Ayam Penyet
lunch was at Ayam Penyet House @ the basement of NTUC Income Beach Junction (No. 67 Beach Rd). ayam penyet simply means ’smashed chicken’. sounds interesting doesn’t it and so is its taste.
served in the traditional wooden plate, the crispy yet moist chicken is dished with super hot chilli sambal (paste), fried tofu and raw veges. its so finger licking good but careful with the chilli paste - it was so hot tat my mouth was numb for while. ha ha

so from my mom’s recipe book – a quick n easy recipe for the cupcakes; 10 eggs (yoke n whites seperated), 450 gm sugar, 450 gm self raising flour, 500 gm melted butter and 1½ tsp vanilla essence.
method: beat egg whites till peak, add sugar a bit at a time. add egg yokes one at a time, n mix well. add n mix in the butter, flour n essence. Place in cupcakes n bake at 150 degrees celcius
and there you go - bare naked cupcakes fresh from the oven:
then dress them up frost with creamy sugar icing. simple icing recipe: Mix 250gm icing sugar, 2 eggs (whites only) n squeeze of lemon juice. Beat for around 15 mins.
decorating the cupcakes was fun… we used draggees, icing flowers, thousandsinhundreds, sugared crystal flakes n etc…
