Recipe • Orh Nee (Teochew Yam Paste Dessert)

Image
This traditional Teochew dessert recipe, Orh Nee , is taught to me by my Mum aka My Mum's Recipe. She's Teochew and loves her yam paste dessert! (♡˙︶˙♡) I beg to differ when she told me it was easy to make this dessert! After we finished making our Orh Nee, she agreed that it wasn't that easy afterall. Lol! 😅 But glad we did it! And reason why it wasn't easy was because this was our first attempt and we did everything manually, 纯手工! No blender! So tedious and engrossed we were while preparing, I actually forgot to take photos of some cooking steps and I stepped away to fetch Mini K from his kindergarten halfway through. Will update the missing photos when I make this dessert again! And you know the saying,"一次生,两次熟"...subsequent tries will be easier (and less messy)! (╹◡╹)♡  Due to the time and effort that went into composing this recipe, k indly do not claim recipe as your own.  If you would like to share on your blog or any other social media pl...

Travel • Shiro-Hige Cream Puff Shop (Dec 2017)

Image
This is a quick post of our visit to Shiro-hige Cream Puff Shop last December, which is also known as Totoro Cream Puff shop. There was some construction along the way from Setagaya-Daita station then. However, you won't miss this TOLO signboard. While we were not the biggest fan of this character from Studio Ghibli's animation, we still put it in our itinerary simply because "we were already in Tokyo and we missed it on our previous Tokyo trip!" (*_*) FOMO? Whatever. Anyway I booked us a visit to Suntory Brewery  (⬅Click to read more) that afternoon, since the route was pretty straight forward from the cream puff shop, I decided to put these two on the same day. Ain't they adorable? It was well worth a trip to this tiny bakery, unlike some character cafes which served gimmicky food, these cream puffs were big and delicious! We bought their regular flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry & Vanilla custard (Or was it Chocolate, Green Tea & ...

Recipe • No-Mixer Best Blueberry and Choc Chips Muffins

Image
Today I'm sharing a muffin recipe that's really good! Like Rachelle from Bear Naked Food  said, they really are the best tasting blueberry muffins! Soft and not too sweet, the kids liked the crispy top too, thanks to the raw sugar topping! This recipe is a keeper but on my first attempt, quite a number of the muffins overflowed while baking, possibly due to over mixing. The nicer ones from first attempt ^.^ So on second attempt I tried without using electric mixer. Result: taste was not compromise, still as good! 2nd attempt, without using electric mixer :) (Non-Mixer) Best Blueberry and Choc Chips Muffins (╹◡╹)♡ If you tried any recipes on my humble blog and would like to share on your blog or any other social media platforms, please copy and include the URL so it'll link back to me.
