The term Kueh/Kuih is referred to traditional desserts and savory snacks and is widely used in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Coconut has been gaining a lot of popularity with food…

October 13, 2015

Dessert is always okay from Mondays--->Sundays, 12 pm--->to 12 am. Pavlova is basically a meringue cake that has a delicate, crisp crust and it is typically topped with whipped cream and fruits. I like to…

Spanish Caramel Flan

April 24, 2015

Throughout my childhood, caramel pudding is something that I relate to my paternal family. My late aunt used to make really delicious caramel custard and I marveled at how delicious yet simple it was. Even when I was in my early teens, caramel custard was something that I could confidently make as her recipe only uses four ingredients. Milk, eggs,…

Easy Decadent Ambrosia Those words above sum up the recipe I would be sharing today. I can't believe it's a brand new week again. I believe that there is some malfunction in the rotation of the earth. Someone fix that, please. Time is flying away too quickly.

Can you believe that I have spent two years of my life thinking of this cake?? Yes, I have been wanting to bake a sticky date cake with butterscotch sauce for a couple of years now, and that is not even an exaggeration because I might have under calculated the number of years. It could have been 3 or even 4 years…
