Oatmeal Cookies

I know I've tried oatmeal cookies before, but I wanted one with the most oatmeal used and that's it. Cos I:
(a) have oatmeal that should be wayyy past the best before date (haha but still edible though!);
(b) am in need of cookies; and
(c) should be making healthier alternatives.

This is a no frills oatmeal cookie, no raisins, no chocolate chips, no fancy chips, no nuts. Just oatmeal. And that was sufficient.

I made large ones, since it was just me eating them (but later my family wanted too).

Recipe from here. 

190g butter 
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup caster sugar
1/4 light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats (recipe calls for rolled oats)


  1. Recipe calls for 226g butter but I had 190g so 190g it is. Cream it with the vanilla, salt and sugars.
  2. Add the egg and cream.
  3. Mix in the flour and leavening agents, and finally the oats. 
  4. Drop tablespoonfuls on baking paper, flatten it to about a cm thick, and bake for 15 min at 170°C.

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...

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
