i'm having a sore throat since last saturday, it hasn't been improving. Still has my voice but it hurts when i eat and swallow food; even my own saliva. sian.

I had spent the entire day doing my research module assignment 3... Feeling very zombie-like now. So stoned that i didn't even see my friends at the admiraty foodcourt. That time i was with my sis. First, seet called me. I responded with a super blur look. Then followed by esther, her sis and friend who called out to me from another table. I think they called me for quite a few times but i was too stone to hear. I could tell you my reaction was darn slow to even realised who called out to me! hohoho...

Sorry girls if i appeared to be rude when i didn't really talk much. It's just a long and draining day for me.. Paiseh~

Nothing could stop me from making cakes even though my mum "banned" me from using the oven. I turned to "chillling" cheesecake in the refrigerator yesterday! hahaz. It's a successful attempt! yummy! =)

Although i saved on the electical bill, the money that i had spent for the cheesecake ingredients was not cheap either... 500g of philedaphia cream cheese alone already cost me 10 bucks! Not to mention about whip cream, butter, and 2 regular packets of orea biscuits etc... Now i know why cheesecakes outside sell at such high price.

Feel like making tiramisu the next time, but it not going to be any cheaper since i still need cream cheese! Sigh...everything is getting more and more expensive now..




My chilled oreo cheesecake!

Hai.
Can't really bake much this month as my mum has started nagging about the increase in electrical bill... But i like to bake and cook. Feel like baking sponge cake but i was stopped just now.. Hopefully, the cost of electricity will maintain and not going uphill anymore..If not, i couldn't possibility bake whenever and whatever times i want..

Well, i think the best time to bake is the days when my mum is not at home! So i could discretely bake. heh heh. Then she wouldn't know. Even if she does, i would already be done with my baking. Hohoohoo..

Anyways come to think about it, i also wouldn't have much time for baking the next 2 months as more assignments are meeting the deadlines and exams are nearing. I guess this would bring some relief to my parents who are paying for the electricl bills..haha.

Today i felt like a total housewife. Baking and cooking the whole day. hahaz. In the morning, i went to market to buy the ingredients for kueh dadar. It was very tedious to make the skins and i doubt i will be doing that again unless i really have the time and mood. No photos of my kueh dadar because it's not very pleasant looking but taste wise, mr g thought it's not too bad for a 1st timer (yay!) whereas my mum complaint that the coconut filling was too sweet to her liking. Maybe mature adults prefer a healthier choice. As for me, i feel that more practice has to be done on making thinner and better skins for kueh dadar.

I must say i was very satisfied with my Hawaiian pizzas! I did the 3 bread bases from scratch and they turned out real good! *smiling broadly* Everyone had their own large share of the pizzas for dinner.


PS: Thank you dear for helping me in handling the tray in and out of the sizzling hot oven and cutting up the button mushrooms! =)

Mr g can be the ambassador to advertise for my cookings. hahaz.

HAPPY BELATED 21st BIRTHDAY to both of you!



Birthday boy and Birthday girl standing at the sides! Both of them looked gorgeous on that day! =)

This was my maiden attempt cooking this dessert! All i would say is....it's ALOT of WORK! You have to boil the ginko nut first, peel off the shell one by one etc etc. That was why i took a freaky 4.5 hrs just to come out with this; just in time for me to go school. hahaz. I've got to thank my mum for helping me to peel the ginkos, if not for her help i would have taken the whole day. =)
Really happy that my hard work didn't disappoint me, it came out beyond my expectation! So so so glad my family and mr g liked it! hehee..




Proudly presents...

My Ginko Barley Soup!
