Different ways of making agar agar

I just made some agar agar for tomorrow christmas party at my brother's house.
Bought this box of chendol strips from the supermarket.


This is how the chendol strips looked like. I blanched them in hot water and set aside. Boil 12 gm agar agar powder, 850ml of water, 200 gm caster sugar, 200 ml coconut cream, pinch of salt, 3 pandan leaves tied into a knot, 1 box of green chendol strips.

When boiled pour into moulds and add some chendol strips. Let it set and refrigerate.
This heart shaped mould is lovely, I must remember to do a valentine dessert...lol

This is a peach agar agar. Just boiled some agar agar powder, water, sugar and when boiled, pour into mould and add peaches. Let it set and refrigerate.

Tonight I will make another dish, braised mushroom for tomorrow party. So these are my contribution for tomorrow pot luck party.

I am ready for tomorrow part. :)

Oven Baked Chicken Wings

Just add some minced garlic, pinch of salt, 4 or 5 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tbsp of honey (more if you like sweet) and marinated them with chicken wings for at least for more 30 minutes.
Bake in hour for 1 hour or 1 1/4 hours and keep turning the chicken wings every 20 minutes for even baking. My family loved it.
