These appear to be already cooked, I meant the fresh, uncooked puff pastry which I can use to make mille feuille...:(

The packaging shows what you can used it for but I believe Sunshine and Pampas are sheets pastries as stated on packaging, need to zoom in to read. Attached a better description of Sunshine above.

or try

Incidentally industry standard now claims that Rough puff pastry is a good cheat version and many bakers seems to be using it now. Personally tried but not successful all the time. Not sure where I went wrong during the times when it didn't work. Definately takes much shorter time than the actually puff pastries. When it works, it does give the layers though not as crisp as actual puff pastries.

Every laminated dough, be it puff pastry, croissant or Danish, begins its life as a thick slab of butter encased in a dough “envelope”. This 3-layer dough-butter-dough package is then flattened and folded however many times it takes to get the number of layers the maker is after

You sounded like a friend who love to go travelling to HK, Bangkok, jb

Anyway, the jenny biscuits are very intensed in terms of their flavours, however, there was once a colleague brought back one that wasn't that good

So my conclusion is you got to go to its main branch to purchase

Actually well just replace the ingredients

Yes, my mistake, many apologies. Got distracted by some of the labelling words like berries and custard. Will give those a try. Thanks, Shyc, Chocolateabs!

May also try using ready made frozen prata in the same method as your video.

 

I sometimes use spring roll skin like a filo pastry. Brush lightly with butter than lined them into muffin tins. Placed your cooked fillings and bake.

- Won't prata be a bit chewy and not crispy?

- Spring roll skin: you mean popiah skin? Interesting...that's available hereabouts like around $15 a kilo. Will give that a try! ^_^

I am thinking if baked at a longer time under foils you might get crispy texture. After all both are layered pastries, different being puff uses butter while prata used oil. Maybe will not get so flaky but can still get the crisp. Only using imagination here, have to try out ... lol. I used frozen prata for almost anything, wrap like kebab rolls, tortilla roll, or lay like waffles on plate topped with fruits like bananas, strawberries and huge scoop of ice cream. I remembered when I was given 2 bottle of chcocolate sauce,even drizzle that and sprinkled with nuts.  yum.

Yes spring roll skin aka popiah skin can be used like filo. Using frozen type here. Never tried using fresh but I believe fresh version might give a different texture. Left pict: Popiah skin buttered and lined in muffin tins, filled with stir fried frozen veg. Right pict: Lined in baking tray, filled with boiled, sliced and seasoned potatoes, raw marinated salmon slices. Blanched and drained veg. Idea came from quiche except instead of using a crust and without the eggs/custard mixture.

I m not in F&B. I don't have formal training. Just enjoy experimenting with food after watching and helping in mom's kitchen for years.  The introduction of internet and cable TV taught me beyond my basic home style cooking. My understanding of food may be wide due to the exposure but mostly theory lol  I rarely doing fancy cooking. I stick to simple salads and home style dishes with little prep works.   I go back to googling each time I need to cook something fancy. I think people like Friendly, Cube3, ThePineappl, Curious_mac etc who really do the baking/cooking are much better.

wow! u have talent for that then

I wish I could be a 1/10th of u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

those names quoted likely they r not from F&B too too (some are the "typically" housewives - of my era, pardon me, this is not meant to be rude, but in their household, no females, so they become the wives of the household to cook, practically they could cook everything)

 

only gen Y and those born later, will go to youtube for cooking lessons .... hence there are many cooking classes ongoing as well as bW mbrs requesting for classes (I genuinely believed they really need handson) just like me...

 

youngsters all laughed at me when they heard I kept signing for courses, cos I need to query, I need to analyse why this and that ...they laughed is cos they felt we and the olds donated money to the schools

 

btw har, all my male friends don't fancy (at one below my age) as well as some females don't fancy the use of facebook etc (facebook has many postings on fanciful dishes- you shd know it better, be it they copied and pasted from u tube) , so u can imagine that they totally don't rely on that @ all (if a human don't even fb, I can imagine will he youtube)

Also, I have friends (ladies, the species that I believed have dedicated fingers and cookings, just like when I visualize a home, I visualised a mum cooking) who went for courses and they baked wrongly cos cannt follow instructions well
(when I attend course, my instructor will point out my mistakes and explain well, I felt they are doing a good service to pass on the lineage of true cooking)

I did try to use online way to do it, but I don't think the outcome is satisfactory, hence I totally stop relying on that unless it is similar recipes, then I can still follow

Many cakes shops sells very sweet items and taking too much sweet stuff is very bad for health.

Yes, unusual spread with Peranakan touch...tried the kueh duduk, with fragrant coconut (tho I really prefer the sweeter gula kind), and their other sweet potato kueh etc. Delicate and rustic ;)

Actually, for puff pastry, cold pastry margarine works better compare to butter as butter tends to be too soft and contains too much moisture.

Frozen pastry margarine slabs can be purchased from baker's shop like Phoon Huat.

Brush some soft butter on the pastry before putting in the filling and on top before baking will easily improve the buttery taste on the baked products

Well actually not exactly. For puff pastry should use some special butter call dry butter.

What exactly is “dry butter”?

Several questions have come in along those lines the last few days. “Dry butter” is a term that French pastry chefs frequently employ, usually in regard to the cultured butter they use for laminated pastry. I confess I don’t know what the technical definition of dry butter is in France (France being France, I’m sure it’s codified under law somewhere). I do know this: normal American butters are usually about 80% butterfat, 17% water and 3% protein. That’s “wet” by European standards, where butter is more like 82% fat and 15% water. That, according to some pastry chefs I’ve talked to, makes standard European butter “dry.”

mangosteen? erm , yes sort of creative, but cheese is abit sourish and then mangosteen too

mangosteen shdnt be too cheap

 

but if u pair up marketing like King and Queen (go in pairs and get discount), on certain days or events like Save the energy day: or valentine , xmas then your durian and mangosteen should be marketed well

To most men, strawberries r sour but women keep insisting it s yummy and sweet

which s also why i deemed mangosteen belongs to the sourish grp

 

 

(natural fruit sweetness is another aspect)

whole cake cost how much? 40sgd?

Puff Pastry sheets can be bought from Phoon Huat too. You can make your own but it's tedious and complicated. Ready made puff pastry usually uses shortening or margarine to have the pastry rise. Usually will have the waxy aftertaste too.

By now all should have tasted

 

getting many n many bakeries producing local term cakes

like ondeh ondeh cakes

pulot hitam cakes

 

i wonder if i really want to enjoy the "bursting" feel of ondeh ondeh, why would i go for a cake ondeh ondeh and not a kueh?

Which is why never in my whole life, ordered or purchased a durian cake/ durian mousse or durian wat

if i need durian, i wil go and get a durian....

 

like some of u who baked,their ingred are  fresh and fr the original land

 

 

 

while their names sounded french, they r local shops- small setting:
