Merry christmas everyone!It is my first Christmas away from home, celebrating with friends here in London. London has been spectacular - I have no regrets doing the Bar here, and doing it in City Law School London. Work is hectic, and that's why I haven't had any time to bake except for the ocassional cheesecake for birthdays and dinner parties. But it is Christmas holidays after all, and

yes i made a wedding cake! i won't tell you about the process and baking though... it isn't very hard... i just wanted to share a few things when making a wedding cake:1. bake your layers a few days in advance, 3 or 4. if there are a lot, you don't want to tire yourself out because then you will be more prone to mistakes. cakes can be kept fresh if you wrap them VERY VERY well. i double wrapped

i made them mooncakes! i made 15 red bean mooncakes as had been requested by my parents, and this is a tutorial on how to make them. mooncakes do not require a lot of expertise, but practice makes perfect and experience plays a huge role. it is hard to get mooncakes right the first time, read about mine here. anyway, here is my recipe and method step by step. ;) 1.

been having a lot of problems with my layout recently - from not loading to loading wrongly. i suspect it is because i blogged with my ipad and with that copied a bunch of codes that disrupted my layout. hopefully with new posts it would go away soon! also kept my promise about that red bean mooncake - will update when i can :)

i have been so MIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am supposed to come back and be able to bake all day but 1. PRICES HAVE SKYROCKETED! i get angry everytime i buy sugar because now i really know where my money goes to, because 2. i am currently interning with a political party here (also explains the voter picca) so that explains why my tools have not seen much light of day. but that does not

hello everyone, i've been gone so long! after my exams my sisters came and we went barca trippin with cousin sophie, that's why. and after that it has been go go go because my parents came, i graduated and we went more road tripping around the south of uk. after that it was moving into my new place in london where i will be commencing my professional paper, the Bar to be a qualified Barrister. so

i am done with my law degree! i'm done! i've never envisioned myself ending.. ever... and although i have another year left, everyday i realise i'm gonna stop being a student soon and i don't know if i'm ready for that! also, like i mentioned earlier, i'll be making a wedding cake for someone special, and it's my honour to do it. i'm still very scared yet excited about it - i don't know if i'll

i have not disappeared; i've merely crept under a large rock and hidden there so as to shield myself from the temptations of the outside world whilst i attempt to memorise all 5 law subjects for my final year examination. let's not talk about pressure....but because of said pressure, i've occasionally wandered out to go shopping, one vice i don't see myself letting go of; and of course blanking

happiest birthday, nick. :) recipe: Cinammon Cheesecake with Banana and Chocolate 500g soft cheese (or cream cheese; i think it is the same but soft cheese gives a way lighter and creamier texture) 1/2 brown sugar 1 1/2 tsp cinammon 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1 tbsp plain flour 1 cup single cream, reserve 1/4 cup 1 1/2 cups crushed digestive crumbs 70-90g butter, melted 1 large banana 60g milk

My apologies for having gone too long. times are not as busy as i seem to portray, but i haven't really had an hour or two to seriously unwind and blog, and suddenly it's also become tiring to because i haven't baked any substantive thing since coming. i have made all these cakes though, and they are relatively simple and simple looking as you see - i won't be dispensing recipes on these because

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won;The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.O Captain! my Captain!

why can't you see that we can share her?why can't you see that it is not a question of what you deserve and rights you are entitled to - but what is best for her? i love her as much as you love her. i don't intend you subsume you of your rights; all i am asking is that you recognise that i have as much rights because i want to work for her as much as you want to work her. and how can i do that

sigh. all things french are hard to master. french desserts have so much technique in them; so much precision that it gives a whole new meaning to baking. and for amateurs like me, it gives a new meaning to heartbreak and failures too. just yesterday i invested in a new hand mixer because i felt i just HAD.

so ironic that i literally have to sit myself down to make another post! maybe because i was waiting for a dessert to post, but whatever :) i made a blueberry pie last night - just a very small one because i only had 1 cup of blueberries on hand, which amounted to very little when it comes to making pies. i've never had a blueberry pie before, neither have i ever tasted one before so i had no

these were the last things i baked before coming back to Reading. they were a hit at home, and garrett loved them so much he had 8 in one sitting. Martha Stewart never fails hahah.

i am headed back to Reading in just about 4 days and I have mixed feelings about it. But let's not talk about it. ok.about two posts down i showed you some pictures of this tarts. They are banoffee tarts, called so because they are made out of banana and toffee. Typically topped with ice cream or whipped cream just after a generous slather of chocolate sauce, they are further sprinkled with

hello! yes i'm back to baking, but the reason why i have not been updating is simply because of the new internet connection at my place. my parents recently installed unifi, but the router is so lousy that i cannot access the internet from my room or the kitchen, where i normally am. as a result, i need to use the main PC and that has been putting me off.but rest assured that i have been trying

you would recall that i mentioned i received a baking book for my secret santa christmas present. not only is it one of the very best i have received, the book itself is apparently well known for good recipes, being endorsed by the BBC. i brought it back home with me so that i could experiment with it, and let me tell you how good it feels to have all my tools at my beck and call. i missed my

i'm home in kl! where the sun shines proper and the rain falls proper! i was so hot at first because i didn't realise how humid it was. but now i'm adjusting to the weather well and i'm confident in saying i much prefer the sun to the cold; and i much prefer sunburn to windburn! the flight was not as bad although i took airasia home. in fact it went by relatively quickly, because i slept so much

i told you it had been snowy in reading didn't i? well this was last week, and this week the snow's all cleared up. while it continues to snow everywhere, reading had only a winter wonderland for a week. even so, temperatures have been in the negative, mostly at -2C almost everyday. today is the hottest it has been in a while, at 6C being the peak. i even sweated because it was kinda warm. what

the seasons come and go so rapidly. i remember thinking the uk was warm when i first arrived, although it was mid-autumn. i remember being able to walk out in shorts without leggings, when the temperature was 16C. Well, in Reading, it seems to have become winter overnight. I've no pictures to offer simply because it was too cold to whip out my camera, and my fingers were already frozen. in fact,

i realise ever since i've come to the UK i no longer crave western food. at most i make baked chicken, pasta carbonara or pasta bolognese or cottage pie (all of which have been previously featured so i won't blog about them again). instead i just wanna eat chinese food every night! way to enjoy the culture.i think i'm starting to settle into groove with cooking here. i was torn between making

i know i haven't been updating this blog properly with food stuff, i'm sorry! looks like i'm not too adventurous with cooking after all, and i severely miss baking. i want to make a cheesecake of some sort!!!! roars! well but i suppose one of the highlights of my cooking is nasi lemak! although how i made it, i'm not too sure. first i know it wasn't as great as what i'm used to; a couple of

hello world! it's been so long since i've last seen you :) annie's cake turned out well but she's not in now so i can't get the recipe for you. KIV ok :) winter is surely coming. the winds are tree-bending and imposing. it howls, haunts and hovers insistently. cannot tahan.that has not stopped our partying though :) over the weekend the group of us went to nottingham for the malaysian games!

new and improved banana fritters, or pisang goreng. my previous batter was not crispy enough, so i decided to experiment further. as you can see, i've also deep fried them. my hallmate annie was generous enough to give us her oil because she doesn't fry that often and she loves banana fritters - must be her malaysian blood :) her mother and grandmother come from malaysia. to improve the recipe,

hello world! today is extremely gloomy =( raining the whole day. the skies are grey, the clouds look like they're not budging. sometimes on sunny days i kick myself for booking a ticket home but on rainy days like these i'm so glad to be going home to the heat. now i know how much weather can truly affect moods! when the sun shines here it's all everything is bright and shiny and positive and

i made beef lasagne today. this will be my lunch, dinner and lunch again the next day. it was hearty after the disappointment of yesterday's curry. however, i went to town again today and visited the asian shop. the things are not incredibly cheap because of the exchange rate, but they are fairly affordable, uk wise. i bought the curry powder my mummy uses! joy! now my curry will be more chinese

well i made curry chicken today. all i have to say about it is that it was really... indian. i'm not used to very strong curries, i really like my mummy's curry and i am very frustrated that i cannot duplicate it. i know her curries have no spices whatsoever, it's more golden than my darkish yellowish curry, and i have no idea how to cut off meat from the bone. i REALLY miss baking; unfortunately

all i wanna do is bake! i just wanna make a friggin chocolate cake or a cheese pie or something! problem? that means investing in a muffin pan, or a cheesecake pan, a weighing scales, measuring cups and the like; all for less than a year. when i go back for christmas i know EXACTLY what to bring back.and i want to make asam laksa! or tandoori chicken! or chicken biryani! or hokkien mee! the

it's quite depressing to cook for one, really. either you don't cook at all or you cook too much. just this weekend i visited amelia in kensington and i'm so proud of how much she's achieved on her own. it was a quiet weekend, we didn't do any shopping but we talked a lot and we shared a lot.she has time and time again, reminded me of how much i can do and how far i can go. she encourages me

well, classes have started. i'm very happy with my lecturers, but being a new place means that i am quite lazy to start studying again! but i must, this is my final year and i need to do well. i have been shopping a lot. i feel very guilty but there are always so many nice things to buy! why is the world so unkind to me?!last week we were experiencing a so-called indian summer; which meant that

i'm glad i have a recipe to offer this spot. although i don't think you can really call it a recipe at all because well, i think everyone knows how to make fried rice. but it's a quick and simple meal to prepare, and very filling as well. i randomly took anything i could find out of the fridge that belonged to nick, justin and i and made this. my mum would probably laugh at my effort but oh well!

hi mama, daddy, jiejie, lyn and garrett. i'm FINE. everything in the UK is so far turning out to my expectations except the rain. i should not speak too fast but it doesn't rain here a lot. in fact, it's very sunny. these days temperature goes up to about 23 degrees celcius. it can get pretty hot, and i can walk around without an outer jacket sometimes. Reading is a beautiful town. of course, i'm

i saw this "secret" on post secret and it jumped at me. it encouraged me, especially at this time of adjustment. just now i was talking to wai teng about home, and we got home sick for a bit. but after that we had a dinner cooked together in my hall, along with 6 or 7 other people. it was great. it was great not to feel lonely. then after i met my hall mates. i'm lucky to have them. i'm lucky to

went grocery shopping for the first time today. it was such an overwhelming experience. i've always known how to cook, but i never realised how hard it would be to buy everything for the first time. like, do i need a whisk? should i buy lemons?! back home i use these stuff, but do i really need it here?it was so overwhelming i cried, because i didn't know what to do. i didn't know how to save

i love waffles. we have a waffle maker but i've never used it. in fact i don't think we have used it in the last 10 plus years. but over a (farewell) barbeque at my place last weekend, i thought i'd take it out and give it a shot. it's a REALLY old waffle maker, probably my parent's wedding gift or something but it still works! fantastic.and i googled a recipe, added a bit of my touch, and then

i said i wasn't gonna bake till i get to the uk, but amelia asked a favour i could not refuse. she's done more for me than i can count or remember and i thought it was a good opportunity to let her know i've got her back as much as she's got mine. :)i have been experiencing some baking failures lately, but i think this has given my my mojo back. i conclude that it really depends on the quality of

i suspect i will not be updating this space for a while. probably not till i get to the uk. i've gotten my visa, packed my bags - 3/4 way at least... still have a bit more to pack. and i'm gonna get a medical checkup done this friday. all set and ready to go. so i think my next baking post may be from the uk - if i ever get the chance to bake there. if not, it'll probably be full of cooking stuff

well it is strike two for martha day. along side the new baking book, i had also purchased another recipe book from her but it seems to be that martha has a reputation of being only "okay". i made morrocan chicken couscous for dinner. granted couscous on this side of the world is close to unheard of, i reckon we don't get the best couscous here either. mine came out of a box, a pre-mix of sorts -

i've just purchased a book from Popular by Martha Day. It's a huge book on baking - all the old fashioned wonderful stuff. only RM30 so i really couldn't resist! In fact, i've already started baking from her book, cheesy garlic muffins: actually i added the garlic bits myself. unfortunately though, the picture betrays the actual verdict. these muffins were only "okay" to me, dis not taste as

i have become very excited with the Chinese dessert of guilinggao lately. When i first had it i did not care for it much because this dessert is usually quite bitter, and can only be sweetened with a layer of syrup or honey. the only thing i liked about it was its gelatine-ish properties - i love jelly!but very randomly i started to like eating guilinggao. it is essentially a herbal chinese jelly

i turn 21 today. strangely enough it feels like just any other day of the year. even pushed garrett to go home before midnight because i thought it wasn't such a big deal. as i age, birthdays get quieter, presents get fewer, and the company just sort of dwindles. every year i've had some memorable form of birthday. like when i was 17, lyn planned a surprise birthday party for me with all my good

OMG it's been such an eventful weekend. i got a new laptop - a tiny ass lenovo idea pad, only 10.1 inches in size. come to think of it, it may be a bit tooooo tiny ass. but it's so cute and sleek and convenient i couldn't resist. still getting used to it after having used my HUGE ASS PC for so long. hopefully i'll get used to the seeing the world wide web in mini soon. it's just the thing to dump

i have only been in the kitchen today. garrett came over and i hardly spent any time with him at all because i was just too busy in the kitchen. i was preparing food for the cell meeting at my place tonight and my mother conveniently threw in dinner for me to prepare too. she's terrible and i'm mighty tired.i tried to make another kueh again, called kuih kosui. it is a palm sugar glutinous kueh,

omg so many things happening all at once! i need to make my visa! but my results transcripts took so long to come (like, one month!) and now that it's finally here, my name on it is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i feel like killing someone. i have so much rage about it, so i think it's best not to get started at all. now that i have to wait for new transcripts, i have no idea how long i have to wait now.

well i've finally done it! i made seri muka today. surprisingly, it was not as hard as i thought it would be. frankly speaking, it is probably one of the easiest "kueh" to make. my friend marius, who has just come from south africa asked me today what "kueh" is when i told him about it and i didn't know how to answer! i just told him that it was some kinda malaysian pastry, which i suppose is the

i have a real problem when it comes to baking butter cakes. even my mother has acknowledged that. my butter cakes never come out as fluffy as a good butter cake should, and hardens when it gets colder from the dense-ness of the cake. i've tried various different methods to correct it, but to no avail. the problem really seeps in when i use a whole block of butter. so depressing.anyway, everyone

it's been such a long time since i've had my girlfriends back all at once, or at least - most of them. xuemei is not home, but amelia's come home after one year and a half in the uk; grace came back for her bi-annual visit - but i doubt she'll be home as often anymore; sooks came home for the second time this year, but i think i'll see her only in the next 5 years or so. with all of them gone, it

i've been meaning to blog for a while but i always get so preoccupied when i'm online. well, my offer letter has arrived via email - i have approximately 10 weeks left in this country. things are gonna get exciting!a while back i expressed that i would love to experiment more with local and chinese delights. for some reason i'm still a bit afraid to venture into those things because of high

well i have finally completed my three weeks of attachment at legal aid. the experience is bittersweet - i loved going to NGOs and discovering more and more about what malaysians are doing for the marginalised. i was exposed what the government is doing, and what the government is not. i was made aware of how passionate malaysians are in fighting for their causes. but most of all i learnt lessons

my friend jason is getting married in the uk in just about 2 hours. garrett and i will be watching his wedding with his wife-to-be, simone via live telecast as we can't be in the uk at this time to celebrate with him. i knew jason a little earlier before i knew garrett. i suppose you could say i knew garrett through jason as they were very close friends in high school. that was ages ago. hahaha.

well i think this is my longest baking hiatus to date. even when i was plagued with exam fever i didn't take such a long break. nonetheless inspiration comes at any given time and when it strikes, it strikes. i suppose part of the hiatus is to do having no more ingredients left at home.attachment at the legal aid has so far been incredibly eye-opening. from day one, law students are only exposed

hello world!just about recovering from my flu bout, but i still have some phelgm in me. yuckzz. don't you hate phelgm? i hate phelgm. it's yuckzz. i wanted to announce that this space will be quiet for a while. i've just started my attachment at the legal aid centre, and it'll take me 3 weeks to complete. but i'm not baking because i haven't the itch. and i haven't the itch because i'm perfectly

if you observe the cupcakes i make, you would realise that i generally stay away from fondant, marzipan, sugar paste and the like. well not only is it expensive and very much a chore to make (because it's hard to get the right stretchy consistency), i think that it also tastes pretty bad. it's the part you would peel off before jumping into the cake; but also the part that will hinder you from

i love pie. pie makes the world go round. pies are great to entertain with - they are old-fashioned and homey and satisfying. unlike cakes, which may be too formal; or cupcakes, which may be too whimsical. pies are just nice.there are many things to do with apples in a pie in particular. apple pie, apple crumble, apple strudel, apple crumble pie, french apple tart, apple custard tart, and this

so garrett celebrated his 22th on the 22nd of may. it also marked the second year we've been dating. normally we go out for a private dinner between us, but this year we decided that a steamboat dinner would be best. he invited a bunch of his closest friends, and some of mine and we sat down for a good meal. and as promised, this is chocolate hazelnut cheesecake recipe. :) before we start, let me

i'm done with year 2 of law school! after like countless years taking exams, it's hard to believe that this will probably be my second last time of taking them! next thing you know i'm off to work! earning my own money to buy beautiful shoes *sighs*.international law marked my last paper, and right after that garrett and i went for a carl's junior dinner that was like the first in a few couple of

just over a year ago, i went on a trip to vietnam with my law school mates. it was a fun experience, pretty eye-opening but the shopping at ben thanh market was not as great as hyped about! anyway when we were there we did various things: visit the courts, shopped quite a bit, went to the infamous cu-chi tunnels, helped out at a buddhist orphanage, and of course ate.here we are that the new

well my first paper, equity and trusts, is in a week's time and... i think i'm quite ready, but still have to brush up on memory work. i think i'm almost there! :)some weekends ago, i had a closet revamp. not in the sense of changing my clothes, just in the sense that.. my closet was "architecturally" revamped. my dilemma started off with the fact that i have 70 (yes, 70 - don't act so shocked;

the funny thing about me is that i've been baking, although i've declared a baking hiatus. over the weekend, garrett had a small party for which i baked dessert because i knew that people don't often bring desserts to a pot luck. normally i'm the always the one bringing dessert... anyway although i wasn't there, i did take advantage of the party to try making a dessert i've always wanted to make!
