Masala Chai Popsicles

December 2, 2015

Masala Chai PopsiclesIt’s been quite a while since I updated this space. I’ve been meaning to share photos from Europe, but I’m not completely done editing them. Somehow I’ve let this become a barrier to blogging, which shouldn’t be the case. There are so many other things I can talk about until my photos are ready. Such as food! It’s almost always a good time to talk about food, so that’s what we’re doing today.

Experiment of Apple Streusel Tartlets

August 19, 2015

Apple streusel tartletLast week Wednesday, I got up in the morning, wandered into the kitchen and had the sudden urge to bake apple streusel tartlets. I wanted to switch things up from my usual French apple tarts. Omitting the almond paste adding streusel seemed like a good start. Except, I had never baked streusel anything before. But I was in an experimental mood, so instead of looking up a cohesive recipe, I combined base recipes instead.

Maiden Attempt at Pavlova

June 14, 2015

Mini pavlovaYesterday I was on my way home, when it struck me that I would finally have time to bake in the evening. For some reason I couldn’t get pavlova out of my mind, and so I looked up various recipes online. I dropped by the supermarket and was happily greeted by a vast array of fresh berries.

Fields in the Philippines

June 9, 2015

Chilli field in the PhilippinesLast month I spent a week in the Philippines, visiting my relatives together with my mum. It’s been years since I last was there and yet in a way, it felt like returning home. Even though I don’t speak the local language, there’s this familial bond to my maternal ethnic roots that I grew up with. And of course, I’m grateful I got to spend time with my grandparents.

Bright Nights

May 4, 2015

Bright Nights with the Full MoonFull moons give rise to such bright nights, these times are perfectly spent outdoors. I enjoy sitting in the night breeze and letting my mind wander. Even with company I tend to be quiet and happily soak in the serenity.
