Kuih Sarang Semut : Thank God it turned out good.


Very rarely, mistakes make better outcome.

But hey, this sarang semut made it to the rare list. Omputih panggil honeycomb caramel cake.

The mistakes : accidently put extra butter and extra condensed milk in the batter.

The outcome: extra moist and extra ‘sarang’ texture, and fairly sweet. Thank God.

 

The simple formula

A= 1 cup sugar + 1 cup hot water + 100g butter

Heat a cup of sugar until caramelised. Then add a cup of hot water. Be careful. It caused “firecrackers” in the pan. Keep stirring until it dissolves to be a caramel syrup. Put aside for a while.

B= 4 eggs + half tin of condensed milk + a cup of wheat flour + 2 teaspoons of baking soda + 1 spoon of vanilla essence.

Break the eggs in a bowl. Stir. Add condensed milk. Stir. Add flour. Stir. Add baking soda and vanilla essence. Stir. 

Then pour A into B. Stir the mixture.

Leave the batter for an hour.

I did this on a traditional stove with fire. Steam it for a 45 minutes up to an hour, medium heat. Check with a fork or steel chop stick to see if it is cooked.

Note: the original correct way is 75g butter and half cup of condensed milk.

 

Cubalah!

Malaysia Merdeka: From a Health Perspective

Since we are nearing Hari Merdeka and celebrating the month of Independence Day, there is much to appreciate—from the peace and prosperity of our sovereign country to its evolving economic, social, and cultural diversity.

During the pre-independence period, while urban areas had better access to healthcare facilities, these were still limited. Rural areas were more heavily impacted and had to rely on traditional medicines. The disparities in healthcare access between urban and rural areas were prevalent, with urban areas typically benefiting from better facilities and resources. This has resulted in unequal health outcomes and access to essential services. In the early years following independence, efforts were focused on addressing the healthcare needs of the population and expanding the healthcare infrastructure, which included the development of new hospitals and clinics in both urban and rur
