Puddings are typically served as a dessert or it can also be a savoury (salty or spicy) dish served as part of the main meal. In the United Kingdom, puddings are synonymous with desserts. They can be boiled puddings, steamed puddings, baked puddings, bread puddings, batter puddings, milk puddings or even jellies. In certain Commonwealth countries, these desserts are referred to as custards (or curds) when thickened with eggs, blancmange when thickened with starch, and jelly when made with gelatin. The term "pudding" can also encompass other dishes like bread pudding and rice pudding, which typically have British origins.

(6) Grilled cheese on avocado About Belinda @chef.popo This recipe is generously shared by Belinda, otherwise known as Chef.Popo. Belinda started cooking when she was about 9! Talk about starting young! And her creativity was already raring to go from the very start. Her very first dish, 'Hairy Melon' was incredibly salty. She added everything she could find in the kitchen! Fortunately, her older siblings “enjoyed” the dish which encouraged Belinda to continue cooking. As they say, a little appreciation goes a long way, and it was thanks to the motivation and support she got from her siblings that got her to try out another dish and another! Belinda's style of cooking is intuitive or what some would call freestyling. This means she can and loves recreating her favourite restaurant dishes at home. The real treat and kick here is she not only makes the dishes taste similar or really close to what she had, but sometimes her version tastes even better! Belinda does a little dance when her husband loves it and gives it a thumbs up! Chefs love sharing the joy of their cooking with the people they love, and it's this two-way connection that gives her the spark to love what she does. When you create and serve a dish with love, whoever is lucky to be on the receiving end returns the appreciation two-fold! Belinda's love for cooking goes beyond just creating the dishes themselves. She's also really into the photography and styling aspects of cooking and presenting dishes. It's one thing to make dishes taste good, and quite another skill to make them look good. Belinda has dedicated a lot of time to really getting to know her food and learning about the aesthetic techniques of presenting it. When she sees what she has created come to a lovely fruition, she feels very thankful for divine creativity. It's a blessing for her, and that blessing ultimately gets shared and passed on to the people around her. Sharing her creations, her knowledge and experience on her social media brings joy to her and her followers. If you haven't seen Belinda's beautiful creations, get on to her Instagram now, and partake in a piece of the joy.... it may well inspire you to don that apron and whip up some creativity of your own!

No blending, time savings, convenience and super hygienic, oh not to forget naturally flavoursome. We have the following pure Pandan Powder, pure Pandan Liquid Extract and Pandan Latte blend in our online store and across selected retailers in all the capital cities. Top left - Roselle, Butterfly Pea, Pandan and Kasturi limes ie Calamansi farms. Some photos from our farms and partner farms in Sarawak, Borneo on Roselle, Pandanus, Butterfly Pea and Calamansi in the pristine tropical rainforest in Sarawak, Borneo. Roselle Hibiscus is packed with Vitamin C. Our factory and sister company, Doku Bio-technology has been busy harvesting these all pure naturally farmed roselle to turn into products just for you. We also have Pandan, Bamboo, Kasturi (Calamansi limes), Torch ginger, Butterfly Pea flowers that we grow without using pesticides and synthetic fertiliser but rather using biochar, vermicompost. Stay tuned for new recipes and products will be shared with you. Roselle Gin Fizz What you need :- *1 x tbsp of Roselle Powder -@my.blue.tea *1 x tbsp caster sugar (use Nutri Bullet or blender to blend the powder and sugar so it’s finer) *45 ml of gin I’m using @fourpillarsgin *2 x sprigs of thyme *3 x blueberries X2 raspberries for threading *1 cup of soda water *1/2 lime *1 cup of frozen raspberries simmered down with 2 tbsp of caster sugar, strained and set aside . Ice (at your discretion) Butterfly Pea or scientifically known as Clitoria Ternatea - Butterfly Pea has been a natural food colouring since the 15th century by the Peranakans – you may read here The Little Nyonya . The Butterfly Pea flowers are used in an aged-old and Ayurvedic way & TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) to maintain health and overall wellness. For our friends in ACDN, don't be alarmed if you are served with "Blue Rice" - if you are in one of these restaurants/ cafes they serve natural Butterfly Pea rice in dishes such as Nasi Kerabu, another heritage food from Malaysia. There may be others who serve artificially coloured blue rice which we do not encourage. Cake Bake & Sweets Show - Sydney During one of the Cake Bake & Sweets Show in Sydney, a mother insisted on purchasing our natural Blue Butterfly Cupcakes for her son as he has allergies, so we took pity on him and gave him 2 cupcakes, at no charge. Happy boy! Happy us! Butterfly Pea flower – Christmas drink, why? coz it's magical with lemons or Gin and tonic- When you mix the butterfly pea flower tea in hot water, you get a deep blue colour, but when you add different ingredients like lemon or hibiscus, it can change the presentation to other bright colours like fuchsia or a bright red. The change occurs because of the change in PH levels. From left: Jurassic Blue Boba, Cloud Rollcake by Elizabeth Tang and Purple Rain, a cocktail for Christmas or get a ready Purple Rain Tea pack, similar but different and a Blue Yule log Christmas cake - something for a change. Scroll through and you will find a Butterfly Pea Gin Bramble plus another Asian Kueh (steamed cake) Kueh Lapis - 9 layers of beautiful Blue and White individually steamed each layer. Although we have shared with ACDN, 3 beautiful Pandan recipes we look forward to hearing, and seeing from the "ACDN Pandan'd members" to share their Pandan experiences. Below we have some information on how to use Pandan best but in the meantime, some ideas for you to try out are:- (1) Pandan Cheesecake – to introduce Pandan flavour in cheese (2) Japanese Pandan Loaf with Pandan since bread is a staple food in Aussie homes. (3) Pandan Serimuka – Pretty Face – to introduce to our members of ACDN what an Asian steam kueh or cake is all about. How to use Pandan Powder ? (1) You can add our Pandan Powder straight into any liquid you are using in your bakes. (2) You can dilute the Pandan Powder in hot water and let it steep or keep it overnight in the fridge. Sieve if you must as there will be "speckles" on the cake which is fine - extra fibres (3) All natural colours will be a little "pale" after baking VS artificial colour hence you may like to add spinach juice to keep it 100% natural or (4) Add a tinge or 2 of artificial green, if required. (5) Tips - Adding a lot of Pandan Powder to your cake mix may lead it to taste a bit more "matcha" or bitter. A normal Chiffon cake will need 1 tbsp Pandan Powder. Always start small ie 1-2 tspn. Most importantly, play with it, create and have fun with Pandanus, the New Black as forecasted by Nigella Lawson.

- Pandan Kaya #trending
Always a Winner - a stable Pandan Coconut bread spread in every Asian household PANDAN KAYA / Pandan Coconut Jam – recipe contributed by Dunia Goh One of the most popular recipes during lockdown (as this recipe was published first via FB in July 2021) is Pandan Kaya and Pandan Chiffon Cake. And we're lucky that Dunia is happy to share her easy Pandan Kaya/Pandan Coconut Jam recipe. Try it. . This was published on MyBlueTea FB Page in July 2021 and now it's back in trend as everyone is back to cooking and baking at home due to some economic challenges or for some who loves to cook & bake. From Dunia than in 2021 - "So with Covid cancelling my interstate holiday and limiting opportunity for fam-bams (which often include family sauce/jam swaps), I thought I'd try making Pandan Kaya - normally one of my aunt's specialities. I'd like to call this a success." The recipe filled 2 x 200ml jars (approx. 400ml in total) so a good small batch. INGREDIENTS: * 5 large egg yolks * 2-3 packs of MBT/SPI Coconut Milk powder (dilute in 270ml to make coconut cream) * 2 tsp (10g) @my.blue.tea Pandan Leaf powder * 60g caster sugar * 20g dark brown sugar Simple steps to make Pandan Kaya at home with our Pandan Powder + Dehydrated Coconut Milk powder. METHOD : (1) Prepare/sterilise 2 x 200ml jars. I prefer to use boiling water but feel free to use the microwave technique or whichever way you are comfortable with. (2) Separate the egg yolks from the whites. You want to remove as much white as possible to minimise any chance of curdling during the cooking process. Keep the whites aside in the fridge for another recipe. Put egg yolks into a separate bowl and whisk them lightly with a fork. (3) Dilute the Coconut Milk Powder in 270ml water (shake it in a container). Pour the majority of contents into a small nonstick saucepan. Add the Pandan leaf powder and stir thoroughly to dissolve and add into saucepan. (4) Add sugar to saucepan and dissolve over low heat. Stir with a wooden spatula over low heat (2 on my cooktop). Once fully dissolved, take out a tablespoon of the mixture. (5) Start to whisk your egg yolks and drizzle in the 1T of mixture. Repeat until you have added at least 3T of the coconut mixture to the egg yolks, then add all the egg yolk mix back into the saucepan whilst stirring. Many happy clients and Pandan Lovers from individual users, bakers and various businesses ie gelato, pancakes, cafes etc. Thank you everyone. (6) Turn the heat up on the saucepan to low-medium (4 on my cooktop which would simmer but due to continuous stirring, it does not "boil"). Set the timer and cook (continuously stirring) for 20 mins. You want to cook out the liquid until it thickens to a paste so that when you run the spatula through it, it does not flood back. (7) When done, remove the saucepan from heat. Pour into your prepared/sterilised jars and refrigerate if not immediately eating on some toast! Enjoy Pandan Kaya on Toast with a cup of Kopi O or Black coffee with condensed milk or to avoid sugar, a simple healthy Butterfly Pea tea.

- Pandan Shanghai Mooncake Recipe
How many varieties of Mooncakes have you tried? In our last blog, we showcased a whopping 12 different types of regional variations of mooncakes. Did you manage to pick out a favourite? Check it out here if you haven't read it. Today we focus on one specific type of mooncake - the Pandan Shanghai Mooncake. Shanghai mooncake is characterised by its short crust pastry. The crisp and buttery crust of the skin goes very well indeed with the oriental mooncake lotus paste fillings. A modern variation compared to the typical traditional mooncakes, these mooncakes combine a western style crisp biscuit-like pastry with a traditional Chinese filling which is soft, sweet yet salty from the egg yolks. The Shanghainese Mooncakes are also called 鲜肉月饼 (xiān ròu yuèbǐng). Unlike their far more famous cousin, the Shanghainese Mooncakes are savoury, filled with fresh meat, and best eaten fresh out of the oven. But our chef, Sally Choo "Malaysianised" the Shanghai Mooncake with Pandan and her choice of ingredients. Let's bake some mooncake! Recipe for Pandan Shanghai Mooncake Ingredients: *1 cup plain flour *1 tbsp icing sugar *20g milk powder *1tsp salt *1 tbsp @my.blue.tea Pandan Powder Wet ingredients: *65g butter unsalted, softened *1 large egg * Milk For the Egg wash: *1 egg, lightly beaten *1 tbsp milk *1 heaped tbsp sesame seeds/melon seeds (topping) Method: (1) Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. (2) Add softened butter. Rub in the butter until you get a crumbly texture. (3) Add egg and continue to knead into a soft smooth ball. If it's a bit too wet, you may add a bit of flour, teaspoon by teaspoon. (4) If it's too dry, you can add a bit of milk, teaspoon by teaspoon. (5) Wrap with a plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge. (6) Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F (top and bottom heat). Place your baking tray of mooncakes into the oven and bake for 10 mins. (7) Remove from oven, rest for 5 mins then egg wash and top with melon seeds or sesame seeds. (8) Return to the oven and continue baking until golden brown, about 20 - 25 mins more. (9) Remove from oven and allow it to cool. Store in a covered air tight container at room temperature. Best consumed within 3 days. Store in the chiller for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 2 months. Defrost then, toast them before consuming. Slide through the photos for the process of making Pandan Shanghai Mooncake Mooncakes and Tea - a match made in heaven Chinese tea is by far the most popular choice when it comes to beverage pairing with mooncakes. It is believed that tea can help to rid the stomach of the heavy feeling when one consumes rich, oily food. Tea, with its light flavour, can help to balance out the sweetness of the sweet bean or lotus paste. As for which tea to choose, that depends on your personal preferences. From left we have Blue Goddess, Royal Blue and Blue Myrtle. More intensely flavoured tea varieties, such as Oolong tea, help to reduce the oiliness of the mooncake, and yet provides a good overall balance of the flavour for the pairing. We recommend Blue Goddess with goji berry and Butterfly pea flower if you are having Lotus Seed, Red Bean and Teochew mooncakes. Royal Blue tea is always a lovely choice as it helps to reduce sugar in our body (read our blog on anthocyanins). A red/black tea goes well with the strongest flavoured mooncake. For traditional mooncakes, it is common to find salted egg yolk in the filling so you get a mixture of sweet and savoury. Blue Myrtle would be a good choice to cut through both the sweet and salty flavours of this mooncake. About our Chef, Sally Choo So fortunate to have been introduced to Sally via Lillie Giang, our FOFA founder. "My hometown is in Ipoh, Malaysia and I studied at the Main Convent. During my younger days, I did not do much cooking as we had a maid. I migrated to Australia in 1983. My husband is a Malaysian, from Ipoh too. We have 2 lovely daughters in their early 30s. My hobbies are arts, crafts and I have got more interested in cooking during the later years of my life. I am now in my 60s. I do enjoy the learning process in my cooking experiences and journey. And I appreciate the encouraging comments on my posts especially from members of the food groups which I have joined. The administrator of a group introduced me to My Blue Tea products. I have tried the Pandan Powder which is absolutely fragrant. The aroma of the cakes which I have baked is divine." Thank you for sharing this lovely Pandan Shanghai Mooncake recipe with us, Sally! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
