Mum's Away on Holiday Day 7: Wednesday's Dinner

-

Tonight, I only had to cook for two people so I decided to just keep it simple coz I was feeling kind of lazy plus I had a pretty eventful day at work. Two of my favourite things to cook are:-
  1. Steamed chicken with ginger, garlic, spring onion, coriander, pepper, and sesame oil.
  2. Stir fried choy sum with garlic.

Delicious Chocolate Brownies

-
Image
I've never really considered myself much of a baker but nowadays, I enjoy making desserts as much as I love cooking. A while ago, whenever I attempted to bake something, it would always fail miserably but these days, they can be quite successful and taste darn good (even if I say so myself :P). One of the things that I enjoy making on a regular basis besides cupcakes are brownies. Yes, I have a slight obsession with making brownies when I am bored in the kitchen whilst prepping dinner. This chocolate brownie recipe is quick and simple, all you need to do is put all the ingredients into a bowl and mix everything together...it's that easy and it's so delicious! (I have a few friends that can vouch for this) If you like your brownies to be fudgy and gooey, you don't want to miss out on this recipe :)

Green with Asian Envy - Pandan Kaya Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

-
Image
I call them "Green with Asian Envy" a.k.a Pandan Coconut Cupcakes with a suprise kaya filling topped with pandan cream cheese frosting and toasted shredded coconut. The reason for the name is because these cupcakes are probably the most Asian of cupcakes that I have ever made and eaten. What's there not to love about pandan or kaya (coconut jam)? Combine the both of them together and the flavours bring me back to my childhood days of eating kaya on bread. Most non-Asian kids would have been brought up on nutella or peanut butter on bread but I was brought up on kaya. Below is the recipe for "Green With Asian Envy" which I have adapted from Cupcake Central 's red velvet cupcake recipe. If you have not gotten your hands on their "Hatch That Dream" cookbook, you are missing out! So...what are you waiting for? If you love asian flavours and are a sweet tooth, do give this recipe a go! :)

Cafe Casuarina 4/77 Douglas Parade Williamstown VIC 3016 Opening Hours: Breakfast & Lunch (7 days a week) Last Saturday morning, we (Eddie, Pete and myself) visited Cafe Casuarina for an early breakfast. Mind you, the early I am talking about is about 8am. Usually I am still in bed but Eddie had a haircut appointment at 10am so for once, I was an early riser. By the time we got to the cafe, there were already a few people enjoying their breakkie. We were seated in the booth right up the back (as per our request). First observations, the cafe was really clean and the decor was nice and simple. Whilst we couldn't decide what to order from their delicious menu, I looked over and saw Jason practicing his flower arrangement skills. When we were ready to order, Jason promptly came to our booth and took our order. I chose the freshly squeezed juice as my choice of drink, I was asked what I would like in it and I told Jason to surprise me. my delicious combinat...
