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!

I am embarking on an effort to collect my mummy's recipes. It is not an easy task as she does not have her recipes written down and she bases the quantities on her intuition. 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. Serve.
