Let's Play A Guessing Game, Shall We? Part III

After the kitchen disaster experience with my supposedly Pandan Chiffon Cake, I decided to make these tiny, fluffy, sweet thang.

What are they? Well my friends, that is where you come in and guess. I do however have told a few of you what they are so I would really appreciate if you dont tell. Yet. Ok? But you can still pick which set of pictures should I use for the recipe. I kind of gone a bit too excited about them that I took 2 set of pictures using different props and lighting.

So, come all and join in the fun of guessing game and choosing pictures.

Let's Play A Guessing Game, Shall We? Part II

Now, can you guess what those are?

************************************************************

Thank you all for playing along with my guessing game. Yes, this is Cek Mek Molek. Its very popular especially in the East Coast of Malaysia, mainly in the states of Kelantan and Terengganu. Eventhough my family live in Kuala Lumpur, I basically grew up in the East Coast since I went to a boarding school and attended a higher institution there. And that is how I got to know of all the goodies that East Coast have to offer. The words cek mek basically means lady and molek means pretty, sweet, cute and/or petite so directly translated it means Pretty/Sweet Lady. They may not be that pretty in look but they sure are sweet!

I made this during one of days when I was sitting watching the tv on one fine Sunday evening when suddenly, just out of the blue, I just crave for it. They are pretty easy to make since the ingredients are very basic. Sweet potato, flour, salt, sugar and oil for frying, that is all you need to make this sweet delicacy.

Cek Mek Molek

Serves 3-4

400-500gm sweet potato (I use 1 medium size)

1/2 cup flour (more or less depending on the size of the potato)

1/2 tsp salt

sugar

frying oil (enough to deep-fry them)

1. Boil the sweet potato until soft. Drain and mashed.

2. Slowly add in the flour and salt and mix well. Just remember that too much of flour will make them hard.

3. In a wok or frying pan or deep fryer, heat the oil using medium heat.

4. Take some of the dough and shape into a ball about 2in diameter. Since the dough can be pretty sticky, sprinkle some flour on you palm before you make the ball.

5. Slowly flatten the ball and press the middle part to make a small crater. Put some sugar and fold it back into a ball. Make sure it is properly sealed to avoid the sugar from running out when frying.

6. Slowly shape the ball into an oval shape with a slightly sharpened ends. As you can see from the pictures, I failed in making the ends sharp. Continue until all the dough is finished.

7. Fry them until golden brown.

Cek Mek Molek is usually enjoyed for breakfast and/or tea. Do be extra careful when biting into this delicacy as the sugar inside will already turned into liquid form (syrup). Biting it too fast or hard can result in having your whole table and/or shirt covered with the syrup.
