Been seeing a lot of baked mochi cakes (烤年糕) on TikTok lately. They come in all kinds of flavours and fillings like taro, cheese, brown sugar, cranberry, black sesame, etc. I’m a big mochi fan so thought I would also try making a Baked Chocolate Mochi Cake. If you have leftover glutinous rice flour after […]
I’m absolutely excited to be baking again! Making a storm in the kitchen and messing things up is always so enjoyable, haha. So what do we have in store today? Nutella Banana Muffins! Nutella is my all-time favourite brand for chocolate-hazelnut spread since I was a kid. Goes so well with sandwich bread, croissants, biscuits, […]
TGIF finally. I made Oreo Brownies today! Seriously, I can’t even remember when was the last time I ever made brownies, haha. Years probably. Well, I was recently invited by a fellow IGer friend to join this community on Instagram and they have this weekly themed posting for homemade food and bakes whereby everybody in […]
This is the third time I am reviewing Rive Gauche because it’s really one of the few patisseries in Singapore that I go to frequently for my sugar fix. Read my previous review here. This time round, the husband brought home these two delightful treats to cheer me up as I was feeling a little […]
The moment I set my eyes on the Napoleon a few years ago, Rive Gauche (pronounced as ‘Reeve Go-sshh’ in French) has become my go-to patisserie for this French classic mille-feuille pastry. It has never failed me to date whenever I need that occasional sweet treat to reward myself. French puff pastry with soft, moist […]
It’s a donut frenzy! In order to come up with a moist, cake-like texture baked doughnut, I made 3 batches before I nailed it right. And the final batch of donuts turned out so good that the first 2 batches are now neglected 🙁 But it’s not a bad thing after all. Cooking and baking […]
If you could have the best of both worlds, what would it be? How about a croissant-cum-doughnut? Or a Crodo? This unique pastry first came to light in the US this year and is famously known as the ‘Cronut’ whose name has been trademarked by its original creator, Dominique Ansel Bakery, both in the US and worldwide. In […]
My colleague recommended me Chef Icon after she had her most amazing chocolate cake from there for her birthday. When I first visited the website, it wasn’t really that eye-catchy and I was doubting if it was worth an order. After reading everything on its Avina.Neutro Baking style (no animal rennet, no animal gelatin, no […]
My hubby surprised me with a dinner treat at Au Petit Salut to celebrate our 7th year of knowing each other. Nestled in greenery along Harding Road at Dempsey, this house-like restaurant exudes a quiet charm that is a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Make your way down the […]
I am in love. Head over heels in love. When I took my first bite of a chocolate fudge cake years ago, I fell in love with Awfully Chocolate. It must be the best chocolate cake ever. Chocolate Banana ($28.20 for 6″, $56.40 for 8″) Two thick layers of fresh bananas between layers of moist […]
