Mocha Swiss Roll (Yule Log Cake)

Nevermind, this swiss log (or log cake…) will be covered with lots of chopped peanuts and chocolate chips. All your flaws can now be covered. Hahaha

Strawberry Jelly Tofu Cheese Cake (Low-Calorie) – Christmas
Can you believe that this was made up of tofu? This cheesecake is low in calories compared to the conventional ones. The cheese layer was mainly made up of cream cheese, tofu and yogurt. No heavy cream was added. In fact, I actually made it using natural sweetener called Stevia! I will talk to you guys about it very soon as it is my ongoing project I have been working on.

Orange Chiffon Cake with Orange Custard and Whipped Cream Cheese
Adapted from my Pandan Chiffon Cake, this is a foolproof zesty recipe. Orange Chiffon Cake! YUM. Sandwiched with orangy custard, creamed with whipped maple cream cheese frosting and top it off with strawberries. Not too sweet but still refreshing and creamy! You could garnish it with orange zest and mint leaves. I’m lazy so I just spread both the custard and the frosting to give that very rustic homemade look. To be honest, I am not a good cake decorator. I realized it was a little slanted. But, oh well…..
Heavenly White with touch of Blue – Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall
So the other day I came across a picture taken in Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall. I was like, “I must visit there! It looks so heavenly!” I went the subsequent week. I ‘jio’ Sun along since she was free on that day. She was my photographer of the day. 😉 I really love the blue flowery shirt I got from Alcoholiday at Cathay Cineleisure.

Simple and classic. Hahaha, I still think that we were a…
Foolproof Scrambled Eggs
Back to basic, to make scrambled eggs. It’s easy. But to make it perfect, not everyone can do that. I will show you my Foolproof Scrambled Eggs. The secret for the perfect scrambled eggs is, milk. Not cream, not water but milk! Cream is great, rich and creamy. But, cream makes the eggs too dense and rich. Not good, too rich and you will be off after a few bites. Water makes the eggs fluffy, which is great! But lack of milky taste. Too dull! Not good too. Milk on the other hand, is… perfect! Not too rich and creamy but yet makes the eggs fluffy delicious. Yum!
Jam Drops (Thumbprint Cookies)
Don’t you just love something that is buttery and jelly? In Singapore (since we follow the British), we call these Jam Drop biscuits. But in America, it is commonly known as Thumbprint Cookies.

They are great as a meetup gift, so be sure to double or even triple the recipe! It will sure be gone in just a few hours time.
