Korea Holiday Trip '09

Hurray... Holiday season again! We planed to get Korea after taiwan trip last year. This will known as our Honeymoon trip as well. hehe... :)

This trip include Edwin and I, there are 5 couples went for honeymoon trip. 2 couples are getting married on the same date on Lunar Calendar Aug15th as most people said that will be a good day for wedding. We know each other more after the 2nd day of the trip. There are also a group of 6 persons which are a gang that they had date each other to go for a trip each year.

We arrived Korea are in the evening 6pm. Korea time is 1 hour faster compare to Malaysia. After transit the flight from Hong Kong. Each of us can feel the COLD start in the Korea airport. We need took a bullet train to reach the main Exit, there are total 50+ exit in Korea airport....WOW....when we get to the main exit door... There is one cute, round, plum guy is holding a card shown our tour agent name. So... he is our tour guide of the Korea Trip.

The Tour guide name is "Siao Yuen" (chinese means little round) find that the name soooooo suitable for him!hehhe....He got a big spec with black frame... Cute hairstyle...hm.... one word to discribe him is "Cute"!

When the time we reach the Hotel, we try to find some restorant near by to have a try for Korea food. Very interest thing is both of us cant speak Korean!!!! Oh ~~ No....... How to Order the Food.... lastly we got to use body language to ask which kind of food is the best one... by just pointing to the poster on the WALL......too bad..... But the beef soup noodle really nice!

The next day, we do travel to some famous place in Seoul. In the evening time got to take the Local economic flight "Jin-air" to Jeju Island. Siao Yuen told us bout some history of the Jeju Island. Actually last time Jeju island is known as "Heaven for Men" as there is the Island got majority of women so Once there got a Men visit there... they will treat the Men like preasures... so Men over there are no need to work nor take care of the family. They can have few wifes as the same time as well. So last time the the human they called as "pali" so the

small boy called"Tong-pali"( tong in chinese mean small boy as well), lady before married called "pi-pali" (as they are too skinnic before marry), Women after Married called "Nen-pali" ( as they can capable to take care over a family so Nen mean to capable). Lastly the Men after married are the most interesting part as they are called "Wang-pali" ( Wang can be mean to King but if included the Pa... as Wang-pa it sound like chinese word bullshit kind of person!)

I like the autumn wheather in Korea. For more north part of Korea the more colder will be. I really can feel the Romantics of the places in Korea. Specially in Naomi Island...is really nice place no wonder the Korea movie "Winter Sonata" took this place for the lovely couple... is really romance! Until the 5th day trip, Edwin and I really lost! We forget which day we are in the trip d....On the last day, I really find wanna go home to have some Hockien mee, laksa, and Curry mee... after having the 7 days of Korea steamboat and BBQ for Lunch and Dinner.... is really "Yuck"!

My lovely Weekend

This is more challenge Mille crepe recipe for me to try! I fail making the crepe for more than 10 peices when the time I think that I m going to gave up!... I just pray to god.. just give me the guidance and patience to make it... Can see my crepe mixture left not much...If I cant make the crepe successfully, the cream mixuture will going to be wasted by just throw it away!!! I just tell myself that I will try until the creep mixture finish...
After the prayer I still cant get the first crepe until...suddenly an idea just flash over in my mind... that why not try to up-side down the pan on a plate by turning another side of the crepe instead of using hand to turn it on the pan!! Hm..... finally I get my first creep success!! praise the lord ... I got it...lastly I just get total only 16 layer of creeps ( but suppose to make 20 layer and above)




Just copy and print out the recipe for to try on! hehhee... is just nice!

For the crêpes batter:

6 tablespoons butter
3 cups milk
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
7 tbsp. sugarPinch saltvegetable oil

The day before serving the cake, make the crepe batter and the pastry cream. For the batter, cook the butter in a small pan until brown like hazelnuts. Set aside. In another small pan, heat the milk until steaming; allow to cool for 10 minutes. In a mixer on medium-low speed, beat together the eggs, flour, sugar and salt. Slowly add the hot milk and browned butter. Pour into a container with a spout, cover and refrigerate overnight.

To make the crepes, bring the batter to room temperature. Place a nonstick or seasoned 9-inch crepe pan over medium heat. Swab the surface with the oil, then add about 3 tablespoons batter and swirl to cover the surface. Cook until the bottom just begins to brown, about 1 minute, then carefully lift an edge and flip the crepe with your fingers. Cook on the other side for no longer than 5 seconds. Flip the crepe onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Repeat until you have 20 perfect crepes.

For the vanilla pastry cream:
2 cups milk1 tbsp. vanilla extract
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch, sifted
3 1/2 tbsp. butter

Bring the milk to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract then set aside for 10 minutes. Fill a large bowl with ice and set aside a small bowl that can hold the finished pastry cream and be placed in this ice bath.
In a medium heavy-bottomed pan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in the hot milk, then place pan over high heat and bring to a boil, whisking vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes. Press the pastry cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the small bowl. Set the bowl in the ice bath and stir until the temperature reaches 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Stir in the butter. When completely cool, cover and refrigerate.


To assemble the cake:

2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons Kirsch
icing sugar (optional)

Whip the heavy cream with the tablespoon sugar and the Kirsch. It won’t hold stiff peaks but that’s okay. Fold it into the pastry cream.
Lay 1 crepe on a cake plate. Using an icing spatula, completely cover with a thin layer of pastry cream (about 1/4 cup). Cover with a crepe and repeat to make a stack of 20, with the best-looking crepe on top. Chill for at least 2 hours. Set out for 30 minutes before serving. If you have a blowtorch for creme brulee, sprinkle the top crepe with 2 tablespoons sugar and caramelize with the torch; otherwise, dust with confectioners’ sugar. Slice like a cake.

We start of journey on Thurday morning and it was a rainny day. First of all, we had planed to have our breakfast in Ipoh "Fook San tim sum restaurant". It take about 2hrs time from Penang to reach Ipoh. When we reach infront of "Fook San Tim Sum" the door was closed. We taught they are closing on Thurday. However, we just move our way to find some where else for other Tim sum restaurant near by. Oh.. when we drive the place, suddenly we found a Big Tim Sum restaurant with just brand new renovated and wanna see the name of restaurant ... Oh mind... It is "Fook San Tim Sum"....just how lucky are we... hahhahaa.... They move there and had expand to more largest space building.

After the breakfast, we continue our journey to Cameron Highland. We were staying there for 3 days 2 night... so will go home on Saturday morning. We rent an appartment there and we have plan to few famous spots in Cameron.

First day, We went to the "BOH" tea farm. The air there is really cool and fresh. We just take our time relax in the tea farm cafe... and enjoy the real "Tea" break... hhahaha... and Jordan just take his time busy here busy there to take photos......

Jordan saw the view of this road is quite nice and ask us stand and took a photo... we just stand there for few second... but seem like waiting a bit long.... but still not hear any sound said "ok" or "one more time"... suddenly hear a laughing, where he and Annie already walk away... $£%$%"£$^%^%$^£.... and laugh at us that still standing there......but really funny! hhhahahaa.....

The Second day, we went to the Catus Farm, Bee farm and Waterfall... we driving up down the hills... I think same road we had past by for 3 to 4 times....... The catus farm really got many nice flowers, plants and some unique catus there. We saw one corner that are really special, just look like the foreign country's garden.

After the Catus farm, we went back to appartment and take a noon nap then were continue go to find the Waterfall near by our appartment .... we get disappointment of the waterfall there as they all been polluted with many plastics bag, papers.. and looks dirty... just left below photo the "Robinson waterfall" only can get a nice view for Jordan to take the photos...
