It’s extremely gratifying to bake on a Friday because it’s the day of the week when I’ll always try to clear out the fridge. I can enjoy a sweet treat while saving money ‘cos I need not spend extra to buy tea time snacks and I can reduce food waste too, lol. 😉 Anyway, this […]
It has been a very sweet week because I’ve posted 4 sweet treat recipes in a row. I had taken a pretty long hiatus from baking as I was trying to eliminate sugars from my diet. However, since taking my current medication, I had been craving for sugary stuffs (all the time) to feed that […]
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 […]
If you’ve bought a pack of fresh cranberries only to realise how awfully sour they are, don’t fret as they won’t go to waste. 🙂 Fresh cranberries make great additions to sweet baked goods as their tartness balances out the sweetness and gives a somewhat refreshing note like this Cranberry Streusel Muffins Recipe. The regular […]
I would only snack on dried cranberries once in a while as the ones we could get here often contain added sugar. So when I saw fresh cranberries being sold at the supermarket for the first time, I decided to buy one pack to try only to discover how horribly sour they were – totally […]
Today is Chinese New Year Eve. To all my readers who celebrate the Lunar New Year, have a wonderful reunion meal with your loved ones and here’s wishing all good health and a very Happy & Prosperous Monkey Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai! 🙂 Every time I think of the apple crumble, it would just […]
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 […]
I had been craving for a banana french toast since having one at Flock Cafe ages ago and decided I should just make it at home. Needless to say, this is now one of my favourite breakfast recipes 🙂 I must admit, this isn’t healthy fare because of the use of butter but to reduce […]
The husband and I decided to stay home today to clear some work before our staycation & food hopping trip next week. And I felt inspired to bake something so we could have something to munch on for tea. With a bunch of bananas and a pack of chocolate chips left in my pantry, I was able […]
After several attempts to create my first ever baked donuts, I decided to venture into making chocolate ones. And thank goodness it only took me 2 bakes to achieve the perfect texture and chocolatey flavour that I like including a sugar glaze that’s not too cloyingly sweet. My husband and I just couldn’t stop eating […]
No eggs and no butter used in muffin baking? Yes, this was what happened when I ran out of both essential ingredients and my hands were just itching to bake up something despite that. I thought these eggless & butterless chocolate muffins would be a flop but they turned out perfectly fine. Probably not as […]
I used to be a die-hard fan of Lao Ban Soya Beancurd 老伴豆花 since an ex-colleague recommended it to me. Read my Lao Ban’s review here. I was so addicted to it, I would travel all the way to Old Airport Road Food Centre, queue for at least half hour just to buy a dozen […]

This Dark Chocolate Covered Corn Flakes with Raisins Recipe is so easy to make, your kids can also lend a hand […]
