It's Tuesday, but it seem more bluey than Monday. Feeling moody & lousy at work. I look forward to a new challenge after I was transfer to a new department but it turn out to be rubbish. I wasted my 10yrs of experience serving a group of lazy handicaps. What a let down!
Decided to make Chocolate Lava Cake (Molten Lava Cake) to cheer myself up. The oozing runny chocolatey is sOoOOooOOOooOo goodness.
Today is a very special friend's birthday. Not exactly her actual birthday but rather a be-early birthday celebration for her as she will be out of town during her birthday week.
Decided to make Shela this rich and chocolatey cake as a surprise during our Rest & Relax gathering.
Very interesting brownie especially if you are making for kids. They will enjoy with the pretty decoration with their own favourtie candy and chocolate.
Make this cheesecake for Allan Lee's birthday on Sunday. Make the crust before the World Cup match start. And make the cheese mixure during the half time. It didn't turn out to be as good as make before. Guess I was in a rush and didn't add enough gelatin, as the cheese is very soft and melt very fast.
But the decoration was nice thou. ;)
Recipe can be found @ Cheesecake (Non Bake)
More tips
1. For chocolate flavour, substitute 1 tbsp cocoa powder for the same quanity of flour.
2. For a chunkier texture, use coarsely chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips.
3. For mocha flavour, use coffee essence instead of vanilla essence.
4. For nutty flavour, add whole or chopped macadamia nut, walnut or hazelnut.
5. For fruity flavour, add chopped dried fruit, such as raisins, sultanas, etc.

Double happiness when luck and love collides on 14th February 2010. Twice the reason to indulge on Chinese New Year & Valentine's Day. What a day to remember!
It's not often that the celebrations of luck and love collide in a single day - which is even more excuse to go the whole hog and whip up a feast that will delight both the modern and traditional at heart.
Had bake pineapple tarts for Chinese New Year, now making some heart shape cheesecake...
Since I'd successfully made my pineapple tart yesterday, I decided to make some extra Cornflakes Cookies for my Mum and Granny as well.
2nd attempt of cornflakes was as yummy as the first attempt few weeks back. I make it into a small ball this time instead of a big cookies shape. I skip the glaced cherries and grated rind of lemon. It still taste as good but less chewy & crispy since I had replace the shortening with salted butter.
Overall feedback, most of my colleagues perferred this 2nd attempt than the first. But both taste as good! You try it and decided yourself. =D
Come celebrate the fruit of the season with Homemade Pineapple Tart!!
I am very happy with my second attempt of making the pineapple tart. It look so much better compare to the first.
Pineapple tarts are a must in most Chinese homes during Chinese New Year.
Give the usual pineapple tarts a twist by using kumquat jam instead. Kumquat is sweeter and lends a fragrant citrus flavour to the tarts. The kumquat jam may also be eaten with toast and butter.
Bought extra pineapple for making the pineapple tart yesterday, I decided to make some Pineapple fried rice today.
Pineapple rice not only look visually appealing, the taste is simply mouthwatering and utterly appetizing specially when it comes in a hollowed out pineapple.
The tempting good smell set my stomach rumbling; needless to say, dinner was absolutely delightful.
Woo Hoo!! Finally I had bought a oven last night (25-Jan-2010, Monday).
I am so excited and looking forward to my baking adventures. I love home cooked food and home baked stuff. But never get a chance to bake.
Now I can pick up some skill and finally all the baking receipt I had kept from magazine are in use!
smileツ!
There are quite a few type of Cheesecake that doesn't require baking. More or less are the same, except some don't include lemon juice. And some with geltine and some doesn't, more butter or lesser etc.
However this cheesecake I'm sharing with you is one of the better version I'd tried. It's really so tasty that so many of my colleagues asked for the receipe after I bought the cheesecake to office to share with them.
Chocolate are absolutely a luscious, luxurious, sinful & irresistible to me!! Being a super duper choclate lover, I am so ecstatic when I found this steam chocolate cake recipe that doesn't require baking.
Since I do not have an oven at home, there are very limited cake I can try without the usage of an oven.
I found this recipe at Peng's Kitchen 2days ago. And she got it from Honeysuckle Creations. I couldn't wait for weekends to try out this recipe, and decided to do it on Thursday night
