Yogurt Swiss Roll (1st Attempt)

I love Swiss Roll. I have been thinking of baking my own swiss roll.

I have no confidence in the process of beating the egg white to stiff. Thanks Pynn for her advice. Furthermore, i came across some comments that the rolling part do crack easily, which made me hesistate in trying to bake a swiss roll. I even looked for the rolling methods from youtube, and decided to try it out!

I don't have a proper swiss roll baking tray at home. I just use a bigger square tray. Therefore, the batter is thinner and roll up to more layers.

For the filling, i thought of using Nutella Spread (since we don't really like jam). But, no stock in my kitchen..... Well, i am cracking my head.... Suddenly i thought of making the Chocolate spread myself...... (pls refer to below).

It turn out great !!!! My three kids each having 3 pcs at one short, and ask for more.... But, i need to keep some for my hubby.... See, how delicious it could be!

I love this yogurt swiss roll. I will try some other favour soon....

Pineapple Cookies (w Cheese)

My favourite pineapple cookies are here..............

Although i bought the made-ready pineapple paste, the making process of pineapple cookies is still time consuming. I took 4hours for the whole process. Wooh! I was damn tired!

Anyway, it's worthy!! The skin is soft and cheesy..... the paste is not sweet either. Very nice combination!!! Yes, i added 125g grated cheddar cheese to replace the butter. (the recipe yield 175g butter). And it turns out GREAT!!!

I think i could finish all the pineapple cookies by myself.... hahaha!!! I just can't resist it!

Cutest-ever Egg Moulds

Thanks Pynn, my FB-mate from Penang.

I came across some food bloggers, preparing bento for their kids with beautiful and cute-shaped eggs. I am lucky enough to meet Pynn, and asked her for a favour to buy for me. She didn't hesitate and was willing to help me to buy the cutest-ever egg moulds. Furthermore, she queue at the Post Laju at the Post Office to courier the gift to me. I am so touch in my heart to express my gratitude to her. I want to bank-in the cost to her, but she just refuse to accept a single cents. This makes me feel bad.

She is just TOO HELPFUL and FRIENDLY.....!!!

When i received the parcel from the postman, i was very excited! I have been longed for these cutie for some times. I could say they are just too cute for me....OHH!! I IMMEDIATELY ask Kakak to boil 4 eggs for me... i want to test the mould to get the shape!

Well, first trial.... so a bit messy at the edges. See, they are cute, aren't they ?

Thanks Pynn again, for making my day so wonderful :)

Due to last year's highly demand, i record this recipe in my MUST-BAKED list for CNY cookies this year. I am glad that i did a smooth and silky chocolate coating. Hints?

1. Don't overheat when melting chocolate

2. If you are not fast enough to coat all the cookies before the melting chocolate turn hard. I suggest you to overheat 30seconds-1min and stir again for another smooth coating.
