Been to the doc today because of a big lump that appeared on the front left of my neck. Suspected thyroid disorder but got to wait for blood test result next week to determine the severity of the problem. Praying that it’s only a normal thyroid problem that can be controlled with medication and not […]
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 ๐ 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 bananasย andย a pack of chocolate chips left in my pantry, I was able […]
Every weekend I’d always buy a big bunch of bananas from the supermarket as bananas are the best superfood to eat prior to my morning gym sessions for the much needed fuel. However I’d always end up with 2-3 pieces remaining which would eventually turn black and then get thrown away. Quite some time ago, […]
I was just telling the husband the other day that I hadn’t had Mac N Dees pancakes for the longest time so I decided to make them for breakfast since I had all the ingredients available in my pantry. Best of all, there were some leftover bacon too which I pan-fried to crisp and ate […]
Overnight oats are probably the greatest time savers in the morning. Basically they are just rolled oats soaked in milk and/or yogurt in the fridge overnight so you can just dig in right away the next morning before heading out to school or work. I never like oats that much before though my husband can […]
When I asked the husband before his birthday if he’d like me to bakeย a cake for him, he requested for a healthy and low calorie cake that we both could eat without worries so our diet plans wouldn’t go haywire. But to be honest, I find that really hard to do so because it takes […]
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 […]
It’s a donut frenzy! In order to come up with a moist, cake-like texture baked doughnut, I made 3 batches before I nailed it right. And the final batch of donuts turned out so good that the first 2 batches are now neglected ๐ But it’s not a bad thing after all. Cooking and baking […]
I had a big box of yellow cornmeal left after making corn muffins a while back so I decided to use them to whip up some pancakes for breakfast. The first time I made these cornmeal pancakes, they tasted a little gritty. This time, I par-cooked the cornmeal by pouring hot boiling water over it […]
I used to be a die-hard fan of Lao Ban Soya Beancurd ่ไผด่ฑ่ฑ 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 […]

Thisย Dark Chocolate Covered Corn Flakes with Raisins Recipe is so easy to make, your kids can also lend a hand […]
For my Dad’s recent birthday, I had wanted to make a durian cake for him since durian is his favourite fruit. But due to the hazy weather earlier alongside with the presence of the unwelcomed flu bug at home, I had to change the durian cake to a Tiramisu Charlotte Cakeย which is less ‘heaty’ compared […]
For my husband’s birthday, I decided to bake him a red velvet cake which is considered my first attempt at professional cake decorating. It is also the first patisserie-standard choice of cake I ever considered making. It is a big risk because I’m no expert in baking so anything could go wrong. Normally I only […]
Left with a couple of soon-to-expire large eggs and not wanting them to go to waste, I decided I’d do a cake this time which I’m sure my husband would fancy (he loves cakes to bits!). Just a little treat for him since he’s working from home. Inspired by the popular British dessert, Queen of […]
