Kinton-igaguri & Satsumaimo きんとん毬栗🌰と薩摩芋 🍠 Had my second wagashi class at @abccookingstudio_sg today and I chose to learn these Autumn themed wagashi of chestnut and sweet potato because the season is right. Featuring my new mini matcha bowl 🍵 with momiji 🍁 design from my recent Kyoto trip - I got it to match my Autumn themed wagashi 😋

Cheesecake 🧀 I made have made cheesecake countless times by myself at home but I still went for the cheesecake lesson at @abccookingstudio_sg because it's always good to learn new techniques. Aside from the orange raspberry sauce, we also learnt to make the biscuit crust from scratch and I would say that's the highlight of this cheesecake! It's way better than using crushed digestive biscuits.

Maple Butter Swiss Zopf 🍁🍞 Just did my 4th bread lesson at @abccookingstudio_sg yesterday and this is so far my favourite bread! Keanded with maple syrup 🍁 and coated with more maple syrup 🍁, the flavour is just so heavenly and the texture super soft and fluffy. This piece of bread is huge but was all gone in a flash. I want more now!

Orange Yogu Blanc 🍊 I did 2 cake classes in one day and it was really tiring. This isn't really tasty but it was quite fun to assemble! This is a chocolate sponge shortcake with whipped yogurt cream mousse frosting. It looks complicated but the effect was actually quite easy to create 💃

Gateau au Chocolat 🍫 Finally got to try making this all time favourite cake at @abccookingstudio_sg and it is soooo good! The richness of chocolate is just 👌 and I would think it's the best trial class recipes I've learnt so far. The cake can be eaten warm (toast in oven toaster for 10mins, 160°C) and the cake will be souffle like inside with a nice crust outside; or eaten cold from the fridge for a dense fudgey texture. Both ways are nice and I cannot decide which is better. I love it both ways! (♊ problems...) This is offered as a regular trial class and is permanantly available at all @abccookingofficial studios since a long time ago. PM me if you're interested to attend trial lessons! Only $28/pax (first timers only).

Tea time with goodies from Japan! I love matcha 🍵

Just back from Osaka but I still want Takoyaki 🐙 so it's time to finally use my @brunohotplatesg compact hot plate! Using the Takoyaki recipe from @abccookingstudio_sg and it is 😋

Suki-yaki すき焼き Perfect for this cold rainy day 😋 the beef was so good! This restaurant was a random find and I'm glad it turned out to be a really good meal. No idea what kind of wagyu this is, but this is the Take 竹 course at Morita-ya モリタ屋 (Osaka Lucua 10F). Sukiyaki is very different from Shabu-shabu. The beef slices are thicker, and is pan seared with beef fat and coarse sugar first before adding broth. A slice of Japanese melon 🍈 and grapes (this is either Pione or Kyoho) 🍇was served as dessert 😍😍

たこ焼き🦑 Osaka must have. No explanations needed. My favourite chain is Wanaka わなか. The nearest outlet from my hotel in Shinsaibashi is at America-mura, and that whole area is really quiet this Wednesday evening. Takoyaki was still delicious.

In Japan, Halloween is celebrated everywhere. At Rikuro Ojisan they even have a Halloween special logo for their cheesecakes this season!

黒門市場 It's my 6th trip to Osaka but it's my first time in Kuromon Market! This place is basically a huge tourist trap and it seems like 90% of customers are tourists, but they do have some pretty good food. I bought this dango 🍡 from Mitoya 三都屋 only because it looks cute, but it actually was delicious! Went back to get warabi-mochi わらび餅 and it was so delicious too (skip the matcha - it tasted kinda oxidized, but the kinako one was really good)

柏原ぶどう狩り🍇 Grape hunting in Kashiwara today! It's a short JR train ride to the suburbs and once you reach Kashiwara station, they'll arrange for a car to pick you up to the farm. No reservations required for this and I love how hassle free the process is! The grape in season now is Muscat Berry. It is not as legendary as Pione or Kyoho but it is still damn nice (if you choose the right bunch that is)!
