Ondeh ondeh is one of my all-time favourite Nyonya desserts. It’s actually a boiled glutinous rice ball filled with molten gula melaka (coconut palm sugar) and coated with crunchy grated coconut. The hero of the dessert has got to be the gula melaka so buy the best type you can find. Geylang Serai market is […]
This sweet treat recipe is inspired by the Banana Fritters with Chocolate & Cheese that’s sold at the pasar malam here in Singapore. The only difference is that there’s no deep frying involved for this recipe as I just want to keep this a little lighter and healthier which is also a great way to […]
Happy Boxing Day! After a weekend of festive feasting, it’s time to detox the system with a healthy yogurt parfait recipe like this which is made up of layers of rolled oats, fruits and yogurt with various toppings. You can basically use any ingredients you like. Healthy ones would of course include berries, dried fruits, […]
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. ๐ I had rolled out each […]

This recipe book is a collection of 42 recipes for delectable cookies and treats that are contributed by selected top food & lifestyle bloggers and instagrammers from Singapore and the region. […]
I must be the first person to come up with such an unusual muffin flavour, haha. When I told the husband that I was making Goji Berries, Corn and Spinach Muffins, he initially expected the muffins to be savoury but was pleasantly surprised to find out that they were actually sweet dessert muffins. It was […]
Fridays and Saturdays are fridge-clearing days which is never a bad thing. Since I had almost half a loaf of sandwich bread left, I decided to make bread pudding which is like one of the easiest desserts to make because all we need are some kitchen staples like butter, milk, eggs and sugar. Nothing complicated. […]
Having a girlie catch up with K so I made Pear and Peach Muffins for tea. For those of you who are interested to add (more) fruits into your bakes, check these recipes out: Apple Pear Bread Pudding Muffins Blueberry and Guava Muffins Cranberry Streusel Muffins I like to use fresh fruits instead of those […]
Recently I bought a bunch of bananas from the supermarket (some new brand that I hadn’t tried before) and although they had sat on my counter top for days and had turned completely yellow on the outside, the flesh inside was still somewhat dry and firm. If I had a dehydrator, I could probably turn […]
I remembered having snow fungus soup at Grandma’s house just a few weeks before she passed away in February. My husband had tried it for the first time and I was surprised he actually had several helpings as he didn’t seem interested in Chinese dessert soups previously. I said I would make the same dessert […]
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. ๐ Anyway, this […]
Wanted to name these ‘banana fritters’ initially but didn’t want to mix them up with goreng pisang because these were more like the Malaysian-style Kuih Kodok which literally means ‘toad cake’ because of their uneven surface. And I think ‘donut’ is a more apt name anyway because its texture is more like the regular fried […]
Having so much fun baking muffins with different fruits lately. At first I just wanted to make blueberry muffins but since I had some guavas sitting in the fridge, I thought it would be a good idea to add them in just to boost the nutrient level of my sweet bakes. Who says desserts can’t […]
Time for whole wheat baking again! I’ve been doing it a lot recently because I’ve a huge bag of whole wheat flour to use up and I really don’t want to waste it. My first time making whole wheat scones. (If you don’t have or don’t like whole wheat flour, then replace entirely with all-purpose […]
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 […]
