Easy Chocolate Cupcake (Dairy-Free, Egg-Free)
Super easy chocolate cupcake. No butter, no eggs, no milk. Super simple, great for vegans too! I think chocolate cake, should taste like chocolate. But I am also a very lazy person, would love to do things the easy way. And therefore, I found this recipe and was amazed how delicious these chocolate cupcakes were even though it is so simple. Recipe comes with “Berry Buttercream Frosting” (http://youtu.be/0y0F0NaN8bs) Okay okay okay, I know my piping skills is’t great but I have to say, the photo above was made with my friends and I piped the better looking ones. (Not to brag but I don’t want to lose face hahaha….)
Crepes
Chocolate Chip Muffins
Love this recipe, it is perfect for breakfast, snack and afternoon tea break. I love to make these and wrap it with a cute plastic bag for my friends. These muffins taste best on the day itself, of course you could freeze it up to several months and pop it into the microwave when you need it or just hurry for a quick breakfast. I have made these muffins so many times that sometimes I don’t even need to look at my recipe book, and people always come back asking for more. Made some for one of my family gatherings along with some Nutella puff pastry.
Strawberry and Banana Smoothie
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
I love frozen yogurt. But the reason why I don’t really want to have it often is because it it is not readily available in any supermarket (I assume) and Premium Self-Serve Frozen Yogurt cost a bomb in Singapore. I found a easy recipe for Strawberry Frozen Yogurt. Quickly, I made a trip down to the market to stock up the ingredients I need for this recipes. As expected, this homemade frozen yogurt is as good as or even better than those premium self-serve frozen yogurt that you get in a store. Not only that, you know what’s going into your stomach and save you some money.

It contain lots fibre, so it’s really healthy! Don’t forget that strawberries are high in antioxidant! As I stated above, agar agar is made from seaweed, which is great for vegans and vegetarians. I’m sure lots of Asian prefer agar…
Pineapple Tart – Enclosed – Chinese New Year
I will show you how to make pineapple tart or roll (or ball…) Anyway Singaporeans (so do Malaysian) loves to eat pineapple tart especially during Chinese New Year! And buying good pineapple tart at that period can go up to $25 SGD dollars. How expansive! Why not make yourself with those simple ingredients? I think a good pineapple tart should have a buttery salty flavor for the crust and good balanced ratio of crust to filling. I just love that this recipe gave a melt-in-effect when you bite into it. I remembered making quite a few different batches of pineapple tart and finally found the right ratio. If…
Tang Yuan (汤圆) Glutinous Rice Ball
Tang Yuan (汤圆) is usually eaten during Dong Zhi festival (冬至) where family to get together. Tang Yuan can be either large or small, filled with paste or non-fill depending on personal preference. The round shape of the ball, come to symbolism the family togetherness. Different colors also represent different positive meaning.

Homemade Soy Milk
My whole family loves to drink soy milk. In the past, I use to remember my mum often buy fresh soy milk packet in a clear plastic bag from a wet market and it was so good. I also heard from my sister that soy milk is really good for girls, I think what she meant was it boast one’s female hormones. Anyway, anyone can drink and should drink because it is damn delicious and nutritious. Just remember to get non-GMO soy beans. Those made from GMO crops are nasty, and you want to avoid that. Singapore is also known for its beancurd. There are two main kinds of bean…
