Banana Blueberry Yogurt Pound Cake 香蕉蓝莓优格磅蛋糕 (中英加图对照食谱)



I haven't bake a pound cake for quite some time and decided to try a new flavour. Since I've got honey greek yogurt, bananas and blueberries at home, I decided to combine these ingredients to bake a healthy one, at the same time try out my new Mastrad Savarin Cake pan. This cake turns out moist even though butter is cut substantially. This is due to the generous amount of Greek-style yogurt and mashed bananas which are healthy substitutes for fat in this recipe. 

好久没烤磅蛋糕了,也想尝试新口味, 就做了这健康的香蕉蓝莓优格磅蛋糕。这食谱用了大量的希腊式优格和香蕉,所以即使奶油的份量减了许多,蛋糕的质感依然湿润。

Bak Kwa Cookies 肉干曲奇 (中英加图对照食谱)


Today is the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. In two days time, it will mark the seventh day of the first month on the Lunar calendar, traditionally known as 'Renri' (人日)which means the common man's birthday and everyone grows one year older. Coincidentally, 14 February is also the western Valentine's Day. 

I have made some heart-shaped bak kwa (pork jerky) cookies specially for my dear hubby. Bak Kwa is a traditional and popular Chinese New Year snack food in Singapore and Malaysia to welcome the prosperity of the coming year and are often bought as lavish gifts for friends and family. Due to a super busy schedule, I do not have the time to prepare my own Homemade Bak Kwa this year. I have used store-bought ones for this recipe and the savoury cookies turned out to be flavorful and tasty. Do give it a try when you have the time. Here's wishing everyone an advance 'Happy Birthday' and 'Happy Valentine's Day'! 

再过两天就是农历正月初七,是人日也恰巧是西方情人节。我做了些心形肉干曲奇送给老公。这咸味的手做饼干又美味又可口,有空大家也试一试吧!在此先预祝大家人日快乐,情人节快乐!

Guest Blogger CNY baking workshop (1) with Baker's Brew Studio on 31 January 2016




Last evening, I conducted my first guest blogger workshop with Baker's Brew Studio and the participants had a great hands-on session baking the Melt-In-The-Mouth Pineapple Tart in fun shapes - Monkey, Piggy, Rose and Pineapple. Actually we did more than these designs as there were request for dog, porcupine, cat etc. Wow! I was being 'challenged' to come up with something that I have not tried before! On the spot, I came up with the impromptu designs, glad I passed the 'test'...LOL!!! 


This is one my impromptu design


Happy to know that everyone had fun and enjoyed the class. Here's sharing some photos taken during the workshop.
