Cake Meltdown

HAVE YOU ever bought a Slice of Cake from a famous shop, rush back home, eat it and dislike it?
Have you ever wonder why?
Or
Do you just assume it's not delicious?

Don't Worry, Cake man to the rescue!

Here's 3 reasons :
1) Different Preference
- One man's meat is another man's poison
- If we all have the same preference, we would all be sharing Partners right now ;)

2) Screwed up
- Cake wasn't done properly *Nobody is perfect
- We, Chef do make mistake too

3) Cake must be eaten Real Cold (0-3C)
- Try eating a Mousse/Cheese cake at temp above 10c * You would shoot yourself in the head
- Most cake are served at about 5c, within few minutes it will reach 10c or more *This is why the first bite is always the best
- Temperature will affect Mouth feel, Flavor, Sensation in the mouth


Here's a few trick to keep your cake at Best for various Occasion

1) STOP , If you just bought a cake, returning to home to eat it straight

- Traveling from the cake shop to your home would take a while, cake won't be cold
- Store in fridge for at least an hour to allowed it to become real cold again *Patience is virtue


2) FREEZE, If you are bringing a cake to your friend house to eat it straight
- Keep the cake in the Freezer an hour before leaving home
- Trust me, it's worth the effort

3) DRY ice to the rescue
 - If you are a real foodie, go buy dry ice *Like BasketRobbin



My Friends always ask me why is my cakes always Semi-Frozen

My Answer would be "By the time you are half way through the cake, it will still be perfectly cold" *Wouldn't you like your beer SUPER COLD?

Egg-Ta-La-Vista Baby

Have you ever wonder did Egg or Chicken come first?

Neither come first, Egg-nator came first by time travelling and mated with a chicken.

Once the chicken gave birth to Humpty Dumpty.
Egg-nator said "Egg-Ta-La-Vista Baby, I will be back."
The Chicken waited for years, raising the Humpty Dumpty as a single mom.
Until one day, Humpty Dumpty got pushed from the back by Colonel Sander and had a Great Fall!

 

Colonel Sander started his world domination by turning the Chicken into KFC.

Now the fate of all Chicken lies on the shoulder of Egg-nator.
Will he be back? *To Be Continued

So before Egg-nator return to save all eggs,
Here's 3 tips to keep your Egg at Tip Top Condition *So Egg-nator will forgive you

1) Keep it Refrigerated

- Egg degrade 6 times faster at room temperature *Eggs sold in Australia are kept refrigerated
- Your Grade A egg will degrade to B or C in just a few days at room temperature

2) Keep it Original Package *Not like the Left Picture

- If Uncertain, store the Large End of the Egg Upwards


3) Buy from Market Instead of Supermarket

- Most Egg Sellers are Egg Farmers *First hand Supply
- Eggs in Supermarket goes through many hand *Not Fresh Anymore


Kampung Vs Supermarket (Left : Right)

I would choose Kampung Egg for 2 Reasons:
1) Better Quality

2) It's more Humane
- Kampung Chicken doesn't get stuck in a cage unlike normal Chicken *Google for more info
