Was given a box of Dr. Oetker Nona Moist Cake Chocolate Mix early this year. it sure took me quite some time to have the mood to bake it. Here you go. It is very easy to make. Just follow the instructions on the box.

Then, I made it a little bit fancy by covering it with ganache. This is my first time making this kind of cake. Always see it online where people would poke the cake with lots of holes. Then, they poured the ganache onto the cake. Let the ganache make its way through the holes and you’ll get moist and rich chocolate cake. The chocolate would even flow out like lava.

Made the ganache with cooking chocolate and milk instead of cream. I thought it won’t work but it did. The consistency is just nice for it to flow into the holes. Here’s the video in case you want to make ganache without using cream.

Have you tried this brand of cake mix before? I’ve tried its Dr. Oetker Nona Buttermilk Pancake Mix (Buy here: https://invol.co/cl4ap37 ). Also, tried Dr. Oetker Nona Brownies (Marble) (Buy here: https://invol.co/cl8lio6 ) too.

Saw this banana spring roll recipe in a magazine a few months back and decided to try it out. I happened to have too many bananas and leftover spring roll pastry sheets from CNY. The recipe is labeled as a vegan recipe in the magazine. However, as far as I know, vegan doesn’t eat cheddar cheese. I guess vegans can replace the cheese with a vegan-friendly one.

You can do this recipe in two different ways. Whichever suits you. This one here is just mashing and mixing everything together and pan-fry it.

The other way is to cut the ingredients into pieces and arrange them. It won’t make any difference to the taste or texture at all. You can’t see the arrangement too after it’s pan-fried.

Just be creative. You can have anything as the filling. If you want to find other recipes that use spring roll pastry sheets aka popiah skin, here are two that you might want to check out:

Have fun making it.

I never thought that roti kok is so easy to make at home. After watching it on TV, I tried making it. It is indeed easy. All you need are bread, butter, and sugar. Then bake it in the oven (170 degree Celsius, 15-17 minutes, no flipping needed) or air fryer (160 degree Celsius, 13-15 minutes, flip it mid-cycle). As simple as that.

Once done, leave it to cool then store in an airtight container. Have fun trying!

Ok… Finally, I’m back. It was such a busy month and when I finally have time to update, the blog was down. It’s fixed today (finger crossed). It was all SSL problem. I hope there won’t be any other problem again.

Ever heard of or eaten “Chai Gor” aka Vegetarian Goose aka 斋鹅 ? This is my favourite vegetarian meat. Usually, it’s pan-fried but I decided to try to air fry it. WOW! Didn’t expect it to puff up with such a crunch. Definitely need to give this a try, less oil is needed. Try it out. Quite nice to eat especially with porridge or just eat it on its own.
