Dark Chocolate Cherry Ricotta Cake

It’s been quite awhile my friends and I’m sorry about the delay with this recipe. Life just tends to unexpectedly get in the way sometimes. That and the fact that every time I sit down to start writing up a post, I end up thinking about food which then leads to me running off to…

Tahini Pistachio Cranberry Cookies

I’ve made these cookies multiple times over the last few weeks and I’m pretty sure everyone has gotten sick of looking at them. Constant instagram stories of these sweet treats teasing you to reach through the screen to dig into them and now they are finally here on this blog. I’ve honestly got an obsession…

Black Sesame Avocado Chocolate Truffles

Growing up in Singapore, I was accustomed to avocado being something that I would associate with sweet desserts. It was only after coming to Melbourne (and doing the thing that millennials are known for *cough* avocado toast *cough*) where I realised that my friends here were finding sweet avocado dishes to be something foreign to…

Chocolate Chip Scones + A Memory of Breakfast in Japan

In the little over 2 weeks that I’ve spent on holidays in Japan, I’ve pretty much ate my weight in desserts. I’ve had amazing memorable desserts, I’ve been at wonderment at the fact that one can actually have a unsatisfactory dessert in Japan and I’ve had life changing desserts. Wait, let me clarify the last…

Chocolate Mint Brownie + A small request

It’s been weeks since I promised to post this recipe. My mom flew from Singapore for a visit, Melbourne has enjoyed some hail storm warnings and it’s suddenly that time of the year again where the much coveted Saveur Blog Award nominations have open. And so I have a small request to make for you,…

Melting Middles Matcha Cookie

This is the cookie dough lover cookie, the tea lover cookie, the I-love-big-cookies lover cookie and the list goes on… The only person this is not for, is for a person who is on a diet. There are many things that I love in life, chocolates, desserts and cakes being just a few of them….

White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

For a couple of days last week, I had found myself immersed in a leadership event in the middle of Melbourne City. Being deprived of the bustling city life ever since I moved out of my tiny rented city apartment, I was naturally overly eager to gorge on the abundance of food options suddenly available to…

Chocolate Orange Hot Cross Buns

Easter is pretty much here and I’m enjoying the huge selection of hot cross buns lining the shelves of bakeries. But who would I be if I didn’t decide to make some at home as well? The first time I saw Tivoli Road Bakery’s hot cross bun recipe in their book, I knew I needed…

Cocoa Buckwheat Macaroon Bars and My Recent Trip

There is something about food that mesmerises me. Perhaps it’s in the way it has the power to bring people together, or maybe it’s in how it magically connects with the soul of a person. It’s amazing that something so simple, ritualistic and essential can turn into something that strengthens bonds and create new connections…

Mulled Wine Pear and Chocolate Cake

Valentines Day is around the corner and the streets here in Japan are filled with pop up shops selling boxes of chocolates. Pink packaging fill the shelves and limited edition Valentines Day pastry/chocolate flavours have nudge it’s way in amongst the already abundant amout of pastries in Tokyo. For a chocolate and cake lover like…
