Sugar Buns

At the request of the kids, these were baked. Still much healthier than the store bought sugar buns which are typically ladened with much more sugar than this.

Birthday Log

Lor Mai Kai 2

Once in a while, I would prepare some Lor Mai Kai for the family as our afternoon snack. They enjoy them very much.

Easy to prepare but a little more work as my wok could only accommodate 3 bowls at any one time. So, I had to steam them over 3 sessions.

Homemade Hakka Abacus

My dad's favorite and mine too though we are not Hakka. :)

As it was meant for healthy home consumption, I omitted the black sauce and hence a much lighter shade you see here.

Homemade Mini Milk Bite

See the miniature buns? Mini Milk Bite, if you would. The kids love them for tea breaks. One pop for one mouthful~ They are also convenient snacks to pack for picnics.

Another swimming medal - 2012!

The proudest moment indeed. Nic came in 3rd at the school swimming carnival 2012, despite little training. She did swim 3 to 5 laps 2 days before the event and we thought, with that effort, it would be miracles if she could bag a medal.

To our greatest joy, and thank God, Nicole made it! This Bronze medal would pair very nicely with the Silver medal won last year.

Biscotti

Just some of my regular giveaways to neighbours.

Homebaked Char Siew 3

We couldnt have enough of it.

Patterned ice cream roll

Baked this durian ice cream roll for a friend's BBQ. Glad it was very well received :)

Baked Alaska

First attempt at it. It would have been more presentable if I had the torch to burn the meringue. I had to make do by pre-baking the meringue in the oven in order to achieve an even coating… Errh....!

Marble Chiffon Cake

Cottony Chiffon Cake. The kids loved them to bits as they simply melt in the mouth.

Strawberry Shortcake trial

In preparation for Sarah's birthday….

Eclair and Macaron Cream Puff

Did these prior to our trip, at the request of the kids. Made them in the shape of Macarons. Dont they look lovely?

Assortment

A beautiful assortment of buns - soft wholemeal which would still get pass the palate of the fussy eaters :)

More eating n shopping

Now, I was really impressed by the young but highly skilled chefs. They were all very well trained in everyway. This is what I term as great service, great food! (We skipped the great Sake as we still wanted to shop…..haha)

A similar meal in Singapore would cost easily S$150 per head.
