When it comes to seafood, prawns is my all time favorite and fish was my second favorite. We all know that fish are good and mon mari loves fish more than what I do.

1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon corn flour ( mix with 3 tablespoons water)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Layer Biscuits Cheesecake

Bonsoir a tous,

Time flies so fast. It's July now and summer holiday is here again. We will be taking a summer vacation soon and it's time to take a break, rest and relax at least for few weeks. And yes, perhaps there are also times to take a rest from blogging...

Alors, few days ago I've made this Layer Biscuits Cheesecake for third time now. Somewhere I think the method of this layer cheesecake quite similar as Tiramisu, instead of using ladyfinger biscuits to dip with coffee, this recipe use butter biscuits to dip with milk. The recipe is very simple and easy to prepare. It may look messy and imperfect when slicing but the taste I'm sure will not be disappointed!

LAYER BISCUITS CHEESECAKE

Ingredients:-

2 packet butter biscuit or any kind of biscuit flavour
400gm cream cheese
1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup cereal or shredded cheese for topping

METHOD:-

- Beat cream cheese and condensed milk untill smooth.
- Dip the biscuits into warm milk for a second and arrange in the cake pan.
- Spread the biscuits with the cream cheese and drizzle with cereal all over the cheese layer.
- Repeat the layering process again until finish.
- Cover with wrapping and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours.

Enjoy and bonnes vacances a tous!
