Happy Fathers' Day

Nope, this cake is not bake by moi..heehee. It is bought by moi sis to celebrate Fathers' Day. We had a steamboat dinner with Dad and Mum followed by this beautiful looking cake. Honestly, I was quite sceptical at first because it is an eggless cake. How can a cake made without any egg be good?!?! To my surprise, the cake tastes better than I expected. Maybe it is time to watch our cholestrol level and switch to eggless cakes from now onwards.

Sweet Sweet Circles

This marks the beginning of my two months baking course. After a long consideration, decided to stop procrastinating and signed up for it.

For my first lesson, I was taught how to make chocolate donuts (my all-time favourite). Hurray! No more store-bought donuts for me again!

Spiritual Bank Account

Received this from a friend this morning. It couldn't come at a more perfect time. Recently, life seems to have felt that I am too boring and wants to inject some "exciting" elements into my life. Quarrels with families, problems at work, distancing friends...all seemed to come at once. Just when I thought I couldn't take it any longer, this email was received in my inbox. Renewing my hopes and fire and making me feel ready to face the world, even if just for one more day. Thank you TT. Hope you are able to read this.

I passed this Bank Account of Bountiful Love and Blessings to All That Matters (thanks for all the encouragement) and Wombat (you are a very courageous young lady and all the best to you).

Chocolate Chip Flapjacks

Participated in the first bake-out organised by Sweet and Simple Bakes.

It is my first attempt at making flapjacks and I feel that the looks are not so appealing. Taste wise, a bit too sweet for me (as I don't really have a sweet tooth). SH likes it and commented that it is very chewy, akin to that of a "sinful" muesli bar. As I have never tasted how an orginial flapjack is like, so not really sure how successful I am in this bake-out.

Sawasdee

Saw this beautiful Thai snack at the Singapore Food Expo last Sunday.

I was attracted to it by its bright and shiny colours. Didn't see this in Bangkok during our recent trip there. SH was equally mystified and so we bought some to try.

This snack showed me the true meaning of the phrase "Looks are Deceiving". The first bite gave me such an electrocuting shock as I totally didn't expect it to taste like this: the skin was extremely QQ, whereas the fillings made of green bean (I suspect) and coconut was sweet, soft and melt in your mouth.

Sad to say, after devouring 2 boxes, we still do not know what is the name of this lovely Thai snack. We called it "Sawasdee" which is the restaurant's name.
