Corn Pudding + Tepung Pelita

Corn pudding is just an ordinary pudding that we usually eat. Since, it is one of my favourite desserts, I decided to learn how to make it from my mum. I thought it was hard, but fortunately, no, it is not that hard at all (if you have all the ingredients). Even the ingredients are very basic ingredients; corn starch, custard, sugar, sweetened corn and milk. I don't know if you can find these ingredients in Moscow, but I have them because we brought them from Malaysia. It is very very easy when you have these ingredients. Corn pudding can be both baked and not baked one, but I only like the not baked one and that's why I learned how to make it. This corn pudding is very simple. You just put all the ingredients in a pot, in order of course, then just cooked it until it becomes thick. Then, you pour it in a container then put it in the refrigerator overnight or if you prefer eating it hot, you can eat right after you cooked it, no need to put it in the refrigerator. Since it is my favourite, it was amazingly delicious.
As for the second dessert, which is tepung pelita, it is a traditional Malay dessert which tastes really delicious and also one of my favourites. It is like pudding but differently. I don't really know how to describe the texture of it. Again, the ingredients are very basic; cornflour, sugar, water, coconut milk and salt. And again, just put all the ingredients in a pot in order and stir it until it has thicken. Then, pour it in a container, then again, put it in the refrigerator overnight, it is so much better eating it while it's cold, so, better to put it in the refrigerator. When I tasted it, it was just so sweet, so like after eating it I have to drink water. But I still liked it since I love sweet desserts. It wasn't a fail, but I just put the wrong amount of sugar I guess. Next time, I hope I won't do it again.

The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved for making these desserts  are :

• Increased the awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth, I need to be more careful with the sugar, not putting too much of it.
• Undertook new challenges, when the mixture is thick at the beginning, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's ready, you have to wait until it's really thicken perfectly, now I know how.
• Planned and initiated activities, I planned to learn this because they are my favourites, so, next time when my mum is not home, I can make it myself and also for my family.
