Hong Kong Pai Bao ( sweet buns)


One of the most popular, typical Hong Kong sweet buns, the Pai Bao. It tastes just the same as the Asian bakeries'.  Credits to Christine's recipes !
Very fluffy and soft, moist and tasty on its own.

Taiwanese Lo Bak Go (2)


From all of the Lo Bak Go that I have made so far,  I would say this is the best.
If one follows the required ingredients suggested strictly, it would definitely deliver a very good Lo Bak Go. It all comes down to the flavour and texture. It did not fail me even without any wheat or corn startch added, very smooth texture!

Mixed Grain and Blueberry Muffins (healthy)



                        You get lots of blueberries in each muffin, nice texture, flavour and healthy.

Simple Light Wholemeal Bread


                                                       2 loafs shaped in different pans.

Simple Chocolate Chiffon cake



Substituting part of the oil to applesauce worked just as good. Plain is always the best for my chiffon cake, but not my children, too bad :) Go for it if you like to top with icing!

 Very moist and tasty bread. I used Applesauce, mild honey and whole wheat to substitute the oil, sugar and all-purpose flour here.

Simple White Toast



                           Sometimes a simple white toast can be so delicious to me.


Chocolate Brownies



As said in the cookbook, a good brownie should be moist and fudgy rather than dry and cakey. The tactic is, the melted butter must be cool when it is added or it will cook the eggs.  Not to beat the eggs and sugar too vigorously, otherwise too much air will be incorporated and the brownies will be more like a cake. The final mixture should be gently stirred rather than beaten, or the brownies will be tough and dry. Inserting a skewer halfway between the center and the side of the pan will ensure it is not overcooked. The center should be remain quite moist.
Also, it would be a good idea to wrap the cooled cake and keep it overnight before cutting into squares.

Brown Rice Lo Bak Go ( taiwanese version 1)

Taiwanese Lo Bak Go is slightly different from the Hong Kong Cantonese type, less ingredients used, texture is different too here. Nice and yummy though.
