Nona Marble Cake Mix

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Nona Marble Cake Mix

I baked a marble cake few weeks back. The lazy me went to bought the cake mix instead of sourcing out the ingredients myself hahaha…

This is the cake mix I bought, Nona Marble Cake Mix, you only need to add 4 eggs. The rest of the ingredients are already pre-mix and all in the box. It cost me RM7+. I just follow the instruction on the box.

Beat the margerine with egg then add on the flour. Mix well using high speed.


Place half of the mixture to another bowl and mix the cocoa powder.


Now, you got two colours of batter, layer them. I just followed the box’s instructions(misinterprete it) *LOL* It turned out become layer cake istead of marble cake hahaha… You will see later.


Don’t be fool by the marble pattern 😛 It’s just my bro took those batter that stucked to the bowl and “draw” on the yellowish layer hahaha… Since our baking tray is small, we put some into the cupcake cups.


Place in the oven with 180 degree Celcius, 45 minutes! GOSH! In fact, 15 minutes is more than enough! Since my convection mode was not really in good condition already, I opt for another mode. I thought it will required 45 minutes also -.-” I stoped it at about 20 minutes plus later because it seemed drying up. Ended up… Stone marble cake! Or I would stay stone layer cake hahaha… If I didn’t check on it, it would be BLACK!

Shouldn’t layer the batter like this, should have the first original batter as the base, then add on some cocoa batter on top without spreading it as a layer but just random spots, then pour the original one again, then cocoa one again, so on and so forth. After that, poke the skewer into the batter and “draw” in zig-zag motion. If you have it one layer of original batter, another one layer brown so on and so forth, there is no way you can “draw” any pattern at all and ended up like this.


As for the one in cupcake cups, they were just all right just fail in the pattern ;p. I used another oven for this. The normal oven, not the “high tech” type like the earlier one. For this, it really needs about 45 minutes.

So… Hahaha… My failed marble cake. This is even made from cake mix summore. What a shame hahaha… I never bake one successful cake so far hahaha… Cookies are easier 😛

My Kitchen

Random Photos from Sugar Bun

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Random Photos from Sugar Bun

Pretty tired today… Just a quick update.

Showing you some set meals that you can get from Sugar Bun hahaha… Had this few weeks back with my family. The meat quality was very disappointing, it was dry and small. I noticed that there’s no consistency in their chicken. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it bad.

Anyway, enjoy the very yellowish photos of chicken and fist fillet set meal.

Escargot, Anyone?

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Escargot, Anyone?


Does this gross you out or does this make you salivate? Hehehe…

This is the first time my mom cook snails/escargots with lemon grass and curry. This is the second time I’m having it. My dad bought it because the stall owner said that it can relieve symptom of something-something *LOL* I don’t remember what hahaha…

The first time was given by my aunt. It was a different kind, the type with black cone shell.

My late grandma cooked this a lot last time and it’s something very common that my dad ate when he’s young. For us, it’s like once a blue moon thing, if my dad doesn’t buy it, then we won’t be eating it because my mom won’t buy this kind of thing hahaha… It’s a hassle eating it. You need to prick it out with special tools but we used safety pins hahaha…

Tri-Garden Hot Pot

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Tri-Garden Hot Pot

神经病! In case you don’t know what is this, it means “CRAZY!” in Chinese.

Went to Tri-Garden last week, not for the hot pot though, just to accompany someone for dinner hahaha… If I wasn’t full that night, we would be ordering the hot pot since it’s a cold and rainy night.

Nevermind, we can always go some other days with more people, the more the marrier. It’s almost similar to Chong Qing Steamboat(not sure still in operation or not hmm… Long time didn’t go there hehehe…) but this is from Sichuan. The pot is different too and it uses electrical stove instead of gas.

Before we reached the shop, just few shops away and we could already smell the spiciness! WAH! Heard from friend that the least spicy one is spicy enough already to those that like spicy food. Hahaha… Let’s go challenge it? Hey Ann, Lee! 😛 Let’s go there to have steamboat.


Left: Here’s the menu for the steamboat. The pricings are quite standard, similar to Chong Qing one.
Right: One of the drinks, they recommended this to us, pretty sweet but refreshing. Lemon Sea Coconut(RM2.50).

Here’s two dishes we ordered:

Guiness pork/chicken/prawn/fish/sotong(RM8). I don’t remember what meat it this 😛 As I’m not the one ordering it. It’s very nice to pair with plain rice else the flavour would be a bit too salty. I noticed Sichuan’s flavorings are pretty strong or flavourful. It’s either very sweet, salty or spicy. I guess that’s their uniqueness.


Hong Kong Style Small Cabbage(RM6), this is quite salty also but if you pair it with plain rice, it’s just nice.

By the way, a bowl of rice is RM1.

So… Anyone wanna go? Hehehe… Oh ya… The location, located at Padungan at the previous “Lau Dian”. If you coming from the cat statue, it’s on your left row of shops, you can easily spot it. It’s before Memories if I’m not mistaken.
