I've always been wanting to lay my hands on this book. Okashi Treats: Sweet Treates Made with Love by Keiko Ishida. I finally got it and love reading the book! It includes recipe for basic recipes, complete with illustrations for some of the steps. And every recipe comes with tips to note. Love it to bits! So this weekend, I tried my hands on Black Sesame Chiffon Cake. The recipe is slightly lighter in flavor...
More experiments on Chai Tea. This time its Chai Tea Chiffon Cake with Chai Whipped Cream. I adapted the Chai Cream recipe from this site. But instead of preparing all the spices, I infused the cream with the tea leaves from T2. The steps are exactly the same, and the cream is prepared one day before so that it's cold enough to be whipped. Chai Tea Chiffon Cake Ingredients (A) 225g all-purpose flour 1 tsp...
I remember the Chai Cake that I had from The Patissier years ago. With more exposure to Chai Tea Latte recently, I start appreciating the unique taste to Chai even more, and this brought back memory of the cake I had many years ago. It's amazing how flavors can help to bring back wonderful memories, 'cause I still vaguely remember where and under what environment I had the cake. So while I was shopping for...
This meal was whipped up from the leftover herbs I had in my fridge. Rosemary, Thyme and Parsley found in my fridge. All not cheap! So I had to make sure that they were fully utilized and not thrown out! I didn't had any recipe to follow for the pasta. I just randomly put it together with my leftover ingredients, including an interesting tip I picked up from Masterchef. Fusilli with Prawn in Pomodoro Sauce...
I had really tasty Aglio Olio at Nassim Hill Bistro recently, so I decided I want to make my own since the husband is always too lazy to drive out for meals! Recipe was from NoobCook.com, for a noobie like me of course. I omitted chilli since I wasn't a chilli person. Love it! It was simple and tasty for me but the husband complained of not enough meat and ended up adding 2 sunny-sides...
So we were out doing grocery shopping with the little one one day, the husband saw Extra Large Prawns at the Fish section and suddenly craved for Garlic Prawns. But I preferred lamb chops, so we ended up having both for dinner. How to diet in such cases??? I don't know where the husband got his recipe so I'm just putting this together based on memory of what I saw. Butter Garlic Prawns Ingredients 4...
I remember vividly the aromatic and the fragrance of the onion bread that I had 4 years ago at Morton's steakhouse. I've never returned after that, I wonder if they still tastes as fragrant and soft! So because I have craving for it, I searched and found this recipe! It smells great and goes very well with butter! Yum! The only problem I had was my bread was a little tough. I need to make...
The husband and I have been very inspired by Masterchef lately and we have been whipping up meals during the weekends when we can find the time. Here's one of our latest creation where the husband was craving for Honey-Baked Chicken. So I got the recipe off Allrecipe.com and modified a little. Instead of whole chicken, I used chicken thigh. And I replaced Garlic Powder with Chopped Garlic. And on the sides, I included Mushrooms...
Finally alive after 2 years? Haha! I have been baking once a while for the 2 years, just that they're missing from my blog. So what goes up first after 2 years? Lychee Cupcake! I had craving of Lychee Martini for days.. But I did a non-alcohol version so that everyone can have a taste of it. Definitely will try Lychee Martini cake the next time! The cupcake was Buttermilk Cupcake (and replaced Vanilla essence...
