・Coconut whipped cream cake ・
Especially when you have chilled coconut water in the summer day. You will feel like you are in heaven.
A mild sweet and nice aroma. Ummm...By the way, I heard that coconut is IN for hollywood right now.
Because it contains a lot of Estrogen hormone and it's make your skin radient.
So.. if you are the health concious ones and still want to have some sweets, I think this menu suits you.
This recipe I have made it many times because everyone (my family, my bf's family, my colleages, my friends, ..) love it.
Young coconut is the universal fruit for everyone (especially seniors those don't like
ingredients those strange to the place they belong).
And the whipped cream make this cake lighter than other butter frosted cake.

・Mango mousse cheesecake ・
Even though we had a weird weather last week.
19 degree centigrade!! OMG!!
This is colder than the coldest night of our winter.
(Average winter in BKK is about 20 something - nearly 30. How sad. T T Girls here never have a chance for Winter collection :( )
As you can see from the chart below. Actually we has 3 seasons; Summer, Rainy and Winter. But since there is no different between seasons, so we frequenly say that, in Thailand we got 3 season; Summer, Summer - er, and Summer - est. ;b
So.. if you love sunshine, this is your heaven.
The next thing that we think about when it's come to Summer is .. summer fruits.
Mango, Durian (I don't like it but my mom does), coconut, watermelon, tamarind, etc.
And this time I choose mango to play big role in my dessert.
Mango is one of the most famous fruit in Summer. Due to it's aroma and taste.
It is good to be eat raw and ripe.
Raw style; we dip it in sweet sauce that will balance it's sourness.
Ripe style; we eat ripe mango with sweet sticky rice topped by coconut milk and sprinkle with white sesame. Yumm :9
Even Swensen's also has this special menu on Summer. Love it.
This time I try using mango in my dessert. Because I got many ripe mangoes right now.
So this is the good way to execute them. :)
Source of the recipe here.
And since it's in Thai, this is my translated version.
Directions
- Break biscuit, combine with melted butter and press in the cheesescake pan. Chill.
- Soak gelatin sheets in cold water until they're soften. Put in microwave for 1 min.
- Beat creamcheese with lime juice, melted gelatin and sugar until smooth.
- Fold in mango and pour in prepared tin. Chill until firm.
Mango Topping
- Soak gelatin sheets in cold water until they're soften.
- In the pot over low heat, mix all ingredient except yogurt / whipping cream. Bring to boil.
- Add yogurt. Stir to cool down the sauce and blend in the blender.
- Pour on the chilled cheesecake. Chill overnight.
Enjoy. ;b
Next time I think I will change biscuit crust to sweet sticky rice. You think it'll work?

・Ganbare Japan ・
A 8.9 magnitude earthquake and the tsunami that has take many lifes.
I love Japan. I have visited there 2 times and plan to go a lot more.
This country is cute, I mean in all aspect (in the tourist point of view) .
People, places, creations ... everything.
I got many inspiration from Japan. And I feel really sorry for the things that has happened.
But I think and really hope that they will recover soon.
They got the greatest human resouces and these people has great heart. I have heard many stories that tell about how Japanese deal with the situation, how they helped each other, the way they encourage those who lost faith.
We (Thailand) also past the similar situation; Tsunami at Patong, Phuket on a post Christmas day year 2004.
And on that situation we see kindness from many countries.
Japan is the one that has donated us quickly with the greatest amount of money.
We are really thank you.
And I think this is time to generously repay them.

・ Banana chocolate mousse ・
(This is also my favorite restaurant :3) This restaurant is a izakaya style restaurant.
When I came here, I feel like I'm in Japan. :)
They serve japaneese dishes and liquor. All dish taste authentic (maybe it's because of the atmosphere.)
My favorite dish is kimchi nabe and all yakitori dishes. (That's mean all :b)
Though I love the food and atmosphere but what I find it quite annoy is the chorus of waiters, waitresses that keep yelling in my ears.
I understand the tradition but this is too much. I can't keep concentrate on our table's topic and sometimes it makes me startle.
You can read (other's) review here.
After we finished the meal, I ordered chocolate mousse (that is also gooood :9) but unfortunately that they don't have any left. :(
So here comes my version of chocolate mousse and because I still have bananas left from making banoffee pie so I add it up together.
Actually I got this recipe from someone's blog, but really sorry that I don't remember where. Thank you for your recipe. It's really good. :)
Ingredients
Milk chocolate 100 g
Dark chocolate 150 g
3 egg white
1/2 cup syrup
250 g whipping cream
bananas
Direction
1. Melting chocolate on double boiler once melted, set aside.
2. Beat egg white until having soft peak add warm syrup. Beat until you got stiff peak. Fold in chocolate ingredient.
3. Whip whipping cream until stiff peak form, fold into no.2 ingredient.
4. Scoop on serving dish, add banana and chill over the night.
Enjoy :)
By the way, did anyone watch "Black Swan" yet?
I love it.
This movie makes my eyes stick on screen all the way.
Natalie's acting is super good. I think she deserves Oscar.
What do you think?
