I have finally tried all the four chiffon cake recipes given in Keiko Ishida’s book – vanilla, black sesame, matcha and kinako (soybean). We (okay, more like TBH) really overdosed on chiffon cakes the last couple of weeks. Of them, I
Remembrance Of Things Past
For a long while, I have been meaning to take a photo of the one-storey house along Thomson Ridge where I grew up in. I had lived there with my maternal grandparents from the time I was brought home from
Pho-to: The Search Is Over
かんこくのバナナミルクは だいすきです。毎日 このバナナミルクを のんでいます。 After a long seach, I have finally found the Bingrae Banana Milk in Shine Supermarket at Burlington Square. I lugged a box of 24 cartons back home. I have been craving for this milk like junkies craving for a drug
Simple Swiss Roll
First Swiss Roll attempt on my own! Not very pretty, but oh well….きれいじゃないです。 I baked a brown sugar roll with Kok a couple of weekends ago. But I was more of a hindrance in the kitchen than help. I love
Happy Nutella Day
Today is Nutella Day. Two ladies came up with World Nutella Day five years ago where chocolate hazelnut spread lovers are invited to celebrate World Nutella Day by submitting something relating to Nutella – be it a photo of them
Lo Hei

Gaejang
Raw crabs marinated with soybean sauce and/or red pepper and served cold. I tried this for the first time in an eatery in Suncheon. I understand that this dish is usually served as a banchan but this eatery serves it
Old World Coffee, Prawn Noodles & Kedongdong Juice
Enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at Chin Mee Chin with a book. I was looking forward to eating their custard puffs and was disappointed that they didn’t have any. 🙁 I don’t think their coffee, kaya toast and pastries are fantastic.
Dining Out: Cocotte
Dinner at Cocotte. Finally got a table after several attempts to get one in the past weeks. Kick-started dinner with some appetizers — which were not too bad but nothing to shout about — and a tiny glass of wine.
Blueberry Muffins & Sea Cucumber Gunk
My fridge has been smelling really bad for a week or so. Everytime we open the fridge, we have this funny seawater-ish smell going up our nostrils. For a while, I thought the foul smell was a mixture of kimchi
Black Sesame Chiffon Cake
I’m in a baking mood. I love the black sesame flavour. Black sesame gelato, the Chinese dessert, black sesame cream, tangyuan with black sesame filling. Sometimes, I like to sprinkle my rice with some black sesame seeds. Now, I can
Vanilla Chiffon Cake
I love chiffon cakes. Bengawan Solo’s pandan chiffon cake is my favourite followed by Tampopo Deli’s cheese chiffon cake. Eversince I ate the cheese chiffon cake last week, I can’t seem to get chiffon cakes out of my mind. So
