Uitmate 猫山王 Durian Cheesecake

Ultimate 猫山王 Durian Cheesecake is ultimate in many sense of the word! First, it is an expensive cake with 3-4 good quality durian which can easily cost more than $50. Yes, just the durian itself. Second, it is so decadent (aka sinful) with 1 can of condensed milk on top of the cheese, cream and durian. Thirdly, it is indescribly marvelously delicious.

In our family, this awesome cake only makes its grand appearance once a year on one a special occasion - Mother's Day. So, let me dedicate this cake to my mother and my husband's nanny. Happy Mother's Day to the two mummies!

But I am sure that this endeavour is worthwhile as what I am collecting are not mere recipes but also wonderful memories. This dish, shallots steamed chicken wings, is one of my favourites when I was kid. Ingredients: - 1 kg of chicken mid wings - 4 tablespoons of light soya sauce - 2 tablespoon of sesame oil - 3 tablespoons of hua tiao wine - pepper - 6 shallots, chopped - spring onions and parsley, chopped for garnish Procedures: 1) Marinate chicken wings and shallots with light soya sauce, sesame oil, hua tiao wine and pepper for 30 minutes. 2) Arrange on a steaming plate and steam for 30 minutes. 3) Garnish with spring onions and parsley.
