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 […]
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 […]
I would like to wish all my Muslim readers, Selamat Hari Raya! Hope you all have a wonderful day ahead with lots of good food, good company and good times. π I’m in a holiday mood today and I just want to make something sweet for a treat. π This is somewhat similar to a […]
I would say this is an improved version of my earlier Baked Pumpkin Mochi Balls recipe. As highlighted before, it wouldn’t be a good idea to go fat free for this recipe by substituting the oil with apple puree, banana mash or the like because the exterior of the mochi would end up ‘uncooked’ so […]
I was introduced to gluten-free baking recently and thought I would do a mochi baking experiment with glutinous rice flour as I was curious to know how oven-baked mochi would turn out to be. In order to reduce calories for this dessert treat, I substituted oil with extra pumpkin puree to give it more moisture. […]
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. π 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! π Every time I think of the apple crumble, it would just […]
We are going to usher in the Year of the Monkey in just less than 3 weeks’ time. This year I will be having my reunion dinner a few days earlier as my hubby will be away for the whole of the CNY period and I haven’t started stocking up on ingredients yet. Coming up […]
No dinosaur was harmed in my kitchen, I swear. Haha. The Milo Dinosaur is a popular chocolate malt drink in Singapore and Malaysia that consists of an iced Milo with a heap of Milo powder on top. Not sure how the name came about though but I heard it originated from Malaysia. Perhaps it has […]
These days making sandwiches aren’t just about slapping on a spread or stacking pieces of ham and cheese between two slices of bread. There are so many fanciful sandwich making tools that allow us to make really creative and cute sandwiches that come in all sorts of shapes and designs. And with that, we are […]
It’s the last day of 2015. I’m sure many of us would have made new year resolutions or perhaps thought about things that we would like to see improved in the coming year. Eating healthy and stepping up on my exercise regimen (and hopefully stick to it) have always been on my agenda and most […]
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 […]
