Cheddar Beer bread. As a cheese lover, I should’ve heard of this earlier. It’s flavour profile exceeded my expectations and I think can even be improved upon as you like by adding any ingredient you’ll like say, caramelised onions or jalapeños. Alcoholic beer isn’t necessary. It will work well with non alcoholic beer or evenContinue reading “Cheddar Beer Bread (with optional sourdough discard)”

Taiwanese Wedding Cake 台式喜餅
People tend to think that I’m an “Earl grey financier, Jeju matcha entremet, raspberry lemon glaze eclair” kind of person though I look nothing like it. Maybe it’s that manufactured aloofness and confidence I hobble around with that dissipates the second I glide back into my comfort zone. In actuality, the kind of desserts IContinue reading “Taiwanese Wedding Cake 台式喜餅”
Charcoal Sesame Mooncakes, Matcha Red bean Mooncakes and Five nut Mooncakes (Recipe)
I’ve made at least 500 mooncakes in my life but have never gotten down to writing a recipe. Rather than keeping to the traditional mooncakes, I’ve attempted to deviate slightly off course to create these more colourful ones. This recipe should be easy for even an amateur baker but here are some hopefully helpful mooncakeContinue reading “Charcoal Sesame Mooncakes, Matcha Red bean Mooncakes and Five nut Mooncakes (Recipe)”
Sourdough Ox-Tongue Pastry 牛舌饼 (Recipe)
Most people know Taiwan for its Sun pastry (太阳饼) and Pineapple pastry. Those are unquestionably delicious. But my all-time favourite has to be the Ox-Tongue pastry (牛舌饼). It isn’t as well known perhaps because it feels more like breakfast than a snack but for me it’s everything. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, supper… why not? UnlikeContinue reading “Sourdough Ox-Tongue Pastry 牛舌饼 (Recipe)”

Super Soft Mochi 麻署 (Recipe)
One of my favourite foods is mochi. That soft, chewy texture and fragrance of glutinous rice never fails to trigger my appetite. In Taiwan, I ate some of the best mochi I’ve ever had in my life, from 一之軒. It was super soft and almost melt-in-the-mouth, with the right amount of chewiness. I decided to comeContinue reading “Super Soft Mochi 麻署 (Recipe)”
A Cookie Special
less than 8 weeks left! till I leave Singapore for seven years or forever. till I can no longer bake. (or for at least 7 years anyway) and its all worth it. So many years of struggling and trying to get there… all worth it. That news is all for another time! For now,Continue reading “A Cookie Special”
Like a Sachertorte
I made this cake with a lady friend of mine with an intense love for anything dangerously rich and calorie-laden, and who despite this, owns a slim physique. The world is unfair, I know– that is until I get well again. I will live for that day… if I do manage to get through theContinue reading “Like a Sachertorte”

B-Caraibe (A Vanilla-Chocolate-Banana Entremet)
It is an entremet with banana mousse, vanilla chantilly whipped cream and chocolate tofu cream sandwiched between springy almond sponge. The banana layer almost gave me a heart attack (though unlikely). I used some really ripe, soggy, close to rotting bananas that were just barely swimming in their own juice. I added lemon juice, blendedContinue reading “B-Caraibe (A Vanilla-Chocolate-Banana Entremet)”
