Buddhist prayer beads

Hi Hi, I am back…It was a fun trip to Japan with my baby, mother and sister.

Especially, it was already 5 years since I came back from Japan.

We felt extremely tired during this trip as we need to walk here and there by carrying my baby.

*sigh* By talking about my baby, he is 16-months 5 days old.

He loves us to cuddle him always while going here and there, without any baby-carrier or stroller.

It was super duper tired thou.

Even though it was tired trip, we still have time to grab some nice and interesting stuff from Japan.

And, I wish to share with you all at here.

In Japan, they have this thing called “Juzu (Buddhist prayer beads)”.

This beads have different meaning and power where Japanese believe by wearing it, “luck” will be changing or power-up.

Here’s some of the beads that i brought back from Japan.

Check it out if you’re interested in any.

2) Orange B.P.B-For love

3) Red B.P.B– For recover from sickness

Simply syrup

Do you know why Japanese sponge cake won’t be as dry as normal sponge cake?

It’s because they apply this syrup on the sponge cake to keep it moist.

So, now you got the hints??

Prepare this while you’re going to use sponge cake as a base for any other cake.

You will definitely have the moist texture of the cake.

Strawberry Mousse Cake☆苺ムースケーキ

Ah huh…i just found that i have a pack of KOREA strawberry in my fridge.

Korea’s strawberry is getting popular in Malaysia now, as compared to the United State’s strawberry, Korea’s strawberry is sweeter and nicer taste.

By the way, have you ever heard about “いちご狩り (strawberry picking)”?

It’s very common in Japan during winter season (DEC to JAN).

You will see there’s lots of strawberry farm organize strawberry picking plan everywhere in Japan.

It is so fun where you can pick and eat strawberry as many as you like….of course, in certain time limit.

Hmm…but still, it’s super duper Yummy!!!

It just reminded me the strawberry picking trip that i went before.

So, i decided to make 草莓慕斯 with my yummy Korean’s strawberry which i found this recipe at dougou.

Photo source: http://www.douguo.com/cookbook/160729.html

Yield: 15cm round pan
Time: 3 hours
Level: ★★★

材料:

蛋糕片1片
草莓200克
砂糖20克
朗姆酒5ml
鲜奶油200克
砂糖20克
草莓果酱50克
清水30克
吉利丁片2.5片(约13克)

草莓慕斯的做法步骤

1. 蛋糕片切成模具大小垫入模具底部备用。吉利丁片用冰水浸泡5-10分钟。

2. 草莓搅打成果泥，和砂糖混合，放入锅中加热，再放入泡软的2片吉利丁片，搅拌至吉利丁融化即可关火。稍凉后加入朗姆酒拌匀。

3. 将鲜奶油200克，砂糖20克混合，打发至6成发泡，即浓稠的能流动的状态。跟草莓果泥混合均匀倒入垫了蛋糕片的模具中，倒入9成满即可，放冰箱冷冻15分钟。

4. 将草莓果酱50克，清水30克混合，加热搅拌，加入剩余的1/2片吉利丁片，搅拌至吉利丁融化关火。

5. 从冰箱取出表面基本凝固的草莓果泥奶油，慢慢将果酱层倒入在表面，再放入冰箱冷藏4小时以上食用。

小贴士

***做慕斯用的鲜奶油不需要打的特别硬挺，否则不容易跟其他材料混合均匀。
***果酱层主要是做表面的装饰，也可以不做，直接将草莓奶油糊倒满模具也行。

Here’s another recipe for strawberry mousse (Japanese recipe, translated in English version)…Well, i haven’t try this recipe before as the original recipe i tried was Chinese as the above.
