I have some leftover cooking chocolate left after making chocolate cake. So, I decided to make chocolate milk with it. The cooking chocolate itself is sweet enough so there is no need to add extra sugar.

Very basic ingredients. Just need hot milk with some cooking chocolate. A pinch of salt is optional. If you have chocolate sauce, it will make your life so much easier. Just hot milk with chocolate sauce. Mix them well. As simple as that!

By the way, isn’t the mug cute? I don’t think you can easily find this now. However, there are many similar couple mugs on Lazada. Do check them out if you want.

I will share a crunchy crab stick snack recipe with you in this post. This snack is popular among Malaysian households in recent years during CNY, Raya, or Gawai. You can find it in many households.

I always failed when making this snack. It will go soft once it’s cold. The cooking process is tedious and messy with so much oil needed too. Hence, I decided to try to oven-bake it after I got my new oven (Samsung 28L Convection Microwave Oven with Slim Fry SAM-MC28M6035KW) and it works! No need to worry about oil splatters and use very little oil. You know cooking oil is bloody expensive now! Not healthy to eat too much deep-fried food too.

The only problem with oven-baking is that you have to take time to arrange the crab stick strips on the tray one by one to ensure that it doesn’t overlap with each other. This takes time and if you want to make big batches, it will be very time-consuming.

You can also air-fry it but because the capacity of the air fryer is small, you can’t do it in a big batch. This will require more time. I’ve tried it with an air fryer before, but it’s not air-fried evenly because of the overlapping. The key is not to get it overlapped with each other.

I hope this video helps and happy trying!

Lastly, check out other CNY recipes for the coming celebrations. Hahaha! Not even Christmas and already preparing for CNY ;p

By the way, more recipes can be found on my YouTube channel too.

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.
