Simple chocolate cupcakes

Just now my daughter requested me to make cupcakes for her to bring to orphanage house tomorrow. Her school teacher will bring them there. I have been thinking to make cupcakes for large amount because I want to try the 24-holes muffin pan that I bought from Melbourne’s trip. I was so happy to accept this order ^_^

Cuti-cuti Malaysia, Melaka 2012 (part 2)

This is the last update of my Melaka trip..

Cuti-cuti Malaysia, Melaka 2012 (part 1)

Last week we went for a short trip to Melaka. We did not visit any tourist places since we had visited last time, instead my kids were enjoy in the pool and our main purpose was to hunt for good foods..

Stir-fried Squids with Pineapple

Just came back from a short trip from Melaka. Once returned home, start to busy purchasing, packing and making delivery for My Kedai Runcit orders (Hokkaido cupcake case, Puteri ayu mould and skewer are selling hot!!)...just realized that quite a lot of works just to manage this small kedai runcit, hehehe...but it is a good experience and exposure to business world..

I cooked this stir-fried squid with pineapples few weeks ago. I have almost forgotten this dish which my mom use to cook for us when we were kids..if you like sweet and sour dish, you will love this..The important tip is do not overcooked the squids otherwise it will turn chewy and hard..

Puteri Ayu (steamed mini pandan sponge cake) , launch of My Kedai Runcit

The other day i bought these little cute bundt moulds and thinking to use it to make jelly. I was not realized that actually peoples are using this mould to make Puteri Ayu (steamed mini sponge cake). When i saw Amelia dessert posted her Puteri Ayu, i quickly give it a try..Frankly i have never eaten this cake before..Once we tasted this, all my family members were very impressed with this mini steamed sponge cake, the 1st batched i did just gone in the same day, and they were asking for more...
