About this Cook
I love to eat, but those carbs go right to my thighs!! I'm a software programmer by day, but a home economist by night. I love showering my colleagues with baked goodies from my kitchen. I slave over the oven for the compliments. ;)
My favorite things to cook
Chocolate cupcakes, banana bread, omelettes, vegetarian chili, quinoa, chick pea curry, Spicy Chinese Eggplant, pizza
My cooking triumphs
Italian Meringue Buttercream! At first, I thought I screwed it up. It was sopping mess after beating it for 5 minutes! Reluctant to throw it out, I stuck it in the fridge. I revived it the next day and beat the mixture for another 5-10 minutes. The result was beautiful.
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make a frozened cheesecake once. I must have pressed the chocolate cookie-crumbed crust too hard because it was way to hard to cut. The frozened cheesecake itself was also too hard.

Banana Crumb Muffins
I was surprised at how easy this recipe was, and the result was tasty! The texture of the muffin was good too - light & fluffy.

Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts
Pretty good recipe! I modded the crust recipe according to the reviews and used less icing sugar and used cake & pastry flour instead of all-purpose. I liked that the crust was slightly sweet, almost like a soft cookie, and not typical of those from the bakery/dim sum restaurant. Also, 450F was too hot for these tarts, so I baked them at 425F for around 15 min. I will definitely make these egg tarts again!

Buttermilk Scones
It seems there might be too much flour in these scones because they became really pastey in my mouth. My fiance loved them though. I didn't roll out the dough, but instead used my hands to roll a fistfull of dough into balls. So maybe they were too thick. I might try to add other flavours to these scones next time and maybe reduce the flour and add a bit of sugar.
