I think the best thing that happened to me this weekend was my mother eating at least 15 of these Mini Taco Cups. Whenever my mother praises my food, I'm one proud girl, subconsciously.
You know you are a food blogger when the files in your hard disk looks something like this.
and you have to take 101 pictures of that damn…
Sighs! The blog was down for a good 12 hours. Hostgator said it was "due to an undocumented bug in firmware utilized in our vendor’s hardware." Okkay, whatever that meant. That must have been one hell of a bug because it brought down about 100,000 websites including mine. I was a wreck when that happened. I was moping around, missing…
You know at times, when you have typed out an email or a blog post, despite after checking at least 129 times, you would still end up misspelling certain words even though you know the right spelling? We all make spelling mistakes from time to time, an extra apostrophe or a missing "o" in the word is okay I guess…
It's weekend y'all and I am very happpppy! No I am not going out of Singapore. It is surprising to see that every weekend, my Facebook news feed is full of people going out of Singapore for a short vacation such as a trip to Kuala Lumpur or Indonesia just to eat or shop around, and they would post crazy number…
Yes, I am a fan of adding fruits to my bakes especially when it comes to cakes and that explains this Apple Crumb Cake. Perhaps it could also be an unconscious effort to try and mask that guilt of eating cakes.
So here is the theory, fruits are healthy right? Fruits in cakes, would make the cake healthier. So it is absolutely…
I am not a huge fan of chocolate and chocolate based bakes. I mean I can still eat it in small portions but I am not crazy about it. I would choose a strawberry Charlotte over a chocolate mud cake anytime.I would choose fruit tarts over chocolate tarts. And yes, I would definitely go with strawberry or vanilla ice cream…
I have a long lists of books that I wanna buy. I'm obsessed with books. Literally. My good friend, Tm got me some books and obviously I got to choose them. I went for these. 3 books off the list, only about a hundred left :D
I have been wanting Jamie's 30 minute meals and after purchasing this, he released 15…
I gave myself a break this week. I needed it. Started to feel a little under the weather. I needed to de-stress a bit today and what can be better than baking for leisure? I don't really eat cakes much but I love the process of making it. Totally therapeutic. I had a couple of lemons in the fridge and…
I bought Pierre Herme's book and I am totally in love with that guy. Olive oil in macarons, black pepper in desserts and there is his "Emotion Fragola", a dessert made with spaghetti cooked in strawberry juice. This guy is a genius! He is nicknamed the "Picasso of cakes" and I think the nickname is befitting indeed. :)
He started at…
Had an order for fruit tarts last week. I made extra Creme Anglaise/Pastry cream coz I was planning to make these little baskets. E pastry cream is really gorgeous. Thick yet light on the palate. This is Dorie's recipe which I believe was adapted from Pierre Herme. It yields more than 700g of pastry cream so you might want to…
