Last night, my little one before going to bed suddenly told me that he wanted to bring muffins for school recess tomorrow.

Wholemeal Curry Potato buns 全麦咖哩马铃薯面包 (adpated from Wu Pao Chun's champion toast recipe) (中英食谱教程)


最近介绍大家做的吴宝春金牌吐司面很受欢迎。许多朋友,网友, FB粉丝和部落格的读者试过了都纷纷赞好,说这是一个极简单又很棒的面包食谱。除了做吐司,这食谱也可以用来做小面包。 今天就和大家分享我昨天做的全麦咖哩马铃薯面包, 加了全麦面粉,吃了更健康。 今早当早餐吃时,还很蓬松柔软,超喜欢! 




Ever since I introduced this Wu Pao-Chun's Champion Toast recipe in my blog, many friends, cyber friends, FB fans and my blog readers have tried it and gave thumbs up for this simple and straight forward bread recipe. We love the soft and fluffy bread texture which this recipe yields. Besides making loaf bread, you can also make small buns with or without fillings. I have modified this recipe, added wholemeal flour to it to make it more wholesome. Here's sharing with you the wholemeal curry potato buns which I made yesterday. I ate it for breakfast this morning and the bun texture still remain as soft as it had just came out from the oven! Simply love it!

One week March school holiday has ended, I am so glad that the kids are back to school today. Last night, I baked this loaf of matcha white chocolate bread using the breadmaker so that my kids can bring to school for breakfast. I have added my favourite Matcha powder and white chocolate chips to Wu Pao Chun's (吴宝春) champion toast recipe which I tried few days ago. This is my first time trying this combination of Matcha and white chocolate and it turns out great!

My second attempt of piping a doll face birthday cake 第二次做洋娃娃脸裱花蛋糕


Few days ago, I made my second doll cake for a close friend, Lois, from church. She had showed my first doll cake to her daughter when I posted it on my facebook baking page two weeks ago. Her daughter likes it and requested it for her birthday on 13 March. Lois immediately placed an order with me and requested for the doll to wear a pair of eyeglasses as her daughter is bespectacled. I was hesitant about drawing the eyeglasses as I wasn't sure if it would look good on the doll cake. Later, Lois also commented that the eyeglasses if drawn over may spoil the look since the eyes look so big and lively. So, we dropped the idea.

$5000 bread recipe (breadmaker to make starter dough and main dough) 五千块老式面包食谱(面包机做酵头和主面团)中英食谱



Finally, I tried this $5000rmb bread recipe which many bakers give thumbs up for it's super soft texture. I have adpated and modified the recipe from Victoria Bakes and used my Kenwood breadmaker to knead both the starter dough and main dough. With the breadmaker, it is really easy as no hand kneading is required at all.

Cute Caterpillar Cookies Tutorial Recipe 可爱毛毛虫造型饼干​ (中英食谱教程)



Two days ago, I have planned originally to do a dual tone ring cookies which will look like a lifebuoy. After preparing the ingredients and mixing it into a cookie dough. My intention was still the same. Until I was rolling the dough into little balls,an inspiration strikes me!I decided to transform the little balls into cute caterpillars. Initially, I wanted to use a toothpick to stick the balls together to form the body of the caterpillar but didn't like the stiff look. I was also concerned about safety as the toothpick may accidentally poke the mouth if you are not careful when eating it. I dropped the idea and just pushed the little dough balls tightly together, good thing the dough was quite soft so it could stick well. I bent the body a little to make it look more alive. After baking, the body remains intact. However, I would advise you to handle it with cares so that each segment will not drop apart. To give away, I carefully wrapped each cookie individually with bubble wrap. 
Hope you will have fun making this cookie as much as I do. :) 

前两天,我原本打算跟着孟老师的100多道手工饼干食谱做双色圈饼。准备材料,并搅拌弄成饼干面团后。我的目的仍然是相同的。直到我把面团分成小球时,突然灵感一来,就将小球变成可爱的毛毛虫了。起初,我本想用牙签把球串在一起,形成毛毛虫的身体,但又觉得这样毛毛虫看起来会有点僵硬。而且我也担心会刺到孩子的嘴巴。还好面团是软软的,比较容易粘在一起,我才可以将虫身体弄弯曲一点,使它看起来更有活力。烘烤后,必须小心翼翼的从烤盘转移到铁网架上放凉,不然粘在一起的小球,很容易掉出来。我用气泡衬垫一个一个包裹,送给朋友的女儿,她很喜欢。
希望你做这饼干造型时,跟我一样开心。:)

My first attempt of piping a doll face birthday cake 第一次做洋娃娃脸裱花蛋糕


My good friend cum sister from my church cellgroup asked me two weeks ago if I could bake her daughter a simple matcha birthday cake. My reply was I have never bake one before and am not sure how it would taste like. I am thankful that she trusted me and left everything to me. Her only request was that azuki red beans (which pairs very well with matcha cake) not to be used at all as her girl does not like it.

Orange Yogurt Pound Cake Tutorial Recipe 柳橙优格磅蛋糕 (中英食谱教程)


I grew up eating Sara Lee's pound cake. It's iconic delicious and rich butter pound cake is not unfamiliar with most who can easily spot it in the frozen dessert section in the supermarket. Before I started baking, I would always stock up a few loaf trays of frozen Sara Lee's assortment pound cakes in my freezer as it makes a quick breakfast and great snacks for my family.

Matcha Macarons with Dark Chocolate Ganache (Pierre Hermes Italian Method) Tutorial Recipe


It's been a long time, more than a year, since I last attempted to make macarons. The first time was a total failure, there were no feet at all and many shells were cracked. The second attempt which was my last attempt, turned out better than the first. Half of the shells showed feet but that's only halfway to a successful tray of macarons. I stopped trying after that as firstly, I am not a macaron fan, secondly, there are so many other recipes to try out in my long to-bake-and-try list. Lastly, I am not confident of getting those pretty feets out.

Caramel Pudding Cake 焦糖布丁蛋糕 (中英食谱教程)



The caramel pudding cake is a cake with three different textures. It reminds me of the Matcha Magic Custard Cake which I made sometime ago. The method of making these two cakes differ totally. The caramel pudding cake has a caramel top followed by pudding and a sponge cake base, It is a delectable cake which you would not stop after a mouthful and best eaten chilled. 
糖布丁蛋糕是一款有三层不同质感的蛋糕。它令我想起之前做的抹茶魔术卡士达蛋糕。这两款蛋糕的做法完全不同,不过都很美味,吃了一口之后,会想要再来一口。糖布丁蛋糕的特点是您可以同时享受焦糖,布丁和海绵蛋糕三种不同口感的甜点,而且也是一生必吃的超人气名点呢!

‘心太软’巧克力蛋糕 Molten Lava Chocolate Cake Tutorial Recipe (中英食谱教程)


The Molten Lava Chocolate Cake also known as the Fondant Au Chocolat cake has been on my to-bake list for a long time. As the list kept growing longer and longer, I haven't got a chance to try it as there is always something else which took priority instead. I finally thought about it when my dear hubby requested for a non-creamy cake for his birthday.

'Famous Amos' Almond and Chocolate Chip Cookie 杏仁巧克力饼干 (中英食谱教程)



The first day of the Lunar New Year will arrive in four days time. This year I have very little time to bake up a storm of chinese new year goodies like I did last year as my new dry kitchen has just completed renovation last week. I have wanted to make the all time favourite melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts but I do not have much time. I have chosen a simple cookie recipe to bake for my family. This cookie is a Famous Amos copycat.
