tried to make the sago pudding! and realised i dont have a sieve so that was quite interesting. hahaha!
anw the most exciting part would be trying to make REAL caramel (yummy!) without burning the place down. first try was quite funny cos it became concentrated yet not yet caramelised. so when i poured it out, it crystallised immediately in my container! i was like SHIT. now what.
so i decided i should attempt to caramelise it. so found this recipe which sounded nice. so i added water to the super huge block of sugar, melted it down again. this time it worked! there was this line in the instructions that freaked me out a little.
"6. Once sugar has reached the temperature, or proper colour, remove the pot from the heat and add the cup of water quickly and place the lid over the pot. CAUTION! Adding water to hot sugar results in a lot of sputtering and steaming. The steam and flying blobs of hot sugar can burn, so use your oven mitts and stay back once you add the water."
i was like what?! thankfully i figured that i should put my pot under the hot water dispenser and just press the button. and it worked! hahahaha! so yes thats the trick to making perfect caramel! add a little water at the end! =)

at first i didnt add enough water so when i poured the caramel onto my cold sago, it solidified! then i added more and thankfully it remained a liquid. =P wonders of science and experimenting.
my little tub of liquid gold.
ok my sago is green because i think colourless sago looks ugly with condensed milk. i've still some sense of presentation alright. imagine what it will look like! considering my bowl is white too! eww.. not appealing at all!
