Japanese Condensed Milk bread 日式炼奶面包



I rarely appear on my FB, so I don't know what is happening in there, unless my FB friends link that to me (Take this opportunity to say sorry to whom sent me the friend request, I didn't responded due to I don't update my FB). Usually I got to know the latest hot topic especially on new baking items from my Chinese blogger friends. Example like this popular Japanese condensed milk bread. Since I have all ingredients on hand, quickly make it for the next day breakfast. You should use Hokkaido condensed milk (if you have) to get the closer taste to original recipe which come from a Japanese website. But I just use sweetened creamer that we use in our daily Milo drink.

Penang Hokkien Mee / Prawn Mee 槟城福建虾面

After collected enough prawn's head and shells, time to cook a good bowl of prawn noodles from scratch. I have posted this recipe long time ago but it was not in detail. This time I improve my old recipe especially the stock.

Japanese Stir-fried Cabbage with Butter Soy Sauce 日式牛油炒高丽菜

I almost forgot to post this recipe. This month LTU-butter theme remind me of this dish I have cooked few months ago. I never know just a simple stir fry cabbage with butter can resulted a good dish, nevertheless adding Japanese soy sauce into this dish also important.

Spongy Banana Cupcakes 香蕉海绵杯子蛋糕

I have many cupcake liners haven't used. I bought some and some given by my cooking & baking buddies.  I took out this floral design and I decided to bake them with banana sponge cake, they look so lovely! And this was a faster way to prepare cupcakes, I still use my prefer cold eggs method, don't need egg separation, and only need 5mins beating time, quick and good!

Claypot Luffa gourds, Black fungus and Fish Maw 胜瓜云耳浸鱼肚

We tried a similar dish in a restaurant that only know by the local during our trip to Macau. This was a typical Cantonese style of home cook dish. Since I still have some dried fish maw leftover from CNY, quickly try this dish at home. To get this dish taste nice, the good stock is important.

Bacalhau com Natas (Salted Cod fish with Cream) 葡式马介休薯容



Macau was under Portuguese rule until 1999, then transferred to China. During our visit to Macau, we have a chance to taste Portuguese dishes or Fusion dish (Macanese and Cantonese) . The first time I cooked Macau food was Macanese Minchi 澳門式免治 , it was a good dish. This time, I got to know a new ingredient that widely use in Portuguese dishes i.e Bacalhau or salted cod fish or Chinese called as 马介休.

Banana and Pine nuts butter cake 香蕉松子牛油蛋糕

I have quite some time did not bake a butter cake. Since I have overripe bananas sitting on the island top, perfect to make a banana cake. But I also wish to have some bite of nuts in this cake. So I added some pine nuts (leftover from earlier Basmati Rice with Pomegranate Seeds and Pine nuts ). And I love this combination!

Don't be scared by the long title of this post, actually these are two simple recipes. Sometime when I getting boring to cook Chinese foods, I like to have this type of grill and simple foods.

Macau 2014 (Places)_ part 1 澳門自由行

I have been wanted to visit Macau, soon I gotten quite a low air fares during the school holidays, I immediately booked this last minutes trip. Later I realized that the hotel room rates in Macau were quite high. Since our main purpose were not going to their famous casino, so we have plenty of time to visit other places, this is so called free and easy trip, no rush and be relax ^_^.

Chinese paper wrapped cupcakes 紙包蛋糕

We just went to Macau for few days short visit. It was a last minutes plan, booked quite a low air fares but later only realized that the hotel rate there was quite high. Anyway, we were enjoyed many nice foods there but also tasted some foods that we don't like. This time, I have a chance to try this famous cake in Hong Kong and Macau, paper wrapped cake or cupcake 紙包蛋糕. The first one I tried actually not as nice as expected. Anyway, I found a good one at an old Char Chan Teng (local coffee shop) which they bake freshly paper wrapped cupcakes daily. Their cake was light, fluffy and full of egg aroma.
