I’m writing this post as I’m breastfeeding the little one. Of all the new challenges that comes with a newborn, breastfeeding probably tops that list! It is alone a full time job latching, pumping, washing and sanitizing bottles, and ensuring that you’re getting sufficient nutrition and being properly hydrated! And some mums like myself face…

Croissant Pudding
As you can imagine, while I’m still on my first month of caring for my newborn, I’m binging on a fair share of Netflix, and was thoroughly inspired by Nadiya’s croissant pudding while watching Nadiya Bakes! This recipe from Episode 5 “Bakes to Share” required very minimal ingredients and was done in almost no time…
Chocolate Wool Roll Bread
And so, the last 2 weeks of being a new mum has been exhausting to say the least! It’s been both exciting and overwhelming taking care of a newborn, especially when I’ve had an emergency c-section. But, I was getting bored of lying in bed binging on Disney+ while breastfeeding every few hours. I wanted…
Coconut-Kaya Dutch Baby Pancake
In the states, you’d refer to it as the Dutch Baby Pancake. Note that the word “Dutch” is a little misleading, as it isn’t actually Dutch at all. However, in the UK, you’d call it a Yorkshire pudding. The recipe of both batters can pretty much be used interchangeably, although the Yorkshire pudding would generally…
2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Crepe
Here’s a super simple crepe you could make using only 2 ingredients! And yes, you’ve probably already figured out that peanut butter would be one of them from reading the title 😉 These crepes are thin and delicate and so simple to make! They’re perfect for weekend brunches that are done in no time. And…
Croissants aux Amandes
Buttery, bold and beautiful. Take your regular croissants up a notch by dressing them up with almond cream and icing sugar! Make them with day-old croissants, because it’s the best way to use up any leftovers. Most people enjoy having this for breakfast, but I definitely feel like they’re more of a dessert and a…
Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Panna Cotta
Easily the most popular dessert in all of Thailand, Mango Sticky Rice is pretty much my default dessert after every meal on my frequent Bangkok trips! The good news is that this dessert is pretty simple to make, requiring only a few ingredients: glutinous rice, coconut milk and sweet mangoes! I’ve made a healthier version…
Soft and Fluffy Tri-Coloured Milk Bread
I’ve always loved Asian style soft, fluffy milk bread, and with the current lockdown in place, what better to do than make your own? This recipe doesn’t require a bread machine and the dough is simple and easy to knead. It is also completely optional to colour them, especially if you’re not a fan of…
Almond Pear Tart
We’re not quite on lockdown mode yet as with some countries already are. Malls, bars and attractions are still opened, with caution of a 250 people capacity limit. Who knows when this may change, as with the constant breaking news you hear from all around the world. Because in the world of epidemiology, time moves…
Mango Sticky Oatmeal
A healthier take on the classic Thai dessert, this Mango Sticky Oatmeal is the epitome of un-monotonous oatmeal and mindful eating. I absolutely adore mango sticky rice and it is highly possible that I continuously exceed the imaginary quota an average human being should consume in their lifetime. Its simple yet rich flavours capture my…
Dutch Appeltaart
The best part of Thanksgiving is probably that moment just right after your final bites of turkey. Before you proceed to put on Netflix / play board games or what have you, there’s that magical moment where a delicious pie gets served fresh out the oven and fills the room with a euphoric aroma. Apple, pumpkin…
Earl Grey Cookies with Dark Chocolate
Wouldn’t it be lovely to pay only for a box of all the ingredients you’ll only need for what you’re baking? And God no, I’m not referring to cake mixes. Enjoy the full baking from scratch experience without the hassle of measuring, portioning, and shopping for individual ingredients when you purchase a Baking Kit with BakeStarters….
Dutch Baby Pancakes
Ever since I got my new cast iron skillet, these babies (literally) are my new go-to for breakfasts or brunches. No need for grocery shopping because you’d already have most of these ingredients sitting in your kitchen. (And if you don’t, I’m not judging) Almost like making a cake out of a box, you dump all…
Peanut Butter & Bacon French Toast with Caramelized Bananas
There are 2 kinds of people in this world: Those who love mixing sweet and savory, and those who think it’s absolutely blasphemous to do so. I certainly belong to the former. Chocolate and cheese, pulled-pork and maple syrup, honey and chilli, bacon and waffles… you name it! Today, we’re making Peanut Butter and…
Toblerone Fudge Brownies with Crinkly Crust
“Brownies are the easiest to make.” That’s what they say… and I do agree to an extent. These bad boys usually don’t need any creaming or whipping. Just mix it all up in a bowl and bake it in the oven! Poof! You’re done… also on the condition that you didn’t try to change the recipe. Now,…
Churros
Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! To be honest, I’ve never celebrated this Holiday as we don’t have it in either Singapore or Canada. I’m simply hopping on the bandwagon to post a popular dessert in Mexico! When I think about churros, I’m reminded of theme parks and street fairs. Your rides would not be complete…
Pineapple Tarts with a Twist
So I guess it’s become a yearly affair. It just doesn’t feel like Chinese New Year when you don’t stuff yourself with the never-ending stream of cookies. And there’s just one in particular that I absolutely can’t do without.. my pineapple tarts. These are probably one of the most time-consuming cookies to make, yet quick to finish!…
Eggnog Scones with Orange Peel
Nothing spells Christmas like eggnog and cinnamon spice. A warm scone by the fireplace, away from the blistering cold as you slowly sip your favourite cup of coffee… Who am I kidding; it’s Singapore and it’s 28°C (82°F) here. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I am starting to miss the snow! I’m waiting for the…
