I happen to see this challenge going on hosted by Jess from Bakericious for the event Little Thumbs Up. And so happens there is 2 recipes which I have seen online that I really want to try and so happens one of the ingredient aligned with the topic of the Month of October: Coconut. Haha...so many "so happens" !<br />
I have a savory and a sweet recipe to share and for this post, I am going to start with the sweet one - Ondeh Ondeh Cupcakes with Gula Melaka Frosting. (Adapted from: <a href="http://sharmeee.com/2014/08/24/ondeh-ondeh-cupcakes/"><em><span style="color: blue;">http://sharmeee.com/2014/08/24/ondeh-ondeh-cupcakes/</span></em></a>) I did change the frosting from the original recipe as I prefer the frosting infused with Pandan =) And I added a bunch of pandan leaves during the prep for the fillings to make it more fragrant. I followed mainly the recipe by Sharmee but I will list what I tweaked to suit my family taste better.<br />

During my second pregnancy, I went into full force cupcake baking, trying to find the best cake recipe. And the best part, I had gestational diabetes! And yes! what better time to test cupcake recipes? That did not stop me though.. as I have a solid group of taste testers who are willing to make sacrifice anytime (You know who you are guys! Love ya!) For me, during that time, I had to control my diet and deprive myself of all the cravings my stomach tells my brain. This was my only escape, only therapy to keep me sane. The smell of these cupcakes makes me feel happier and normal (all the needle poking), they were really my Cups of Joy. <br />
<br />
I am actually thinking to myself whether I should squeeze all the cupcake recipes I have tried in one post on cupcakes but I think that will be too much for your reading eyes to absorb. So I have decided to spread it out, starting with one of my favorites - Yuzu Cupcake with cream cheese frosting. I finally understand why our famous local 12 Cupcakes uses mostly cream cheese base frosting for their cupcakes. Cream cheese frosting is so much stable for our weather condition to hold the shape for a much much longer time compare to whipped cream. But sometimes I do prefer the light-ness of whipped cream, well...that's for another post...on with recipe :)<br />

"Li Ho Bo?"( How are you?) "Li Jiak Barh Bueh?"(Are you full from eating?) These was my limited dictionary of hokkien when communicating with my Ah Ma (Grandmother) when I was a kid. I don't dare to say my hokkien improve a lot since, but still can survive and I find that I am less shy to make mistakes. What?! Say wrong say wrong la... Learn from it =) My grandmother is a very good cook, my mum too, so is not a wonder why I grew up most of the time overweight.. lol! I am super well fed. It is not hard to find Hokkien style of cooking on the dining table, even my mum who is Hakka, cooked Hokkien dishes like a pro. From Hokkien mee to Kong Bah(Stewed pork) to Giam Peng(Flavored Rice), you name it she will try her best to replicate and bringing it to the next level. (Her hakka dishes are also to die for, but that is saved for another post for another day ..hee!)<br />
<br />
Truth is, I hated Giam Peng when I was young. Hated the taste of long bean and when mum substitute it with cabbage, I hated the cabbage. But dear parents out there who have children who hate vegetables, do not stop trying your luck! Always present them with the veg they do not like, and eat it in front of them. I guarantee you they will love it one day! (a constant note to myself as well). Now I love Giam Peng, to certain extent I will miss it and reminds me a lot of childhood. It is funny how well mothers cook, and yet they don't really teach their children the know how, or maybe it is just my mum. She does measurements with her eyes, so if you ask her for recipe, it is really only the ingredients she can name and the rest you imagine yourself ok. And so, here is my imagination of Giam Peng a.k.a Long Bean Rice. There are also a lot of other rendition of this dish, you can substitute the long bean with cabbage, pumpkin or yam. All will taste just fine if you ask me. This recipe is only a rough guide, you can tweak it to your likings. Do note my family is small, so all my ingredients are just nice for a small family and a small rice cooker. (No food Wastage) <br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
(Feed 2 hungry adults and 1 hungry todd)<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>4 Long Beans - Chopped up into 1 1/2inch</li>
<li>1 1/4 cups white rice - Rinse it as usual and measure the water to how you would normally cook it, pour out the water in a container and set aside. </li>
<li>1 Lup Cheong (Chinese Sausage) - Submerge it in boiling water for 1 min, take it out and remove the collagen casing. Slice up and set aside</li>
<li>6-8 dried Mushrooms depend on the size (I use 7 small ones) - Soak for at least 2 hrs (I do it in the morning and cook in the evening) - Squeeze all the water out and slice it up. </li>
<li>150g of Pork Belly (you can use more if you love meat) - Soak in boiling water for 1 min. Take it out and slice it. Place all in a bowl and season the meat with 1 tbsp of corn flour/ 1tbsp of soy sauce/ pepper/ a dash of Hua tiao jiu/1 tsp sesame oil. Set aside.</li>
<li>1 1/2 tbsp dried shrimps - soaked in water for 2 mins, drained and roughly mince it, set aside</li>
<li>1 tsp Minced garlic </li>
<li>1 tbsp sliced up shallot</li>
<li>1 tsp black soy sauce</li>
<li>1/2 tbsp oyster sauce ( mine is with dried scallop one from Lee Kum Kee)</li>
<li>1 tsp mirin/sake/hua tiao jiu</li>
</ul>
Instructions:<br />
<ol>
<li>Add ard 1 tbsp of olive oil and sautéed the pork till 3/4 cooked and set aside (over high heat).</li>
<li>Same wok, Sautéed the garlic and shallot till fragrant, add in the dried shrimps (over med to low heat).</li>
<li>Continue to sautéed till the shrimp is cooked then throw in your long beans and lup cheong</li>
<li>Add mirin cover and simmer over med to low flame till long bean soften a little. </li>
<li>Add in the pork and rice and all the sauces. Mix everything up over med flame for a min or 2. </li>
<li>Pour everything back into the rice cooker pot then pour in the water that you have set aside earlier on.</li>
<li>Level the water to cover all the ingredients, place into rice cooker and cook as per normal. </li>
<li>When you have left 5 mins to the rice cooker from completing cooking, give the content a good stir and continue cooking till your rice cooker is done cooking. </li>
</ol>
Do note that if your rice is still not soft enough after cooking, you may want to start your cooker again, but do check on it to prevent burning, although the burnt part taste very good.. haha.. <br />
This is really an economic dish and although the prepping takes a bit more time, but all in all you can serve dinner within an 1 hr and 15 mins? Good enough for me.<br />
You may also want to buy those ready "Shio Bak" (Roasted Pork Belly), then you need not spend time on prepping the meat from scratch. Or if you really have time, make Air Fried Shio Bak lar... also very nice. You can garnish it with cilantro, one of my fav (I hated when young). My big K is not a big fan of green bean but still will give face and eat the green bean in this dish. Well, I guess she is also a late bloomer in the vegetable department like the mother. But I will keep on trying de!<br />

Yet another food post guys :) The truth is I cook more than I bake these days. Yes! I am a superwoman like many working mums...we struggle everyday to bring back the money and still try to squeeze our brain juice n strength to cook delicious food for the family. I really appreciate cooking blogs and Facebook Cooking groups like SHC, to keep the ideas coming ! I think everyone can agree with me that Japanese cusine is well love n sort after in Singapore. This explains why you can see Jap restaurents in every corner of a little country like ours. There is this one dish which I always prefer homecooked rather than ordering outside, as restaurant standard can be so easily achieved with this one. Katsu Curry Don.<br />
<br />
As I scroll through my own blog, I do have 1 posting on this dish. But recently, upon stumbling on Just One Cookbook, I decide to try out this dish again. The most troublesome part of making this dish is to fry the Katsu. Tell my mother I serve fried food to her grandchildren, I will get it from her that's for sure! So, why not bake it instead? Less oil and easy to clean up (basically no clean up if you lay your tray nicely with aluminum foil).<br />
So, stop with the yakking (for now) and on with the recipe =)<br />
<br />
For the Katsu, I followed the recipe from <a href="http://www.justonecookbook.com/baked-tonkatsu/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Just One Cookbook</span></a><br />
As for the curry, Just One Cookbook do have one which is more authentic, but mine is simply working mum friendly.. hehe..<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
(for 2 adults and a Todd for 2 days)<br />
- 2 Carrots (diced up)<br />
- 2 Russet Potatoes (diced up)<br />
- 1 Large Yellow Onion (diced up)<br />
- Olive Oil<br />
- Japanese Curry cubes (I choose the mild one with apple/honey- more kids friendly and usually I buy the small box, no wastage and no leftovers for you to keep in the fridge till you forget about it)<br />
- Half an apple<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
<br />
1) Stir-fry onion in the pot, this is optional, but I add a dash of mirin as I feel it makes the onion really sweet and a wee bit of salt. Let the onion sweat it out<br />
2) Add in both the carrots and potatoes and continue to sautéed for about a minute.<br />
3) Pour in water till all the ingredients are covered with water. Cover and let the soup boil and simmer<br />
4) Till the ingredients have relatively soften, pop in the curry cubes and grate in the apple. Stir till well incorporated. <br />
5) Cover, continue to simmer at med to low heat. <br />
6) By the time your Katsu and rice are ready, you can off the heat. <br />
<br />
I do not know why, but this curry always taste better the next day... so usually the next day I will add long beans and diced up chicken into the curry. There you have another meal settled... good right?!<br />
I hope all of you will like this recipe, I do =) (Just add those purple pickles to this and shredded red ginger and a poached egg, your instagram pic will look even better!)<br />

<span style="color: #444444;">For those who do not know me that well, I grew up playing Barbie dolls and watching Disney princesses. I have always liked anything pink, cute, sweet...anything girlie you name it (although for the longest time I was in denial of it), I love it. Growing up I do have a few Barbies but when it comes to my own room, we do not have the luxury of space to have a room to ourselves. My lil sis and I had to share a room and the décor was just normal. Nothing wrong with it and we grew up just fine, but it is just every girl's dream to own a "princess room". Note, this is going to be a long long post... so read on if you are intending to revamp your kid's room, if not, you can just scroll quick to enjoy the pictures =)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I am very lucky to be blessed with 2 little girls...and being presented this golden opportunity to design their "Princess" Room!!!! Big K already has thinking of her own, so I would not be so mean to actually force my ideas on her. I value her input as well, especially when choosing the bedframe. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">The truth is, my first choice of the bedframe was </span><a href="http://flexaworld.com.sg/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Flexa</span></a><span style="color: #444444;">, I love their simplicity and quality materials(very solid). The reason Hubs and I decides on </span><a href="http://lilpieceofhaven.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Kids Haven</span></a><span style="color: #444444;"> (2nd choice) are as follow:</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Therefore, as you can see, the kid's opinion did played an important part in our decision making. After deciding on Kids Haven, we approached Vivian the Lady Boss of Kids Haven to place our order and also to specify all the changes we want on an existing showroom piece. She was really accommodating and gave us very realistic advices which I really appreciate. Due to our extensive customization, we waited 2 months for the bed, but it was well worth the wait. While waiting, it gave us ample time to re-paint the room as well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">When we first move into the house (with no kids), the room the kids have now is the least done up. It was only painted in white with laminated floorings. And so, we engaged </span><a href="http://www.nipponpaint.com.sg/professional-painting-service/paint-and-save-promotion/?gclid=CjwKEAjw1_KwBRDEz_WvncL4jGwSJAAEym0dtuDuwO8VLobgZi07kicqGUCYG3XfUep9DWhRLPTuPxoCrjTw_wcB" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Nippon Paint</span></a><span style="color: #444444;"> for their painting service. Although it was only 1 room, but it was their SOP to send a consultant over to access the walls before recommending us with the right kind of paint, very professional and informative. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">On the actual day of the paint job, <span style="color: #444444;">although</span> we did clear up the room a bit, the workers came and helped move all the bulky items out of the way. Covered the whole room, only exposing what is needed to be paint. All in all, it was hassle free, and only minimum clean up required from us. With kids around in the house, fast and clean service like this is really what we needed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">At this point, I have covered all the big ticket items. Now, let's talk about the décor. My must have for the room, regardless whether my kids like Hello Kitty or not, is the Hello Kitty Lamp by </span><a href="http://www.basenl.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">baseNL</span></a><span style="color: #444444;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">This is really a love at first sight for me and I just got to have it. I got the lamp through </span><a href="http://www.hipvan.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=hipvan&utm_campaign=Brand&gclid=CjwKEAjw1_KwBRDEz_WvncL4jGwSJAAEym0dig1Y4gEEu9GMsaZQwS5wUpwm3R2O-e_lqlyf-IfP0hoCe3Tw_wcB" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">HipVan</span></a><span style="color: #444444;">, a Singapore based online store that sells unique stuffs ranging from furniture, lamps, decors, storage etc. What I like about HipVan, is their fast delivery (Free Too!) and 30 days return policy, not all the stuffs you think suits your home does . Therefore with this return policy, you will not worry to buy the wrong stuffs then worry about selling it off on Carousel the next day! Sounds familiar?</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">No worry for me though, I love love love this lamp and fortunately for me, so does big K and lil K.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">Another thing that I would like to mentions are the canvas print. I bought the "Playroom Rules" from <a href="http://totallyhotstuff.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Totally Hot Stuffs</span></a>. </span><span style="color: #444444;">These canvas are actually produced by a brand call <a href="http://www.lorliepopprints.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Lorliepop Prints</span></a>. It is started by a mother who wanted to make beautiful prints for her baby's nursery. One print then another... and so it became Lorliepop Prints. I just love the simple quotes on their products and they do have customization available. This is definitely a pretty addition to the room. </span><br />

I have never imagine myself being one of those parents who would put in effort to bring their kids to watch kiddy shows, less said to bring the kids to meet their favorite idols. Yup! I outdid myself! Well Done CXR! Big K and Lil K are both obsessed with Hi5 and Big K adores one of the members - Steven Nicholson so much that she has been "calling" him on those toy phones since she understands the whole idea of a phone. It is really a pity that he will soon leave the group for greener pastures end of the year and the performance in Singapore this year September would be his last appearance as Hi5. <br />
Well, how could I miss this chance to make some lasting memory for my Kiddos?! And so le Hubs and me decided to bring them to a meet and greet session at some unknown mall prior to their actual performance (which we bought 3 CAT A tixs). It was like spend 50 and earn a chance to take a pic with the group. It was on a sat and so happens, the day before (Friday) is teachers day in Singapore. And so, I decided to do something special for both the teachers and the Hi5 members. I bake some sugar cookies and decorated them for each occasion. This is really simple yet looks so pretty. I reduced the sugar in the sugar cookie so that the overall taste of the cookie would not be too overwhelmed with sugar =)<br />
<br />
Recipe adapted from: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/10402/the-best-rolled-sugar-cookies/">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/10402/the-best-rolled-sugar-cookies/</a><br />

The one thing I really dread when rolling this type of cookie dough is they become so soft so quickly due to our ever so humid and hot weather. So it would really help if you can do it in a air-con room =)<br />
<br />
As for the icing, just mix the following together till well incorporated. And divide them into piping bags and add your desired coloring. You are ready to rock!<br />
<br />
1 cup powdered sugar<br />
1/2 tsp vanilla essence<br />
1/2 tbsp milk<br />
<br />
For the cookies meant for the teachers, I went for the chocolate coat and covered with toasted almond bits. =) <br />

Big K had a great time running about the school distributing her gift to the teachers. But even better when she presented her Idol with the cookies on stage the next day. She got a big hug and Hi5 from Stevie. This girl is star-strucked! And since this will be the last chance she can get up close and personal with Stevie, we went for the second time on Sunday for the meet up, and yup, we spend another 50 for the queue tickets. Hai.. the money we spend just to make the lil ones happy. But hey... when they are happy... it makes me over the moon =)<br />

Can't believe that it has been such a long time since I visit this blog. Looking through the posts feels really nostalgic. Well I am no longer 32 that's for sure, 33 years old already! Yikes... time really fly by when your days/weeks/months is occupied with waking up early, tending to the kids, work, cook dinner, playing with the kids and then some personal time to catch up on Youtube episodes, then sleep. Although it sounds so mundane but to see these 2 lil ones grow up by day, is the happiest and most fulfilling thing in my life, there is never a dull moment with them. =) <br />

That also means bringing quality food to them. I always make it a point to cook at least 3 home cooked meals per week, and also having home cooked meals by my mum every other day. This will help us save money while the kids still get the nutrients they need. One such meals I always turn to is Carbonara. We are hooked I tell you.. or should I say I am hooked. They are so easy and quick, from prepping, cooking, eating and cleaning up. It is my go to recipe ever since I found it on "<a href="http://www.laurainthekitchen.com/all/recipes.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Laura In the Kitchen</span></a>" The key to this dish is using fresh ingredients, the fresher the better. I did tweak the original recipe a little to make it more creamy just what my hubby would like, but the original recipe taste just fine if you ask me. <br />

<br />
250g Pasta of your choice.( I always use penne or fusilli)<br />
1 small yellow onion - Diced up<br />
8 slices of bacon ( U can use less or more, you can use Pancetta if you are feeling "Atas") - Sliced up to about 1/2 inch <br />
6 Brown/white Mushrooms (This is optional) - Sliced up<br />
Mirin<br />
Sea Salt<br />
Black Pepper<br />
<br />
Sauce:<br />
4-5 Tablespoon of Heavy cooking cream<br />
3 eggs (You can use 2 eggs plus 1 yolk)<br />
Loads of Freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano ( I use probably 1/2 cup)<br />
A pinch of Sea Salt <br />
A pinch of Black Pepper<br />
<br />
Mix all these in a measuring cup and set aside.<br />
<br />
And that's it for the ingredients!<br />
<br />
1) Caramelized the onion then add in the mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt and a dash of mirin and pepper. Set aside.<br />
2) Boil water and add in 1/3 tsp of salt. When water comes to a boil, throw in the pasta and cook as per the instructions on the packet. <br />
3) Sautéed the bacon till they are a little browned, not too crisp up!<br />
4) Add in the onion and mushroom mixture and give is a good toss. <br />
5) About the same time, the pasta should be ready, drain the water, and toss all the pasta into the bacon/onion/mushroom mixture. Give it a good mix.<br />
6) Bring the pot off the stove and pour in the sauce and start stirring the mixture till all the pasta is coated with the luxurious sauce. The residual heat of pan and pasta will continue to cook the sauce but not hot enough to scramble the eggs which we do not want. <br />
7) Serve immediately with more grated parmesan on top =)<br />
<br />
This is so simple probably will take you at most 2 tries to actually perfect it to suit your taste buds. <br />
<br />
Is this a come back blog? I don't know, but will not be the last. Till next time =)<br />

I have bought all my ingredients and will get the oven heating soon this week. Would really love to try out this biscotti recipe before I fly off to my "rest and do nothing" holiday. Really looking forward to that, really have been a work-oriented year for me in office. A lot of major changes and adjustments. Therefore, it is always a bliss to find time and bake, eat and just rest the mind and soul!<br />

I am so pre-occupied with the CNY stuffs... i have become very forgetful! To start off.. what is prep without baking!? And so, this year i bought all my ingredients and also not forgetting the very important plastic container (that i really regret last year for not using and ended up my cookies went soft). I made altogether 4 types of goodies. They are Almond Melting Moments, Chocolate chip with Rasin Cookie, Apricot with Almond Cookie (Drizzled with melted choco) and also my must have Choco Cornflake Crisp! <br />
<br />
For consecutively 2 days, my unit was soaked in the aroma of baked cookies and i am not sure about my neighbours, but to me it is aromatherapy... Mmmmm... Though i was really tired at the end of it..hur hur... I did not take any pics when baking as it was really like a warzone. Therefore I only have the final packed products for your to see... =)<br />

</tbody></table>An update on my lil garden collection. As said in my previous entry, I kept my word and add on a few more plants to my garden... A very sad news to share as well. My rose plant died. I am not sure, but i feel is that i over-watered it and also the salt level of the soil is too high. Anyways... it died. I had to move on. Luckily all my other plants are doing fine and i googled (How can I live without Google?!!) on how to look after them more professionally. Most are growing by day and budding even (for my tie shu) =)<br />

Some quick updates on my New Year Celebration. I invited my bro and sis over for a dinner since my Dad and Mom had their own events to attend to. <br />
<br />
I knocked off early on New year eve and rush back home to whipped up the dessert - Tiramisu. Followed by cooking the pasta for the Sausage Baked Pasta and also Chicken Breast Cesaer's Salad as a Starter. There you have it.. a simple meal and celebration to mark the ending of Yr 2010 and staying hopeful for the new year 2011! <br />

Yay! The first thing on my baking list would be Matcha Red Bean Torte? Well, I got some baking green tea powder back in September and has been waiting then on to make some nice Matcha bakes... <br />
<div> </div><div>I do have a recipe for Matcha Torte, but i would like to improvise it. How? I add in red bean to my fillings! </div>Here goes the recipe:<br />
<br />
<strong>Green Tea Sponge Cake:</strong><br />
<em>Ingredients A:</em><br />
<ul><li> 80g cake flour</li>
<li> 1 tbsp japanese green tea powder</li>
<li> 80ml thickened cream </li>
<li> 1 egg + 5 egg yolks</li>
</ul> <em>Ingredient B:</em> <br />
<ul><li>5 egg whites </li>
<li>1/2 tsp cream of Tartar </li>
<li>130g castar sugar ( I reduce it to 110g) </li>
</ul><em>Method:</em><br />
<br />
1. Beat egg yolks until creamy and fluffy.<br />
2. Mix flour with green tea powder.<br />
3. Fold in flour with egg yolk batter and alternate it with cream. <br />
4. Whip egg whites with cream of tartar and sugar until soft peak. <br />
5. Mix the 2 batters together until its well combined.<br />
6. Pour into spring foam cake pan (I used 7" but ended up leftover with batter enough to yield 9 cupcakes). <br />
7. Bake at preheated oven 170 deg C for 25 mins then reduce heat to 150 deg C for another 10 mins or till done. <br />
8. Let the cake sits for 2 mins and unmould it.<br />
<br />
<strong>Cake Outer Layer Cream:</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Ingredient:</em> <br />
<ul><li>250g mascarpone cheese </li>
<li>2 tablespoons icing sugar </li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract </li>
<li>2 teaspoons matcha powder </li>
<li>200 ml non-dairy whipping cream </li>
</ul><em>Method:</em><br />
<br />
1. Manual whisk, mascarpone cheese with icing sugar and vanilla extract. <br />
2. Add in two teaspoons matcha powder and mix until blended.<br />
3. Using an electric mixer whisk the non-dairy whipping cream until stiff peak. <br />
4. With a spatula, fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture. <br />
5. Fold in the remaining whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture.<br />
<br />
<strong>Red Bean Cream for the Internal Layer:</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Ingredient:</em><br />
<ul><li>100ml Non-Diary Whipping Cream </li>
<li>100ml Hokkaido Red Bean Paste</li>
</ul><em>Method:</em><br />
<br />
1. Using an electric mixer whisk the non-dairy whipping cream and red bean paste until stiff peak.<br />
<br />
<strong>Assembly:</strong><br />
<br />
1. Place a cake ring on a 9" cake board.<br />
2. Place a layer of the sponge cake into the cake ring. <br />
3. Spread the Red Bean cream and place another sponge cake over the spread.<br />
4. Pour the Outer Layer cream and slowly spread it into the gaps in between the cake ring and the cake. <br />
5. Even out the surface of the cake. Cellophane cove the cake and refridgerate for at least 6 hours.<br />
<br />
I hope you will try the Red bean cream and sponge recipe as i find this combination very nice. The subtle sweetness of the fluffy sponge cake pair off well with the sweet, light and textured Red Bean Cream. As usual ending off with some pics of my Match Red Bean Torte.... Do give this recipe a try! =)<br />

Things which i like to do at home other than cooking and baking... Nothing better than staying at home snuggled on a rainy day with the TV on while reading my favourite magazine - Food & Travel =)Puffy'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10593969445030014228noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909874541113696262.post-16299300198344829392010-11-17T03:25:00.000-08:002010-11-17T17:19:53.870-08:00CraZY ABouT SooN ToBuWhat is Soon Tobu? Actually it is a Korean dish for Tofu Hot Pot. A very common comfort food among the Koreans. Recently I had the best Soon Tobu at BCD Tofu House in LA and was very determined to try replicate the taste at home in Singapore. I invited my parents over to try it and also to beef up the menu, I roasted some saba fish to go along with the rice.... Yums!<br />
<br />
The most important ingredient in the replica would be the Korean Chilli Paste and also the chilli powder. As i did not have the time to hunt down the Korean chilli powder, I used Cayanne instead... <br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients for the Soup Base:</u><br />
<ul><li>Anchovies ( or use Dashi Powder w Anchovies)</li>
<li>Seaweed</li>
<li>3-4 cloves of garlic peeled </li>
<li>4-5 shitake mushroom</li>
<li>1 large yellow onion</li>
</ul>Throw all these ingredients into a big pot of water and bring to boil and then simmer for an hour or 2. <br />
<ul><li>Drain out all the ingredients leaving the soup base to cool. </li>
<li>Dice the onion and mushrooms. Discard the rest of the ingredients. </li>
</ul><u>Ingredients for the Soon Tobu:</u><br />
<ul><li>3 tablespoon of Korean Chilli paste</li>
<li>1 table spoon of Korean miso paste</li>
<li>1 egg (1 egg for each pax)</li>
<li>2 packet of soft tofu (I used Fortune (for soup))</li>
<li>1/2 bowl of pork (u can use seafood or beef or chicken), marinate with a bit of soy sauce, pepper, seseme oil</li>
<li>Reuse the onion and mushroom from the soup base</li>
<li>Fish Sauce</li>
<li>Soy Sauce</li>
<li>Some sugar</li>
</ul>In a seperate pot or you may go to the Korean shops to buy the hot stone pot for the authentic feel, heat a teaspoon of oil. Sauteed the pork, onion and mushroom with a pinch of salt.<br />
When the pork is cooked add in the soup base. Add in the chilli paste, miso paste, tofu, a dash of fish sauce, and a dash of soy sauce. Cover the pot and bring to boil.<br />
<br />
At any point, you may want to taste the soup and add the seasoning accordingly to your taste. I like mine hot so i added a lot of cayanne powder. Before serving, crack an egg on the surface of the soup and there you have it - A super "shoik" soup that goes really well with rice or udon. <br />
<br />
Here are some pics of my soup... hope you will try it and do leave a comment or 2 of your trail... Enjoy~<br />

This is my first trip to the States and is really an exciting experience for me. I reached LA airport in the afternoon and was greeted by my sweet hubby holding a sign saying "My Wife" and of course the sunny sky of LA which later on rained and remain cloudy for 3 days. I miss my hubby sooo much!<br />
<br />
I was there for 12 days and I managed to go to a few places during weekends when hubby is free and not working. And from Monday to Friday, I stayed in the hotel room and make sandwiches for dear hubby for lunches as I was forbidden to cook and make the room stink of oil... I did my daily gym routine as well. The most looked forward meal of the day was always the dinner. We ate out most of the time, even caught a movie - Resident Evil 3D - at AMC. There were only 2 other couples in the cinema... something which you do not see often in Singapore =) <br />
<br />
During the weekends we visited Ontario Mill Factory Outlet and Desert Hill Premium Outlet where I did most of my shopping. Really shopped till I dropped .. everything was so much cheaper! We also did sightseeing at Santa Monica Beach , Hollywood, Griffith Observatory,Universal Studio and Disneyland. Oooo.. by the way, I really enjoy shopping in their supermart too... Target and another one which sell all organic food -Wholesome Food Market. How I wish I can bring the things there back... <br />
<br />
Now.. as for the food... they have the nicest fried chicken! Yes! Sinful... but really tasty! I got to tried some nice lobster and scallops at the Red Lobster Restaurent. But to my surprise the favourite food that I tried for this trip which i enjoyed the most is the Korean Organic Tofu pot at BCD. I love it !! Super tasty !! Very spicy with a lot of tofu - my favourite food! I shall try to mimick what i have tasted there and will try to update a post of my version of Korean Tofu Pot ! Well a lot has been said.. and i shall as usual end my post with some chosen pics of my trip! Enjoy~ =)<br />
<br />

ANYone?My collegues in my officie has been crazy over a snack which is really refreshing and easy to do. I love it very much myself and would like to share with all of you..<br />
There is no specific weight of how much ingredients.. you do as per your liking! =)<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
<ul><li>Tomatos (preferably medium size , cherry tomatos also can)</li>
<li>preserved sweet plums </li>
<li>preserved orange skin</li>
</ul>Basically what you do is to dig a hole in the tomato with a knife, stuffed adequate amount of the mixture of plum and orange skin. Viola.. that's it... now before consuming, you will have to cover it and fridge it for at least 4 hours (longer the better). The taste is really refreshing and nice.. a nice snack and replacement to chips and biscuits. Do try! =)<br />

It has been sitting in our kitchen cabinet for some time. Finally I decided to put it to good use. Friday night I went home straight after work and within an hour in the kitchen.. I made Tiramisu, with a good amount of Baileys! This is my second time making this bake-free Tiramisu and it was a breeze... Everyone loves Tiramisu .. Hubby likes it.. and had been having it as breakfast for these 2 days... =) </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Yes! I am whining. <br />
<br />
I would like to talk more on the program i have joined. I was actually having some external course at Toa Payoh where my collegues and I came across this Lose to Win road show... Hmmm .. very interesting. We stopped at the booth and asked if there is any registration fee required.. (typical aunty question! haha) and I got the answer which all "aunty" will be overjoyed to hear - "No" and so ... we signed up immediately without second tot nor hesitation. Why not? I have nothing to lose but all the benefits to gain.... <br />
<br />
Wait! First all of you must be aware of the criteria you need to have in order to join. As this is heavily funded by HPB (I guess, since their person in charge is always there when we are doing exercise..) . Not so sure about the guys ... but ALL GALS! you must be:<br />
<br />
1) Overweight (BMI >25, < 36) - meaning you cannot be too obese for it as there is much exercise to be done. (I have never been so proud to be overweight in my life! Yes! I am!!)<br />
2) Waist Circumference > 32"<br />
<br />
Once you are in, get ready to be really invovled in a 3 mths intensive weight lose programme. Every week there will be exercise sessions hosted by professionals from TeamfitnessGuru ( do check them out, they are superb! <a href="http://www.teamfitnessguru.com/">http://www.teamfitnessguru.com/</a> ) You will be send for 3 nutrition workshops where you will learn how to eat right, cook right and buy right. Now, the free stuffs:<br />
<br />
1) 2 Dri-fit T-shirt with the Lose To Win Logo<br />
2) 1 pkt Milo and 1 btl mineral water at the end of each exercise session<br />
3) 2 weeks of healthy meals at participating Kopitiam <br />
4) 1 gym bag, with towel <br />
<br />
Personally i am going into the 2nd month of this program and just got my weight assesment results! I have lost 4.8kg and 4cm from my fat waist! Yeah! and i have gain back my stamina to train for my runs and start exercising again (after slagging for a long 1 yr). I feel good again! I am still training hard and being very careful of my food intake. Hopefully I can lose another 8kg by the end of the 3 months! Everyone! support me mentally okay?! =)<br />
<br />
<em>P/S: Do note that every person can only enroll in this program once! (So sad when i heard this news... but anyway the knowledge gained is beneficial for lifetime)</em>Puffy'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10593969445030014228noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909874541113696262.post-85396241406756641362010-08-15T20:19:00.000-07:002010-08-15T20:19:35.935-07:00MIA - CameRA HiJacKED!Yes!.... My Camera has gone for a holiday in the States for a good 3 months and i am left with no camera for any picture updates! So be prepared for pictureless posts for these few months till my dear camera is back! =)<br />
<br />
Currently, I am doing less baking unless there are any special orders... heehee.. Contrary, I am all into this program which i have participated with 2 other frens. It is call Lost To Win! Yes .. as the name suggest, I will have to shed as much kilos as possible to win win win ... $5k to be exact.. =)<br />
<br />
I am going into week 3 of this program and i can feel progress, i still have not pluck up enough courage to quantify this progress. Anyway, there will be an official assesment bythe organisers in the first week of September. I will work super hard to make sure my numbers then will have some decrease...*cross my fingers*<br />
<br />
My dear readers! please give me your support mentally or physically!! Do leave comments or words of encouragements ! I need them ! =) Thanks U!Puffy'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10593969445030014228noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909874541113696262.post-5216195065741471662010-07-01T06:23:00.000-07:002010-07-01T06:44:07.049-07:00TOniGht's DiNNer<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Ever since I got married and own my own kitchen, I will make it a point to cook dinner at home at least once a week.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I love it!!

I have always feel that Taiwan has been over-rated. A lot of my frens and frens's frens are super crazy about this place, always telling me how fun it is over there.. how easy it is to go free and easy and how cheap and good it is... Well, they are all true!! I really like the place and will definitely go back again. It has completely replaced short shopping getaways best choice - Hongkong .Taiwan will be my first choice now!<br /><br />We started off the trip hectic, with an overnight bus journey to Chiayi.<br />This is where we tranfer to make our way to FenQiHu, a little old village in the mountains of Alishan. With great company and a good guide, we really have a fulfilling and educational time in Alishan.We got to see the sunrise, sea of clouds and fireflies.. The place we stayed was awesome 5 star from me! Was really worth all the walking and climbing.. =)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9OzPEZQuoG6B02SC0goi18EueBxmrs9ETsMpiEatShW-ek9-WoyBGRgLY_PgQrdFOZM1oA0ifDlxiiKuYCmiaFvI6gN_PCjdpyTXJ6D7ts6bOSiQvC2caAb36I46Q1BQHCtgK0ADrig/s1600/mini-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9OzPEZQuoG6B02SC0goi18EueBxmrs9ETsMpiEatShW-ek9-WoyBGRgLY_PgQrdFOZM1oA0ifDlxiiKuYCmiaFvI6gN_PCjdpyTXJ6D7ts6bOSiQvC2caAb36I46Q1BQHCtgK0ADrig/s320/mini-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485986354962338530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXf1CFRxztwy_GoT_sjV6B-Qta27mbEeCMNkEvwxpJx6ZFC0RN6ul71DF4czTRw7YGDu76oBgQzgxJMsH27wLyLD7aacdP9DCf3y4Vi3u-yWKFp9Goau1f6N_mPnfOigcsN2fqZo7KqlE/s1600/mini-2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXf1CFRxztwy_GoT_sjV6B-Qta27mbEeCMNkEvwxpJx6ZFC0RN6ul71DF4czTRw7YGDu76oBgQzgxJMsH27wLyLD7aacdP9DCf3y4Vi3u-yWKFp9Goau1f6N_mPnfOigcsN2fqZo7KqlE/s320/mini-2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485986900671847074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFMSiN1CeQ5UWWMKJSriEyoxeW_VGu3PNlfvb9dpftvkiX5OTiSPCMG_7PI18WjGR-4evwU4hQnvRnHP4sIDjJ4KhCbaAKQMCnCo1fh4mTvL1-CU4xYnDCtP_09k7MjA_R-AOi5tIFSCw/s1600/mini-3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFMSiN1CeQ5UWWMKJSriEyoxeW_VGu3PNlfvb9dpftvkiX5OTiSPCMG_7PI18WjGR-4evwU4hQnvRnHP4sIDjJ4KhCbaAKQMCnCo1fh4mTvL1-CU4xYnDCtP_09k7MjA_R-AOi5tIFSCw/s320/mini-3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485987077966321778" /></a><br />We proceeded on to GaoXiong after spending 2 days in the mountains. Was really hot in GX. PX's fren's mum was the guide for this part of the journey. Really grateful for her hospitality and having to take time, effort and money to bring us around. With her help we were able to go sightseeing in Kenting, which was about 2 hrs plus drive from GX. It was here we did our first major shopping on masks and creams at Hanshin Shopping Mall and also got to know a great salegal - Yiting. She is really helpful and responsible.. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEsXF39Mdg97RXcIim6zWS14kTrw0I2WDMSQScAsf21ApGEpU-LaQAJDD40XTcIn9mEnUDObWCpKXYjLrXW6QnVSOmcXBnIRUJKgmHe0_lJGsVSrnDTV62na9vh37kSAlkOnqERs3PHE/s1600/mini-4.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUEsXF39Mdg97RXcIim6zWS14kTrw0I2WDMSQScAsf21ApGEpU-LaQAJDD40XTcIn9mEnUDObWCpKXYjLrXW6QnVSOmcXBnIRUJKgmHe0_lJGsVSrnDTV62na9vh37kSAlkOnqERs3PHE/s320/mini-4.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485987494288562930" /></a><br />Last stop of our trip is Taipei. Well is it really eat, shop, sightseeing and shop again here.. We stayed in the centre of XiMenDing which made us even more accessible to shops. We also splurged on a Gucci Bag each at Tapei 101 =p<br />All this while there was sales throughout major departmental store in Taiwan as Mother's day was around the corner..and so great buys for us too!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVaD7yku8yRwD-tf9-RpB1wtyKWzxHaEuqyIh7czghpi22o7EG4EbWp9h99spPl015JDcBZqR7lZF3LTzv8MhQlrvJdxfY7ap_sRKt2G6LcKiCX8d_WCs1Fje9yN4DY8hRFdXM999GeZA/s1600/mini-5.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVaD7yku8yRwD-tf9-RpB1wtyKWzxHaEuqyIh7czghpi22o7EG4EbWp9h99spPl015JDcBZqR7lZF3LTzv8MhQlrvJdxfY7ap_sRKt2G6LcKiCX8d_WCs1Fje9yN4DY8hRFdXM999GeZA/s320/mini-5.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485987696963601378" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbnkTzig-A7SGq0JVGzaEpR66VMXzee70f8vAjN6c1yyz5Or6s8LSYA9-qZVGb8Z04Nl4KpmZ-ZA2aMHNEXb_9KPrY1WfhDqW19S3saHCdU8DoPNwJTH5arA1bol5wcQ0fMg_vwhXSWQ/s1600/mini-6.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbnkTzig-A7SGq0JVGzaEpR66VMXzee70f8vAjN6c1yyz5Or6s8LSYA9-qZVGb8Z04Nl4KpmZ-ZA2aMHNEXb_9KPrY1WfhDqW19S3saHCdU8DoPNwJTH5arA1bol5wcQ0fMg_vwhXSWQ/s320/mini-6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485987883188709698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghhEAKq0Wtg7oM-UDtnHUSmvGRipMHlKC0Isp5oYE02M2k0STBEQbsj0jYkA4ASaeVA7030fsUTsL1lz5JYrjBxQ_n-ENKNFUWIkD6vCySsiZr9vdFXOxHFwuGfvcS-m4j_Ei3W1Jl9G8/s1600/mini-7.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghhEAKq0Wtg7oM-UDtnHUSmvGRipMHlKC0Isp5oYE02M2k0STBEQbsj0jYkA4ASaeVA7030fsUTsL1lz5JYrjBxQ_n-ENKNFUWIkD6vCySsiZr9vdFXOxHFwuGfvcS-m4j_Ei3W1Jl9G8/s320/mini-7.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485988018344259554" /></a><br />One big regret for me is that i really brought not enough cash ... regret for 3 of us.. no time for heart to heart session...<br />This trip has made me realise how much we have been missing out on each others life. Knowing each other for more than a decade and yet it seems a lot has change as we get busy with our own lifes. <br /><br />To PX & XL:<br />May our friendship last till we are old grannies.. and still we can quarrel and bicker on stuffs. This only show we care for one another.. Frens 4 ever!~ <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMz16FQ5GGkzV47d9vhoGkHV-v4U4PBzg63y0nj9f00Es2PPdtbqQ1z7ySqFSSqISVI8zeVmmUSEco1U4He-rlzdlny6Av5Ju1LJcw7XPvgj04uTeuUzR0qqogEezwSJUzmEjudYN5Cc/s1600/mini-8.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMz16FQ5GGkzV47d9vhoGkHV-v4U4PBzg63y0nj9f00Es2PPdtbqQ1z7ySqFSSqISVI8zeVmmUSEco1U4He-rlzdlny6Av5Ju1LJcw7XPvgj04uTeuUzR0qqogEezwSJUzmEjudYN5Cc/s320/mini-8.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485988161105970354" /></a>Puffy'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10593969445030014228noreply@blogger.com0
