It’s me again with another post for those doing the holiday baking! Nothing says end-of-year festive season like a box of shortbread. And given that Chinese New Year is also coming up, I’d say it is the perfect time for some butter shortbread. I’ve done quite a few bake sales on shortbread boxes with a…

Hong Kong Style Butter Cookies – 珍妮曲奇香港 inspired
Hello and Happy New Year! I hope you have been well. I promise, I am not trying to be an “inspired by” type of recipe blog, but I “blame” my curiosity towards such recipes stems from my childhood up-bringing. 😛 My family would use to go to restaurants and sit around the table of food…
Pappa Roti / Rotiboy (Mexican Coffee Buns)
I know I have been teasing everyone for nearly a year on my Instagram with this recipe, but to defend myself a little, this recipe was first delayed because I really wasn’t too happy with it and then finally because I had some health issues that kept me out of the kitchen for a few…
Soft Plushy Chai Hot Cross Buns
If you have been following me on Instagram, you’ll know that I have recently started up a Chai brand called Chaikra. And given the nature of Hot Cross Buns, I immediately thought of doing a Chai twist to them. With Easter right around the corner, there is no better way to celebrate than with the…
Melt In Your Mouth Pineapple Tarts
I can almost hear the firecrackers and clangs of Chinese New Year as we approach one of my favourite celebrations of the year. An excuse to have food in abundance, be surrounded by family and a period of guaranteed laughter. A celebration steeped in superstitious beliefs where this one short moment in the year will…
Soft, Fluffy, Gooey Cinnamon Rolls
Some say that nothing beats the smell of fresh baked bread coming out of the oven, that warm cosy scent that for some reason speaks to an innate part of us making us feel like everything will be okay. Even I am guilty of having that sentiment. But I take that back. What it should…
Cruffins + Kouign-amman
Hi everyone, I’m back with another laminated pastry, but this time with cruffins! So before I go assuming you know what I am on about, what are cruffins you might ask? Well, they are a mix of croissants and muffins, something dreamt up and brought to life by the famous Lune bakery here in Melbourne…
Soft Flat Breads
It’s been quite awhile since the last blog post and I do apologise. This recipe in particular has been a long time coming but I’ve been putting it off, however, this does not mean I have lost touch with the recipe 🙂 I recently make them again so I can vouch that they are tasty…
Nama Chocolate – 70% Dark and Matcha | 生チョコレート
Given that Father’s day is around the corner (this weekend to be precise) in certain parts of the world, I thought a box of chocolate in 2 styles would work well as a treat. My dad loves chocolate and alcohol and thinking of that I felt there would be no gift more perfect than this….
Mini Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies – Famous Amos Style
Like many, one of my earliest childhood association with chocolate chip cookies stems from the sweet scent of caramelised cookies that wafts into your nose, surrounding you in an almost intoxicating scent, calling out to you as you walk through the busy shopping centres. Irresistible and hypnotic. Before you know it, you’ve found yourself trying…
