What a day!

So glad that i can have this post up today. Was a tad worried that i wasn’t able to initially. But of course, this post’s here is all because i gave up 90 minutes of my resting + sleeping time. Yes, you Daniel, you.. i’m deprived from my rest + beauty sleep because of my promise to you! But hey, great initiative. ;)

As some of you may have known already, apart from supplying the family 3 meals a day, i’m also their supplier for tea-time break in the late afternoon and often, after-dinner dessert. Yeah, don’t pray pray ah.. ma life is definitely not a bed of roses ah! Without the helper, i’m still doing EVERYTHING, well.. almost la. :P

Yupyupyup, if this mother of 3 can cook and bake for the family so many times a day without a helper, so can you. It doesn’t have to be complicated. A lot of times, the food i cook is so simple that i only need 15-30 minutes to whip it up. And one-pot-meals? My all time favourite!
(i think you’ve already known that. i’m just being very the lor soh! :P)

Just tonight, all i cooked for dinner was blanched kailan with oyster sauce, soya sauce and fried garlic dressing, and, a pot of radish soup with fish maw and fish ball. How simple is that? The boys couldn’t wait to slurrrrpp their soup in their bowl of rice i tell ya. So easy to eat!

Instead of posting another savoury, proper main dish, i picked this, a cake — which i whipped up specially for my beloved family (fine, mostly for myself okie but but, they did gobble the slices up in minutes! :P).

One glance at the cake’s name and i was sold.

Pwaahhh.. i mean, seriously?!?!

Black sesame cake? With pear?! And then yogurt?! And holy moly, what’s that? YOGURT?!?! C’mon, how can i not bake this cake, right?! Wait, i should say, how can i not have this cake post up today right? Riiiight? HEH.

——————————-

As a Chinese, ingredients like black sesame, black bean and pear are not uncommon in desserts. Many times, these ingredients in Chinese desserts are well known for their nourishing properties (read : for health & beauty!). So you can’t quite blame me when i helped myself with at least 3 slices of this cake, all in the name of ermm, well.. health and beauty (sugar, butter, white flour? Apa itu?). HAHA!

Verdict :

I’ve only got 3 words for ya — BAKE IT NOW!

Trust me, you’ll L-O-V-E it. ;)

ps : but i might just omit the pear next time. i don’t quite fancy pears when they’re baked. Mushy much, no like.
