Ma Lai Gao (马来糕) is a traditional steamed sponge cake that is soft, fluffy and brown in colour because of the use of brown sugar. It is a common dish found in many dim sum restaurants. That’s why Ma Lai Gao is also known as the Cantonese Sponge Cake. Besides dim sum places, you can […]

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 […]

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 […]

Mango sticky rice is one of my favourite Thai street foods. It’s a dessert that I wouldn’t mind eating every day (or every meal, lol) whenever I’m in Bangkok. It’s just a very simple dessert but somehow the ones I’ve tried here in Singapore cannot be compared with those found in Bangkok because either the […]

I had come across Cat and the Fiddle on Instagram for a long time and I thought I would order their Fickle Feline cheesecake this time just to surprise the husband as he was craving for cheesecake. For those of you who haven’t heard of Cat and the Fiddle, well, it is an online cheesecake […]

Used to patronise the Udders outlet at Thomson Road almost every week when I was working in the vicinity. And now whenever I come to United Square, I would still stop by Udders for an ice cream treat or specifically, Mao Shan Wang Durian ice cream – which is still the best durian ice cream […]

After a satisfying dinner at Din Tai Fung, Hubby suggested that we stopped by Caffe Bene for a bingsu (Korean shaved ice dessert) because it deserved a ‘second chance’, lol. Well, he said that because ever since we had a bingsu at Cafe Insadong (it had ceased operation on 31st December 2016), we totally shunned […]

Got the inspiration from Pinterest when I saw beautiful pics of these roll ups and thought I would try making them as well. Have added this to my list of recipes that turn stale, day-old bread into delicious treats which is definitely a great way to minimise food waste. 😉 I had rolled out each […]

I bought this green tea powder from Meidi-Ya supermarket a long time back, used it once or twice and almost forgot all about it until recently when I had leftover red bean paste to use up and I thought of making something matcha to go with it. Realised the powder had already expired but since […]

An upgraded version of my Cinnamon Sugar Breadsticks because I added ground almonds this time. This is just incredibly quick and easy to make and it’s just another excellent way to use up day old bread. As usual I don’t like to go crazy with butter or sugar in my recipes but if you like […]

The first time I heard of the word dorayaki was when I was a little kid because I often watched Doraemon on TV and the dorayaki was his favourite food. Probably that was also why I loved snacking on them because Doraemon made them look so tasty, lol. Anyway, the dorayaki is basically made up […]

I remembered the first time I tried kheer (term used in North India) or payasam (South India) at an Indian restaurant, I fell in love with the rice pudding that was sweet, creamy and milky with a lovely cardamom flavour and rose water fragrance. It was made with full fat milk and basmati rice and […]

Two months back, I got W this Banana Chocolat Roll from Pâtisserie Glacé for her birthday and we really loved it because it was somewhat different from the usual cakes we had in the past. Recently, I saw the same cake again at Pâtisserie Glacé’s outlet at Square 2 and just couldn’t resist the temptation […]

S’mores is a campfire delight that is popular in the United States. This dessert treat usually comes in the form of a graham cracker sandwich that’s filled with roasted marshmallow and chocolate. It isn’t necessary to specify portion sizes under the ingredients list as this S’mores recipe is incredibly easy to make. It’s really all […]

I bought one big pack of roasted ground peanuts as I wanted to make mee chiam kueh (peanut pancake) only to realise I didn’t have my handy Happycall double pan that I normally would use to make the pancake. I had passed my newly bought pan to my mum sometime back and just totally forgot […]
