Green Tea latte

















Green Tea latte has always being my favourite drink.
I am always ordering a GT latte or a black coffee at Starbucks.  =)

Here is my first attempt in making Milk Green Tea

1st try ( This is a tips from my cousin )
- Green Tea powder + water + whipped cream

Was deciding over the proportion of milk and water. Felt that the first one was too watery. 

2nd try ( Trying to recreate the taste of Starbucks :P )
- brought full cream milk to boil ( i uses greenfield )
- 4 tablespoon of green tea powder
- stir and serve with a little bit of whipped cream

Guess I much preferred my milk green tea with more milk... =)

Nut cracking





Bought a pack of aksun aprocot from market today.
It was really really sweet and delicious.

The market lady told us to break open the seed and eat the kernel inside. However I heard that it could be harmful when taking it raw. From a internet source, its contain cyanide which its insoluble fiber is hard to digest by body....... but apparently it is an 'alternative' cancer treatments .

Anyway, just took one out of curiosity. It tastes like almond. =P

冬至 2010





每年冬至都是我特别想念外婆的日子。执意自己做,因为那是我缅怀她的方式。怎么搓,怎么揉都是跟在外婆边一点一点学来的。今年特别想念她。


今年的花样是包花生馅。=)

This was done last week, during the long weekend. Non meat version ( because I have forgotten to buy chicken breast) Let see if I can still remember the ingredients.

- 2 tomatoes
- 2 apples
- 2 potatoes
- Broccoli
- 1/2 pack of Penne
- Mayonnaise
- cheese cream

Sprinkle in Salt, Black Pepper and Chilli Fakes

Toss and Served

Tiramisu - 1st attempt





My first attempt at making Tiramisu. It was a little messy as you can see from the presentation. =P

Has been going around looking for Tiramisu recipe for weeks. Finally decided to settle for this one from You tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPcAdAX3mQg

The instruction was very easy to follow and this is the only one that lightly cooked the egg york. =) Oh.... this was my very first attempt at whipping cream too. I nearly overwhipped it and turned it into butter. hm......maybe I have?!!!

Just tasted a spoonful of it, tasted alright. Feedback from the rest isn't bad either. hee.....hm.... just a note, maybe I should put in more Masala wine for next round. I hardly taste the wine right now =)
