Clafouti Aux Cerises (Baked Cherry Custard)

September 2, 2010

Spring time is here and we are already three quarter into the year. Spring time only means one thing for me – lots of baking. To be honest, I’ve been procrastinating during winter and haven’t really done much baking than I should. But I can’t wait to get back straight into it, I have promised [...]

Grand Marnier Pecan Pie

August 25, 2010

Pecan Pie, how I love thee! I am a die-hard True Blood fan, how I wish I am in Bon Temps, dining at Merlotte’s, having a slice of pecan pie and wash down with a bottle of True Blood, “AB-, thank you very much.” I have had the best pecan pie at South restaurant in [...]

Fondant Au Chocolat

August 13, 2010

Death by chocolate. You know that question, “What will be your last meal before you die?” I always find it fascinating where different people have different answers and usually the meal is related back to the childhood, or something they are really craving for right there and then. I actually don’t know what my last [...]

Chinese Five Spice Roast Duck

July 26, 2010

Masterchef Australia season 2 is finally over, and I have to congratulate Adam Liaw for making this far and claimed the title. Time flies, I still remember my Masterchef Audition in September last year and what a coincidence to be in the same group as Adam and Alvin, and both Malaysians. Well, I shouldn’t be [...]

Christmas Apricot Glazed Ham

July 21, 2010

It’s Ham-mertime! Question – What is a must have for you during Christmas? A leg ham, a turkey or a kilo of prawns? Seafood is undeniably the biggest seller here in Australia during the summer Christmas. For me (and also the Pom), is always about the meat but having said that, we actually haven’t baked [...]

Roast Chicken with a Can in the Butt recipe

July 7, 2010

I live in a suburb where housewives do buy soft drinks in 2 litre bottles and ice cream in ginormous 4 litre tubs, Neopolitan flavour usually I’ve noticed because you get three flavours in one! Whoop-pee-doo! But more importantly, they are feisty shoppers, they will push trolley and ram you down, stop right in front [...]

Sri Kaya (Coconut Jam) recipe

Momofuku Milk Bar’s Crack Pie

May 6, 2010

If it’s as addictive as crack, then US$44 is possibly the cheapest crack you can get yourself stoned or in this case, hyper sugary high. I am talking about the infamous Crack Pie, an old recipe revamped by the pastry chef Christina Tosi at Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC. I actually haven’t try the real [...]

Pearl of the Sea Macaron

April 14, 2010

My daily full time job revolves around internet, so usually the best way for my clients to find me is via email, msn, skype, gtalk, facebook, twitter, you name it. Then there are also friends who stay online just as much as I do always available for a quick chitchat which is a good distraction [...]

Chocolate Macarons Simnel Cake

April 5, 2010

A modern twist of a traditional Easter cake. A very last minute decision when The Pom mentioned about this cake that his mum will usually make during Easter every year, it sounds so very interesting and I simply have to make it. “There were twelve apostles but then one of them is naughty and I [...]
