I’ve been baking quite a bit lately, thanks to my new KitchenAid 7-Quart Stand Mixer (enter to win here) that my friend at KithenAid sent me. This past weekend, I baked a batch of spritz cookies using my favorite cookie recipe, and they were gone in no time. (Spritz cookies are basically butter cookies made with a cookie press.) These…
Contributor: Ho Siew Loon I have always loved baking. One of my friends has asked me to bake something savoury for a change and Bee gave me an idea of coming out with buns wrapped in different types of filling and toppings. I decided to combine two sinfully good ingredients—ham and cheese. It was quite challenging to bake these ham and…
Contributor: Ho Siew Loon Baking has always been my cup of tea. And I would say that I love to bake breads and buns for my family and friends. With some leftover red bean paste in the refrigerator, I have decided to clear it up by making some of these beautiful red bean buns (or rolls). I am really happy…

Every year, the bakery would sponsor their cream puffs to the students at the school; we would bring back a box filled with the sweet, puffy,…
I have wanted to make sausage rolls for the longest time. I spotted the sausage rolls recipe on both Food-4Tots and also Christine’s Recipes and added it to my to-bake list…finally, I found the time to bake these goodies. This sausage roll is probably more Asian than western baking. If I am not mistaken, it’s probably a Cantonese creation. If…
I have long heard about the legendary Mexican coffee bun or Rotiboy, a made-in-Malaysia bun with a crusty coffee topping and butter filling. The word “Mexican” might be misleading but this bun originated from a bakery in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, and now Mexican coffee bun is famous all over Asia, with many bakeries and copycat bakeries selling this popular Mexican…
It’s amazing how time flies, it’s almost August. I hope everyone is enjoying summer and busy firing up your grill for BBQ parties. Every summer, I host a small BBQ party where I invite only a few close friends—every year there is a theme, we dress up, eat really good food, and just enjoy the warm summer days. This year…
