Cocoa Bread ~ 可可吐司

Having white bread all the time? Would you like to have a change? Have a cocoa bread instead. It is really just another bread which is bake by adding 15 grams of cocoa powder. I used 15 grams of unsweetened  chocolate powder instead, The smell of chocolate is so good. Every bite give you the feeling like biting into a chocolate bar which is not because this is a bread...lol   We spread it with chocolate spread or nutella .... yummilicious!

这换上黑衣裳的土司感觉还蛮不错!!
香香浓浓的可可味再抹上巧克力奶油无以伦比呢!
Slices of mini Cocoa bread with a cup of Kopi O (black cofee)
Kids bring this to school for the break time snack.
This cocoa bread uses a straight dough method but it yield a very soft bread. My kids like to spread Nutella but i like it just on it own. 
Spread with butter taste so good too!  Mmmm..Yum!






This is the cocoa bread dough before and after the first rise.

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus.
