HOW BAKING WORKS

I have decided to come up with a section / posting which I named ,”How Baking Works”. My intention is simply to share the little knowledge that I have gained over the years through training, work experience; reading and sharing with fellow bakers and pastry chefs. If for any reason should my sharing contains inaccuracy, it is not intentional. I don’t mean to teach the world but just to share. So I sincerely hope that it is taken in the right perspective and that it can be of some use to those who need it.


I also wish to dedicate this sharing to all my fellow bakers and pastry chefs, my trainers, my fellow ex colleagues, students and my friends.

Thanks for your time.

I will post this section on "HOW BAKING WORKS" page.

Official Launching of Chef Amer's Chocolate Book

My hubby and I were very honoured at being invited to attend the official lunching of Chef Amer's 'Terokai Rahsia Choklat Bersama Chef Amer' on the 22nd May at Prince Hotel. It was launched by the YGBhg Puan Sri Noor Ainee (isteri pada TPM).

It was indeed a grand event and deserving of the author.... none other than our friend , Chef Amer. He also did a demo in his usual candid way, charming the crowd with his jokes as always. His wife, Puan Rokiah can only shake her head in amusement , observing her husband's antics on stage. On a serious note, he also mentioned his dream of opening a full-pledged academy. Our prayers are with you on that dream. InsyaALLAH.... he also hinted at some of the corporate heads at the function for possibe funding.... thats Amer....never letting go of opportunity.

More importantly, Amer has proven one thing from which all of us can learn from... THAT IS....  anak orang melayu BOLEH ceburi dunia orang asing and more importantly, mastered the skills and bring it back home and give it back to the people.... kata Malaysia boleh kan.... so........???

We were also thrilled and proud at being placed together with Amer's family. Dapatlah sikit cerita mengenai telatah Amer masa kechil dulu.... dan masa kini... tapi cerita itu terpaksa Ainee simpan lah .....

Once again , heartiest congratulations, my friend... You are an inspiration to us all..... Teruskan perjuangan kamu.... May Allah be with you always.

                Instructor’s Profile


Beliau mula terbabit dalam bidang bakeri sejak tahun 2001 dengan membuat kek lapis.

Bermula dari kosong, pengetahuannya bertambah melalui kursus-kursus membuat kek, roti dan hiasan kek. Bagaimanapun pengalaman menimba pengetahuan berkenaan kek lapis agak unik kerana beliau mengalami kegagalan demi kegagalan hingga 10 kali hanya untuk membuat kek lapis biasa dan mengambil masa 3 tahun sebelum Berjaya menulis buku elektronik berkaitan Kek Lapis Sarawak.

Setelah beliau Berjaya mendapatkan teknik yang betul selepas menghadiri kelas demonstrasi membuat kek lapis rempah, beliau terus mengambil tempahan kek lapis bagi musim perayaan. Daripada situ beliau mula berminat dengan pembuatan kek gulung lapis Sarawak yang begitu unik dan halus berseni.

Bagaimanapun disebabkan tiada sesiapa yang boleh mengajar pembuatan kek ini di tempat tinggalnya, maka beliau mengambil masa lebih kurang 3 tahun untuk mendalami seni pembuatan kek gulung lapis Sarawak. Alhamdulillah, usaha selama itu Berjaya memberikan beliau ilham dan teknik bagi memudahkan pembuatan kek gulung lapis Sarawak.
