This is a little late as mid-autumn festival was celebrated last week. Since I’m such a lover of mooncakes, I can’t help posting what we bought this year. We try to minimize the amount of mooncakes we consume due to health reasons *grins*. Anyway, this is a box consisting of Read More ...

Ya ya, I know. I’m so kiasu. I just needed to try and improve on the earlier batch of paus. Made another attempt and this time, the texture was much better….or should I say soft and more fluffy. Can you see the difference as compared to my first attempt? Read More ...
