Breads

  During my childhood days, I liked to imagine myself living in the countryside with cool breezy weather, nice green pastures, a few cows and goats (for milk), some cute chickens (for eggs), a small fruit and vegetable farm, and a pink cottage with a woody country style kitchen smelled of bread and stew daily. And every morning I would wake up at 6am to knead dough, filled the air with the smell of freshly baked bread mixed with the morning dew. On our vintage wooden table, breads were always there. This dream is impossible in the area I live…

I am never a fan of red bean confections to begin with and tao sar bao is something I detest but I’ll gleefully welcome red bean ice 红豆冰.

There aren’t many places in Singapore selling it. My memories of the sweet concoction was however, from Malaysia where it is commonly sold in the eateries as a homemade drink.

Blueberries are one of the fruits that I’ve eaten the most. I always eat them with yogurt, oatmeal, or blend it with banana and turn it into what I like to call, a bluenana smoothie, and of course it’s a wonderful fruit to bake with. So when I got the book The Back In The Day Bakery Cookbook, the first recipe that caught my eye was the blueberry buckle. So what the heck is a blueberry buckle? Well it’s actually a single layer sour cream cake bursting…
