C'est la vie~

one of those pah-toh days..@ takashimaya basement that pasta restaurant again. the pasta and sauces there is a must try!!
tom yam cream sauce with penne. this is one cream sauce that will never make you feel sick of it
cant remember this meat ball thing. but for me who hates this kinda style of cooking meat (those who know what I mean) this meatball is damn good!
Frostie with sour cream and cheese sausages - bought at their sister shop next to it.

wanted to test out my new non-stick stringform pan. it's so good! i'm gonna bake more!!
checked marble cake with orange rind
if you realize, i love using orange rind in my baking, especially with chocolate. it gives the cake a fre

Cook the cherries, mix the butter and flour, roll the dough and fill it up!
yummy! these cherries are sour but cook with sugar and water it's damn good!
cut the rolled out pastry into stripes to make the lattice top




beautiful cherry pie! it's the bright cherry red that makes it look even better!

adding blended cocoa powder into the butter mixture
cake is done!
add on sliced almonds on the side as deco and taste
decorate with some flowers and hearts.
this cake is kinda too feminine for Derrick's family. haha


the other cake from the same mixture -- i keep it simple because we like it less sweet.
grated orange rind on top for more fragrance

the supposedly no-fail recipe for chicken pies. everything is made from scratch. not campbell soup (which I kinda, insisted on using. haha) or frozen pie crust. we used ghee for the crust, hence it has a really buttery taste and crisp like curry puff.
2 types of mushrooms as we love it, potatoes, chicken chunks, carrots chunks and long beans chunks
mixing the ghee and flour until it resembles bread crumbs
cooking the chicken pie filling.. using chicken stock as the base


filling done~! fill the crust with this and put to bake!
seriously, i want her oven more than the pies!!! her oven is so much bigger and even than mine!



the pie is even better after storing for a few days. love the crust! but more difficult to handle when rolling because ghee is softer than butter

quiche is baked eggs and milk filling with savoury ingredients. my first time making this. these quiche make very easy and quick breakfast

one of those baking gatherings with Ling.
a message from her in the morn and next, we dashed down to shop & save to get our granny smith apples. it was this that kick off my baking mood which stretches out till now!
crumble top.. personally I prefer this rather than those traditional grandma apple pie top
