Today I am trying my hand at the thing I dread the most … making pie crust from scratch. Yikes! Very nervous but hey, I thought if I didn’t try it I’d never get over the phobia … so I did. And what came out of that oven was nothing short of a miracle. I couldn’t believe how I had managed to bake my first American-style pie from scratch and it turned out in one piece, looking every inch like how I had envisioned a pie to be.

Brownies go down fast in this house; how can they not? They are sooo delicious, one slice is never enough. I made these for March’s Bake Club Challenge and I made some personal changes to the original recipe simply because I do not like nuts in my brownie. This brownie variety was kinda made up in the middle of the night and it turned out to be a keeper. Another one for my brownie file.

Mango pudding is a very popular dessert in Cantonese restaurants both in Singapore and Hong Kong. An eggless pudding that uses gelatine as the setting agent, it is light and creamy and very easy to put together.

Thinking of serving up some scrummy breakfast-in-bed for your significant other? Then this recipe has your name written all over it. These pancakes came about by total accident and with the help of some natural yoghurt, these came out so moist and fluffy. Brilliant combination paired with the zest of some Mandarins.

First Bake Club Challenge of the year, and the theme this month is coconut desserts. Growing up in a southeast Asian culture coconut was present in almost EVERY dessert imaginable … but this time I got to try my hand at fusion cuisine … mingling southeast Asian flavours with European concepts. Hence, the coconut & kaffir lime panna cottas with lime syrup.

Made a batch of chocolate mousse today to fulfill a long overdue promise I made to the boyfriend when he bought me my first stand mixer. It was a generous batch, so I decided to make the most of the stuff before it all disappeared down R’s gullet. Simple to make using very few ingredients, this mousse is both rich and airy.

A daring break from the usual cheesecakes I normally do, this one made use of my favourite tea blend. The results were surprisingly decadent and pleasing in every way. This one has cake inside, as opposed to a biscuit crumb base.
