Oreo Cupcakes

Husband is away, thankfully not a lot of times this year.

I have not blogged for ages!! I have also not been cooking or baking much, just the usuals so nothing new that I can post.

Finally my princess wants to help me bake. We made oreo cupcakes, which after baking was yummy, but the day after, a bit dense. But the office people finished them up anyway!

Oreo Cupcakes

250g butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
10 oreos (with cream) crushed
Chocolate chips

I let Princess mix them all up, no 1 egg then mix then another egg method. Didn't even bother to sift the flour hehe. Turns out okay! Maybe next time I can cut 1 egg and add milk instead for softness? This is more sinful (250g butter!!) than the Oreo Muffins, maybe I shall stick to the other recipe instead and omit the baking soda. Also, some of the cupcakes were dripping with butter oil! I drained them with kitchen towel. If they were just a cake block, the base would be really soaking in butter. The horror. So yes yes, next time it shall be the Oreo Muffins recipe.


She's not as messy as her brother, who at 5 is still messy with mixing. Not bad at all, especially for one of her first few tries. Got her to mix the sugar with the butter, and then with flour.


Eager to eat the cupcake, but after a bite she didn't want it anymore. Oh wells.


The inside! Yummy when warm :)

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it

Rice Cooker Chicken Mushroom Claypot

All in one pot cooking, what's not to love!  Got this off tiktok, but I figured the chicken and mushroom in the recipe isn't enough. Wasn't really one pot cooking cos I cooked half of the chicken on a pan then added it later after the rice cooker was done. Rice Cooker Claypot Chicken marinade: 600g boneless thigh, cut into cubes 6 garlic, pound 2 inch ginger, pound 6 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce Rice: Half of the chicken marinade above 2 1/2 cups rice 2 1/2 cups water 3 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 1/2 chicken cube (maybe 2 also can) 300g shitake mushrooms Coriander leaves, cut Spring onions, cut Marinate the chicken and leave it for about 30 min. Wash the rice. Add half the chicken marinade and all other ingredients into the rice cooker and mix well Cook using rice cooker. I cooked the remaining chicken over the stove and added the chicken, juices and all, into the rice cooker when it was just about done and needed a few minutes to set. M
