祝福大家圣诞节和新年快乐!!

I will be missed this Christmas & New Year as I am going on a holiday trip, probably be having a freezing White Christmas this time round. Nevertheless, I will be taking away all the warmth I have from my home country and all your well wishes.

回顾今年,收获蛮多的,其中之一就是结识了热心助人的auntie Irene,承蒙她的厚爱,让我学到了很多美味佳肴,增进了很多烘焙知识,和间接认识了多位对烘焙有兴趣的姐妹们,让我受益不浅。。。友谊万岁。。。

在此预先祝贺所有的Kaypoh Club Members 和blogger & baking friends:

佳节快乐!希望来年比往年更棒!!
大家明年见咯!

Cheers!

My 1st attempt with Tiramisu at home...

嘻嘻这就是我第一次在家里自己尝试做的Tiramisu

昨晚下班后回家蛮晚了,用过晚餐,过了九点才开始着手准备,经过一轮的称,煮,打,混,好不容易在十二点多终于大功造成,把成品送入冰箱。再来就是洗好象怎么洗也洗不完的用具,然后在一点多拖着疲惫的身躯上床睡觉。

今早比平时早起,美梦也被中断,就为了要替蛋糕撒粉装饰,脱模,拍照和切开来给家人当早餐。。。时间不多了,还得快快冲凉更衣,赶去公司开会。。。 超忙,超赶的。。。

终的来说,虽然还有一些美中不足的地方,尝到美味的Tiramisu,觉得还相当满意啦,当然还有很多进步的空间。第一次大胆尝试用小圈筒饼干条来装饰,好具挑战性噢,加上时间又很仓促,所以装饰得很不理想。。。嘻嘻

这里要非常感谢教我做成这个Tiramisu auntie Irene 。。。谢谢你的sponge cake, 谢谢你的mould,谢谢你的奶(鲜奶啦),谢谢你的。。。辛苦你咯。。。哈哈~~~

Brisk Walking at Parks 与狗同乐

Clue to where this nice park is .......

This is Changi Beach Park, walking distance from Changi Village, ample parking space, can take bus no. 89 from Pasir Ris Drive 1

I’ve been participating in some morning Feet-to-Walk programmes at a few parks some weekends ago. This programme was initiated by Health Promotion Board aim to encourage more people to do brisk walking as well as explore some beautiful parks in Singapore, as they believe some places are not known to many people.


The following venue was one of the interesting parks I've been to. This time it was jointly organized with SPCA to encourage pet owners to brisk walk with their pet dogs as they also need regular exercise like us.


starting of the brisk walking from 8am.
一般人以为只能在国外看到的怡人景色。。。想不到就在新加坡可以看到。。。
看到这些高耸树林的羊肠小道,有没有让你联想到浪漫感人的
<冬季恋歌Winter Sanota>的那一幕啊?

不知看官们能不能猜到这里到底是什么地方呢?

哈哈~ make a guess lah...will give a clue later if no one guess it right... This mini dog is very cute, caught the attention of many people - it could run really very fast with its short legs, so much so that the young lady has to literally run after it.










this black dog has very unique tail. The young couple owner told us that it was an adopted stray dog from SPCA. I am glad that the dog has at last found a lovely home.
































this dog looked big but it's very loving, gentle & friendly. See many dogs got close to it & even muak muak with it...so endearing...

"after a lot of running, very tired liao, let me take a rest"














I'm very impressed with the training these dogs received. They were very amazingly well disciplined, got along very well with other dogs and did not bark to strangers at all.
a gathering of different species of dogs. I believe most, if not all, were adopted dogs from SPCA, and the members were invited to participate in the walk.



this fortunate dog was adorned with a nice attire, the owner must have love it very much.

Although I am not really into dog, I have enjoyed this walk with these amiable dogs.

柔情蜜意的 Tiramisu

又是一个大开眼界和充实的星期六,因为auntie Irene 终于教我做这个我期待已久的意大利著名贵族甜糕点 Tiramisu )。

Tiramisu的主要成分是顶级的cheese. 浸满香浓咖啡和特级咖啡酒海棉蛋糕和芝士mousse已融为一体,不像在吃蛋糕了,口感非常的幼滑,入口即化,超棒!难怪尝过富有浓郁咖啡香味乳酪味Tiramisu 的人都对它趋之若鹜,情有独钟!

非常感谢auntie Irene 破例分享这个精致高贵的超赞糕点食谱!让我尝过后有幸福洋溢和甜蜜的感觉!谢谢您的用心和对我的耐心!嘻嘻~~

(auntie Irene 说我的可可粉因为少放了base,撒得不美,, 不过我对这个Tiramisu 的口味和口感已经非常满意咯!正如Nicole 以前常说,现在不敢再说的: “外表不美不重要,最重要的是内涵!” 无论如何,还是希望下次能做得更完美, 哈哈~

Steam Moist Chocolate Cake 蒸巧克力蛋糕

这就是auntie Irene 即将会通过DJ Violet 的‘厨房笔记’教的 Steam Moist Chocolate Cake,这次她尝试做成 little cup cake, 让我先在这里呈现给大家。她一共做了十多个,要我带一些去office让同事品尝,每人尝一个后,都异口同声的直呼说: “ It's very nice。。。" 非常感谢auntie Irene 的分享

刚蒸好的蛋糕的口感有一点moist和软绵,细细咀爵时可以尝到浓郁的巧克力味。
(嘻嘻,不好意思,同事把凌乱的会议桌也摄入镜头)

看到我把特别调制的浓郁巧克力浆徐徐的淋在小蛋糕上,正在开会的同事们都转移视线了,目不转睛的看傻了眼,哈哈~ 在我身旁帮忙拍照的马来男同事在那里碎碎念: "Wow! it's very sinful, very sinful..." (意思是说把那么多诱人的巧克力吃进肚子里, 好罪过,好有罪恶感啊!)。。。可是我一倒完浆,他已迫不及待的先尝为快咯。。。嘻嘻~

淋了满满的巧克力浆,配一小块蛋糕一起呷入口中,哇!可想而知,口感和味感更加棒了!yummy yummy :P~~~ 是不是令人垂涎欲滴?
我再近距离拍, 让大家看到顺滑得发亮发光的巧克力浆,说它可以当镜子照脸一点也不为过噢!

想学做这个蛋糕就要锁定节目时段收听噢!

Cheddar Cheese Cake Loaf & Steam Cup Cake

善解人意的Auntie Irene 知道我也垂涎于那天送个Richard 的Cheddar Cheese Cake Loaf (因为嗅足了cheese 迷人的香味,可是每个人只能尝到一丁点儿, 胃口被吊起来了啦! ),所以也做了一个让我解馋。 谢谢auntie Irene !

这个 cheddar cheese cake 真的是香味扑鼻,我相信很少人可以抗拒得了它。撒满了cheddar cheese 的蛋糕外皮,烘到金黄色,非常香脆可口,蛋糕融合了牛油和cheddar cheese 的独特微咸奶香味,‘里应外合’夹攻,吃了齿颊留香,让人陶醉其中。

不仅如此,巧思的Auntie Irene 还尝试用一半的糕糊蒸成cheddar cheese cup cake, 刚蒸熟的蛋糕口感软绵,cheese 的浓香味也完全被提了出来。再淋上特别调配的香滑浓郁巧克力浆,哗! 更加不得了了,香醇的巧克力加上乳酪香,绝配!简直妙不可言!

谢谢auntie Irene 介绍这个美味无比的蛋糕给我们!
