A table for two

Day 3. I see red, I see red, I see red. There are already some really good jellies by all the bloggers who take part in the Royal Selangor 30-day ‘Get your jelly on’ challenge! Go and check them out! I know the Breast Cancer Awareness Month is all about pink colour, but pink is simply [...]

Day 2. Is my jelly holding up? The Royal Selangor 30-day ‘Get your jelly on’ challenge in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues on! For the second jelly I present you another simple recipe, it is a classic Malaysian dessert, mango and sago pudding. I do have a soft spot for sago pearls, these [...]

Day 1. My very first jelly for the Royal Selangor 30-day ‘Get your jelly on’ Challenge is up! When I received the Nick Munro jelly mould a week ago, I seriously didn’t know what to do with them and time was running out. I had a play with them and made a few jellies but [...]

Only 10 minutes to go… It is my turn to plate up the dessert, I instantly knew I was in trouble. My chocolate delice in the fridge had not set yet! Peter looked at me, he wasn’t happy! (Cue that heavy background violin shriek with a heavy thump at the end and follow by the [...]

Have a cupcake. I’ve baked many cupcakes before but funny enough, this is the first time I blog about making cupcakes. Don’t get me wrong, I do love cupcakes, but I simply don’t bake them often enough. Every time I pick up my kitchen mixer or dessert cookbooks, I always end up choosing something a [...]

Happy Birthday to The Pom! Here’s a toast, cheers and three pats on the back to my partner in crime, The Pom, because is his “Cow One” today! Don’t ask me why, but ‘cow one’ in Chinese means birthday. This is a white chocolate cake I baked last night for him but didn’t put in [...]

Sweet corn ice cream or ice block to be exact, is one of my childhood favourites. Tweet

Suze has been talking about dining at Bentley restaurant for over a year now and that moment has finally come. It is a generous belated birthday gift from Suze and Helen who suggested to treat me to a dessert degustation menu at Bentley, come along The Pom who also happily chipping in for a night [...]

Gone pear-shaped… My waistline, definitely. Isn’t it funny that all my t-shirts miraculously shrunk overnight? I blame the dryer, it has absolutely nothing to do with my over indulging eating habit off late. I am not here to talk about my curvy figure, but what’s more important to me right now is my personal ‘space’ [...]

After taking up the SIFF Sugar Hit marathon challenge two years in a row, I’ve decided to skip the whole mayhem this year for many reasons. But that doesn’t mean my sweet tooth is going to take any time off, in fact I am going to reward myself with something even more finesse and spectacular. [...]

Someone asked me recently whether I am a recipes developer because she is looking for someone who can in charge of the recipes and flavour profiling side of things for her new venture by opening a restaurant. As much as I like the idea of her project, I humbly said no, I am not a [...]

[donotprint] I am still flicking through The Great British Book of Baking the Pom bought for me during a recent trip back to UK. After having much success with the mandarin marmalade and Grand Marnier pudding, I’ve decided to give another recipe in the book a go and have chosen the Dundee Cake, supposedly to [...]

[donotprint] What do I do with a bunch of mandarins? I made mandarin marmalade! And what do I do with a pantry full of mandarin marmalade? I made Mandarin Marmalade and Grand Marnier pudding! I have been battling (and still do) with a cold for the last whole month, the green-goo-bugger simply won’t go away! [...]

[Competition is now closed. Winners announced here.] 中秋節. I know is spring time in Australia, but there is no reason why we can’t celebrate mid-autumn festival (中秋節), especially when there is food involved, right? One of my favourite Chinese festivals has to be mid-autumn festival, and it falls on 22nd September this year. As you [...]
