Project Bleeding Heart started off innocently enough – my girlfriend found a heart shaped sugar piece on top of a cookie during Hari Raya and (forcibly) inserted it into my mouth, saying that she has metaphorically given her heart to me. Thus, I was coerced to reciprocate in kind and she insisted on me personally making an edible heart for her during our second monthsary.
I guess she didn’t know how far I would go. Be careful what you wish for…you just might get it. 😉
You will need:
Field Song Egg Pudding Powder
Arnott’s Tim Tam Love Potions – Chocolate Mud
“It’s love at first bite”
Arnott’s Tim Tam Crush – Mocha Hazelnut
“It’s one Crush that’s sure to end in love…”
Nestle Reduced Fat Cream
Nestle Milo Grab N Go can
Win Vokda Ice Purple XS
Heart shaped molds
Optional:
Razor blade
A few drops of blood from your veins
The first challenge was getting the heart shaped mold. It was much more difficult than I thought. Heart shaped molds should be everywhere, right? It’s just about the most common design! I thought it would be everywhere. Unfortunately, actually finding a heart shaped mold took us to three (3) different places, to no avail. We found molds in the shape of stars, triangles, circles, and even weird oblique designs…but no hearts.
The closest we got was this HUGE heart shaped non-stick baking pan…a bit of an overkill for this project. Plus, I don’t think I would be able to bleed enough to fill the pan. I would probably pass out from blood loss or something before the colossal pan filled up.
We finally managed to get two (admittedly) cheesy Barbie knockoffs molds from a Chinese specialty import outlet (the retail industry prefers the technical term “Cina Mari shop”). It’s made of melamine infused plastic and has a Barbie look-alike imprint, but it was heart shaped and for all intents and purposes, it was sufficient for the single-use, disposable nature of the project.
The Arnott’s Tim Tams were procured in New Zealand. My sister just came back and brought back a box of the stuff. I went for the two romance-themed special edition Tim Tams for the project. Tim Tam Love Potions and Tim Tam Crush (as in infatuation, not demolish) are limited edition Tim Tams that I decided to use as a garnish for the pudding.
The directions for making the egg pudding were pretty straightforward – the contents of the packet is to be mixed into 500 ml of boiling water and stirred for an unspecified time. I just poured in a little more than a small 500 ml mineral water bottle (to compensate for evaporation) into a saucepan and added in the pudding mixture when it started boiling. The mixture was stirred for about a minute or so before I turned off the heat.
Next, comes the interesting part. I took a razor blade and made a small incision on my left hand at a particularly juicy vein and allowed the blood to drip into the Nestle Reduced Fat Cream – the topping for the pudding. This is of course, rather unorthodox (not to mention unsanitary for consumers who are not already exchanging bodily fluids with you ;)) so it’s a highly optional step.
I also took the liberty of scooping up more blood from the gash and managed to harvest about half a tablespoon of the red stuff in total.
The blood is mixed into the cream by folding it with a spoon before adding a bit of Milo Grab N Go (a RTD – Ready To Drink malt concoction) for flavoring. The cream will acquire a tinge of pink before turning a chocolate hue. The cream topping is set aside…
…while the pudding mixture is poured into the heart shaped molds and left at room temperature for 15 minutes. Field Song Egg Pudding Powder sets extremely rapidly. It started solidifying after just a minute in the mold. It still requires refrigeration though, so we transferred it to the fridge and left it in there for 30 minutes.
The egg pudding turned out to be a perfect heart shape! =D It came out easily from the mold due to the high density of the pudding. It just plopped down when the mold was upended. I added several dollops of the patented Bleeding Heart Topping (TM) on top and garnished it with Arnott’s Tim Tams.
This is Project Bleeding Heart – made with blood, sweat and (manly) tears. 😉
!!!
all i could say is,
everyone has their own way of showing lurve to to their beloved ones huh
Hahahah exchanging bodily fluids…
suprisingly enough it is tradition in some places, for men to dip walnuts into their semen, before coating the entire thing with chocolate and feeding it to their beloved as a sure-fast way to keep her faithful.
Out of curiosity…what did you really use for the blood?
gosh!
This is typical sixthseal dot com thingy. Doing extraordinary thing that normal man will not do.
bit curious to know if she ate it? heh.
A lil gross man. I don’t know, but the idea of food and blood just dont click for me.
this is so “sixthseal.com”.
O_O thank god its not made for me 😛
holy shit huai bin,
are u nuts?are u sure that ur blood is not infected with HIV from your drug abuse days?
oh God, seriously i would have freak out if my bf did that for me! Lol. Thank God, the pudding was not made for me! Hahaha! Anyway, happy monsary! See you two next week! =D
Holy schmoly.
1. Does the gf know of the TOTAL contents of this pudding?
2. She might turn out to be like Raja Bersiong. Heheh, learnt it from school days; the king who loved blood in his food.
~keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love!~
should turn on this song when you make this pudding.
HB, this is waaaayyy too much and yuccksss..
Don’t tell me your gf gonna soak her used sanitary pad and make you a Shirley Temple!
Phewww!!
i want to faint liao~ (pengsan)
Dude, I gotta give it to you, my wacky cooking shows are nothing compared to your project. Classic Sixthseal!
HB, It look more like voodoo what you done. In the San Francisco library book on witchcraft tell of comsuming blood of someone is to control that person.
But anyway I like that cookware store. It it in KL? If it is may I have the address so my friends and I could order special cookware from them and other supply.
Man Dude,
You cooking again? Now you’re into magic. I heard of tales of it in having that person in your power by drinking his or her blood. No way for me.
GROSSSSSSSS
Hb,
Is it metaphorically or medaphycis? Sixthseal power rise up again.
I WANT YOUR LOVE BY DAY
I WANT YOUR LOVE BY NIGHT
YOU CAN’NT RUN AWAY
YOU CAN’NT RESIST OR
PUT UP A FIGHT
I HAVE YOU NOW FOR THE REST
OF YOUR LIFE.
This is from book of spells in the occults.
HB, From your old entries you like to read Stephen King. I can see now why you so Goth at time. I like Pet Cemetery the movie.
This entry subject photos show somethings I like very much. In San Francisco do not have many things from Southeast Asia. That cookwares store seem so interesting and I would like the name and address of it please.
No way in cooking bleeding heart pudding just normal food. You are good in advertising business.
We are into Gothic now…maybe some S&M 🙂 When we will see some goat sacrifice?
Hey this is some Gothic entry or what. Not sure why but I have to ask where is the place you went for those cookwares? My friends like to contact the store regarding other cookwares. Guess they just like to see cookwares in this entry funny.
I am very sure since I take tests every 3 months. I’m very careful that way. 🙂
Yeah, she ate it. 🙂
She was there the entire time we were doing it. She’s not a big fan of self-inflicted injuries so she licked my wound after I cut myself – claims saliva is a good disinfectant. *shrugs*
I will drink her blood too, since we’ve both been tested. I don’t have hangups about bodily fluids. Heh!
Reply all the comments later. Low batt.
I know love hurt at time but this is too much!
Dude, I know love hurt at time but this is too much.
OHHhh BALAD!
How bizzare.
Whatever tickles your pickle, personally blood and food…yesh.
HB didnt u win an award for an HIV testing post u did?
What is that pudding stuff it looks so rank like plastic or jelly.
extra ingredient that made it taste better eh? hehe
I wonder how it taste like? Just curious. Did she really eat it?!!
OMG! pls stop it! it ain’t cool! don’t you just hate those scars..and think of the pain it causes the one who loves you
Love moves you to do things to the extreme sometimes. 😉
If my girlfriend try that on me, I just say on diet. She like Goth thing mostly music thank goodness for that.
Yeah Pet Semetary made in 1989. It still good film to see. No way to see blood cake. I am no vampire.
Hey nice one!
I LOVE blood pudding!
Just the other day my sushi chef made me a spicy tuna roll with blood dripping from a major sashimi gash. Never tasted so good!
Haha! Love you sarcastic wit, my friend.
Reply all the comments tomorrow. Will be posting regular posts starting tomorrow 10 am. Lots of posts in queue. Cheers all. I’m in KL now so net access is VERY limited. Can someone borrow me a 3G modem for a week? :p
ur one fucking sicko
and haha, i got a 3G modem, standing by
where did u make the piercing on ur arms?
annant: …a little bit edgy, and slightly controversial, that’s sixthseal.com! =D
Zee bo Bee: Interesting! Which culture does that. I shall google it.
Seriously, that was my blood. I even have a video but I can’t post it coz I did a similar thing about 2 months ago and my account was suspended. They do not like self-mutilation. Against their TOC.
janel: Nice?
Choonie: Over here at sixthseal.com, we BOLDLY go where no man has ever gone before. 😉
Irene: Yeah she did. Finished the thing. 🙂
Jordan: Yeah, it has to be with someone intimate. I wouldn’t eat someone else’s blood unless it’s my partner’s.
kelvinsse: Cheers mate! 🙂
xin: I wouldn’t do that to anyone else. This is a very personal and private thing to be doing. 🙂
danny: Confirmed. Just passed another blood test to get medical insurance (health coverage). 🙂
You have to remember that I was a great advocate of safe drug use back then and even won an award for it. No sharing of needles, single needle, single use (even for yourself). 🙂
chefmel: See ya then! 🙂
It’ll be great. Heh!
I’m seriously out of shape though…
I mean seriously…
whimsicaljottings: Yeah, she was with me all along when I made the pudding. Tried to stop me, but I was adamant about doing it. 😉
Dan: I don’t have that song? Which band or artist sang that?
coki: I wouldn’t mind if she did. I’m not particular about sharing bodily fluids with my loved one. 🙂
vincent: Haha!
e: Cheers my mate. It means a lot, coming from you. 🙂
Amy: Eh, it’s not voodoo, just something I did to make her feel happy.
The cookware shop is a low end hypermarket, it’s nothing special. You’ll get better choices even in Ikea.
Vennie: I’m not into magic. I don’t believe in magic or miracles. 🙂
mIKE: Here at sixthseal.com, we ALWAYS aim to please. 😉
Eve: I prefer the term metaphysics. 😉
Metaphorically means something else entirely.
Erica: Yeah, I still read his books. Latest ones Blaze, under Richard Bachman and Duma Key. I’ve been reading other books too though – The Kite Runner is one I’m engrossed in right now.
It’s just a normal shop – a supermarket of sorts. Seriously, they don’t have much stuff there.
Paul: Goat sacrifice? Perhaps if the clock turns back 14 years and I become 13 again. 😉
Michale (Mike): It’s a small shop in the middle of nowhere. There are better places for these things. I’ll find out.
Andy: Eh, physical pain always hurts less than psychological pain. 🙂
KY: Tastes like chicken!
TOM: Yeah, has to be the right person, right time. 🙂
Yeah, I did. The award was in 2004 or 2005.
It tastes pretty good actually, but China (or was it Taiwan) product.
Darren: Nope, just makes it more special. 🙂
eiling: Yeah, she ate it. She wanted me to do it, though not to this extent. 😉
It doesn’t taste like blood at all coz of the Milo and cream overpowering the taste of iron.
Lb: Yeah, just once in a while, I guess. Thanks for the concern. 🙂
Eve: Guess that describes me in a nutshell. Extreme. 😉
Steve: I’m not into goth, just have a high tolerance for pain and no regards to self-mutilation. 🙂
Limo: Haha! I love your comment, mate. 🙂
eugene: Okay, on. Get it from you when I go to KL this weekend. :p
tze: It was done in KL. It’s a flesh stapling procedure, kinda like subdermal implants since the bar is beneath the skin.
No wonder u r so famous…
Juice: Hmm…I think it’s coz I tend to lean towards the extreme. Some people enjoy shows like Jackass and Camp Kill Yourself. 😉
ew, so unhygenic.
Christine: Heh! We were already sharing other bodily fluids. 😉
Hi..
may i know which shop u went to buy the mold??
cox i m looking for 1 oso..
pls email the address, can??
thanks..
This is very sick. Nothing better to do.
Vicky: It was somewhere in Sibu, I can’t remember which one anymore. 🙂
AL: Haha! Well, if “nothing to do” means being unadventurous and conforming to the norms of society and being forced to say the standard party line, then YES (a very resounding yes), I have “nothing better to do”. 😉
