Thoughts That Count

It's really very kind and warmhearted of Christine who actually send me a surprised parcel all the way from Victoir, Australia. I am really so touch and shock to receive this mystery gift from her. Although I only know her for less than 2 months, but she is so caring and sweet that she actually post me something that I love base on what she read from my blog. Thank you so much, Christine. Your little thought means so much to me.


Dear Christine, thanks for your "Super Food Ideas" magazine which enlighten up my week. I missed this magazine very much ever since I came back to Singapore from Australia. Actually I used to order it on line but then the postage is rather expensive so in end I gave up after 1 year of subscription. But..... one of my another friend is collecting this food magazine for me during her stay there.... So I will be able to get the whole year issue during her next year trip back to Singapore. For those who is interested in more food creation ideas, you can check out this book at this site(click here). Posted by Picasa

New Books On the Shell

Since today, 09 August 2008 is our Singapore National Day, Popular Bookstore is having a 2 days 20% Storewide Sale.......... these 3 books hence added into my books collection. I had long wish to buy the Cheesecake Recipe from Alex Goh, I had all his collection of books from cake, bread making, chocolate and etc.

Although I am long past the Pregnancy or Post Motherhood stage, I still love all kinds of confinement food. Maybe the reason is I didn't have a proper confinement meal when I gave birth to Reyon :p So I kind of missing all those foods. But then most of you will be wondering... Since I was such a wide collection of cookery books, why the posts in my blog is still moving at such a slow pace. The reason so is because, I love to collect all kinds of cookbooks but then I don't really have time to cook those dish as I am so tie down with all kinds of commitments. But I will still try my best to post those interest recipe that I come across with.

I bought this book especially for my mum :) Not because that she is already at the Old Age but then it's because it had a lot of information on the kinds of food which is suitable for her age. She will have a rough idea of what to eat and what not too. She is very keen in inventing all kids of dishes but then too bad, she is not interest in those cookbook that I own. Because she is more into those easy meals which involve less washing, cutting and less ingredients. Posted by Picasa

Collection Of My Recipe Books

These are some of the collections of my recipe books and food magazines over the years since I started to be a housewife and develop interests in cooking and baking. There are a wide range of collection from Asian to Western cuisine. I love to collect those recipe books which provide attractive photos and easy to get ingredients before I will consider to purchase it.



My favourite Food Magazines are Super Food Ideas from Australia. I came across this magazine during my stay in Australia in 2000 and ever since, I started to collect almost every issue of it. I even order it online before when I am back in Singapore but then the price and postage is much too high compare to purchase it over there. Other than that, I also love to collect the Food & Travel magazine from local publisher which often published some interesting bakes and meal ideas. I also have a collection of Alex Goh baking series which I find it easy to understand and follow.....

These are some of the Soup recipe books that I have. I love to collect all kinds of Asian Soup recipe books which involves using Chinese Herbs as one of the main ingredients. During my Stay at home period, I love to experience with different kinds of soup for our daily meal and it's really interesting when you gets to study what kind of herbs is good for building up our body immune systems and etc. Other than daily homecook soup, I am also interested in those sweet dessert soup and one of my favourite is Barley, Ginkgo Nut & Bean curd Soup. You can take a look at some of my homecook dessert under this link (click here).

Sushi!!!! One of Reyon's favourite meal. I guess it's because of it's attractive layout and presentation. So Japanese cookbooks are also one of my favourite collection as I love to see the way they present their food in bento setup. So far, I only did a few of the Japanese Recipes because I am still not very well-verse in handling Japanese Dish. Sushi Tale is one of the Japanese Dish that I did together with Reyon because he simply love to be in the Kitchen with me... Other than all these sample of the cookbooks and tested recipes, actually I am also interested in trying out all kind of cuisines as you can see from my Recipes Index List. I have a wide range of recipes from western, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and etc.... so do drop by and give me your suggestions or feedback....... Posted by Picasa

Cute Collections

This set of cute dessert cutlery is a gift from my oversea blog pal. She knew that I love to collect all sorts of baking utenslis and equipments that is cute. Ai Yen, thanks for your wonderful thoughts :) Now I can use them on my next bake.

A Mortar and Pestle is a tool used to crush, grind, and mix substances. The pestle is a heavy stick whose end is used for pounding and grinding, and the mortar is a bowl. The substance is ground between the pestle and the mortar. Mortars are also used in cooking to prepare ingredients such as pesto (which derives its name from the pestle pounding), as well as grinding spices into powder. I managed to find this mini utensils while tiding the cupboard. I bought two different sizes of this during my stay in Australia a few years back which I used to use it to grind spices for cooking.
