Quick & Easy Moist Gluten-Free Brownies 简易湿润无麸质布朗尼 （中英加图食谱）

It's been a long time since I last shared a recipe here. These days I'm busier guiding my boy who is in the Gifted education programme (GEP) on top of doing my endless household chores. 

Well, this doesn't mean that I've stopped baking or sharing recipes. I'm still active in sharing recipes as well as my food adventures but over at Instagram (IG). So do click 'HERE' and follow me on Instagram if you would like to see more frequent and active updates from me. :) Now and then, I will share videos of my food preparations in IG stories which last for 24 hours after posting, you can also find the past IG videos at the highlights where my Instagram bio is.

Here's sharing a really simple brownie recipe which I've baked last Friday for my boy's 11th birthday. A gluten-free and fuss free recipe as no mixer is required at all! 

Homemade Cendol 自制煎蕊 （中英加图对照食谱）

I have done up this post for those who wish to try out my new creation - Non-bake Cendol Cheesecake but can't find cendol selling at their local supermarkets. 

Homemade Leopard Print Tokyo Banana- 自制豹纹东京香蕉蛋糕（中英食谱）

The first time I heard of Tokyo Banana was before I went for my vacation in Osaka in 2013, my nephew Darren had asked me to buy it if I see it in Osaka. Unfortunately, I could not find it in Osaka, not even at the Kansai International Airport.

Tokyo Banana (東京ばな奈) is a Japanese souvenir sweet of Tokyo, a banana shaped sweet full of banana custard wrapped in a fluffy sponge. It is considered a top souvenir and must buy when one visits Tokyo. 

I happened to see a homemade version of the Tokyo banana at a chinese blog recently and decided to give it a try. Please pardon my not so nice drawing of the leopard print on my first attempt. Nonetheless, the taste is good and not too sweet like the original version. The kids love it and we finished the 9 pieces all in one go! 

Taiwanese Pineapple Tarts 台湾凤梨酥 (中英食谱）

 

I recently returned from a great vacation in Taiwan, a country with warm and friendly people and great food too! Barely a week from returning, my kids are already missing it and so do I. This morning, I decided to bake something that would bring back the nice memories we had during our holidays.

Light Cotton Yogurt Cake

We have often heard of the Japanese light cotton cheesecake but this is the first time that I have come across a light cotton yogurt cake. So I baked it out of curiosity, the result indeed is like the more well known cake, soft and light. If you want to try something different, I would recommend this recipe to you.

Japanese Cotton Cheesecake 日式芝士蛋糕 (中英食谱）

This is another popular Japanese dessert which my family loves. Before I picked up baking, we used to buy it from Breadtalk or Ichiban Sushi outlets which sells the Fiesta Japanese Cheesecake. I remember during my younger days, I love to eat the all rage 'Miki Ojisan No Mise Cheesecake' (also known as the cheesecake with an imprint of the cartoon chef with closed eyes) from Paragon. Back then, this light cheesecake was so popular that there was always a long queue to buy it. Somehow, this brand has not withstood the test of time and has faded into the background. Now to get a fix of this childhood favourite, one would have to head down to Jason’s Market Place in Raffles City. Since I can bake my own now, I can bake it anytime when I have a craving for it. :p
