Shortcake 🍰 It's been a while since I last had shortcake from @flor_patisserie and either I forgot how good it was, or they've improved so much because this cake was SO good, probably my favourite shortcake found in SG! Beautiful 🌺🌼💐decoration aside, the cake texture itself was perfectly soft, cream had perfect smooth texture, sweetness and freshness, and the amount of 🍓 was just right. This was their mother's day special decoration (have I mentioned that it's so beautiful?) but I'll be back to have their regular one soon!

Matcha Financiers Always use good drinking quality matcha from Kyoto if you want your matcha bakes to taste good

I learnt this chocolate cake recipe from @abccookingofficial in Tokyo last year as part of their regular cake basic course. I didn't know what to expect since I couldn't tell what this would taste like just by looking at the pictures. Turns out this recipe is one of a kind and the taste is so good! It is very rich with chocolate yet super soft and moist. Addition of fruits and nuts inside and on top of the cake gives a nice contrast to the flavour and texture as well. I'm glad it was very similar in taste and texture when I recreated it at home and this is recipe is one of my favourites from ABC Cooking so far!

Nama Chocolate 🍫 Recreated the Nama Chocolate I did at @abccookingstudio_sg and made a matcha version too! Swipe ⬅ for another flavour 😄

Berry Herby Shortcake 🌿 A blueberry shortcake. It actually reminds me of Finland 🇫🇮!

Mochi with sakura-an and cream 🌸 With my 🌸 plate, 🌸 tea cup and 🌸 2 tier box. Hanami never ends 😍

1 for 1 single scoop today at Takashimaya! The 80% dark chocolate is really good 😋

Tiramisu #hungrybirdbakes Lots of alcohol, lots of espresso. Just the way I like it 😋

Strawberry 🍓Chiffon Roll I made this cake with ingredients stolen off other cakes! I was pulling the fruits off other commercially obtained cakes I had at home and I ended up with 3 big strawberries and 2 raspberries. I realised I could make a strawberry chiffon roll with the recipe @abccookingstudio_sg, so why not? 🤣

ショートケーキ 🍰 It's easy to make a shortcake which tastes good but it isn't easy to make one which looks good 🤣

I made financiers again just 2 days after learning it from @abccookingstudio_sg and I experimented with 🍓 and 🌸 versions! . The base recipe is the same as the studio's recipe with some simple modifications on my own. . Strawberry🍓: using 4 ripe strawberries (I used さちのか from @donkisg), slice 3 pieces from the center of each 🍓 to have 12 slices. Puree the remaining edges of strawberry and add it to the financier batter. Put 2 sliced strawberries on each financier before baking. Sakura 🌸: substitute honey with sakura honey syrup (from Japan). Soak 6 picked sakura flowers for 30mins and pat dry and place one flower on each financier before baking.

Crispy Chicken Rendang 😂 Well crispy or not, this version of chicken rendang is good! Probably the only chicken rendang that I like. The spices tastes different from the usual and I really like it! Everything tasted so good from this meal and the ambiance is comfortable. Looking forward to trying more of their menu!
