This snake scared the hell out of me! I was walking down a flight of steps at Labrador park when I saw it in my path! Strangely, it doesn’t move. Is it dead? Filed under: Singapore

Someone commented recently that I was still holding to the Samsung Galaxy S I. After a week travelling in Taipei, I decided to buy a ceramic white Samsung Galaxy S II. White because my brother is using a black version. Didn’t want any chance of a mix-up. Unlike the black version, the white version has ...

Just went to Sim Lim to search for a portable power supply unit that can charge my Samsung Galaxy I on the go. Found this Sony USB portable power supply (lithium) unit which I think is reasonably priced given the ones I’ve seen at Sim Lim. This made in China 4000mAh Sony unit costs S$40 ...

Sometimes, NTUC Fairprice at Bukit Merah sells cheap cookery books. Today, I found one interesting and informative book about handling and cooking pork. Only S$6 and I’ve tried one this evening for dinner. Translating it for you Ingredients: 2 slices of 224g pork loin (I managed to find 2 equal weight slices. But, it’s not ...

Continuing my experiments using levain in doughs, I’m trying to make Chinese buns using levain instead of instant yeast. Here’s my input to this experiment in making egg custar …

Water Yesterday, the dough was rising extremely slowly and I was wondering if tap water used was the reason. So, I tried making sandwich bread again with the remaining levain and raisin yeast water, added Perrier Mineral water this time. The dough rises much faster this time. Almost the same speed as instant yeast! Dough ...

The progress as shown in the slideshow. Time in 24hr format is shown in the caption corresponding to each picture. Click to see a bigger graph. The levain tripled in volume within 3 hours. Mainly due to higher room temperature in the first 90min. Not sure if it will continue to grow. I’m going to ...

Pop! The raisin water gave a “pop” sound when I open the air-tight container and it smells like beer today All raisins have floated to the top. So, it’s time to discard the raisins and keep the raisin water in the fridge. To make the yeast, I added about 100ml of this raisin water to ...

Those instant yeast packets from supermarkets are convenient. However, the post on growing yeast naturally looks interesting to try. I’ve filled a bottle of raisin water yesterday as instructed and here’s the results today. Shaking it vigorously as some advised to achieve better results. See the bubbling effects. I’ve opened the bottle and smelled only ...

This no-bake version is creamy and easy to swallow. Just like ice-cream! I like the addition of kiwis which makes this cheesecake easy to finish! Oops… fattening I know… :p Adapted from Strawberry creme fraiche cheesecake. I have only 250g creme fraiche to start with. Ingredients 100g McVities digestive biscuits 30g unsalted butter, melted 250g ...

I love freshly baked sandwich bread especially those with crispy crust and soft interior. Just like the one I baked today Here’re the ingredients and method for a 20×11.5×11 .5cm loaf tin (Loaf tin, which can be bought at Phoon Huat in Singapore, must have a lid. Otherwise, you can’t get a squarish loaf.) 1 day ...

I’ve been buying cookery books lately. So much so that I have no more proper place for them in my room anymore. Bought 2 fix-it-yourself bookshelves from MUJI and started this challenging mission of spring cleaning. Now, the cookery books may have found a place on the new book shelves, my room is still cluttered ...

Though, my favourite Presidential candidate Dr Tan Cheng Bock did not become President (he lost to Dr Tony Tan by a mere 0.34% or 7,269 votes), he has won our hearts. Don’t be sad Dr Tan. I hope you will continue your good work for Singaporeans. You are the best! Filed under: Singapore

I didn’t use day old egg whites today. Nevertheless, the macaroons turned out okay. I think cool weather helps a bit. Just complaints of the Mastrad Macaroon mats. The silicon mat warped when it became hot in the oven. Frustrating… see it destroyed one of my macaroons The mat was too large for my oven ...
