food disaster

I searched for the "kuih sagu" recipe after chatting with Zek about today's menu. What I want to highlight in this entry is not about the menu that I chose, but it is about the incident when I prepared the "kuih sagu".

After finishing the internet browsing and finding the best recipe that I could imagine(I got the recipe from one of the well known cooking fotopages and the recipe shown on the web seemed like a piece of cake to try). So, I read the recipe carefully before I bought the main ingredient which was tapioca. After going to the Champion supermarket and buying tapioca, I cannot help myself from starting to cook. The first step of the recipe said that I needed to boil one cup of sugar with two cups of water. So, I took the standard cup as my guideline and started measuring the ingredients above. I needed to stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Drop in some colour, so Ok then. Done!..Eventually, I needed to put the tapioca into the hot sugar syrup and keep stirring until the tapioca is well cooked.

So I followed the instruction, unfortunately, the tapioca seemed too thicken in a short time and the worst was, it was still not cooked. I kept adding water when I stirred the tapioca until...crap! my tapioca turned a bit too watery and I think that was enough! No more water. I just stirred it thoroughly until it cooked. After putting an effort for almost an hour, so that should be good, I guess!(eventhough, the tapioca still not well cooked). I almost wanted to chuck them into the bin, but such a shame to waste the food though! I poured it into the mould and had my fingers crossed! I was full of hope that my kuih will set.

After two hours resting in a room temperature, it was time to cut them into small pieces. Unfortunately, the kuih turned out a bit watery and flaccid. Well, that is why, sometimes recipe from the internet is a disaster. This is the pics of my "kuih sagu". It should be square instead of round. So anybody has the experience in "kuih sagu" making? If yes, please come out with your recipe for me to follow....

Nurul, aku biasa kalau rebus sagu mesti terkeras. Aku biasa main agak agak jer. Tiap kali nak buat lupa dah ukatan sebelumnya.
