Gubahan Pulut Kuning Lapis Serunding (Decorated Glutinous Rice)

 I made this yesterday as an engagement tray gift for my hubby's relative. I didn't have much experience in vegetable craft.... but did it trial & error in the past helping my chef brother decorating dishes for wedding presentation. This time I took a braver step to do a more challenging decorated glutinous rice for engagement tray.... I call it challenging because it will attract so many eyes on it during the occassion...... I did some homework by searching for photo samples on websites and my favourite reference is from K1@Citarasawan. Thanks K1 for the inspiration.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

Kali ni Along mencuba nasib buat hiasan untuk hantaran pertunangan saudara hubby kelmarin. Tangan ni memang keras dan selalu nya bab2 mengukir atau menggubah ni bakat nya lebih terserlah dalam diri Emak,  my younger sister Nani and my chef brother Ayed. Apa pun kalau tak praktis akan bertambah keras ler tangan ni kan, so waktu tengah ada semangat sedikit ni dan Along pun dah janji dengan sedara maka terhasil lah juga bagi julong kali nya setalam ukiran hantaran.... alhamdulillah lega pula rasa nya. Memula tu tak confident, so Along tanya pendapat kat FB.... Terima-kasih buat kawan2 FB yang memberi galakan dan hadiah2 bintang yang tidak di sangka.....hehe. Yang best nya K1 pun kata pass, siap kasi bintang lagi. Along banyak cari ilham dari blog K1@Citarasawan yg memang professional bab2 menggubah pulut kuning.
