Rich Chocolate Ice Cream ????????

This is my first attempt at making ice cream.Went thru a few sites to get an idea. Most recipes I found online needed an ice cream maker to make ice cream, but not many Malaysians have it in their homes. I'm one of those that don't have one. So, I tried to do it with just a whisk and a hand held mixer. My brothers commented," This tastes like melted chocolate... too rich...."My hub said," Very nice, but not more than 2 scoops at one go, very 'geng'...

Japanese Strawberry Shortcake ??????

This is the 2nd thing made from Kenny's strawberries.Found this recipe in yochana's site. Needed to use up my fresh strawberries.

Spicy Lala ????

This dish was created when I needed to rinse my chili sauce bottle.An instant hit with my hubby, adding more fans to the list later on. kekekeke..Lalas taste best when cooked fresh, and for that I mean, when they are still alive. When u get them home, soak them in water (around 2L for 500gm lala) with 2 tsp of salt. This way, they'll come alive and peek out of their shells....When they peek out, they'll also spew out the silt in them.The thing about...
