Apple Walnut & Sultanas Scroll

By • Mar 3rd, 2011 • Category: Baking Projects

You know, sometimes there are downsides to being on the road all the time. Noted that this may sound like a complain but I’m going to say, I’m just making a teensy observation. The apartment in Tokyo had a tiny griller, so I never bothered to bake anything in that. We made do with what [...]



Kawaguchiko

By • Dec 19th, 2010 • Category: Travels

“Do you see? Do you see?” That’s becoming G’s favourite line. Seeing Mt. Fuji was one of his missions ever since he knew he was returning to Japan. And, boy oh boy, was the big guy excited when that weekend finally arrived. We’d planned to leave Tokyo as early as possible to get to Kawaguchiko. However, [...]



The Pie That Got Away

By • Jun 16th, 2010 • Category: Baking Projects

This is The-Pie-That-Got-Away. It was one of my most beautiful creations. Like Gepetto, I was floating with pride and I wouldn’t let anyone touch it (at least until the next day to be photographed). I sighed after it. I lovingly gazed at it. I thought it was perfect from crust to the pointy tips of [...]



Citrus Delicious Pudding

By • Jun 1st, 2010 • Category: Desserts

This is the dessert I made when G’s uncle came to visit. The citrus pudding was a great way to end dinner after a hearty meaty meatloaf. On a totally unrelated matter, my best friend got married last Saturday. Carrie and I have known each other for half our lives. But it’s not just about [...]

This is not for vegetarians nor for the faint-hearted or dieters for that matter. This post oozes of meat. I have never eaten meatloaf in my life. Throughout my childhood, Blog this!

Spiced Apple Tea Cake

By • May 12th, 2010 • Category: Baking Projects

I’m sooooo excited! We received a package in the mail today. What do you think it could be? With a quick rip, I saw two DVDs and the name of our wedding photographer. The wedding photos are here! (*Happy jiggle*) I have to be good and wait for Mr. G to come home so we [...]



Continental Lemon Cheese Tart with Stewed Plums

By • Jan 21st, 2010 • Category: Desserts

A girl friend and I were checking out old school and uni photos yesterday, some dated to more than 10 years ago. We were amazed at how baby-faced some of us looked and how some have simply ‘transformed’ themselves. We talked about the old days and how we have grown over the years. A mutual [...]



Gavin & Mable

“Are you ready?” G looks at me. Funny how I landed myself in this spot. I was never the little girl who dreamed of white frock weddings. Blog this!
