Bakerzin ? And the other ?






See !?
I went to get 2 different cheesecakes and Tiramisu from 2 different bakeries.
1. Bakerzin
2. I cannot remember the name, it is located at the food court level of Takashimaya, close to Bakerzin.
Well, after trying them with my brother and mother, i felt that the tiramisu from Bakerzin was not that amzaing, i couldnt really taste the liquor, i thought it wasnt worth the price, just my opinions...oreo cheesecake was okay, as it was my first time trying such a cheesecake...i am not sure how it should really taste like....for the tiramisu from the other bakery, it has a stronger liquor taste, you could really taste it, cheese was lighter ( i heard that the cheese of Tiramisu should be light, as if you were eating air ! ), mine was heavy [ No worries, i can always try to make it more airy, that was my first time so i can be given another chance ! ]
The one from bakerzin was kinda heavy too, i just didnt like it.
And lastly, the cheesecake, nice smooth and light, great cheesecake i would say, i like the texture, unlike mine, so moist and thick and heavy, i better improve * knocks own head*
HAAA, after trying cheesecakes from these famous bakeries, i know where i stand.
I told my mum and brother to remember the taste of the Tiramisu from both bakeries and said, on my next attempt, i will make one that tastes better than these 2 !

you are tied !

HO HO !

I got the chance to do this on the last day of my job =)

These pork bellies were going for a boil, i had to tie them up tightly to make them hold their shape well, these would be used for bbq.


Had fun doing this, leveled up, new skilled acquired !

Farewell kitchen






Today is my last day of work, so i took some pictures as memories....
First 3 pictures are the overall pictures of the kitchen
2nd last picture is the Soba counter, where i cook the noodles ( i was incharged of the noodles )
Last picture is the deep fryer corner, i dont deep fry food, it is the job for my friend
I had to go....i have to move on towards my dream....i made many friends there, leaving the place was a bit unbearable...

Big plate


yum yum, my diinnnner ...i didnt work out today, so, i didnt have too much rice, sadly...


That was chicken rice, marinated chicken thigh with cabbage and chicken stock.

Vegetables were spinach with mushrooms and shredded chicken, simmered with vegetarian oyster and mushroom sauce with chicken stock and a dash of salt and soy sauce, oops almost forgot about corn starch !


Good meal =)



My tiramisu




2nd attempt on this italian dessert !
I am happy with the outcome and of course, there is always room for improvement, mum and brother have tried it, they said it was nice !
I took a small bite, nice !
Liqueor taste could be stronger, could be layered one more time =)
there is always another try =) handing some to my aunt to try tomorrow !

Quick lunch


Just a quick one, left over pasta sauce with baked beans and egg whites..
Nothing much, sprinkled with salt and black pepper..
eat.....

Its a nice cheesecake, i tried using kiwi fruit but i think.....the fruit doesnt go well with the cake, perhaps another fruit might do better =)
I've already created this cake, why not try different flavours for it ^^,

Woohoooo SUNDAY DINNER !!!

I spent half the day in the kitchen on sunday, was fun =)

Mum and i prepared all these dishes together, they were deep fried prawns, stir fried long beans, Grilled stingray and my very own recipe, olive vegetables chicken
( left over )

Pictures of mum's soup and another pork belly pork slices stir fried with garlic isn't posted. Max of 5 pictures per post only... HAA

Anyway, had a great diiiiinnnnnnerrr....



Great company + great food = Life's biggest enjoyment !

No.1 side dish



Hey hey ! I'm going to make 10 of my own side dishes and this is the 1st side dish that i have prepared !

I have modified the recipe from my working place.

It consists of kelp, carrot, lean pork slices ( not thin enough ), szechuan vegetable, sesame seeds and oil.


This dish would be served chilled, after letting more people try it, i will then decide to stay at the current recipe or make more modifications...


Quite a nice small side dish...9 more coming up, stay tuned !

The face of an egg ! 2 i mean...


When i was frying this egg, i saw a ' face ', so i quickly went to get my phone to snap a photo of it !
Sounds silly but how often do u come across such a picture ?!?!
Haa....look carefully and you will be able to see the egg smiling....

Different method

Same stuff, just that i brined it for 24 hours and baked it instead of stewing it..i'm trying to play with this meat...

Taste was good, meat was tougher than the stewed one which i think its normal...this was only baked for close to 20 mins, stew was several hours, i am sure anyone could have tasted the difference.


Well well...i've more work to do, this is fun..
