Ladurèe!

Last Friday, me and my friend spent an afternoon at the City. We initially wanted to visit the Sydney Library, but unfortunately someone was caught in ZARA sale and it took her quite long in the shop (that's me!). Anyway, we made it to Laduree in Westfield Sydney instead. I was soooooo excited! You don't know how bad I wanted to try Laduree's macaroons! I always dream coming to Paris...

Tuna-Mushroom Oat Porridge

In an attempt to start healthy living, I've been avoiding high cholesterol food. However, I never really tried to find out about the food that actually lowers the cholesterol. My husband's been an avid eater of high cholesterol food, such as cow's brain and jeroan (can somebody help with translations, please?). Since we lived together, I have been forever forbidding him to eat cow's brain (his...

Cinnamon Rolls 2

Had a leftover half block of cream cheese. Thought I'd make cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting on top, because the cream cheese wasn't enough for a cheesecake, hehe. If you scroll back to one of my early posts, you may find a cinnamon rolls recipe. But this time, I tried another recipe. It's from a website I don't commonly trust for a recipe: about.com. But I did. The only thing that made...

Summer-y Agar Jelly

Summer is on in Sydney, yeah! What I love about summer is the stone fruits! Peach, nectarine, cherry, you name it! I love 'em all! This season I've been having weekly regular trips to Sydney Flemington market just to pick up these delicacy of summer. A couple of weeks ago, we picked up a bottle of fizzy pink lemonade from Aldi. The funny thing is that we only bought it because we wanted the bottle!...

Tom Yum

So very sorry! This is a very very late post on my Tom Yum soup that I made on my first visit to Sydney (since I got married). It was spring at that time and I kinda craved for something spicy and hot. Yep, Tom Yum's got it all! And I could never get enough of this on cold days! Always remember that you can adjust this recipe to your liking by adding more of the spices shown below. Ingredients: 500gr...

New Kitchen Helper

New year, new kitchen helper! A week before my flight back to jakarta on November, the mixer at home broke. Means, I can't bake anything which involves beating ingredients on high speed. Bunbun said, "lets get a sturdier (and bigger, obviously) machine as an investment". So we looked up a few options. We initially wanted a Breville scraper mixer, but everytime we contacted a second hand seller, they...
