After a failed attempt, I’ve decided to try again with another recipe. Hopefully it turns out looking and tasting more authentic than my first attempt. I don’t have much time to make mistakes since Mid-Autumn Festival is next Friday and I have to bake a batch to go with the mooncakes for our relatives.

I must be losing the touch. The ‘piglets’ I baked for The Hubby turned out looking really quite horrible. And I am quite upset about it.
The piglets cracked quite excessively. Let’s just say there are just way too many cracks for them to be acceptable. The colour was uneven, and even though the top was […]

I could almost hear you exclaiming, “HUH WHAT? A move is a move. What’s a slight move?”
I’m thinking of moving the blog to a sub-directory of this url, that’s all. It’s just a little tricky and I’ve been too afraid to try because the last time my fingers were ‘itchy’ (upgraded the wordpress version), my […]

If you haven’t already realised by now, I have a HUGE fetish and obsession for mooncakes. I apologise if you are no mooncake fan, for much of my posts revolve around them in the recent weeks. Please skip this post if you belong to the group who is nonchalant towards mooncakes.
For the rest of you who are […]

Had some friends over this evening to make some snowskin mooncakes together. There were 4 of us in total, so each of us made a different colour. All colours except for the green one (which is green tea flavour) had white lotus paste wrapped in them.
Aya did the white ones, Fen the green ones, Bun […]

I was having a nap at home today afternoon trying to recover from a nasty bout of flu when a buzz from the intercom woke me up with a start. It was the security guard at the entrance of my estate calling up to check if I was expecting some registered document delivery.
I thought for quite […]

As promised in this post, here’s the pictures of baked mooncakes after ’sitting around’ for 4 days.
Two of them are made by me, and the other two by my sis during the baking class. I’m not sure whose is whose now. And I can’t tell which two have the yolks either. The Hubby is not amused […]

Lady Fingers are not the same as Lady’s Fingers. Most of us Singaporeans who went through the MOE-controlled syllabus should be very familiar with Lady’s Fingers even if we don’t eat them. We used them during art classes for their cross-sectional design, and we planted them during our Primary 4 science classes.
Now, if you use Lady’s […]

I made a total of 3 tiramisus over the weekend using this recipe from Vi, a very nice lady residing in the States - one 8×8 inch went to my cousin YL and her family, another 8×8 inch now sitting prettily in my office’s bar fridge waiting for the boss to cut his birthday cake, and […]

Attended a baking class at Creative Culinaire this afternoon with my sis (cousin YL had a last-minute appointment and had to forgo attending the class).
Initially when I was looking out for mooncake-baking classes, I was looking specifically for classes teaching us how to bake the traditional mooncakes (for The Hubby, who loves the traditional baked […]
