Dessert for Beauty - Steamed Milk Pudding
美颜甜品：炖鲜奶

-
 
Homemade steamed milk pudding is economical in the sense that it only uses 3 ingredients: fresh milk, egg white and sugar.  If properly steamed, it's silky smooth with sweetened milk flavor.  The best part is , it heps to nourish our skin and improve complexion if eat regularly. That's why steamed milk pudding is also called "Beauty dessert".

I started with Double Skin Milk Pudding (双皮奶) , which is a famous dessert in Hongkong.  After a couple of successful attempts , combined with a couple of failed attempts, I realised my family does not really care whether the milk pudding has double skin or single skin. They simply love it.  So, I skipped the fussy steps of keeping the first skin,  and it turned out to be really simple to make. Since last month, we have been enjoying this dessert almost every other day at home.

To benchmark this homemade milk pudding with the one from local dessert house,  I went down to one of the famous local dessert house one day and ordered one bowl of steamed milk pudding. To be honest, the pudding there lacks of fresh milk fragrant, and the texture is not as creamy as mine.  I left the dessert house that day with great satisfaction, not as a customer, but as a "winner" :)

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts.  Though I have never doubt "baki

Cake Muffins Worth Queueing for at Shunfu Market

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the trip down. Each of them would like to order one box!  The following week, I brought 6 boxes of

Air-Fried Buttermilk Chicken

My taste buds are fond of fried foods.  The pleasure of eating deep-fried food is irresistible to me. I like the tender interior and crisp exterior, which remains crisp even as the food soaks up the tangy sauce. However, for my family's health, I seldom deep fry food at home. I usually replace deep frying with baking, e.g, baked potato sticks , chicken wings and pork ribs .  Baked food tastes good, but sometimes, deep-fried food still tastes better. To satisfy our craving for deep-fried food,  we bought a Philips Airfryer recently. Now I can air fry! We have air-fried some "forbidden" snacks at home, and this buttermilk fried chicken is one of the top recipes we have tried so far.
