Sik Pao Mei Ar?

This weekend I decided to make some hongkong style buns which I havent made for many years (5+ years) , the 'gai mei pao' and 'chern jai pao'. They all came out quite well, maybe shall open a bakery one day for retirement.


Planning to make some different shapes and flavours next time...melon? black sesame?

White chocolate strawberry mousse cake

Last weekend I experimented in cooking a different cake recipe (found on the net), the white chocolate strawberry mousse cake - made from layers of chiffon cake, layers of strawberry and white chocolate mousse, and a layer of chopped strawberries. The mousse recipe is quite simple just 450g strawberries, 2tb lemon juice, 25g suger, 1 tbsp rum, chopped strawberries, 25g caster suger, 350ml heavy heavy cream, 3 tbsp icing suger, 150-200g lidnt white chocolate, 15g gelatin and hot water.

*lesson learnt - lidnt chocolate is kinda flammable , almost caught on fire after a few seconds on the stove for melting. White chocolate became dark chocolate....haiii......

I think the strawberry mousse recipe will be good for a swiss roll made with green tea sponge cake...!

Chicken Lasagne

Today was mothers day and we all decided to make a dinner for our mum which included Chicken and Vegetable Lasagne (a slightly modified recipe given by Jeff), Mashed Potato wrapped with potato (made by my brother) and Salad and Chocolate Soufle (made by my sister) .

Everything came out pretty good! yummm....
