IKUTLAH CUBA RESIPI INI

Sebenarnya dah hampir seminggu teringin sangat nak mencuba resipi ini. Semalam hari cuti. Saja jer nak mencuba resipi yang mencabar.

Resipi ini adalah dari peserta rancangan TV 'Topchef' tu.  Tapi tak berapa ingat pula siapa peserta berkenaan.  Nampak menarik dan mereka memenangi cabaran penyingkiran episod berkenaan.

Ada bahannya tak ada.  Jadi terpaksalah ganti dengan bahan yang sesuai.  Tapi hasilnya amat memuaskan.
