Woohoo! I’m so happy because hubby bought me a new KitchenAid stand mixer! Had been eyeing for one for a long, long time but was really hesitant in getting it as I couldn’t justify the high price tag ‘cos I didn’t bake enough previously. Now with my precious, I can finally make more effort to […]
It’s not the first time I’m making banana cake. But it’s definitely my first time making a healthy sugar free banana cake.π That’s right. No added sugar is the way of life now.π Erythritol – a sugar alternative and low-calorie sweetener You probably think this banana cake is going to be really tasteless and horrible […]
Bread pudding is probably one of the easiest desserts to make at home. And it’s an ideal thing to make when you have leftover stale bread to use up so it doesn’t go to waste. I normally put sandwich bread into the fridge on the day of expiry and then use them a few days […]
I grew up eating egg cake in the 80s when fanciful breads and cakes of today weren’t available then. The egg cake wasn’t anything extraordinary. However, as my late Granny brought me up, we had shared countless food memories together which also included our special moments of dipping egg cake into coffee. The egg cake […]
I absolutely love the tau suan from Zhen Jie Traditional Dessert @ 628 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 and Tiong Bahru Tau Suan @ Tiong Bahru Market. Good consistency. Not overly starchy. Not too sweet. And the beans are never mushy. That’s exactly what makes a good bowl of tau suan for me. π I […]
My husband taught me how to make Apple Crumble previously. It’s his specialty as it’s probably the only sweet treat he has ever mastered to make. π But of course, it’s also a dessert treat that means something special to the both of us (click on the apple crumble link above to read the full […]
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, […]

I really loved traditional plain banana cakes in the 1980s. Confectioneries and bakeries then did not have fanciful breads and cakes like today so I was easily satisfied with just a little treat of a slice of banana cake. Moist and soft with a strong banana taste. The exterior was always brown and oily to […]
Aloha folks! K is coming over for tea so it’s time for a new bake creation, woohoo! I’m inviting summer into my home (even though it’s summer all year round in Singapore anyway, haha!) because I’m going to make Tropical Muffins. With lovely tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, passionfruit and mango. ReallyΒ reminds us of summer […]
Sharing aΒ Healthy Summer Berry Muffins Recipe today that’s packed full of fibre and antioxidants and yet have a lower GI (and sugar content too) than other regular muffins. What makes this recipe special is that these muffins contained no regular flour (all-purpose/plain). Β They were made with pulverised rolled oats which was like homemade oat ‘flour’. […]
The first time I got to know about the dessert snack “εΏε€ͺθ½―” (literally means ‘heart too soft’) was from a local Channel 8 drama probably about 2-3 years back. It’s a pretty apt name for these Stuffed Red Dates which are basically steamed red dates stuffed with glutinous rice cake (or mochi). The middle is […]
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 […]
In my previous Baked Pumpkin Mochi Balls Recipe, I had substituted oil with extra pumpkin puree just to keep the treats lower in fat and calories which obviously wasn’t a great idea. So this time round, I remade the recipe with the addition of sunflower oil which not only gave the mochi bread a better […]
