"Sinful" Day

It's a "heavy meals" day from breakfast throughout dinner.

Breakfast @ Starbucks, lunch @ Burger King and we had dinner @ Carl's Jr (ECP) with our good friend, Karen & her family.

Planning for little "decent" food for tomorrow. LOL :)

Makizushi

Packed this for a simple lunch and added some favourite fruits.
After several trials, managed to add more ingredients for sushi-making :)

Pandan Chiffon Cake 班蘭薄綢蛋糕

Today is really full of excitement.

Ta....da..... our new "baby" (Ariston Oven) has finally arrived!!! http://www.mayer.sg/www/storefront/ProductDetail/default.asp?ProductId=43&CatalogId=5&Brand=Ariston

Yippee, Ling's decided on Pandan Chiffon Cake with the "opening ceremony" of the newly bought oven. Thank you Dr Tay for the recipe http://ieatishootipost.sg/2010/05/how-to-make-pandan-chiffon-cake-almost.html

The texture and taste turned out good. Everyone like it very much :)

Konnyaku こんにゃく

Been craving for Konnyaku past weeks and after the "nightmare" just now, I have decided to enlighten my day by making konnyaku as "Dessert of the Day".

Bought the Konnyaku Jelly Powder from neighbourhood mini-mart (there're different brands of konnyaku power, this was recommended by a friend) and used the various bento dishes trays instead of konnyaku moulds. Added some golden kiwi and canned fruits.

A little friend of us likes to eat this dessert, especially these various animals moulds of Konnyaku attracted her attention most. Will add "colours" on my next round.

Flag Counter - "Revived" ---- Nightmare!

It's a silly me who's accidentally lost the flag count by http://flagcounter.com just abt 1.5hr ago!

The last updated flag counter shown : SG 97 / MY 27 / TW/AE/AR/FR 1 each / US 9 / GB 2 & few more... [there are some missing visitors tracking] sigh!

1 of the flag collectors "rescued" me! Thank you very much Cherry!http://flagcounter.boardhost.com/profile.php?id=18904

ps: now i am relieved and wl go to bed. Another interview to attend later this morning.

Chocolate Mini Cupcakes

Our good friend, Diana, gave us some mini cupcakes sometime last week. It tasted good. So today, Ling's going to give it a try.

The verdict? It came out moist but bitter. Ling salvaged the situation by cutting some milk chocolates and placed on top of the cupcakes. Our little food-tester ate it, so I guess it's not so bad!

Ling will make this again but will use cocoa powder with less percentage of cocoa.

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.
