A table for two

Rolling my own pasta eh? When I signed up to be a daring bakers, I was expecting challenges like baking cakes, cupcakes and all those sweet sweet yummy desserts. Who would have thought this is my only second challenge and I have to roll my own pasta, and make a lasagne dish. The March 2009 [...]

Today is all about taking easy, bake some cake, make some dessert soup, look after the herb garden and try some candies from overseas. I’ve also decided to take my Polaroid SX-70 out for a spin. I love my polaroid camera, it is an oldie, but a goodie. It is a shame the film has [...]

Traditional peanut cookies, a must have for the Chinese New Year. Unable to celebrate the Chinese New Year with my family this year makes me extremely homesick and nostalgic, especially missing all the delicious food the most. And the peanut cookie is one of them I am craving for. We used to make this cookie [...]

Love a bit of bargain hunting now and again. I slowly discover some good antique shops with lots of hidden gems around the coast. I know where I am heading for next Christmas shopping. I found this great drink set complete with 6 tumblers. Not sure how old it is, 60s or 70s, but I [...]

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then this festive rum ball will be everyone’s BFF this Christmas. Every year around festive season, it has become a tradition for me and Mr D to get together, sit down and make a massive batch of rum balls to give it to relatives and friends. There’s no [...]

More baking! Yes yes yes… I am going baking nuts this festive season. (I blame the Kitchenaid Christmas pressie I received this year!) The Kitchenaid really makes life a lot easier and the best way to test its performance is to whisk some egg white to soft peak. Hence, I have decided to make some [...]

It’s that time of year again to dust off that mixer sitting in the cupboard, line up all the baking trays on the kitchen bench, bake your favorite cookies and fill the room with aromatic spice this Christmas! I am bit late on this whole 12-days of cookies baking frenzy like every other foodbloggers been [...]

Do you have a KitKat when you have a break? I usually don’t but not until I saw my friend Y posted all the variations of KitKat you can get in Japan.  So I set myself a mission while in Japan – try as many different kind of KitKat in Japan as I could find. [...]

This is going to be a long post, so I’ve decided to split it into 3 parts, as there are just too many stories to tell, and yummy food to share at this amazing gorgeous place deep in the Japanese Alps called the Shibu Onsen. You may not have heard of Shibu Onsen, but you [...]
