Bread Making

My aunt makes very soft and good bread.
Had the honour of her coming over to my place to teach my mum and I the skills of bread making....

 

After my first attempt with help from my aunt making bread i concluded that bread is not that difficult but neither is it easy to make. Alot of time and effort needs to be taken to make the bread. And not only must you wait during proofing, after you put it into a tin you still have to wait for another round of proofing for the dough to rise so that your bread will be soft. It's a good learning experience to make breads and you get to add in any flavour or ingredient that you would like into the bread. =))

The loaf bread is oat flavour and the round ones are coffee flavour. 

It was an enriching experience to know how bread is made from just simple ingredients and how you can actually manipulate it to make all sorts of breads. 

Do drop a comment if you want the recipe but it's good to learn from someone because it isn't easy manipulating it from the recipe if you know nothing about bread making.

I left out eggs and cold water in my ingredients

Cakes and birthdays ♥

My 21st birthday on 7 Nov 2010
Celebrated it earlier with my family and close friends....

 My birthday cake from pine gardens... I really love the way it looked! They made me happy just by looking at it. =)) ♥
2 tiers with 2 different flavours....

My dad's birthday some time ago and this was his cake! D24 durian cake from emi cakes!
Let me tell you, the price is a little expensive for a cake but after you've tasted it, it's all worth while!
For those durian lovers out there, this is ABSOLUTE HEAVEN which will not cost you a bomb just yet. In fact, it's their lowest range of durian cake but it tastes oh so good! The durian is so rich and together with the cake, it complements so well.

My birthday buffet for my family and friends!
I had a wonderful day! ♥

Sushi!

My mum and I had a sudden craving for sushi on my birthday day and we decided to pop by our nearest sushi outlet in our area.
Sakae Sushi.....

 My all time favourite sushi, soft shell crab sushi

 Salmon sashimi

 Japanese ginger

Shishamo fish. To me it's know as the egg fish simply because it's loaded with eggs inside! My mum loves it. I'm afraid of it by just looking at it.

 Fried maki

 Tempura Vegetables

The conveyor belt setting seen in most sushi restaurants. What is your view on these kind of setting? Is it good? Why? Convenient? Get to choose and see before you eat??
A question to ponder, since there is the conveyor belt, why are the restaurants still charging service charge since most sushi outlets come with a monitor screen for you to order what you want.... ????

It was my first time dealing with a live crab. It was not easy trying to pull the shell out but it was a good learning experience to cook flower crab in my microteaching class. The end result was fantastic! The crabs tasted great even though I was rather afraid of live crabs. 

FISH! Something that i don't like when it is not in the fillet form. I remembered washing the fish when i was in my secondary school days but this is a good memory refresh on how to clean a fish.

 Ta-da! Clean and seasoned!

Tempura prawns with wasabi mayonnaise sauce =))
I know how to clean and de-vein the prawns therefore it was a rather simple task. But making the batter was something that i learnt from this dish.

 

The cucumber fan garnishing that i made!
