This classic jam cookie gets a twist using desiccated coconut as the base. We also added lemon zest to give a nice citrus flavour. If you love coconut with a hint of lemon, this is your cookie.

French Crepes with Frezfruta Jam

Sunday is always my favourite day of the week, because it's family day!

Even be a couch potato all day long, its the moment that we are spending together that make it a wonderful day, don't you agree?

We have too much of bread lately and decided to have something different. And I thought, crepes will be lovely, isn't it? The thin and delicate pancakes can be filled with virtually anything!

It's pretty and perfectly portioned into single servings.

Chocolate Mocha Mousse Cake

This is similar to the Luscious Chocolate Mousse Cake that I had made for Father's Day last year. I use a different sponge recipe that is light, less chocolaty and more moist.

Hazel's (Aimakan) birthday is just around the corner, and since we are having a lunch party at Ellena's (Cuisine Paradise) house, I decided to make a birthday cake for her. Haven't been baking a whole cake for a good damn 1-year, I have to admit that my baking skill has turn a tad rusty. Over judging the baking timing, the supposedly moist cake turn out a tad dry, but lucky still soft.

We have received Gold Kili White Coffee and White Milk Tea and some Frezfruta jams from Lion City. At the same time, hubby is crying for something sweet, and with the limited ingredients I had left at home, I thought of making a milk tea cake topped with apple blueberry jam. The nice fragrant tea compliment the sweet apple blueberries.

Peanut Butter Brownie

My husband has a voracious appetite at times, he loves sweet stuff and likes to snack at home when he is not working. I didn't stock up the ingredients as I haven't been baking for quite sometime. But I do have lots of chocolate, 4 blocks of cream cheese (why am I not surprise?) and 2 bottle of peanut butter. Hmm, can't remember what I was planning to do with the peanut butter. Anyway that's how peanut butter brownie came along...

This easy brownie is fudgy, moist in the middle with a chewy outer crust, all with a nutty flavour. The saltyness of the peanut butter compliments the sweetness of the chocolate superbly. Be warn, they are very rich, and moreish.
