The cake turned out better when baked for 60min instead. However, I still find the cake a little too moist. Will bake for 70min for the third try. Noticed that the colour isn’t very consistent. Read from another tester’s blog post, she used mixer on low to incorporate the egg yolk mixture into the meringue. ...

The biscuit sponges were too soft and disintegrates when soaked in warm green tea. Otherwise, it tastes good. Here’s the recipe that I adapted from ...

It’s a cold wet morning today. Instead of attending a talk, I made popcorns. It’s pretty easy to pop the kernels and this is my first attempt. Measure 100g or 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels. Use a 28cm saucepan with a lid as shown in the picture. Use medium heat throughout. Use enough oil to ...

This Japanese cheesecake from Isetan tastes very much like ice-cream cake. It has more milk than cheese taste. Perhaps, I should have bought rare cheese cake instead. Filed under: Singapore

It’s call D’Leedon. Nothing original about the name. But, I noticed that this development will have 2 entrances like what I have suggested ...

In an attempt to use young coconut’s flesh and juice to blend into “coconut milk”, I got coconut shake instead… Nevertheless, I mixed it with rice flour, bicarbonate of soda, double-action baking powder, pandan juice and water… thinking it would become steam rice cake, anyhow. No, it didn’t become steam rice cake. It’s tasted more ...

My room air-con has been serving me for slightly more than a decade, almost 4,000 days excluding those days that I went overseas. It’s a default that came with the house when we moved in late 1999. For some time, I have been accepting all sorts of problems it threw at me – water leaking ...

Whenever I complained to my mum that I got bitten by mosquitoes, she would reply mosquitoes bite only beautiful people. I don’t believe that. Not that I lack confidence about myself but the statement has no scientific basis. To prevent more mosquito bites, I did a bit of research on the web for natural preventions. ...
