I received a small pack of pickled sakura from   Sonia   last two weeks. When i was shopping in her 'Kedai Runcit' i asked her did she sell pickled sakura? She told me she did not sell that but she can give me some. I am so delighted :) when she told me that. She is so generous to share some of her pickled sakura with me.... 很开心 ^-^ 在两个星期前收到Sonia寄来的蛋糕分切器和她送的盐渍樱花.  当时我问她的 'Kedai Runcit' 有没有卖盐渍樱花吗?  非常亲切又大方的她说'没,不过可以送你一些!' 太好了, 高兴呢...

Last few weeks, we went books hunting at a book store.  My boys wanted to get some story books and me at usual :p will browse around the recipe books corner. While browsing through the recipe books, i saw Kelvin Chai's new book..'ButterCake.. I love butter cake too2' Thinking my mum loves butter cake (i loves it too :D) , i brought the book home. My mum loves loves loves butter cake. She loves the buttery scented and moist butter cake. She prefer butter cake more than sponge cake, simply because butter cake is more moist....:D 我老妈超爱奶油/牛油蛋糕. 她说海棉蛋糕吃了要喝多多水,因为会比较干....哈哈! 我想想那可能是她爱奶油蛋糕多过海棉蛋糕吧!! 上上上个周末带了宝贝们逛书局, 看到了 Kelvin老师的新书'我也爱牛油蛋糕'. 想到老妈爱吃牛油蛋糕(其实我也爱..:p) 就把书败回家哩!!   This is the first butter cake i tried from this book, Double Colour Charcoal Butter Cake. It is very moist and full of buttery taste. While i was slicing the cake, Seanan was playing beside the dinning table with a toy. Marty the zerba, one of a cartoon movie character in 'Madagascar. Whe...

  This designer chocolate baby grands is a winner in my house. All of my three boys loves it..:p Just b efore i bake these pretty cupcakes i have browsing through a few blogs to see how to and how do my blogger friends do these cupcakes. I totally agreed with Zoe after reading her post on these designer chocolate baby grands that it is like running a marathon. Like what she mention there are 3 components, while baking the cupcake i have to prepare the chocolate ganache and after that is the lacquer finish. I am challenging myself to this and i enjoyed it..XD The cupcake is to be filled only under half full as it will rise up. I filled mine under half full. Maybe my muffin baking pan is the petite ones. I had baked 36 of the petite cupcakes. I can't get good quality cooking chocolate here. The best i can get is cadbury or hershey. But if i get from Brunei i can get Lindt or something better. This time i used cadbury. The cupcake is moist and nice!! I...
