to break into pieces.
5. Once the meat is around 3/4 cooked (don't overcook else will become tough), pour in the water and corn starch mixture. Bring to a boil. At this point, you may taste the mixture and adjust the sauces accordingly (e.g. More soya sauce, salt or sugar). Add your preferred quantity of ground black pepper.
6. Add the eggs and simmer on low heat for 5 mins.

Cinnamon buns by Cheryl Lam

Here's the recipe (using breadmaker but you may use hand or mixer to need):
Dough Ingredients
1 cup (240 ml) of milk
3.5 cups (437.5 grams) of bread flour
50ml coconut oil (or any oil or melted butter)
1/4 cup (50 grams) of granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2.5 tsp of instant dry yeast (I used 1 pkt of SAF)
1 egg
1/2 cup or 1 cup of mashed potatoes (I used 1 medium russet potato, boiled and mashed. This comes to 1 cup. Due to time constraint, I used the microwave to zap the potato on high for 3 min and then mashed it)
Fillings
1/4 cup (50 grams) of castor sugar
1/4 cup (50 grams) of brown sugar
1.5 tablespoon of cinnamon powder
50 grams of butter, softened
Others (optional)
2 tbsp of cream or milk for egg washing
Instructions
1. Put all the dough ingredients into your BM as per your BM method. For my Kenwood, I mix the liquids in a big bowl first (milk, oil, egg, as well as mashed potatoes), then pour into the BM.
2. Pour your flour.
3. Put salt in a corner and sugar in another corner.
4. Make a well with your finger in the center of the flour and pour in yeast.
5. Select Dough function (#10).
6. One and half hour later, take out the dough, punch it down, and using a rolling Pin, roll into a large flat rectangle.
7. Spread melted butter onto the flattened dough.
8. Spread the melted butter on the dough.
9. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on.
10. Roll up the dough. Cut into rolls (approx 3-fingers width).
11. Place the rolls in a greased tray, cover with damp cloth and let it proof in a warm place for at least 30mins. (I proofed mine in my preheated 50C) oven with door open.
12. Turn the oven to 170C. Remove the tray and brush on the glaze (optional). Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes. If the top is getting brown, put aluminum foil to prevent burnt top.
Note :
So far, any bread I made with mashed potatoes always produce fluffy bread, without needing overnight proofing. But if you put too much mashed potatoes, the bread may turn out too spongy. Hence for me, with 3.5 cups flour, I ensure my mashed potatoes quantity do not exceed one full cup.
