My friend, June, told me she tried baking cotton sponge cake and failed. I'm new to baking and couldn't help her find what went wrong but I search the web and found another recipe. It was …

This dish might be familiar to ladies who have gone through confinement. It's a very popular dish to be taken during confinement as it said to help disperse wind and to help tighten the uterus. Erhmm ... my hubby likes this too but no uterus to tighten leh. My confinement lady said man or women, nevermind. All also can eat lah. *giggles*I believe the authentic way to prepare …

This is my husband's favourite fish dish. Phew! At least it's not expensive cod. This is just the opposite. It's cheap! It only cost me a dollar to get one Selar. But it doesn't taste cheap though. *laughs*As it's a hassle to prepare the spices, I usually do more and keep it in the fridge for a few more days. It goes quite well with squid too.If you can't get banana leaf, you …

As you can see, my marble effect is kind of weird. Eva, another friend I know through MSNing said she could see numbers in my cake (shown on the bottom picture). Maybe, the cake is …

You know kids love cocktail sausages. I don't remember eating so much of it when I was a kid. My kids just can't seems to have enough of them. I sometimes served this as a tea-time snack for my kids. And when I'm preparing it, I munched on them too. Haha ... Not much left in the end. I think they make a pretty nice party finger food too.What you see here are cocktail sausage …

爸爸 bought me some clothes and shoes last Sunday. I left the shoes outside the shoe cabinet (cos I need to repack old shoes to let out space for the new ones) *should have kept them*. I lat …

My son asked me to bake him some cupcakes and I thought I wanted to try frosting again. So why not? I had this simple vanilla cupcake recipe I scribbled on my notebook. I did that and added some chocolate chips to it.I won't show the frosting though. I find it was hideous.
