Breakfast!

Finally after so long, I'm reunited with my all time favourite cereal - Post Waffle Crisp!
My father can't stand the strong caramel smell. Haha. But I love it especially when it mixes and sweetens the milk!

Dropped by 7-11 to get milk before work. Decided to try Meiji Strawberry Milk. Kinda thick. It was on offer - but if it's from 7-11 I doubt the offer's worth it but hey I didn't have any other choice - at $2, and the kind cashier gave me a free gift! Kept in a yellow spherical capsule, inside holds two handphone accessories of the Little Men and Little Miss series! I got Mr Nosey and Little Miss Shy. I think I'll go with Little Miss Shy. Hurhur.

FIL's friend came back from Amsterdam bringing back for us this pack of Gouda's Gilde Original Karamell Gefullte Wafflen. Looks delicious! Saw on the ingredients, Bourbon vanilla. And I thought, damn! Isn't Bourbon a type of wine?! Googled to find out what's Bourbon vanilla, and here it is from Answers.com:
Bourbon vanilla refers to a particular type of vanilla plant cultivated on Madagascar, Reunion Island, ect (the "Bourbon" Islands).

Vanilla planifola, Vanilla tahensis, and Vanilla pompona are the three major variants of Vanilla orchid and are grown around the world in the Indian Ocean area, Tahiti & other South Pacific Islands, and Central/South America, respectively.

Bourbon vanilla beans are most commonly used for the vanilla extract you see at the grocers.
Heng ah! Okay will gobble them up later :) Tried it! SUPER sweet! Even by my sweet tooth standards. Having trouble finishing one piece! :S

Have a great day at work everyone!

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

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
