Yummy Chocolate Chip Chiffon Cake

I am extremely pleased with my latest bake...
Soft & Spongy, Sweet yet Light.


I almost forgot to credit Reena.. Cause she gave me a good tip about having more egg whites than yolks to create a fluffier cake. I also followed your advice on beating the egg white last instead of beating it first like I used to do.

A Day to Remember

The day Ryan happily sat in his Maclaren Volo stroller from the minute we step out of our house all the way until we left orchard road... I did not once took out my standby ERGO... :)

1.30pm - He sat in the stroller. We strolled him to the MRT station. Took mrt to Plaza Singapura. Had lunch afterwhich he happily slept in his stroller at 3.30pm.

5pm - He woke up. I latched him. Then we took MRT from orchard to bukit batok for church.
He was sitting on the train seat rather quietly. Not the usual yelling or squirming. Just that he occasionally wants to walk around. Since the train was quite empty, we allowed him to do so while holding our hands.

7pm - We proceeded to dinner at nearby coffeeshop. He obediently sat in his stroller while we fed him dinner. Then we allowed him to walk around to digest his food before bringing him home.

After 18 months of struggling with the stroller/pram, he finally decided that relaxing in the stroller is better than being carried in the ERGO all day long.

Hurray for my back! "Ouch"

Though I must say, it's really troublesome to take MRT all over town when we have direct bus to and fro...

All set & ready to go shopping. But...

Ryan has problem deciding which bag to bring. keke

We usually let Ryan decide what toys to bring & which bag to use. It's part of developmental process.
He's almost 18mths now. He likes to decide things for himself. He can be quite stubborn at times. So we usually let him have his way if it is within his own playing items...

Nai-Nai gave Ryan a big red pail to contain all his toys. But it seems that he prefers to contain himself in the pail rather than the toys. kekeke

Almost perfect White Bread...

Verdict:
1) I used wrong size loaf tin (too small) no space for further expansion.
2) It needs an extra 5mins in the oven.

Banana Cake

I'm running out of ideas...  Any new innovative recipe that require common ingredients?

Today I had the urge to bake a cake.  I realised that 2 bananas r overripe.  So I decided to make banana cake instead of plain old butter cake.


My mom came over to my place when she decided against going CK Tang for a closed door sale this evening.  Since she likes having melted banana in the cake, i only lighted mashed it so we can actually taste the banana flesh.



No more cake pans. So i resorted to souffle cups.

Wai Gong's Birthday celebration @ Shangri-la Hotel

Long time since I last blogged...

WaiPo booked THE LINE cafe @ Shangri-la many weeks back.
Cause we are utilising WaiGong's birthday discount. hehe 56% off total bill.

Only we 4 people went as it was a weekday. Nice ambience, great food, superb dessert selections!

Highly recommended. But darn expensive without promotions.

We went NSRCC for swim after that. Ryan refused to enter the water. So we sat by the pool and kicked water for 10mins before we decided to give up coaxing him.

That's all the programme for that day.
