After baking a kueh lapis with 25 egg yolks and 5 egg whites, I’m left with 20 egg whites. So, I was elated to find this recipe which uses a cup of egg whites! I baked my first Angel Food Cake today using erm… a bundt pan. That wasn’t a wise thing to do. You ...

Previously, I had used shaoxing wine, pork fillet and omitted fermented beancurd. This time, I added fermented beancurd and a little too much red colouring… otherwise, I like this version better Here’s the recipe from a cookbook which I adapted. I used pork shoulder butt instead of pork belly and reduced the amount of sugar ...

I made those flaky yam mooncakes again This time, I had 4 yam with salted egg yolks and 7 yam with pumpkin paste. The method used was described in my previous post on yam and pumpkin mooncake. The only difference is to use steamed salted egg yolks in the yam paste. I assume you know ...

I was very angry after trying Eric Teo’s Fried Carrot Cake recipe in his Simply Singaporean recipe book. Shouldn’t someone test all the recipes first? Or check for errors? Rice flour was only 20g. Initially, I thought it’s really too little to form carrot cake. However, went ahead believing that it’s Chef Eric Teo. It ...

I love shrimp paste chicken, especially when it’s crispy and hot after deep-frying in oil. However, it isn’t healthy eating deep-fried stuff. I tried baking one using oven on c …

About 1 more month, it’s mid-Autumn Festival again. When the time comes for mooncakes, I like teochew style flaky pastry yam and pumpkin mooncakes best! Spent 5 hours and made 10 of these mooncakes today. I made my own adaptation using the Thousand Layer Yam Mooncake recipe by Choong Su Yin in her book “Moonlit ...

Heheh… I tried to make it look like watermelon by adding colours and roasted black sesame seeds in the same kueh lapis leggit recipe. You can do the same thing by estimating the portions for 4 layers of green batter and 2 layers of no-colour batter. The remaining 60% goes to red batter with roasted ...

Finally, I made my first successful macaroons! This is the mastrad macaroon mat that was too big for my oven. I’m using this to ensure the macaroons’ size are consistent. Need to rest the tray for at least 45min before baking. It helps to place the mat on a cold surface after baking. It makes ...

I was at TOTT store yesterday. Bought this pasta with tomato (S$8.90), squid ink linguine (S$8.90) and squid ink (S$1.80). Found out from another blog that tiny squid ink 4g packet can be bought for S$1.10 at Culina, Dempsey Road and that squid ink linguine costs S$7.80 at NTUC Finest. I’ve overpaid so much! As ...

Recently, I’ve been looking for pectin in supermarkets to set fruit jam for macaroons. However, it’s not found in local supermarkets like NTUC and Cold Storage (I didn’t visit every single one though). Usually, when I asked supermarket staff for pectin or Sure Jell, they would give a puzzle look. It was a pleasant surprise ...

With so many egg whites in the fridge after baking a Kueh Lapis Legit cake, I bought this book for S$15.94 at Ion’s Harris Bookstore yesterday to try baking macaroons. So far, I haven’t been successful baking macaroons using recipes on the Internet. I was hoping for success following recipes from a book. I even ...

Ever since I started to walk much to lose weight, I have been looking for apparels and accessories that have UPF Sun Protection. Currently, my collection of hats have grew! All from Sunday Afternoon because they sell one of the better sun protection hats around that is lightweight, functional (prevents hair damage and sun burn ...

After walking MacRitchie last Monday, I found a red bump on my left thigh. Thought nothing of it, blisters start to form. Just applied tea tree oil and some ointment on it. I was wearing long yoga pants that day. How did it bite me? Perhaps, when I was walking through the bushes or stopping ...

Yes… I’m cooking aglio olio peperoncio bar chor. Basically, it’s garlic and chilli infused olive oil tossed with thin pasta like angelhair. But, I added bak chor or mince …
