After 1 hour. Just poke a hole in the dough. If it stays then proofing is done.<br />

But the amount of time puts me off.<br />
<br />
Saw this one-time fermentation method and I made it immediately!<br />
<br />
Recipe is taken from blog Xingfuzhiwei.<br />
<br />
<b>Recipe</b> (For 8cm x 8cm square pan)<br />
<br />
300g bread flour<br />
35g sugar<br />
3g salt<br />
3g instant yeast<br />
1 egg<br />
170g milk<br />
30g butter<br />
<br />
<a href="https://xingfuzhiwei.blogspot.sg/2017/07/egg-milk-bread-just-once-fermentation.html">https://xingfuzhiwei.blogspot.sg/2017/07/egg-milk-bread-just-once-fermentation.html</a><br />
<br />
1. I knead the dough using the breadmaker for a complete cycle of 25 minutes. Then restart and knead for another 10 minutes till the dough pass the window-pane test.<br />
<br />
2. Roll the dough round, cover and set aside for 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
3. Divide the dough into 9 equal portions. Roll round, cover and set aside for 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
4. Roll the doughs round again and put into pan.<br />
<br />
5. Cover and proof for for 45 minutes to 1 hour or double in size. <br />
<br />
6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 170 deg C for 20 to 25 minutes.<br />
<br />
I'm using a large egg. I reduce the liquid to 160g. But dough is still quite sticky. Still not experienced enough to adjust the liquid level.<br />
<br />

The same Wu Pao Chun bread, replacing with 30g wholemeal flour.<br />

Did a little experiment. Tested a 500g loaf using 750g option. <br />
<br />
Using soft bread, 750g, light crust.<br />
<br />
It takes 2 hours and 55 minutes, about 30 minutes longer than a 500g loaf. The kneading time is 40 minutes, longer proofing time and I think it also bakes during the last 45 minutes (I wasn't there to monitor).<br />

Both recipes are reasonably soft. Still looking for the best one.<br />

<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Sugar twist bread</span></b></div>
<br />
Wanted to try making this bread that I often buy from bakery.<br />
<br />
Can refer here for the shaping part, though I'm not using the same recipe.<br />

<br />
I used back the first recipe I have tried. I like that it uses vegetable oil. Healthier.<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
<br />
160g cold water<br />
45g raw sugar (I use white sugar)<br />
3g salt<br />
20g coconut oil (I use vegetable oil)<br />
210g bread flour<br />
50g top/cake flour<br />
3/4 tsp instant dry yeast<br />

First time shaping and baking bread in oven ever since I bought the breadmaker. <br />
<br />
Dough is a little sticky. Shaping not very well done though. There's always a first time!<br />
<br />
(Wanted to take photos on the shaping part. But very troublesome.)<br />

<br />
Take the dough out, punch out the air, and divide into 4 equal portions. Roll into balls and rest for 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
Roll each portion into a long rope shape until length is twice of pan. Hold the 2 ends and twist until tight. Then join the 2 ends and seal.<br />

<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">I'm starting breadmaking all over again!</span></b></div>
<br />
After contemplating for the longest time, I bought a Mayer Breadmaker, immediately after I saw a great deal online!<br />
<br />
Ever since the previous breadmaker broken down, I'm afraid to invest in another one. Afraid that it will break down without using much (the previous spoilt in less than 3 years). Afraid that I will not use it frequently as time goes on.<br />
<br />
Still I have been waiting for promotions for breadmakers, searching online shopping websites for any good deals, and even thought of getting from Taobao. Looking for a basic and cheaper one to play with.<br />
<br />
Finally, I saw the great deal and bought without hesistation! From a carousell seller who got it as free gift. It's brand new at $60! Model is MMBM12 (750g). Glove included.<br />
<br />
It has been 1 week since I bought the breadmaker. Have made bread 3 times with it and sharing over here.<br />
<br />

I'm using the <a href="http://mymindpatch.blogspot.sg/2016/05/breadmaker-amish-white-bread.html">Amish White Bread</a> recipe from My Mind Patch as I found she's using the same Mayer breadmaker. A good read to familiarize with this breadmaker.<br />

My first simple white bread. Not bad! Crust a bit too light, a bit moist (maybe I cut when still warm), bad slicing! Overall it's very soft, a bit chewy, and mildly sweet. <br />

The 2 other breads I'm using recipes from this Chinese breadmaker book which I bought even before I decided on buying a breadmaker!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Basic white bread</span></b></div>
<br />
This is the first and most basic recipe in this book. So just try. There's no oil and butter in it at all.<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
<br />
190ml cold water<br />
20g sugar<br />
5g salt<br />
250g bread flour<br />
3g (3/4 tsp) instant dry yeast<br />
<br />

<br />
1. Using soft bread, 500g, dark crust.<br />
2. Dough seems to be a bit wet. In fact the water content seems to be slightly higher for this book.<br />
3. Out of breadmaker. The top always not dark enough.<br />
4. Rougher and more crumbly. Expected. Tiny bit of saltiness.<br />

Cutting out. Nice golden yellow! Some holes, due to air pockets, and maybe the pumpkin bits.<br />
<br />
It's quite soft, and some sweetness from the pumpkin.<br />

Sharing the recipe here. It's a very simple chocolate chiffon cake recipe which uses only cocoa powder for the chocolate flavour. I always go for simple recipe which saves time. There's no need to melt chocolate and wash extra utensils. It also serves as a basic recipe which you can add extra for more variations. The taste is also good too. Remember to use good quality cocoa powder!<br />

I only start to read up for recipes and ideas for what I want to try this year the day before I start baking! Plan was to bake 3 types of cookies, 2 of which are new tries. I don't need to bake a lot. Just dedicate 1 day of mass baking! Wash also once! Lazy! Haha!<br />
<br />
The ugly side of baking. Mess in the kitchen plus dining area. Small production only. My 3 types of cookie doughs. <br />

Second cookies is what I have been baking every year since 2011!<br />
<br />
Remember my <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2015/02/sheep-design-melt-in-mouth-german.html">Sheep design melt-in-mouth German cookies</a> last year? So cute right? <br />
<br />
Want to make monkey design for the Monkey Year. And they end up looking like this! (Idea from <a href="http://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/2266881/fondant-monkey-ladybug-bee">here</a>). Look like or not? It's very difficult to shape as the dough is very soft.<br />
<br />
Before it goes into the oven!<br />

Last one is a type of refrigerator (icebox) cookies which I have never tried before. Mainly because it needs to chill and shape repeatedly. <br />
<br />
Too bad I failed so badly that I feel embarrassed to show. But must keep record still. It's supposed to look like monkey, only the top left one look slightly better. The rest er... all out of shape due to me very inexperienced in baking cookies (like only once a year haha). So disappointed as it takes up the most time. It's ok. I tried! And I think I know where I went wrong. I should keep the cookies in the freezer because the cookies were not hard enough. So went out of shape when I cut. <br />

<b>Ingredients</b><br />
<br />
85g butter, softened at room temperature<br />
40g caster sugar<br />
125g all purpose flour<br />
10g corn flour<br />
1/8 tsp baking powder<br />
2 cooked salted egg yolks, mashed<br />
<br />
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten to glaze<br />
black sesame seeds to sprinkle<br />
<br />
<b>Method</b><br />
<br />
1. Using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy.<br />
<br />
2. Sift flour, corn flour, baking powder into the butter mixture and use a spatula to mix until the flour mixture is totally absorbed into the butter mixture. <br />
<br />
3. Then stir in the mashed salted egg yolks and gather the crumbs to form a soft pliable dough. Wrap dough in cling film and allow it to rest in the fridge for at least 30 mins.<br />
<br />
4. Line baking trays with baking paper and preheat oven to 170 deg C.<br />
<br />
5. Place dough on a lightly floured surface to roll into 3 mm thickness and cut them into shapes using your desired cookie cutter. Brush the cookies with egg yolk and sprinkle sesame seeds on them and bake for 15 mins or until golden brown. <br />

Maybe the oven is getting old and temperamental. Finally I baked a tall chiffon cake that did not lose height upon cooling. The trick is to use a lower baking temperature (for my oven).<br />
<br />
The satisfaction of a beautiful chiffon cake!<br />

Pumpkin gives the cake a bright yellow colour. I always prefer cakes with natural colouring with no additives. I never use baking powder or cream of tartar for my chiffon cakes. It is not necesssary to ensure a successful bake! Do give it a try!<br />

<b>Pumpkin Chiffon Cake</b><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b> (17cm chiffon tin)<br />
<br />
100g pumpkin, steamed and mashed and mixed with<br />
1-2 tbsp milk (optional, I omitted)<br />
<br />
3 egg yolks<br />
20g caster sugar<br />
50ml vegetable oil (I use 40g)<br />
40ml water<br />
80g cake flour<br />
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon powder (I omitted)<br />
<br />
4 egg whites<br />
50g caster sugar (I used 40g)<br />
<br />
<b>Method:</b><br />
<br />
1. Steam pumpkin until soft (about 10min), mashed with 1-2 tbsp of milk (adjust or omit depending on the consistency)<br />
2. Whisk in egg yolks and sugar until the sugar dissolves.<br />
3. Gradually add in vegetable oil, followed by water.<br />
4. Add sifted cake flour and cinnamon powder and mix until just combined. Set aside.<br />
5. In another bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Add in sugar gradually and continue whisking until stiff peak form.<br />
6. Gently fold in the egg white into the egg yolk batter (in step 4) in 3 batches. <br />
7. Pour the batter into an ungreased chiffon tin. Give the tin a few slight knocks on the tabletop to remove air bubbles. Bake in preheated oven at 160 deg C for 40 minutes. <br />
8. Remove from oven and invert the tin immediately onto a cooling rack.<br />
9. Unmould the cake only when it is completely cool.<br />

I find that the taste of breads/buns from neighbourhood bakeries are getting worse. I wonder if it is because they are using low quality or unhealthy type of oil or butter/margarine that makes me feel yucky after eating. The upmarket bakeries are slightly better but the price of one bun is close to eating a meal in hawker centre and the bun is so small not enough to fill the stomach.<br />
<br />
I really long having a nice home-baked bread. But without a mixer and bread machine, it is really very troublesome, tiring and time consuming to make breads at home.<br />
<br />
While going through my old photos, I found these no-knead breads that I baked in 2011 which I totally forgotten to post and hardly remember I baked them before! I added apples and omitted the cinnamon because I don't like cinnamon taste.<br />

I decided to revisit this recipe again. It is from Happy Home Baking's <a href="http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.sg/2011/09/magical-rolls.html">Magical Rolls</a> recipe. <br />
<br />
I stick to the recipe and made the Sugar Rolls (cinnamon omitted again).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Making the no-knead bread dough:</span></b></div>
<br />
1. Mix 250ml milk, 50g sugar and 62.5ml vegetable oil in a pan. <br />
Heat the mixture until just before boiling (I off heat when start to see steam). Leave to cool for 45min to 1 hour.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfgRJG5sSl8NSzW-2LxHvNs5L8d9ik7aDFydsq6qUcyYGqFXyW6ZGStWAKo-1UmPB73L5mSXssOoyJBsSqcA4Kag7HwLA8IrjC8g-N6wkKP_Ti4F1IMw_rxmPEQ5pJJXQQV_8M9hDx5l-/s1600/noknead1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnfgRJG5sSl8NSzW-2LxHvNs5L8d9ik7aDFydsq6qUcyYGqFXyW6ZGStWAKo-1UmPB73L5mSXssOoyJBsSqcA4Kag7HwLA8IrjC8g-N6wkKP_Ti4F1IMw_rxmPEQ5pJJXQQV_8M9hDx5l-/s640/noknead1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Place 250g plain flour and 1 tsp instant yeast in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the above mixture. Stir with a spatula until the mixture comes together to form a thick batter. Cover and let the batter sit for at least 1 hour.<br />
<br />

<br />
3. Add in 30g plain flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp (scant) baking soda and 3/4 tsp salt. Stir until the mixture comes together. Cover and leave to chill in fridge overnight. (Note: dough will be more firm and easier to work with if left to chill in fridge).<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">For Sugar Rolls:</span></b></div>
<br />
50g sugar + 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (mix well)<br />
50g unsalted butter (melted)<br />
<br />
1. Dust the work surface freely with flour. Dust the top and bottom of dough with flour. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape. Then roll out as thin as possible. Dust the dough and work surface with flour when necessary.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2. Brush the rolled out dough with melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly over the surface.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3. Start from the opposite end of the dough, roll the dough neatly in a line towards you. Roll as tightly as possible. Dust fingers with flour if the dough feels sticky. Pinch the seams to seal.<br />
<br />

<br />
4. Cut into 1 inch thick slices and arrange on baking pan lined with parchment paper (or greased with butter). Place the rolls close together so that they are almost touching. (sorry the buns I made are a bit smaller)<br />
<br />

<br />
5. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour or until the rolls double in size. (Note: the rolls can be left to chill in the fridge over night and bake them the next morning. If rolls have doubled in size, bake them right away. Otherwise leave to sit on counter until double in size before baking.)<br />

<br />
I become so excited that I tried the second time, making them into buns. But remind you that the dough is very soft and sticky to actually shape them properly, so my buns are not very well-shaped.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">For Rotiboy Coffee Buns:</span></b></div>
<br />
Topping ingredients:<br />
50g unsalted butter<br />
50g caster sugar (I reduced to 20g)<br />
50g egg, lightly beaten<br />
50g cake flour<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee powder <br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1/2 teaspoon warm water<br />
<br />
1. Dissolve instant coffee powder with the warm water, mix in vanilla extract. Set aside.<br />
2. Beat the butter with caster sugar, until light and fluffy. Add the beaten egg one teaspoon at a time, beat well after each addition (add in egg gradually to prevent the mixture from curdling). Add in the coffee mixture gradually, beat well after each addition. Sieve over the cake flour. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Transfer topping into piping bag fixed with pipping nozzle (round tip). Let the topping chill in the fridge until needed. Remove from fridge about 5~10mins earlier before use to allow the topping to soften a little. <br />
<br />
<b>Method:</b><br />
<br />
1. Follow the steps of making the <span style="color: purple;"><b>no-knead bread dough</b></span>. After chilling overnight, dust the work surface and dough freely with flour. Divide the dough into 30g each (feel free to make bigger buns). Roll each dough into smooth rounds and place on a lined tray. Space doughs two inches apart to allow them to expand. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour or until the rolls double in size. <br />
<br />
2. Pipe topping onto each dough. Make sure to cover the entire surface with the topping. <br />

<br />
Let me sum up my experience.<br />
<br />
The advantages of this recipe is, first it is a no-knead bread, so no more tiring hands. Second, there's less waiting time, I just throw into the fridge overnight and shape and bake the bread next morning. Third, it uses plain flour which I use commonly and do not have to get bread flour as I seldom make breads. And last, they do taste like soft buns, reasonably close to the bread method. Quite amazing!<br />
<br />
But I do not like that baking powder and baking soda have to be added, probably to make it rise better, as I try to avoid too many chemicals in homebakes. I tried to omit them for the rotiboy buns and results in flatter buns but stay good. Also the dough is extremely soft and sticky so will have a bit of problem if you intend to shape into little buns.<br />

Had wanted to visit it during the Golden Jubilee Weekend but couldn't due to the rain. It's ok, I just missed out on the concert and the fringe activities that's all. It's better now as less crowded too.<br />
<br />
The reason we are here is because there is free Admission into <a href="https://www.sbg.org.sg/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=34&Itemid=58">National Orchid Garden</a> (until 31 Aug). And also as you know, Singapore Botanic Gardens has been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 4 2015. It is Singapore's first World Heritage site and the third Botanic Gardens to be listed as a World Heritage Site, after Kew Gardens in England and the Padua Gardens in Italy.<br />

We missed out some areas like the Vanda Miss Joaquim display, Heritage Orchid Display and Yuen-Peng McNeice Bromeliad Collection. Really amazed, I have never seen so many orchid varieties! It is my first time here. How can I only find interest in the Botanic Gardens after so many years? How can I as a Singaporean!!<br />
<br />
On the way back to the Tanglin Gate. We spotted the iconic Tembusu tree, the tree that is depicted at the back of Singapore's $5 notes. It is estimated to be about 170 years old. The area around the tree had to be fenced up in recent years due to damage to its roots and the low-hanging branch had to be supported. <br />

Enjoyable time. Hope to be back more often to explore other areas in the Botanic Gardens. Btw, I think SBG should consider permanent daily shuttle bus services within the gardens and the main gates. It's quite tiring especially for elderly and without own transport to walk so far distance, especially the main attractions are in the Central Core. Hope to see this service soon.Small Small Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034230982210905195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762565133976251398.post-21422215061963223662015-08-30T12:00:00.000+08:002015-08-30T12:02:26.343+08:00Singapore Science Centre and SG50 Lego SetI had planned to do many things during the Golden Jubilee Weekend for SG50, like visiting the Botanic Gardens, Black Knights aerial display, free entry to ArtScience Museum and free cable car ride at Sentosa. But all plans were spoilt due to the rain and long queues that took hours, which led to my laziness to just stay away from the crowd. I have patience for everything except waiting and queueing!<br />
<br />
So in the end, the only place I visited was the Singapore Science Centre (again). I intended to go for the free entry to Omni-Theatre as it was a long time since I watched show there. But this was what I saw at the entrance! All FULL!<br />

Exiting the exhibition, it was back to the Singapore Science Centre. I wasn't quite interested as I visited quite a few times <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2015/04/trips-to-singapore-science-centre-2013.html">before</a>. They were more or less the same and also too many people. I checked that there was a new show - The Art Chemist Science Show going to start soon. Yes, so I watched it. It was quite ordinary except the last part that excited the audience. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm expecting to be able to build the 3 buildings separately and display them. Only realize after opening the set that there is only 1 base and some of the parts are shared, which makes it impossible to build 3 at the same time. Why like that? Small disappointment.</div>

I baked them long time ago in <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2007/12/nutella-muffins.html">2007</a> when I just started baking. At that time there weren't many baking blogs to follow. Precious Moments was one of them. This is a really easy recipe suitable for beginners and even children.<br />
<br />
I grabbed the 1-for-1 Nutella promotion from NTUC fairprice during CNY, 2x1kg bottles at only $9.80! Now I have a task of 'clearing' it. Actually not much a problem as I can eat bread with Nutella everyday! Can spread more generously!<br />

Edith reposted the <a href="http://rumblingtummy23.blogspot.sg/2015/02/nutella-cupcake.html">recipe</a> in her new blog and after looking at it, I was so anxious to try it again after so many years. The swirls were done by my niece. The cupcakes were finished up by them very quickly. A good recipe if you need to bake something quick.<br />

<br />
It's the Birthday Special offer by <a href="http://www.wrs.com.sg/">Wildlife Reserves Singapore</a>, where we can enjoy free admissions to the 4 parks - Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari, River Safari and Singapore Zoo on the actual date of your birthday. On top of that, there is 1 complimentary ice-cream at each park and also 10% off retail and F&B. This offer is for all Singaporeans and permanent residents.<br />
<br />
After knowing about this promotion, I was so looking forward to my birthday and planning the activities. I decided to choose going to the <a href="http://www.riversafari.com.sg/">River Safari</a> and <a href="http://www.zoo.com.sg/">Singapore Zoo</a> only. Will leave the other 2 parks for next year maybe? Haha!<br />
<br />
So on my birthday, which was actually in April, took a bus to Choa Chu Kang interchange and changed to bus 927 which stops at Singapore Zoo and operates on weekdays. I arrived at 9am sharp. <br />

There are 2 boat rides here. The River Safari Cruise and Amazon River Quest. There's a ticketing booth here. The price is $5 for 1 ride or $8 for both. I chose Amazon River Quest only. Before that, I read the map that is 1 small exhibit near the entrance to the ride. Think many people may miss it.<br />

A leisure boat ride to watch the wildlife, however, you need some luck to spot the animals. I didn't manage to see many maybe due to the hot weather during noon time. There are a few less than exciting rapids. But overall the ride was quite boring. Haha!<br />

<br />
To the Amazon Flooded Forest. It's the world's largest freshwater aquarium exhibit. I must say a big WOW, it's definitely the 2nd best after the Giant Panda Forest in River Safari.<br />
<br />
First is the viewing tunnel to watch the Giant River Otters swim. I was pretty disappointed as it was completely empty. The best viewing time is in the early morning and late afternoon.<br />
<br />

A surprise when I reached the upper level. Know where the Giant River Otters went to? They were at the surface of the exhibit, swimming and basking in the sun. Hehe!<br />

The River Safari ended here. I went out, before that, remember to get a chop from the staff so that I could re-enter later for the Squirrel Monkey Forest.<br />
<br />
A souvenir shop. There is also another dining area, the River Safari Tea House.<br />

In here, you can easily see many squirrel monkeys running and swinging around. Photos are a bit hard to take though because they are simply too quick!<br />

They are moving very freely. So food and drink are not allowed in this exhibit. In case they might snatch your food. I was a bit worried when they were running above my head! :)<br />
<br />
So this ended my more than half a day in River Safari. I quickly proceeded to the Singapore Zoo. It was already 2pm. I think I had not much time to visit the animals. So just planned to watch all the shows if possible.<br />
<br />
Near the entrance of the zoo. The Cotton-top Tamarin.<br />

The next show - Elephants at Work and Play Show, starting at 3.30pm. I could have used the time to explore around. But the sky was turning dark. To avoid being caught in the rain, I moved on to the show area for shelter and wait for the show to start. True enough, the rain started. After a long wait, the host announced that the show might be cancelled due to bad weather. Luckily it continued.<br />

The rain reduced to a drizzle after the show ended. It was a bit too late to rush over to the Animal Friends Show at 4pm. So I took the time to explore a few exhibits before the last show of the day at 5pm.<br />
<br />
Went straight to Frozen Tundra to visit Inuka the Polar Bear. Resting and didn't get to see him swim.<br />

The original recipe is <a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/10/08/death-by-chocolate-peanut-butter-chip-cookies/">Death by Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies</a> from Sally's baking addiction. I didn't do much of change except omitting the chocolate chips and using all peanut butter chips only. Please also do reduce the sugar as the original recipe is extremely sweet!<br />

It's soft, dense and chewy type of chocolate cookies. Mine look a bit different from their version because I followed their recipe too exactly and fold in all the chips into the batter resulting in peanut butter chips hidden inside the cookies. If you want, you can put more chips on top of the cookie balls before baking so that they will appear more delicious!<br />
<br />
<b>Soft and chewy peanut butter chips chocolate cookies</b><br />
<br />
Ingredients (I make 48 pieces, about 20g each)<br />
<br />
75g unsalted butter, softened<br />
50g castor sugar<br />
150g light brown sugar (I reduced)<br />
<br />
2 large eggs, lightly beaten<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
<br />
225g dark/semi-sweet chocolate, chopped and melted<br />
<br />
133g plain flour<br />
21g cocoa powder<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
<br />
200g peanut butter chips (original uses 180g semi-sweet chocolate chips and 180g peanut butter chips)<br />
(can use all chocolate chips if preferred, can add or reduce if preferred, can top with extra chips if preferred)<br />
<br />
<b>Method</b><br />
<br />
1. Whisk butter until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in the sugars, the mixture will be granular.<br />
2. Mix in the beaten eggs and vanilla extract until incorporated. <br />
3. Add the melted chocolate in a steady stream and beat until combined.<br />
4. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and fold in the mixture. <br />
5. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Do not overmix. <br />
6. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes. (I chilled overnight)<br />
7. Measure dough into 20g each and roll into balls. (I use spoon to scoop instead of rolling as the dough turns soft fast)<br />
8. Bake at 175 deg C for 10 minutes or until the cookies have just begun to set with the centers still appearing very soft. They will firm up as they cool. <br />
9. Remove from oven. Leave the cookies to cool on baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to rack.<br />
(This is a soft and chewy cookies. If u prefer crispier cookies, leave the cookies in the tray for a longer time.)Small Small Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034230982210905195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762565133976251398.post-24781851303341664172015-05-04T11:03:00.001+08:002015-05-04T11:04:37.484+08:004-in-1 BrowniesThis was baked way back in October last year.

<br />
Used the old <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2013/07/oreo-brownies.html">brownies</a> recipe. I spread half of the brownie batter, added the kitkat, M&M's, marshmallows and oreo cookies in between and then topped with the rest of the batter. I was trying to imagine the surprise of biting the brownies and found the hidden 'treasures'!<br />

<br />
I suggest using a smaller square pan like 6 inch or 7 inch because mine was not quite enough to cover. And... after it was out of oven, it didn't come out as what I predicted! The marshmallows melted and the colours of the M&Ms leaked. Ohh! The result of acting smart.<br />

<br />
Still had to continue. Luckily I could cover all that up with a layer of ganache and adding the respective toppings. Remember to take note of the sequence of hidden ingredients you put earlier.<br />

What was in between the layers. Not as predicted though. M&Ms and marshmallow don't work. Always remember!<br />

Have you heard about the new lowered admission rates to Singapore Science Centre and Kids STOP? Now all Singaporeans and PRs can enjoy free admission to Science Centre on off-peak days (weekdays except school holidays). The peak day rates (weekends, school holidays and public holidays) have also been reduced. Ah, think we Singaporeans should have more discounts for entering other local attractions too.<br />
<br />
Reminded of me who made 5 trips to the Singapore Science Centre in 2013 due to a promotion then! Haha! Once I went alone, the other 4 times I brought my mum and my 3 nieces 1 at a time. Luckily we stayed so near. Think I will be making more trips there if time is available.<br />
<br />
Digged out the old photos and recalled my trips there. I didn't visit all exhibits and shows. Just show some of the interesting ones and worth watching. Please note that some of the exhibits and shows are different now.<br />
<br />
Here's the <a href="http://www.science.edu.sg/visitorinformation/PublishingImages/GalleryMap1200.jpg.jpg">Gallery Map</a> of the <a href="http://www.science.edu.sg/">Science Centre</a>.<br />

<br />
I suggest spending a whole day at the Science Centre. We did in every visit! Start the day early when it opens at 10am. You can have a filling breakfast at the McDonald's outside near the ticketing counters before entering.<br />
<br />
Upon entering, you will be at <b>The Mind's Eye</b>. This is where you see all kinds of optical illusions. <br />

This is <b>The Atrium</b> which is at the centre. You can enter other exhibits in all directions from here. Take note of all the show times and plan your time while looking through the exhibits. There are some shows at 11am. Basically we walked and looked around.<br />
<br />

At 12pm we went back to The Atrium for the <b>Tesla Coil Demonstration</b> here daily at 12pm. It is a must-see, where you experience the high voltage electrifying moments. <br />

There are 2 food outlets here side by side, mostly western style. As kids always liked, we went for rosemary chicken, fries, nuggets, hotdog, toasts and waffles. :)<br />

After lunch, we continued with the rest of the exhibits. As the kids are too young for the complicated Science, we visited the more interactive ones which were more interesting to them. Some of the kids favourites. <br />
<br />
<b>Earth: Our Untamed Planet</b><br />
Tried the earthquakes and typhoon simulator, although it was sometimes down.<br />

From here, there is a door where you can go out to <b>EcoGarden</b>. I brought my mum there as she loves gardening. Took so many photos that I spam some here. Well at the back of the post (in case too many).<br />
<br />
Depending on weekday or weekend, there are various shows at 2pm, 3pm, 3.30pm, 4pm. Do catch them.<br />
<br />
I strongly recommend the <b>Fire Tornado Demonstration</b> at 3pm (only once a day) at the Courtyard (same place as food outlets). Be there earlier to get a good place to sit/stand as it can get pretty crowded. <br />

We watched another <b>Science in the Kitchen</b> show at 4pm at the Auditorium. It was the best and my favourite show of all. It was fun, interactive and entertaining, you get a bit of science knowledge and the hosts were so humourous! Too bad this show is no longer available. I only have photos to show you.<br />

Let me tell you, this will be the bestest part of visiting the Science Centre for kids! <b>The Waterworks</b>! There are some science involved. The kids just love playing with water. Sometimes we visited at the end of the day and played as long as they can. Sometimes we went straight there at 10am because there were fewer people or in case it might rain in the afternoon. Whichever time, it will be a good waterplay area in Singapore now that admission is free!<br />

<br />
So, will end this post with lots and lots of photo of the <b>Ecogarden</b>!<br />

<br />
It was our last day here. So fast! We did not plan to go too far, so would be shopping around the area. As the shopping malls will only be opened at 10am and we had to check out at before noon, we found it troublesome to go out and then back again for check out. So after we had taken our breakfast at the hotel, we went back to pack and check out at around 10am and left our luggages there. This way we could go out until around 3pm before returning for our luggages and to the airport.<br />
<br />
The Tuk-tuks along the road. Did not take one so a photo shot will do!<br />

We walked over to <a href="http://www.mbk-center.co.th/en/home/index.php">MBK</a>. We had a very short time here on our first day. So explored the shops here. It was so huge that we ended up spending the rest of the time here and not anywhere.<br />

We spotted these cute and colourful food at the ground floor of MBK. Think it was some kind of food fair. These are called Luk Chup which are made of mung bean paste, coconut cream and set with clear gelatin and then shaped and coloured to look like miniature fruits and vegetables. Bought a packet to sample 40baht (~$1.67). Thought they will be very sweet. Surprisingly, I like them very much and we bought a few more packets to pack back to Singapore. :)<br />

We had our lunch at MBK food hall at 6th floor.<br />
<br />
Vegetarian mixed rice 50baht (~$2.09) is available here.<br />

Noodle soup with stewed duck 45baht (~$1.88). I seemed to like braised food alot, compared to the fried and spicy food which I am not used to. Haha!<br />

Mango sticky rice 120baht + 5baht for takeaway(~$5.22). Can't leave Bangkok without eating this!<br />

It was easy to meet Singaporeans in Bangkok. We met 2 who were shopping at MBK and chatted a bit and very coincidentally, they were also taking the same flight back to Singapore by Scoot later. They told us that MBK was also their last stop and they left their luggages at the Bag Deposit at 6th floor. We told them we stayed very near and did not need to use the service. But it is a good information for everyone and you can make MBK as last shopping mall if you want.<br />
<br />
We bought more stuffs from Tops market and Boots, a popular pharmacy chain from UK, Returned to our hotel to pick up our luggages and packed the last minute buys. Off to airport at 4pm. The taxi fare was 240baht + 2 toll charges 50baht and 25baht (paid along the way). Total taxi fare was 315baht (~$13.16). Reached at 5pm and taking the flight back at 8pm. Bye Bangkok! Although we did not visit many more places, I am sure I will be back!<br />

Thanks for joining me on a virtual trip. Thailand is such a wonderful country to visit. Shopping and eating everyday. Despite there was some political unrest. The place was very peaceful as normal. The people were very friendly. Communication was not a problem. Most can speak English. Some of them can speak Chinese and Teochew. We met Singaporeans everywhere. I hope for peace in the country!Small Small Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034230982210905195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762565133976251398.post-31836544941442204932015-02-23T12:00:00.000+08:002015-02-24T11:21:01.977+08:00Bangkok 2014 Day 3: Platinum Fashion Mall<b>Day 3: 5 May 2014 (Mon)</b><br />

After the half day tour, we rested in our room and refreshed ourselves before setting off for more shopping at Platinum Fashion Mall. The hotel staff helped us to get a taxi there and cost 50baht (~$2.09).<br />

The big <a href="http://www.platinumfashionmall.com/">Platinum Fashion Mall</a> specializes in retail and wholesale of fashion clothes and accessories. Generally you get cheaper prices if you buy more. There are 3 zones of shopping for men, women, children clothes, bags, shoes and accessories and local food product shops. It's endless shopping here and some more it's fully air-conditioned and don't have to sweat like at the <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2014/11/bangkok-2014-day-2-chatuchak-weekend.html">Chatuchak Market</a>. There's a large Disney gift shop too. <br />

Not too many photos here as we were mostly doing window shopping. Really shopping is not my cup of tea. I don't think we covered many shops and lost stamina. We slowly wandered to the food court at level 6 and had our dinner.<br />

I ordered Pork limb rice at 45baht (~$1.88). Basically stewed pork trotter. The meat was very tender and also lots of fat. But not used to eating so much fat though. Too bad the braised eggs were sold out.<br />

After buying, the shops were already beginning to close. It was only 7pm so do come earlier if you need a lot of shopping time. So we left the place and walked along the street outside. Close to 8pm we were ready to be back and tried to call a taxi. There was a problem. There were plenty of taxis around BUT all of them refused to go by meter and were overcharging us. We paid only 50baht on the way here and the return trip was 100baht. Tried a few taxis and all of them charged the same price. No use waiting, so we had to accept it.<br />

<br />
<b>Day 3: 5 May 2014 (Mon)</b><br />
<br />
I booked the <b>Half-Day Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market Tour</b> from <a href="http://deal.com.sg/">Deal.com.sg</a> at $26 per person. I would say it is really value for money for the great experience. As the 2 places are some distance away from the city, it saves us the hassle of looking and taking public transport there. The deal is still going on occasionally. So you can keep a lookout if you are interested in going.<br />
<br />
This is the description of the deal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWvzvnFPlJnDP8ezxM_-q1RMPjaT0BgBxyuxkq4tIq0YMQSpIZKY5rUym_oHj72TZhpJnvQCCyvV4dTyXMmoGP1Hwg-O1nhTXpGZDVYaop7K4145NQS2Dnl-TT5-ApnR4J6l1QW0Juoih/s1600/bkkdeal2a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWvzvnFPlJnDP8ezxM_-q1RMPjaT0BgBxyuxkq4tIq0YMQSpIZKY5rUym_oHj72TZhpJnvQCCyvV4dTyXMmoGP1Hwg-O1nhTXpGZDVYaop7K4145NQS2Dnl-TT5-ApnR4J6l1QW0Juoih/s640/bkkdeal2a.jpg" height="640" width="542" /></a></div><br />
Before the trip, I emailed and confirmed with them about my date of travel and place of accommodation. We were told to wait at the hotel lobby at 7am for their transport. We had early breakfast at the hotel and the transport came at 7am sharp. It was a minivan and there were 8 of us, including 2 other groups of 2 and 4 people picked up from other hotels.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Maeklong Railway Market Tour</span></b><br />
<br />
Our first destination was the Maeklong Railway Market. The traffic was very smooth and we reached there in an hour's time at around 8.10am.<br />
<br />

The minivan dropped us at one end of the Maeklong Railway station.<br />
<br />

The scheduled timings of the train. Be sure to check and arrange your coming time so as not to miss the train passing by the market. That's the main reason we were here! We were told that the train will arrive at 9.45am so we had more than an hour to walk around the place here. Not bad as it was not a rushed trip.<br />
<br />

Walked to the other end of the train station, and there it is - the Maeklong Railway Market. So what's interesting about this railway market? It looks like an ordinary local market, very busy and many locals and tourists around. <br />
<br />
There was only 1 narrow path through the market covered by low-hanging awnings.<br />
<br />

If you have not realized, we were actually walking on the train track. Yes! That's what is special about the market and why the market attracts so many tourists to come here for the experience of being so close to a passing train and capture the photo moments.<br />
<br />

After walking through the market, we met our driver and he told us the train would be late and reach around 10.10am. We rested a while and looked for the best place to take photo of the coming train (which was very difficult as there were too many people like us, haha!).<br />
<br />
The action came few minutes before the train comes. You will see the stall owners starting to move their goods away from the tracks. Some of them actually don't care and leave them as it is. When the train is very near, they will pull the awnings/umbrella to the back.<br />
<br />
There comes the siren and the train is approaching slowly. <br />
<br />

It was a very amazing moment. Just for several seconds, the moving train was just a centimeters away from us. Running through the tracks where the vegetables and fruits were all placed very near and seemed as though the train was running over it! And the best part is, as soon as the train had passed, the stall owners released the awnings back again and continued the business as usual in a matter of seconds. Of course! The train passes by several times a day and they have already been so used to it. They must be 'laughing at' tourists like us haha!<br />
<br />
That's why this market has a nickname in Thai called Talad Rom Hoop, meaning Umbrella Pulldown Market or Folding Umbrella Market.<br />
<br />
A quick video of the train passing by.<br />

The train stopped at the train station. We went back and many people were taking photos with the train.<br />

We were a bit behind schedule due to the late train. Quickly went back to the minivan waiting for us for the next destination.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Damnoen Saduak Floating Market</span></b><br />
<br />
The Damnoen Saduak floating market, one of the most popular floating markets and a major tourist attraction. We took about half an hour from Maeklong and reached at a late time of 11am.<br />
<br />
The driver brought us to the boat immediately. The boat just nice to seat in 8 of us.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86u7fB1re5AleSz9SG8GaQumPIsp4jIkzGTFQqjkQi86IVJH6eE4ZZcZx_EzHOOna74b222sofBEEiW3iKhwTRScUIgxv-gMaaFesKFNSO3_LJHfj0NZCa3Osc8TJZfX2mPqXoPwss1SN/s1600/2014-05-05+11.53.42.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86u7fB1re5AleSz9SG8GaQumPIsp4jIkzGTFQqjkQi86IVJH6eE4ZZcZx_EzHOOna74b222sofBEEiW3iKhwTRScUIgxv-gMaaFesKFNSO3_LJHfj0NZCa3Osc8TJZfX2mPqXoPwss1SN/s640/2014-05-05+11.53.42.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The leisure boat trip brought us along the river. There were vendors selling goods and souvenirs from their boats. Some cooked and served food from the boats but we didn't try any as we didn't want to take up too much time of the people we shared boat with. The boat trip was actually quite boring as we saw mostly souvenirs and nothing special. Maybe either we were a bit late as the busy morning already ended or the place has already turned too touristic. The sun was scorching hot too at this time. Nevertheless it was my first time visiting a floating market so still an interesting experience. <br />

It took about 30 minutes and we were back to where we boarded. There were some food and souvenir stalls. Nothing special and all of us requested the driver to bring us back before the intended time at 12pm. Took more than an hour back. There was a bit of traffic jam at the city, we returned to hotel at about 1.20pm .<br />

Since I have peanut oil and alkaline water leftover from mooncake making. I'm giving it a try.<br />

Though the ingredients are so simple, just flour, sugar, a bit of butter, no eggs, the cookies surprisingly taste so good! Crunchy, fragrant, sweet and a bit salty. The key ingredients should be the peanut oil and alkaline water which give the cookies a special taste.<br />
<br />
I have some problem with the amount of peanut oil from the original recipe. Maybe because I always prefer to weigh liquid ingredients in grams instead of ml, which may not be the same - 150ml may not be equivalent to 150g. So I added the peanut oil slowly until a dough is formed. I used only 100g peanut oil in the end.<br />
<br />
<b>Hup Tou Sou Cookies 没有核桃的核桃酥</b><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b> (I make 56 pieces, of sizes from 8-10g)<br />
<br />
250g plain flour<br />
1/2 tsp baking powder<br />
125g sugar (can be reduced further for me)<br />
1/2 tsp fine salt<br />
<br />
20g salted butter<br />
100g peanut oil or cooking oil (original is 150ml)<br />
1/2 tsp alkaline water 碱水<br />
<br />
<b>Method</b><br />
<br />
1. Add all dry ingredients except butter, peanut oil and alkaline water in a mixing bowl. Rub butter with flour mixture till crumble. Slowly add in peanut oil and alkaline water and mix together till a soft dough is formed. Initially the dough is very wet, after few good knead and it will become a smooth dough.<br />
<br />
2. Weigh dough into 8-10g each and roll into small balls (initially I used 10g and then reduced to 8g because I prefer smaller size), and place on a baking tray.<br />
<br />
3. Use a suitable bottle cap to press on the centre of each cookie to create a round pattern. (I use finger)<br />
<br />
4. Brush with egg wash (egg yolk) and bake at 170 deg C for 20 minutes until golden brown.<br />

And I finally start baking cookies for CNY. After having charity <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2013/02/charity-bake-sale-thank-you-for-your.html">bake</a> <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2014/01/chinese-new-year-cookies-bake-sale-2014.html">sale</a> for two consecutive years, I decide to take a break this year. Too tedious! But I am still baking for family. So starting later for freshly baked cookies.<br />
<br />
First cookies today - the very popular sheep cookies using <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2011/01/aspiring-bakers-3-melt-in-mouth-german.html">melt-in-mouth German cookies</a> recipe. Have been baking this every year since 2011 because it's easy and delicious. Though it's the year of goat, sheep seems to be more popular. Cute what! I learnt this sheep design from FB.<br />

Cookies completed! Too cute! So fun to bake when u are not stressed to complete for orders. Love these cookies very much, except the dough is very soft and needs to chill in and out of fridge for better shaping in this terribly hot weather. It is advised to chill the dough in 2 portions and work on 1 portion first, then the other, as the dough will soften very fast *.<br />
<br />
You can use this design for closed type pineapple tarts too. But hmm I'm not making any this year. Scared already. Some more I don't like to eat pineapple tarts one, remember? ;)<br />

Recipe again which is same as the original <a href="http://smallsmallbaker.blogspot.sg/2011/01/aspiring-bakers-3-melt-in-mouth-german.html">post</a>. Add in some modified parts.<br />
<br />
<b>Sheep design melt-in-mouth German cookies</b><br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b> (I make 39 pieces)<br />
<br />
125g butter, softened<br />
40g icing sugar, sifted<br />
125g potato starch, sifted<br />
80g plain flour, sifted<br />
<br />
<b>Method</b><br />
<br />
1. Beat butter and icing sugar till fluffy and lighter in colour.<br />
<br />
2. Sift in potato starch and plain flour, mix to form a soft dough. Divide the dough into 2 portions, wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes (read above *).<br />
<br />
3. Roll the body of the sheep 8g each. Roll 2 smaller balls and place on the head (just estimate roughly same size or bigger than the chocolate chips). Press a line on each ball (I use back of knife). Place 2 chocolate chips as ears. Place 2 black sesame seeds as eyes. You can also add a smile for the sheep using a piping tip.<br />
<br />
4. Bake in preheated oven at 170 deg C for 15 mins, upper rack (need not bake till cookies turn brown).Small Small Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034230982210905195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4762565133976251398.post-52460346469340715132015-01-19T11:42:00.000+08:002015-01-19T11:43:40.532+08:00Wholemeal Orange Chiffon Cake with Chia SeedsMy first bake in 2015! Going healthy by adding wholemeal flour and chia seeds to my usual bake.<br />
<br />
The reason for this change. Because my mum went for health screening recently, her cholesterol and triglycerides levels are tested to be on the high side, though medication not required. Actually they have been high since many years ago cos she used to like eating fatty meat. Although she has already switched to eating vegetarian, eating healthily and exercising daily all these years, the levels don't seem to drop lower. So don't think you can eat as much as meaty as fatty as oily as you want because you are still young. Cos they will accumulate in your body till all the problems come. I believe in that!<br />
<br />
So the nutritionist advises her to eat more oat and wholemeal products. Then I heard about the many health benefits of eating chia seeds. Besides high in the important nutritions, it is also high in antioxidants, Omega-3 and found to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, increase HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol). So I bought a packet to try. Both of us eating this everyday. I will add 1 tbsp of chia seeds to my hot Milo every morning. Let's see if it will have any benefits.<br />

<br />
The wholemeal chiffon cake. Chia seeds not so obvious. Adding crunch to the fluffy cake though the texture is coarser than usual due to the wholemeal flour. Is there any finer wholemeal flour around?<br />

60ml freshly squeezed orange juice<br />
1/2 tsp orange zest (I used zest of 1 whole orange)<br />
40g cake flour<br />
40g wholemeal flour (I use Prima)<br />
1 tbsp Chia seeds<br />
<br />
4 egg whites<br />
50g caster sugar (I used 40g)<br />
<br />
<b>Method:</b><br />
<br />
1. Whisk egg yolks and sugar until the sugar dissolves.<br />
2. Gradually add in vegetable oil, followed by Cointreau, orange juice and zest. <br />
3. Add sifted cake flour and wholemeal flour. Mix until just combined. Add 1 tbsp of Chia seeds. Mix well. Set aside.<br />
4. In another bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Add in sugar gradually and continue whisking until stiff peak form.<br />
5. Gently fold in the egg white into the egg yolk batter (in step 3) in 3 batches. <br />
6. Pour the batter into an ungreased chiffon tin. Give the tin a few slight knocks on the tabletop to remove air bubbles. Bake in preheated oven at 170 deg C for 35 minutes. <br />
7. Remove from oven and invert the tin immediately onto a cooling rack.<br />
8. Unmould the cake only when it is completely cool.<br />

My must-bake every year, the cashew nut cookies. Probably the last time you will see them in this shape. Still very sad that I lost the mini crescent-shape cookie cutter. :(<br />

Then I slack of the rest of the year. I will leave those in the draft to next year. Aiyo!<br />
<br />
Looking back at 2014, I had baked and blogged lesser. Most of the time I when I bake, I tend to bake those that family prefers to eat and using the same recipes. That explains the reason of lesser blogging. Sometimes I also feel lazy to blog because oh yes I already posted the photos on FB and IG, haha! Then I also did not go around reading blogs as much as I used to and thus somehow lost some inspiration to bake something new?? Haha, cos we tend to be influenced by what other bloggers posted.<br />
<br />
Then this question always repeats, whether I should continue blogging. The answer is almost always yes (I admit I have thought of giving it up many times). Because this blog records all my baking recipes, my success, my failures, my life, my memories. Although I rarely read back what I had written unless I need to find a recipe. LOL! I know many 'old' bloggers also post lesser and lesser or some even quit because it is really hard to maintain a blog due to personal commitments or have switch to other social medias.<br />
<br />
Forward to 2015, I will like to continue blogging as long as I can, although not regularly. I may not blog all about baking now, I will also include some of the places I have been to and keep my memories here. Wishing a great year in 2015 for me and everyone!Small Small Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034230982210905195noreply@blogger.com
