Avocado Prawn Savoury Pie


This is my second homemade pie after the Curry Chicken Pie.  Another wonderful experience, I found myself completing the pie much faster than before.  Here, I needed to blind bake the crust twice to 80% cooked before filling the ingredients.
It is such a delicious pie, glad that I bought this book, I can learn even more pie recipes here.

Custard Mooncake



It is very delicious,  I especially love the texture and flavour of the custard. The soft, thin pastry skin, flavoured with a hint of syrup is the best. It is interesting to do egg wash 3 times and  a syrup wash. I was tired in the end :)
Overall, it is something worth going through and I  would like to do it again next year.

Gongzai (Doll) Mooncake



These are the soft textured version of the Gongzai Mooncake. They are plain but full of syrup flavour, and it gets more intense the longer you keep it.  They are good to keep for quite a number of weeks.

Kluang Mooncake


Another tasty mooncake here.  Just be sure to slice after it is completely cooled as the crust is soft, which may be separated easily when it is still hot.
Thanks to My Little Space !

Traditional Mooncake ( Cantonese style)


I know I can't go wrong with Christines's recipes,  it turned out very good on the third day. This is what we want, a very thin and shinny layer of pastry.

No Churn Coffee Ice Cream




Seriously, this is rediculously easy to make.  We were very surprised for the first time,to have found out that no churn ice cream actually can be so delicious.  I always have the impression that no churn ice cream would be slightly icy, not as smooth or creamy, a heavier kind of result. This proves me wrong.

Baked Oreo Cheescake


This is quite a small cheesecake, 6 inches.  It looks beautiful with three layers where each layer ensures you won't miss a bite of the oreo. I always liked baked cheesecake more if I had to choose , it is just my own opinion. The texture and flavour is slightly different somehow. My children loved it so much, you just can't go wrong baking with Oreo.

Homemade Cheong Fun


I have a great fun making these cheong fun, which is simple and easy, with a bit of patience you are able to enjoy it.  It is so delicious, and is not as oily as the Yum Cha place definitely.  The sauce is something never to be missed!

Blueberry Avocado Ice Cream ( no churn)



Quick and easy, no heavy cream, egg or sugar used here. No churning needed.
My children think it is more like a sorbet but they loved it anyway.

Fan Tuan / Chi Fan ( Sticky Rice )

This is my son's favourite, he can actually have it as his proper meal too. I often make lots so he can bring for school lunch.  Good to eat it warm or at room temperature too. Youtiao has to be pre-toasted so you get some crispy texture from the bite, I was very generous with the fillings this time, I added fried black sesame on the rice for aroma and nutrients.
For my Fan Tuan, I just wrapped it with free hand. I find it very easy to handle this way. You can to use sushi mat or a clean towel wrapped inside a plastic bag to support and wrap it up. The rice has to be warm when doing the wrapping. It does harden when it cools down.
