Slappin' my bass

T// Chinese Style Steamed Fish

Steamed striped bass with ginger in a homemade soy sauce concoction, served with fresh scallions & cilantro =)

Flan 2.0

T// Classic Crème Caramel (FLAN!) 2.0!

I know I've been lagging with Cookthyme posts, but hopefully I'll be more diligent with it. I've been cooking and baking... I've just been too lazy to upload the experiences.. my bad. (At least I post more than J//) Anywho, learning from my previous Flan experience... I present my new and improved Crème Caramel (flan) with more caramel and little to no bubbles! =D Creamy, smooth, and caramel-y... Just the way I like it. uh huh.

Hello Jello!

T// Pandan Vietnamese Jello Cake (Rau Câu Lá Dứa)

Made from agar-agar, light and refreshing, flavoured with fresh Pandan extract. It's really easy (the jello part at least... not so much the extract making...) and really good. =)

A Very Brady Bunch... of Cupcakes!

T&J// Lemon Zest Cupcakes

My first cupcakes! The recipe I pulled this time was suspiciously dry, but I was optimistic. Definitely have a twist in mind for Round II though - for looks AND taste. On the bright side, my cupcake stand finally fulfilled its raison d'etre and decorating these babies were tres fun <3 ...icing mishaps included. ps. Yes, I am aware of the cheesy nature of the Brady Bunch/cute cupcakes thing.. but I couldn't resist.. I love 'em all... and they deserved their own picture!

Apple.

Banana ..Pancakes?

T// Classic Banana Bread... but in Muffin form!

No,they're not Pancakes as per JJ..or just bread, or just muffin .. it's a hybrid. =) Twist on the classic for easy and accessible breakfast food.

It's all about the Zebra Print

T// Zebra Cake!

Pretty and Yummy. Definitely now one of my favourite cakes, and i'm not even a cake lover. Super moist, and mocha-y, bursting with flavour from the double shot of expresso and splash of Grand Marnier. =) YUM.

♪ Melt My Heart to Stone.. ♪

T// Molten Lava Cake

Chocolate-Lovers' fantasy; ooze-y bittersweet chocolate with a bit of Grand Marnier in the mix. This belly-warming dessert (great for the weather, since it's snowing in May) is divine especially with strawberries =) It's like a super-fudge-y brownie with chocolate dipped strawberries. yum.

Happy Mother's Day!
