A table for two

[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! [...]

[donotprint]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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Simon (the heart of food) and I just had our lunch at bangbang cafe, but find ourselves wandering around Sydney CBD looking for something sweet not long after. Since we already have eaten, so we are just looking for a spot where we can sit down and relax over a cup of coffee with some [...]

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 [...]

It’s so gooey, you can literally eat it with a spoon! No joke! I love my chocolate cake as moist and gooey as a chocolate fondant, and as intense and rich as a chocolate brownie. And this chocolate cake recipe in Julia Child‘s cookbook is just what I am after. So, if you like your [...]

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 [...]

Good golly gosh! Where has this year gone?! A quarter of the year has slipped away just like that, and we are already in Autumn season down under here in Australia. Easter also suddenly creeps up on me when I am least expected, so as the Darking Bakers’ Challenge! The 2010 March Daring Baker’s challenge [...]

Nanaimo Bar, sounded like a crazy Japanese snack when I first heard it. Only then realised that Nanaimo is actually a city on the Vancouver Island in Bristish Columbia, Canada. The Nanaimo city so proud of this confectionery chocolate squares, they even have a page fully dedicated to the Namaimo Bar on their official website. [...]

Is this thing still on? One two. One two. Hello all and welcome back to A Table For Two in 2010! This is the first post of the new year and I have to admit, it is hard to pick up the quill and start writing again after a long well deserved rest over the [...]

Board games + desserts + BFFs = I AM SO IN! It was Simon‘s Birthday and he herded a group of food bloggers to celebrate this special occasion at Wagaya for dinner then chillax later at a cafe where you can drink, have desserts and play board games! Be very afraid, my inner-geekiness is going [...]

I love my eggs Sunny Side Up, so as my dessert! I’ve been told that I am a person who is difficult to find a birthday present for. I detest! I sure no prima donna, and “Oh, you already have everythinggg…” kind of accusation is absolutely unacceptable! And I also think birthday present doesn’t always [...]

I like my Daring Bakers’ Challenges, because I love playing with new ideas and it is also the only time I can go wild with my desserts! From the quirky Vegemite cheesecake, to a flower Milano Cookie Tuile, oh the possibilities are endless. I always looking forward to that big day when they reveal the [...]
