@Velvel Ooh… have you made avocado smoothies before? I had some in Kuching (my mum loves avocados but they are soooooo very expensive in Malaysia and the quality is not guaranteed) and they were pretty good!
@Amiran Thanks very much! Looking forward to seeing how you get on with making the soufflé pancakes!! 
@OmerAli Just imagine lying down on a huge soufflé pancake… so fluffy and warm… and the smell of freshly made pancakes will soothe you into a deep sleep. 
@ShipraMitra Nice one!! I did find that adding extra ingredients made my pancakes more dense too! I know nothing about bread making but maybe you’ll need to compensate for the denseness by waiting for the dough to expand more or use more raising agents?
I know that @StephenAbraham makes bread too and was experimenting with bread making last year! And I think @Shirley bakes bread too!
By the way, do write and share your experience with bread making! It’ll be interesting to see the different types that you make etc!
@AdrianLunsong Come back to Malaysia and make some for OmerAli and me. 
I did try to make a soufflé waffle one time… (picture below)… it’s airy, possibly too airy… there wasn’t the satisfying chew and bite, but a little bit of batter went a long way. 
Did someone say bread, @AdrianLunsong ?
I just made this bread earlier today; however, this picture isn’t from today. I usually make two loaves of this bread every two to three weeks. Between my family and giving a bit away to others, I usually end up with a slice or two each time. You have to use yeast for this so that the bread rises! I’ll share a deeper experience with this in the near future!
You really look like a pro on this photo, @AdrianLunsong . 
Was it your first time making such pancakes as part of the #StateChallenge quiz?
I see you have quite many things you want to try out. Fingers crossed that everything will be quite delicious. 
My heart is simply melting while I look at @KlaudiyaG 's chocolate fondant. 
If you decide do make it, be sure to share both some photos with us and a piece of it, he-he-he.
@Velvel , your avocado sandwich looks sooo delicious. I’ve never tried making such a sandwich. Honestly, I am not quite experienced with avocados and don’t know how to prepare them so they get tasty.
Hei @AdrianLunsong ,
I feel you! Sometimes when I cooked a big batch when I host a dinner, I already feel full from cooking so much and I ended up not eating much during the dinner.
For sambal, the easiest in my opinion is sambal matah, you can find it too in @Lusianaa 's post. It only requires chopping some ingredients (a lot of shallots) and heating up coconut oil, super easy and a must try! I can eat a whole bowl of this sambal and smell like “bawang” the whole day 
, but its worth it!
@AdrianLunsong you are right. The next batch I kept overnight for fermenting and it was fluffier.
I would love to have a bread thread.
this coroune bread is stuffed with pesto
the enriched buns were dinner rolls
these have chicken filling
I usually follow internet recipes from allrecipes or king arthur’s with a little twist of my own
I have seen that tangzhong milk breads are the fluffiest.
100 pct whole wheat honey bread are the sweetest
The easiest bread to bake is focaccia,
and the hardest is sourdough boule.
The most fun is making donuts
I haven’t made avocado smoothies by myself yet @AdrianLunsong
This was my first time buying avocados and consumed them all by myself with the toast version.
Good idea! I will consider to make avocado into beverage, just like smoothies or mixing it with coffee
In Indonesia, 1 kg of avocado will cost for about USD 2. When there is a discount, it will cost for about USD 1.5. How about the price in Kuching?
You guys are a good baker @StephenAbraham @Shirley !!
I’m drooling by only looking at your bread creation 
Thank you @TsekoV
It’s a very simple recipe. It’s also easy to slice avocado because it’s not that hard, but still you have to be careful when cutting it.
Just spread a little butter onto the bread (either toasted or not), spread the avocado that has been “smashed”, then add the fried egg (usually sunny side up), chili flakes if you like spicy, olive oil, sliced tomato, and anything that you like for the toast
They look lovely @StephenAbraham ! I wish I have a waffle maker thingy though as waffles are the next best thing after pancakes!
Wow! @Shirley they look very impressive… like professionally made! Hmm… I wish I have bread maker too! As in the machine that can knead the dough well.
@ShipraMitra You breads look lovely!! So many different styles too!! Wow!! I usually go on YouTube to see how things are made because the video format is much easier for me to digest and understand. I have two channels that I subscribed to that have tons of nice recipes: Buttermilk Pantry and Cooking Tree.
@TsekoV the pancakes weren’t part of the #StateChallenge quiz! 
I am just rubbish at time keeping and I thought I had enough time to finish making my pancakes before the quiz started.
Thanks @AngieYC I will definitely try to make sambal matah. I sometimes make my own sambals, as in I don’t follow any recipes but just mash ingredients up together. They turned out really nice too and I usually have enough to last for weeks! I am really bad at estimating quantities and I usually end up with more food than I can eat and rather than save it for the following day, I just stuff my face full!
@Velvel I can’t work out in my head whether your avocado price is expensive or not (I think it is and is similar to Malaysia’s prices too).
Whilst in Malaysia (mostly Kuching where goods are usually more expensive than in West Malaysia because of extra transportation costs), I would take photos of items that I felt was crazily expensive.
In this shop, a single avocado (from Mexico! @LightRich ) is RM7.50 (USD1.86).
In this shop, these Australian avocados (hey @PaulPavlinovich , @AdamGT ) costs RM13.80 (USD3.41) for two.
In this new avocado themed cafe, this big bowl of salad topped with half (?) an avocado costs RM29.90 (USD7.40).
This avocado milk drink though takes the prize for the most expensive (non-alcoholic) drink that I’ve seen so far: RM49.90 (USD12.34) for just 828 ml of drink!
For reference, it’s about RM18 for a large mocha frappucino at Starbucks (this is also expensive for me) whilst I can get a cheap simple handmade (not using the fancy machines) coffee for maybe RM2 from a local cafe. A bowl of noodles (snack size) is about RM4-5. Basically, you can have a decent lunch (food and drink) for under RM10 at a local cafe.
I just checked here @AdrianLunsong and online avocado prices vary in price from around $2.15 USD each but can be cheaper if bought in pre-packed quantities.
Thanks @Velvel and @AdrianLunsong !!!
I don’t actually use a bread maker, or actually I don’t know what you mean exactly. Because when I think of a bread maker, it is one of those where you just put all of the ingredients in there with instant yeast and then come back a few hours later and you have a loaf. I actually have one at home, but I don’t like it. I do use a KitchenAid stand mixer to prep the dough so it takes out most of the kneading. For the cheesy bread, I still have to fill it with cheese, cut it up and then braid it as well. The other bread I commonly make is brioche and the stand mixer will help me knead but it doesn’t help me actually make the loaf. You have to roll it out manually so that it is fluffy. Did either of you guys try the chocolate bread at Cheesecake Factory in the US? That is the other bread that is really good and again, super easy with a stand mixer. Probably more useful to invest in a stand mixer vs. a bread maker. The stand mixer makes cookies super super easy as well. I will make cookies sometimes if I have a craving and it’ll be ready to eat within an hour.
I do make croissants though and that I do everything by hand. Unlike the brioche and cheesy bread, it takes about 2 days to make, so I don’t make it as often as I used to now. Hrmmmmmm maybe I should make that this weekend…
That is cheaper than we can buy Australian avocado @AdrianLunsong although I did see a box (24) of them on sale for $5 at our local fruit shop recently.
I don’t eat the things, but the rest of my family love them.
Paul
Since I’ve been to Malaysia before, so I’m quite familiar with RM and the price there @AdrianLunsong
Well, I could say that the avocado price in Kuching is expensive, just like the single avocado that isn’t 1 kg!
Thanks for sharing the photos. It feels like a short virtual tour to the groceries in Kuching 
Btw, what kind of transportation that we could ride to reach KL from Kuching?
Today I buy another 1 kg of avocados! Let see what I will make beside the toast. If I make avocado coffee this weekend, I’ll let you know
I’ve been to The Cheesecake Factory in SF before @Shirley
Did you mean this bread ?
Talking about this place, I miss their Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake . Tastes so much good with the soft texture
Although I’m not into baking yet, but based on your explanation, I agree with you to invest in stand mixer as it could make variant of bread and cookie.
Can you make macarons? 
Hey @AdrianLunsong ,
This weekend I tried making the soufflé pancakes, and it was an epic fail. I think that my pan was too hot, and it burned them on the outside, but the middle part was like under cooked, and the flipping was super hard to do. It was a journey, not going to lie. I think that what you did with the rings was brilliant, so I’m going to buy some and give it ago once again because I’m not giving up. Nonetheless, they were delicious, very thin but delicious. I have a picture, but they look terrible so I’m still debating if I want to share it. hahaha Finally, I found some courage within me, so here’s the photo. Perhaps you can give me some pointers.
@AdrianLunsong you definitely need the piping kit to create the beautiful shape of the churros hahaha For frying, my tips are:
use medium heat and fry in small batches without crowding 
Wow! Avocado is pretty expensive everywhere. I´m no longer complain about its price in Mexico @AdrianLunsong @Velvel @PaulPavlinovich @AdamGT
Just made a quick reserch in 3 supermarkets near home and 1kg costs US$ 2.20 average.
I´ll try Adrian´s souffle pancakes recipe next weekend. So will keep you informed about that!
Wow @LightRich US$ 2.20 per kg! That’s heaps cheaper than here. Do people in Mexico eat a lot of them or is that a dumb question to ask?
No question is a dumb question @AdamGT
Mexico is a main avocado producer for US, as @LaloPadilla explains in this super funny post that you should not miss. For us, Mexicans, it is essential to accompany our food or salads, and obviously to add it in some good flank steak tacos to give just a few examples.
Anyway the price could increase to US$3.00 per kg at some seasons and that is super expensive for us. Food is usually not expensive in Mexico,
