Mrs Teng, FM,
Delicious looking char siew fillings. Nowadays pau so costly, good to make your own especially for pau lovers!
Finally recovered from almost two weeks of bad throat and cough. Baked a green tea chiffon cake which somehow expedited my recovery.
CL,
I finally used the green tea powder you gave us sometime back. It is really really good. Can you still remember where it is sold? Thank you.

maggie, u must get 'better' green tea powder... else, ur green tea bakes will not look like nor smell like... let alone taste like (or if you can even taste any!) green tea...
get from isetan (keng... cl's lobang) or other japanese counters in shopping malls... ichiban!

MaggieHeng,
My baking kakis got very angry with me once for recommending green tea powder bought from Sunlik (not cheap).. but not my fault because it was highly recommended by someone from another baking forum
From Cat's reaction u know what I mean...hahaha.
Because we are pasionate about using green tea powder and have tried those from PH & Sunlik but by far this is the best. Colour is dark enough and smells very pleasant, not over-powering.

Saw here that meow mentioned that can get 'better' quality green tea powder in malls or isetan but any idea about the price?
I bought 2 small packets of green tea powder from sunlik and used some for the green tea tiramisu but the colour is indeed weak.

Maggieheng
Bcos of Brixton Hicks (BH), I was supposed to admitted early in the morning (7am) for observation at 34 weeks, chun chun that morning at 6 am I started spotting. So just go hospital.
Gynae say BH getting more like real contraction so got to observe carefully and thong a few more days. Think babies hear liao "buey ta han" want to come out.. So the contraction got worst. Almost 48 hours of labour but dilated only about 4 cm... Somemore, heartburn got so bad until I throw up what ever I ate.. sway sway got gastric big time.. Aiya! everything bad you can think of come altogether.
No choice, I'm too weak to go natural liao.. go for emergency C-section lor. Blur blur go in, and blur blur come out...
Meow
Wah! the swiss roll looks so yummy and soft. drool leh.
This afternoon tried to make Black Glutinous Rice Chiffon Cake.
Fatmum
I did not follow your steaming method.. I'm so lazy to do that.. Just took the AY's Pandan Chiffon cake recipe and substitute 40g of Cake Flour with Black Glutinous Flour.. Den my stupid silicone mould ~ I first time using, don't know how to remove the cake, anyhow pull and end up the top torn off.
