Kunafa

Masa kt tanah suci..sangat laaa susah nk jumpa ni..lagi pun masa sangat packed and sangat tak sempat untuk keluar jalan jauh2. Nasi memang tak selera sangat nk makan..kecuali time makan nasi mendy tu..ratah dia punyer lamb jer la..Kadang2 beli roasted chicken dia..kat depan hotel Green Palace..famous and sedap. Am a karnivor type of person..so mmg makan daging jer la memanjang..hehehe.. Nasi kurang sikit nak jamah..walau pun nasi dia sangat sedap (seriusly sedap!!). Kat sana banyak makan kacang2, kurma, and dessert. Tapi yang paling banyak sekali ..Ice Cream..Al-Samah..wajib beli every time balik masjid..hahahhaa..sangat sedap ok.. Dessert arab ni manis dia lain skit..manis yang melampau. I remember one of my Iranian friend, she told me that..Middle East people loves sweets..and they said..sweet food boleh buat kita nampak cantik. Huh?? really?? Hehehe...ntah la..I still remember her name..it's ROLA..

I have tried a few of their dessert..but i can only name a few..like basboousah..baclava..kunafa..and bla..bla..bla..hehehe..later I'll update  togehter with recipe k. Surprise!! Kali ni..nak citer pasal KUNAFA. Sangat sedap..kat sana..they are a few type of KUNAFA..some with banana..ada yang guna almonds or mixed of nuts as fillings, but my favourite one was with cream cheesse fillings. I dont know how to describe the taste really..it's like creamy, soury, and sedikit lemak2 manis and cruchy..and manis2 gula..huhuhuhu..kena buat sdiri then u'll know how it taste like. Kat Malaysia ni I tak tau la kt mana u can get..may be can try kat Al-Amar Pavillion..been there a few times..but my ever favourite dessert that i chose was Baclava. 

So here is how u can make this dessert..( but i tell u ..it's quite hard to get the ingredients in here..lucky me!!) ..sambil2 buat tu..pasang la lagu Arab..baru ada feel..hehehe..(teringat plk kt Imran..mamat Arab yg sangat hensem jumpa kt sana..huhuh..)

Cheesse..boleh guna any of your favourite cheesse...and I used Camembert..

Guna susu Arab..sbb beli sekali harung trus..tapi best..Owh..lupa nak post kat sini..I used SCS butter jugak..Take note!

Renehkan susu...sehingga menggelegak..may be for around 5 mins..

Prepare the syrup...and leave it cool untuk nak siram kt atas kunafa nnti

Kitchen Aid??!! hahahahaha...no...no..no..x payah guna..

Camembert Cheese..ini lah rupa dia..

Guna jugak cheddar cheese..Actually u can add as many type of cheese that u want...it's your Kunafa..it's your own taste..tapi kalo tak sedap tanggung sendiri la ea..hehehe..

Put on heat and stirred up to 15-20 min. Mesti kacau or else dia akan hangus and berketul-ketul..

So..OK this is the vermicelli that I used to make this KUNAFA..rupa mcm mee hoon..tapi sbenarnya bukan ok..jgn plk pi beli mee hoon..Confirm X jadi!

And ni rupa dia setelah di gaul bersama dengan butter yang telah di cairkan. U may use your own favourite butter..but for me..my all time favourite is either SCS or Golden Churn..lemak dia lain skit. Tapi hangin jgk la bila tgk harga dia makin lama makin mahal...Harga butter pun nak berkira ker?? Hissshhh..

Bahagikan kepada dua bahagian..separuh masukkan ke dalam acuan or pyrex then isi kan fillings then ratakan baki KUNAFA pada bahagian atasnya.

Ok now..cream cheesse fillings yang dah pekat tadi ..selepas di sejukkan..di curah ke atas KUNAFA tadi.

Bakar pada suhu 200 darjah celcius. selama 20 mins.

Dah jadi golden brown..

Then..curahkan sirup yang dah disejukkan tadi..Pastu ..Serve it hot or cold toghether with pistachios!!

Kalo nak happening lagi..make sure lagu Arab tu ada..sambil2 imagine ada belly dancer kt depan....hhahahhahaha. ( Hishh..astagfirullah...)
