Happy, I am!

Time flies...so fast, it has been 1 month and 2 weeks since I am back.

Busy, busy, busy. Finding a job, doing some touch-up to the flat, buying furnitures and catching up with friends. Also, praying for Pensacola to be blessed with good weather so my hubby can come home soon!

Nutella Tart

Lastly, I would highly recommend a Nutella tart for all Nutella lovers out there. This was also probably the last sweet treat I made in my tiny toaster oven in Pensacola. I am so grateful the oven did not give up on me in this past year. This recipe is from Mandy, a fellow Singaporean whom I did not get a chance to meet up in USA sadly. I wish her much success in her new-found career!

Serimuka-II

Yellow serimuka!
I still have a big bottle of custard powder leftover from making my pineapple tarts, this is absolutely perfect for me! The taste is the same but still I couldnt make it as high as it should be (my stove is still unbalanced, argh).

Happy Birthday Goh

Aunty SS had very kindly invited the whole gang to her house to celebrate Alex's 23rd birthday, with a ice-cream cake no less! Look at how happy the birthday boy is!

ban jian kueh

Found a new blog, a new favourite, I tried making ban jian kueh from Aunty Yochana's recipe, it turned out really well. Only thing I would change is decrease the sugar by 20%, I would prefer more peanuts to sugar. Enjoy!

Blueberries season is here!

I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Target selling 1 pint of blueberries for $0.99. Woohoooo time to dig out blueberries recipes again! Going to hunt down blueberries farm, pluck and eat at the same time. Too excited, I didnt take picture of the end product oops.

Ang Ku Kueh (Green Ku Kueh)

It was a mess that day hah was trying to make it for Alex's birthday which Aunty Tan had kindly invited us to their house to celebrate. But I cant finish it in time, with my dough in 1 bowl and my filling in another, I brought it to Aunty's house. She helped me to finish it! Yeah! She has the mould even, how cool. She had taught me a valuable tip, do not use parchment paper or foil as the kuehs would stick onto them. Thanks a million Aunty! I feel so blessed to know the Tan Family in Kampung Pensacola. I added a few drops of pandan essence in the dough to get the tinge of green in the skin instead of red colour colouring. There are many other recipes out there with coconut milk in the dough, unsure how it affect the taste of the ang ku.
Ang Ku Kueh's recipe from My Kitchen Snippets

On a sidenote, my fave ones are from a shop along Jalan Bukit Merah Blk 146, they have all kind of ang ku kuehs with different fillings, yum.
