Short note: Collection point for Taman Megah Charity is on the 12th of February, 8pm, in front of Marco’s Pizza, Kelana Jaya.
It only takes a small act to make a difference; spread the words today, help the needy. :)
Over the past few weeks I’ve been hooked on Paddington’s dollar pancakes
Treasure Box.
It’s called dollar pancakes because the pancakes are in bite size and looks like dollar coins.
You can read about Paddington’s review in my
food blog.
Despite my affections towards these little lovelies, it’s not easy to splurge out RM17++ for every meal.
So I decided to attempt my own dollar pancakes at home. :D
Yep! I’m going to cook!!! Or bake? fry? Pan-bake?
Anyway, I went to the supermarket to buy my instant packet of pancake powder, first because it’s easy to make, second because I live alone, I see no point in buying a bag of flour and all the other necessities like vanilla essence, butter, sugar, baking powder, milk and eggs just to make a few pancakes for one person.
So yea, instant pancake is the way to go.
I scooped spoonful of mixture into a medium heat pan with some olive oil in it to avoid paste sticking to the pan, and wait till the third bubble burst before I flip it.
Each individual pancake would take about 30 seconds or less.
After many spoonings (that sounds wrong), this is the result.
My very own~~~ Nicolekiss Dollar Pancakes!!
Attempting a photo mimic as above.
That is honey by the way, I know I’m supposed to use maple syrup, but those don’t come cheap. >_< Okay la, not too shabby right? It's my first time. Ignore the chao da (burnt) area, it looks okay right? Righttttt?
Anyway, this is me cam-whoring in Paddington House of Pancakes in 1U while waiting for my friend to come.
Attempting a dawnyang…. 
fail!

Finally, my usual selfDiverting from the topic a bit, I have pretty good feedback, in fact out of my expectation, from readers of Nicolekiss to make effort for the CNY charity. You babies make me so proud. *sniff*
Personal emails to offer to make donationsSome offered to donate cash, for those I have give them my specially created Nicolekiss Fund Raising bank account details; some offered food and clothings, for those you can refer to the above short note for pick up point info.
I even have few readers from the states and one from Uganda to offer 100 US dollars donation!! I mean, wow, Uganda!!! And some of you say you can’t do anything because you’re not in KL. -.-
In fact, this reader from
Uganda was the FIRST to email me! The enthusiasm! Unfortunately I don’t know any convenient and fast international bank/credit transfer apart from paypal and I don’t have a paypal, and I don’t think Malaysians can withdraw money from paypal, can we?
Anyone has any suggestion to help these enthusiasts help the kids by suggesting a reliable money transfer method?
