Microwaved Cup Cheese Cake

Found an online recipe to make cheese cake in a cup using microwave. Looks easy enough. Just mix 4 tablespoonful of cream cheese, 2 tablespoonful of greek yogurt, 2 tablespoonful of sugar and one egg together and microwaved it for 1 min and 3 times 20 secs intervals. All 3 supermarkets in Midvalley / Gardens Mall do not have Philadelphia cream cheese. Instead of greek yogurt, sour cream is used.

Day 1: Made it on Fri 24 Jul, ate it on Sat 25 Jul after it sat in the fridge for one night.

I just used cream cheese without sour cream so it was dense with fine texture. Tastes like sweet cream cheese.

Day 2: The Bega Tatura cream cheese says to consume all within 5 days of opening so I had to make the cheese cake for 5 days in a row at most which I shortened it to 4 times.

Day 2: Made it on Sat 25 Jul, ate it on Sun 26 Jul after it sat in the fridge for one night.

This time I use sour cream so it tastes really nice despite being lumpy because I use the cream cheese cold from the fridge and it did not melt fully during the mixing.

Day 3: Made it on Sun 26 Jul, ate it on Mon 27 Jul after it sat in the fridge for one night.

This time I made sure that all the cream cheese melted but I did not mix the egg well enough so the egg white can be seen to be separated. Taste a bit bitter which I suspect due to using too much sour cream, more than 2 tablespoons.

Day 4: Use another type of sugar just to see if I can taste the sugar when the cake is done.

Day 4: Made it on Mon 27 Jul, ate it on Tue 28 Jul after it sat in the fridge for one night.

Mixed well this time but the sugar is not sweet at all. So in 4 days I consumed 250 g of cream cheese and about 110 g of sour cream which I think is not a healthy thing to do so no more making any cheese cake using microwave anymore. Nothing is wasted. All ended up in my tummy.

9.17 am - my breakfast of 3jc soup version MYR 6.50 nett takeaway from Choy Kei coffee shop. I requested for mee hoon mixed with hor fun with no minced meat and for the soup to be put together with the noodles. The seller was incredulous and almost refused to do it until I convinced him that it is ok, I will eat it immediately when I get home. True enough, once I reached home, the noodles have soaked up all the soup and are so soft and yummy, just the way I like them.

I also bought our favourite seafood mee hoon mixed with hor fun MYR 8 nett from the same shop for his breakfast. Lunch is chye kuih and sweet kuih from the same shop too. Dinner is frozen sui gao in the remaining seafood mee hoon soup.

12.37 noon - Lunch: These chye kuih are being sold as crystal dumplings at MYR 1 nett each so bought 10 with 1 foc. I also bought one red angku with mung bean fillings and one green white kuih talam to try from the same stall.

The red angku tastes ok, with soft not too oily thick skin and not too sweet mung bean fillings so I will buy it again. The green white kuih talam is a total no. The texture of the green part is too firm and elastic with an out-of-place taste which I cannot put my finger on.

The fillings for the crystal dumplings are:
1. jicama with spring onion and dried shrimps
2. jicama with mushrooms
3. jicama with lots of choy poh
4. jicama with pieces of prawns
5. tom yum jicama
6. jicama with seaweeds
7. chives
8. yam
9. red carrots with belacan - the fillings are on the sweet side although it has belacan.

Tore them into halves to show the fillings. I will buy 10 again to get one free but won't be able to eat all 11 at one go even though it is on a 2 person sharing basis.
