Chocolate Cream & Chocolate Chips Cheese Cake

250g Ricotta Cheese

500g Cream Cheese 1/2 cup of butter

200g of Chocolate Cream ( Desert Dips )

100g of Chocolate Chips ( The baking type )

1 Whole Lemon Juice without any seeds

1 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla extract

3 cups of sugar

2 cups of Sour Cream

5 egg whites

1 whole egg

enough digestive biscuit for the bottom layer of the cheese cake

First take those digestive biscuits and put a hand full of them into a ziplock bag, make sure there's not too much air trapped inside when you zip it up and crush the biscuits inside real good. The reason I choose to use a large ziplock bag cause not only they are tough, but also allows you to see where are the larger chunks within and pinpoint crush them up :)

Now use some butter and grease a 9" spring form pan and start filling the crushed biscuits in to form a roughly 3 mm thick layer of biscuits. Use any flat flexible plastic lid like those that comes with plastic lunch boxes, to press and pack in the biscuits at the bottom of the pan.

Now mix the 2 types of cheese in a large mixing bowl. Make sure they are room temperature so its easier to hand whipped. Yes ! you heard right .... using a hand whip is the best as you can control the size of the rotation and the single direction you start and end with. That means if you started with a clock wise direction please try to maintain that direction all the way till the end. Reason is something to do with aligning the food fibres within the mixture to 1 single direction :P

Now add in 1 whole egg and whip. Next make sure the mixture is blend well and start adding in 1 egg white at a time, continue whipping until each egg white added is completely blend in before the next egg white is added in. After the 5th egg white has been blended in then add in the vanilla extract, all the lemon juices, 1/2 cup of Sour Cream and enough sugar to taste( I personally like it sweet !).

Now pour the whole mixture into the spring form pan on top of the pressed biscuit layer slowly. Level the top out evenly and back for 45 mins at 175 degrees C. After that lower the temperature to 150 degrees C for another 10 mins or so or until the center of the cheese cake is set. To test if your cake is baked through you can always employ the use of a nice long chopstick to stick down the middle of the cake, if it comes out dry then your cake should be done. Now take it out and leave it out in the table to cool for 10 mins.

Now take the 1 and 1/2 cups of sour cream into a mixing bowl, add in the Chocolate Desert Dip and sugar to taste. Once you have whipped all of that to a nice clean mixture, add in all the chocolate chips to continue whipping. Finally just slowly pour it over the baked cheesecake which is still in the spring form pan. Now lower the temperature of the oven to 125 degrees C and bake for another 15 mins. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool for about 1 hour to 2 hour till its at room temperature before you cover the top with some light flat material like cupboard or a flat dish and set it inside the fridge for at least 8 hours but 12 hours is best ! When read serve with a nice glass of white wine :) bon apatite :D

Pan Grilled Dory Fillet with Baby Asparagus finished in Broccoli honey sauce

I love fish or any type of fish for that matter. They are easy to cook and have their own distinct flavors too ! All you need is to cook it with a sauce and that's it ! I choose Dory as its usually skinned and debone. It has a nice creamy silky texture and its taste great !

200g Dory Fillet ( please try not to get those that were chilled to a rock )

40g of Broccoli cleaned and blended fine in a food processor ( leave out most of the stem )

150g of Baby Asparagus ( chopped )

1 table spoon of Honey

1 cup of heavy cream

1/2 cup of white wine or apple cider

1 teaspoon of freshly chopped Rose Mary herb or the ones from a herbs bottle.

1 teaspoon of onion salt

4 table spoon of salted butter

1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Heat up a large grilling pan, add in 1 table spoon of butter and start cooking the baby asparagus in it. Season to taste with the onion salt, black pepper and rose Mary herbs. Just lightly cook it for about 1 minute or so and then set them aside.

Now add in all the butter , add in the pepper , onion salt and the rest of the rose Mary herb over the melted butter. Just sprinkle them over the area on the pan which you will be placing the Dory fillet. Grill the Dory over medium high heat for about 3 minutes on 1 side. Once the first side is ready just season the top side with Onion salt and black pepper before you flip it over and grill for another 3 minutes.

Remove the Dory from the grilling pan and sent it on a large flat serving plate. Arrange the cooked baby asparagus on top of the Dory fillet. Now we move on to the sauce. Using back all the sauce that was left behind on the grilling pan, add in the white wine or apple cider, take a wooden spoon and start gently scrubbing off the sticky chunks of dory fillets that was left on the pan. After that add in the heavy cream and 1/2 table spoon of the blended broccoli. Add onion salt and honey to taste. Once the sauce mixture is reduced and thicken for about 3 to 4 minutes , carefully spoon the sauce around the Dory Fillet and serve immediately. Enjoy !!

Pasta with Broccoli Ham Chips and Gorgonzola

I always love the strong tangy flavour of Gorgonzola cheese, though a little on the pricey side. Still have you ever wonder how wonderful it would taste when its put into your mouth? It more then worth its weight in gold. Hey think of it this way, cant argue with hundreds of years of approvals and market demand since the day it was discovered hehehehe.


200g of Pasta cooked till Al Den ta ( drained )
100g of Gorgonzola Cheese with rims removed
150g Fresh Broccoli cut into bite size
150g of Ham Chips of any type of meat
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup of whitewine or apple cider
3 tablespoon of salted butter
1 teaspoon of onion salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
2 cloves of fresh garlic diced



First add the butter into a pre heated deep pan, add in the ham chips and garlic. Stir fry the mixture for about 3 minutes or so. Add the onion salt and pepper to taste. Once the ham chips and the garlic starts to brown a little on the edges, add in the wine or apple cider together with the heavy cream. Boil the whole mixture for about 5 minutes or until its reduced and thicken. While you were cooking the mixture you have to prepare boiling water and bath the broccoli in it for 20 secs, drained and set aside.

Lower the heat of the deep pan, toss in the broccoli which you had prepared earlier. Make sure the broccoli is all well coated with the mixture. Now add in the Pasta and the diced Gorgonzola Cheese and toss until you can see the cheese had started to melt and gives off the heavenly smell. Serve immediately with garnish of Italy Chives and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy !

Chicken Steak in Whitewine Cream Sauce Macaroni & Broccoli

Today I had a special guests dropping by my kitchen, she doesn't really enjoy western cooking but I promised that she would at least be able to swallow my cooking hahahaha... when I asked what she like to try and she of cause replied conservatively..." Chicken would be nice :) " and that's why I decided to prepare this no nonsense dish which is easy to cook and not too heavy on the taste buds to whom already had way too much MSG and Chinese Yan Chow Fried Rice !

200g Single boneless skinless chicken breast meat

100g of fresh Broccoli

150g of Cooked Macaroni drained

100g of Frankfurt's sausages diced in small cubes

1/2 of large onion finely diced

1/2 cup of heavy cream

1 cup of White Wine

2 table spoon of Parmesan Cheese

1 table spoon of salted Butter

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of dried mixed herbs

1 teaspoon of white pepper powder

1 teaspoon of black pepper powder

1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder flakes

Boil up a pot of water with a little pinch of salt. Once the water is bubbling, turn off the heat and quickly bath the cloves of broccoli into the hot water, rinse and drained after a few secs. Set it aside.

Heat up a frying pan with no oil at all. Once there is smoke coming off the hot surface put in the butter and immediately place the chicken meat over it. Now take a pinch of salt, white pepper and herbs with your fingers, sprinkle over the chicken meat on the top. Let the chicken cook for about 2 mins and flip it over. Repeat the seasoning on the this side of the chicken too. Don't use too much salt. Just a little pinch will do. Now use a wooden ladle and press down on the meat to help it cook better. After 2 mins flip it over again and repeat the last step. Cook and press for another 2 mins or so then lift the chicken breast out of the hot pan and set it aside on a large serving plate. Place the cooked broccoli on the plate too.

Now with all the juices still in the pan add in the white wine and onions. Cook for about 5 mins and then add in the cream and cook for another 5 mins. Once it ready season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add in the diced sausages and 1 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 5 mins and turn off the heat.

Before you add in the Macaroni please fill up a small bowl of the sauce and set it aside. Now add in the Macaroni and stir it all nicely till everything is coated well in the sauce. Now serve the Macaroni onto the side of the Chicken Breast and the broccoli. Serve immediately with a little bit of the sauce you set aside earlier in that small bowl over the chicken breast and the broccoli. sprinkle a little bit of the Parmesan cheese over the Macaroni too. Enjoy !!
