Butter Cookies Recipe

How time flies. It was just like yesterday when the world was gearing up for Y2K bug and the potential millennium meltdown; fast forward 10 years, we are counting down to 2010, and 45 days left on 2009. It’s almost that time of year again. I might be slightly early this year in terms of baking, but I have good…

Ever since I set eyes on Annie’s marble cake post, the image of her rich, buttery, chocolaty marble cake has made quite an impression on me. Annie is a superb baker and she once shared her aunt’s butter cake recipe with me that had me oooh and ahhh for the delicious great taste. I know her marble cake recipe will…

Pound Cake Recipe

I am a bad passenger, airlines don’t like me. I am a magazine hog who snatches every in-flight magazine, pile them up in my seat, never return them back to the rack, and then I rip off interesting pages on these magazines. (Oops, did I just confess my dirty secrets?!) Yes, I am one of those passengers that flight attendants…

A few nights ago, I met up with my friends at Izakaya by Katsu-Ya in LA. We ordered many delicious Japanese dishes, two servings of chilled sake and chatted our night away.

Banana Bread (Banana Cake) Recipe

I had gone completely bananas with this delicious banana bread. (Banana bread is also known as “banana cake” outside of the United States.)

Shortbread Cookies Recipe

One thing I resolved to do better is learning how to bake, so when I was home this past trip, I managed to pick up a ton of baking essentials: cookie cutters, scale, baking thermometer, cake tester, scraping spoons, etc. (Things are a lot cheaper in Malaysia despite the weak dollars!). Last weekend, I unwrapped all my shiny new baking…

Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe

Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe

My neighborhood Ralph is giving away more eggs–another carton of 18 large eggs–so that gives me another shot of cultivating the inner-baker in me. I baked a pound cake. With some blueberries. It was yum. (I finally made good use of the bundt pan that I bought months ago.) After a few failed attempts–which I chose not to document here–I…

Lobster Recipe: Stir-fried Lobster with Butter and Cheese (芝士牛油焗龙虾)

I am not done with my lobster. I told you I had three recipes to share, and I haven’t forgotten about it.

Anyway, this is the final installment of my lobster series –stir-fried lobster with…
