Garlic Noodles

Garlic Noodles

About four years ago, I shared my take on the Vietnamese-style garlic noodles made famous by the An family of Crustacean restaurant.

That’s the fun of cooking—our cooking skills and techniques…

Spritz Cookies

Spritz Cookies

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…

Ham and Cheese Buns

Ham and Cheese Buns

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…

My contributor Pick Yin at Life is Great is here to share her carrot…

Cream Puffs

Cream Puffs

I first fell in love with cream puffs when I was in primary school. In my class, there was this boy whose father owned a popular bakery shop and their specialty was cream puffs. 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,…

Sausage Rolls

Sausage Rolls

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…

Mexican Coffee Bun (Rotiboy)

Mexican Coffee Bun (Rotiboy)

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…
