Time for some Canelés de Bordeaux - made vanilla

Time for some Canelés de Bordeaux - made vanilla and matcha flavours.

Filled moulds were placed on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil. Baking tray sits on a preheated baking steel @steelcraft_sg
These were baked in @dedietrich_asia oven at 250C for 20mins bottom fan heat. Then temperature reduced to 200C, 10min, and lastly at 180C, for 15min. The Canelés were perfectly baked with a golden crown at the first attempt this round. Yay!

Visit to Hong Kong.

Some of the places we went that I would go back again :

Hip Coffee Joints : NOC (Sai Ying Pun)

Hazukido (Olympian City), had a wide variety of different flavoured croissants, and both sweet & savoury.

Porridge and Beef Noodles : Sang Kee Porridge (Sheung Wan)

Roast Goose / Meat : Chukfo Taipan Restaurant (Wanchai)

Hotpot : Suppa Hotpot (Causeway Bay). It's best to make a reservation before getting there.

Wanton Noodles : Mak's Noodles (Tsim Sha Tsui)

Claypot Rice : Kwan Kee (Queen's Road West) Only if you are prepared to queue. Do not take reservations.
Or Kun Kee, a much smaller eatery along our hotel. The Claypot rice was pretty good too. Love the wok hei and crispy rice base.

Dried Seafood : Lam Kee Seafood (Wilmer Street, Sai Ying Pun)

Wife Cakes and Phoenix Cookies : Kee Wah Bakery. Many branches within the city.

Foot reflexology : Zen Massage (located at a residential bldg - Hyde Park Mansion, Causeway Bay) Best to book before heading there.

We stayed here: Best Western Plus Hong Kong (Sai Ying Pun) worked out to be S$52/night/pax, and a convenient location to get to places. The tram stop just right in front of the hotel, and MTR station was only a 5 min walk.

Temperature at this time of the year was just right hovering around 18C - 20C. Overall a very fruitful trip despite the wet days (raining 2 out of the 3 days we were there).

Thanks to @chompmom for some of her recommendations.

My last trip to HK must have been close to 10 year

My last trip to HK must have been close to 10 years ago. This time we didn't break the bank as we ate and shop reasonably 😁

The trip was an impromptu one when my 2 siblings managed to each win a free CX ticket to Hong Kong during the recent promotion in March. So some of these promotions actually works and not just a marketing gimmick to collect database.

Naturally it was an easy decision to join them on the trip. The rest of us bought budget air tickets, and I must say that the flight back via Hongkong Express was very pleasant. It was a smaller plane compared to Scoot but it was a new aircraft and overall a comfortable ride.

I was looking forward to it very much. 1/ to get a first immigration stamp on my new passport 2/ Get to eat all the yummy Cantonese HK food that we miss, and 3/ More importantly spending time with the extended family - which was such a rare opportunity. Travelling with my nieces was fun.

This was supposed to be a free and easy trip with no planned itinerary. We just had two things that we must do. EAT and SHOP. Managed to ✅ Porridge, dim sum, roast goose, hotpot, breakfast at a 'chachantang', beef and wanton noodles, and a tram ride to Sheung Wan's dried seafood street to replenish our supplies. Oh and not forgetting a stop at Staccato to get shoes.

We also chanced upon a dessert shop that serves delicious Cantonese soupy desserts. I had the almond cream with egg white which was especially warming on a wet rainy day. The rest of them had the usual gingko nut soybean skin, black sesame tangyuan in ginger broth, white fungus, and mango sago coconut cream. They were all good.

Will share the recommendations in the next post.

On days when you don’t have the bandwidth to do

On days when you don’t have the bandwidth to do massive cooking and you just yearn for a simple but delicious meal, try making this White Wine, Parmesan and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Linguine. So simple yet so satisfying.

I'm just slowly getting back my momentum to update my website so hopefully I can keep at it with the recipes I'm creating. Experimental recipes are not added, only tested and proven ones.

I'm setting myself a target of at least one recipe a week starting today! Recipe link in the bio.

Grilled Pork Satay with Thai Spices and Peanut Sau

Grilled Pork Satay with Thai Spices and Peanut Sauce. Served with grilled tofu and tempeh, cherry tomatoes, cucumber in Sherry Vinaigrette.

I used a mix of pork collar and belly so that the texture will stay moist with the fats from the belly.

Onion and Gruyère gougères.

A French baked savoury choux pastry made using a choux dough mixed with caramelized onions and gruyère. Typical cheese used may be Gruyère, Comté or Emmental. I happen to have the ingredients readily available in the chiller. These gougères are so addictive! The combination of caramelized onions and cheese makes these little snacks magically moreish.

Recipe is from @michaeljamesbakes "All Day Baking" savoury, not sweet recipe book.

I'm going to make this again this weekend for my working lunch. 🤗

It has become a tradition for me to bake these lit

It has become a tradition for me to bake these little gems with added spice and sweetness every year for Good Friday. They are symbolic of this significant day in the Christian faith when Jesus was crucified. Each bun is decorated with a cross made from flour paste, which represents the cross on which Christ died. The spices (cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg) in hot cross buns are said to represent the spices that were used to embalm Christ after his death.

How to eat hot cross buns? The traditional way to eat hot cross buns is fresh, toasted under the grill, or warmed in the oven, cut across its width and slathered with plenty of good quality butter.

Got extras? Keep them in the freezer and it can last for months. Just thaw and warm it up in the oven and it taste as fresh as new.

Some myths I read recently about #hcbs.

They expel bad spirits.
If you hang a hot cross bun from your kitchen rafters on Good Friday, legend has it that the bread will remain fresh and mold-free throughout the entire year. This harkens back to the body of Christ, which, according to the Bible, did not show any signs of decay after his crucifixion and prior to his resurrection. The bun should be replaced each year on Good Friday.

And cement friendships.
Those who share a hot cross bun are supposed to enjoy a strong friendship and bond for the next year. A line from an old rhyme captures this lore: "Half for you and half for me, between us two, good luck shall be."

I'm going to try hang one in my kitchen to see how long it will last!

Happy Easter! 😊

I personally prefer eating rustic type or simple fruit cakes as compared to cheese or heavy loaded cream cakes so naturally I'm more inclined to bake these as well.

This Apple Streusel Cake was baked at a very last minute request for a friend's dad who is celebrating his birthday today. So glad to hear that he loved it!

I added chopped up apple pie filling into the batter for this German Apple Streusel Cake which kept the cake really moist. And topped it with peeled quartered apples before adding the Streusel.

Just completed another "Introduction To Sourdough"

Just completed another "Introduction To Sourdough" baking class this week at La Galerie De Dietrich @dedietrich_asia. We had a group of bakers who have had some previous knowledge of sourdough baking but joined the workshop as they hope to take their baking to the next level!

Starting to enjoy these multi-seeded ciabiatta more than the regular sourdough. Just smear on some butter is all you will need. Bite into the buttery, crusty and nutty slice, and it's so worth the effort! #supercrunch

I take orders for these too. PM if interested.

Experimental bake:
Osmanthus, gojiberries and sesame seeds at 80% hydration. I also added 1% probiotics to this bake which makes the dough alot easier to handle, not forgetting the health benefits it adds to the sourdough.

To many, the amount of time taken to bake a loaf of naturally leavened sourdough sometimes seems like it does not equate to the effort spent on it but once you get into the swing of it, it becomes a natural process like how we learn a new dance. After many rounds of practice, the muscle memory kicks in. That's the time when u can read your dough instead of watch the time.
