I hope you are not tired of seeing another Matcha post from me. I love anything Matcha and would gladly accept the title of "Matcha Queen" if it's bestowed upon me...lol! Today I am sharing this special Watermelon Frozen roll cake which I have made for my birthday yesterday. It was really challenging especially working on the raspberry and cream fillings on a hot day and taking photos at the same time, but thank God I made it successfully! It is such a refreshing and delicious cake and did satisfied my cravings for frozen desserts in this warm season! 

昨天是我的生日,给自己做了这创意冰心的蛋糕卷,用的是全天然材料无色素。在炎热的气候,做这款蛋糕还蛮有挑战性的。 我还得一面做,一面拍照,动作要非常快,因为眼看面前的冰陷急速溶化,弄得我好紧张呦!还好能成功做出来!除了对切蛋糕的技术还待有进步,我还是
很满意这次的作品。这抹茶蛋糕搭配了覆盆子冰馅,真的很好吃,冰冰凉凉的,清爽不腻口,很适合消暑喔!

Homemade Matcha Kit-Kat 自制抹茶巧克力Kit-Kat (中英食谱教程)


My kids and I really love eating Matcha kit kat. The love started when I bought a few cartons of this sweet treats back during my Japan trip 2 years ago. We are glad that it is available locally and buy it often to satisfy our cravings. Few days ago, my girl asked me if I could replicate this at home and I thought it would be fun to give it a try! So, here's sharing with you my copycat version, the first three steps are similar to making Matcha Nama Chocolate which I have shared earlier on (Click on the name or image below for the recipe) and the end result tastes amazingly close to the real Matcha kit-kat! 

家里的小孩和我都很喜欢吃宇治抹茶巧克力Kit Kat,前几天女儿问我是否能在家自制这款零食,我就尝试做了这山寨版的 ,做法的前三个步骤跟之前做的抹茶生巧克力相似。(可点击名称或以下的照片看食谱) 味道还蛮像真的宇治抹茶巧克力Kit Kat,好开心喔!

As mentioned before, due to the warm weather, I am making ice-cream more frequently and constantly thinking what flavour I should try next. Looking at the matcha cookies which I baked last week, it gave me an inspiration to incorporate it into my favourite homemade vanilla ice-cream and hence the birth of this deliciously good matcha cookies ice-cream!

Matcha Milk Pudding 抹茶牛奶布丁(中英食谱教程)



Ever since my kids tried the famous milk pudding (shaped like a jumping ball with a white skin which has to be pricked open before consuming) at Taiwan Miaoli Flying Cow Ranch (台湾苗栗飞牛牧场) during our farm stay two years ago, they fell in love with this chilled dessert. 

Due to the warm weather, my kids have been asking for cold desserts so I made these simple and healthy homemade version of milk pudding in Matcha flavour as my family are great Matcha lovers! The texture is so smooth and velvety and pairing it with cooked azuki red beans will give it an even better taste. 

我家的小朋友自从在台湾苗栗的飞牛牧场尝过那儿的球形牛奶布丁后,就爱上了
这道滑嫩甜品最近天气实在太热了,孩子们一直吵着要吃冷甜品,所以就想到做这简易又健康的牛奶布丁,加上了清新微苦的抹茶,搭配着香甜的蜜红豆​,口感更丰富!

Earl Grey Tea Loaf 伯爵茶面包(中英食谱教程)




It's been a long time since I shared a breadmaker recipe. I have not forsaken my Kenwood breadmaker, it is still working hard for me baking loaf bread twice a week. I have not shared a new breadmaker recipe as I have been sticking to my basic loaf using the Wu Pao Chun Champion Toast breadmaker recipe.  Being the host for this month's Little Thumbs Up event with the theme 'Tea', I decided to try out a Tea Bread recipe (茶叶面包)from a recipe book - 我爱面包机 (I Love Breadmaker). I have chosen to use Earl Grey tea. According to Wikipedia, Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive citrus flavour and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit. The loaf turns out wonderfully aromatic and tasty!

Matcha Nama Chocolate 抹茶生巧克力 (中英食谱教程)


It was almost 2 years ago that I made the Royce copycat Nama Chocolate. Yesterday, I attempted to make another Royce's copycat - Matcha Nama Chocolate which has the aroma and bitterness of green tea. If you ask me which one taste better, it would be difficult to make a choice as both are equally good! This quick and simple recipe is definitely worth trying!
