Kuih Bahulu – Ji Dan Gao 鸡蛋糕 – Chinese New Year
Kuih Bahulu is a chinese sponge cake and is commonly eaten during Chinese New Year. It is hard and crispy on the outside but soft fluffy on the inside due to the amount of sugar content of these cakes. It’s one of my childhood’s favorite and they are ridiculously addictive. Today to show you how to make this recipe, I borrowed two traditional tins from one of my friend’s mum as I used to use mini-muffin pans to make these lovely cakes. The most popular traditional tins are these beautiful flower-shaped tins.
Pineapple Tart – Opened – Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is once again around the corner and this time I tried making opened-shape Pineapple Tarts.

I am more of a ball person but this year I came to love opened Pineapple Tarts. It took me lots of tried and errors to get this recipes right.

Matcha Ice Cream – No Machine No-Churn One Step

Removal of Impacted Teeth – Teeth Straightening Part 1
It was a pain in the ass. My teeth is not perfect and I really wanted to straighten my teeth. But what set me back for the past few years was the ugly metal wire of braces and the food restriction. I am not ready to embrace my 2 years of youth with braces. No, never! Then, Invisalign was introduced to me and I was all so happy to get started with my treatment. (I will talk about it later) But my worse nightmare began when I went for an X-Ray and was found that I had 2 impacted (hidden) teeth in my hard palate. Gosh! My doctor told me…

Prom Night 2014
So it’s my graduating year this 2014. My peers and I were looking forward for our Prom Night. Excitedly yet to be honest, I was not really that prepared for it at all. 😕 All my peers were eagerly preparing, spending a few hundred bucks on clothes for that one and only night. I was envious but at the same time lazy, and tried to be ‘cost-efficient’ so I did not buying anything. I feel that my size is going to change in future anyway, it will be a waste of money to buy something that I am going to wear once. Hahahas… Initially, I wanted to buy a blazer…
Thai Basil Rice – Thai Vegetarian
Nobody is going to believe me that this is vegetarian. This vegetarian Thai Basil Rice has all the essentials of a normal pork Thai basil rice that makes it so real. Lots of garlic and onion are added to simulate our tongue to make it taste ‘meaty’. And once you freeze and thaw your Tawkua (Firm tofu), the whole texture will change. It will be slightly chewier and you will have to squeeze the water out, so that later your ‘meat’ will not be soggy. Sure you can go ahead and use a normal Tawkua, but if you have the time to freeze it. Why not?
