my little favourite DIY

This is a tasty savory scone. When i saw this in Joyce's blog  i know i am going to bake it. Bacon, cheddar cheese and chives is what i love. When i run through the ingredients, i saw creme fraiche. Creme fraiche over here is quite expensive and buying a pack is too much. Thanks to Joyce for sharing a home made creme fraiche. Why not DIY you own creme fraiche.

It's Bake-Along time again. This round we are baking Croissant.  A friend ask my boy: Do you like Croissant?                    My boys: Yes, we do.                   My friend: Do you buy them from the bakery often?                My second: No, we don't cause my mummy can bake well....                           Me:  LOL (i don't really bake that well, i am only an amateur :D ) Croissant have always in my to bake list.

Love the flaky layers so much!!.    抱了这个食谱很久了。很想学着试做做看但是总是没勇气 ，kiasu嘛！哈哈！ 这是我的处女作哦！还好家人和孩子都给了我鼓励。送了我好多好多小拇指。。呵呵！选择这个食谱的原因是食谱材料不多样，示范的是林绣美老师（我个人很喜欢她的食谱），...

This is a all time favourite flavour，Pandan flavour. Knowing that Fion is baking Pandan Chiffon for today bake and post together, i baked this fail proof chiffon. I found this recipe in a cookbook and the original recipe is a chocolate chiffon. I like this recipe a lot and it bakes up really wonderful chiffon so i tweet it a little and bake it into a Pandan chiffon. 每人都爱的班兰口味。这是个不失败的班兰戚风。 液体不多，蛋黄糊也不太粘。把蛋白霜拌入时很顺利也不容易消泡。原食谱是做巧克力戚风，就把食谱做了一点调整做了个班兰口味。 I found that a naked cake look a bit boring。。。lol   Why not give it a little make over, with cream and some fresh kiwi and strawberry and a blueberry.  Not only it look pretty, i can also share this to Little Thumbs Up, June event, our theme is CREAM :D 想着想着，没装饰的戚风很单调。就来个装饰，加上鲜奶油和新鲜奇异果，草莓和一粒蓝莓。。 :D Fion, 这个就是特地，为你准备的 ：D Due to my small heart shape chiffon tube pan, i have extra batter into a small square cupcake case.

It's June! Time files!! We are having 2 days holidays (1/6, 2/6) in Sarawak to celebrate Hari Gawai.  Hari Gawai is celebrated by the natives of Sarawak, the Dayaks or Ibans for a week marking the ending of the paddy harvesting season and usher into a whole new year for another planting season. There is singing, dancing for the celebration and also a considerable drinking of 'Tuak' (their signature rice wine) in the local longhouses. Ibans who works outside their village will returned to join the celebration with their families. It is like a family yearly reunion. ****************************************************************************************** Back to Little Thumbs Up event.
