He is 11 years old now, and Genoise sponge

I baked a coffee sponge cake for my son Lucas 11th Birthday few days ago. There was no big party held this time since I just organized one last year. I just prepared his favorite nasi lemak (a truly nasi lemak lover’s son,hehehe ) and fried chicken. He is big boy now and no longer wants a cake decorate with cartoon character. He is started to know how to enjoy a cup of good coffee, am thinking to get a coffee maker soon.

Mixed fruits pastry cake, Encore! Fruity March

I would like to submit this mixed fruits pastry cake to Aspiring Baker#5 : Fruity March hosted by Bakericious before the last day of closing. I baked this cake for my sister-in-law family from Kuantan who came to visit me and stay a night with us. I know this type of cake is suitable for them, as it is less oily, not too sweet and very refreshing with all mixed fruits.

Homemade crispy fried shallots

When i first learn how to cook, fried shallots is one of the recipe that i learn first as we like to sprinkle fried shallots on Hokkien mee,dried sauce noodles, fried tapioca noodles, hand-pulled noodles,prawn mee & etc. Thought fry shallots should be easy, just fry the shallots slices in hot oil, but to get cripsy shallots, after i tried for few times, I still could not get the crispy shallots like my mom use to be prepared. After learned from my mom, there are few tips to get crispy shallots. Maybe you already know how, but I would like to share here as to benefit for those still try to figure out how.

Vietnamese Spicy Lemongrass Chicken 越式香茅鸡

Mongolian chicken, 2 dishes plus 1 soup event

When i know Cuisine Paradise hosting the 2 dishes plus 1 soup event / $20 budget meal event, i know i have no problem to participate this event. Usually I will prepare 2-3 dishes plus 1 soup or no soup for daily dinner. If $20 is referring to our currency Ringgit Malaysia RM, i think it is hard for me to prepare 2 dishes +1 soup with only RM 20 when fish or meat are in the menu. But when convert $20 convert to RM, it is about RM 50, then this amount is sufficient to have a good meals.

Homemade vanilla extract

Before Colin came to visit me during CNY, he asked me to suggest a gift that he could bring for me, so I quickly suggested good vanilla beans from US as I have been thinking to make my own vanilla extract.
