Animal's Buns

Ling's mom made some sardine bun's someday ago. Everyone was raving about it.

So today, we tried out with various fillings (sausage, chesse, red bean paste, tuna, etc)

Ling added little details on the buns for the kids ~ Little piggy, mouse, bear & chicks. Our good friend, Diana made the chocolate dough into "rugby"!

The verdict? Everyone loves the cute buns but the dough is a bit hard.

Probably becoz we put in too much fillings (greedy!!!) and too little dough. Some of our mouse even "pooped" (too much filling) while we baked them.

We will keep that in mind, more dough & less filling the next time we bake.

At one glance, these buns look like Penang famous Tau Sa Piah.

Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake

Ling was browsing through recipes from the internet and came across Edith's "Previous Moments" blog http://preciousmoments66.blogspot.com which has positive reviews. Thanks Edith for the wonderful recipe!

The verdict? Simply delicious!

The cake turned out moist and soft. However, it's a bit "gooey" in the middle.

But that's probably due to the microwave oven. Yah, we dont have a proper electric oven. So now we have a good reason to get on :)

Ling said she will definitely make this again.

p/s: By the time, I posted this, Ling & hubby has bought a new oven! Yupee! More cakes experiments in the future!

Golden "Premix" Muffin

Ling baked muffins for the first time. She wanted it to be "fool-proof", so she used the "Golden Premix Muffin" (bought from http://www.phoonhuat.com/). It turned out quite good and the texture was moist & soft for a muffin.

For the kids, she added chocolate buttons and dried apricot for adults.

Mixed Vegetable Salad

Awaken by a "nightmare" that I had "+" sign on the weighing scale! Hence, decided to have a good start on 1st day of the month (wonderful Sunday morning). (先听着，哈哈，greedy me!)
Made 2 sets of mixed veggie salad for both Ling & I ^.^

Ingredients : Red Cabbage (finely shredded cabbage, marinated with Calamansi Honey Juice, Olive Oil & Sugar), Baby Carrots(Sumich), Japanese Cucumber, Real Bacon Bits (Hormel), Sweet Corns (Watties), Hard-Boiled Egg, Butterhead Lettuce, Iceberg Lettuce, Raisin (Sun-Maid) , Cherry Tomato, Sunflower Seeds, Red, Yellow & Green Capsicums.

House Warming Invitation

Was invited to house-warming party. Decided to bring along the "Home-Sweet-Home" chocolate mini cupcakes as a little gift. More photos to be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/deewitan

Used these "bento gadgets" to decorate the chocolate cupcakes.
