YW cooks dinner!

After a good Badminton game, I decided to head back to cook a simple one dish meal dinner! 

With the many "soon-to-expire" ingredients, I really need to make good use of it. 

So what's in my fried rice??? 

Bacon and ham that expires in 2 days, chopped garlic that's expiring in a day,  sotong ball and Chinese sausages but no-no.. these are not expiring:) 

Cooked them with my awesome cooking buddies- soya sc, fish sc, preserved olives and hua tiao jiu and it ended up tasting awesome of course!! 

Not bragging ok...  Really nice!! Lol. 

Alrighty,  wishing everyone a good new month ahead! 

Goodness to all this July!!

Souffle Japanese cheesecake

I love baking and recently joined some baking and cooking forums on FB. 

I tell you....  It's awesome there! 

Being able to learn and see the talents of so many people out there is amazing! 

You thought you knew it all? 

You thought you knew how to bake? 

Go join the forums and you'll find so many talented people sharing their recipes and tips! 

Awesome! 

Anyway,  found a recipe there and tried it! 

Love how simple and tasty it is! 

When I say simple,  it's really simple! 

3 recipes is all you need! 

Ingredients:

125g cream cheese

120g white chocolate

3 eggs,  70g each

Method:

1. Line 7" round pan and grease sides with butter.

2. Separate eggs and put egg whites in fridge. 

This makes it better for meringue later. 

3. Break choco into pieces and melt in double boiler over water till smooth. 

4. Add in cream cheese and mix till smooth. 

5. Remove mixture from heat and cool for a minute. 

6. Mix in egg yolk and whisk. Do not cook egg yolks so take note to make sure mixture is not too hot. 

Whisk and put aside.  

7. Whisk egg whites till firm peaks. 

8. Once firm,  mix 1/3 of meringue into cheese mixture.  Then slowly mix in balance. 

9. Pour into baking pan

Steam bake for 15mins. After, turn down temperature to 160deg and continue baking for 15mins. After, turn off temperature and keep in oven for another 15mins.

Leave out to cool before removing from baking pan.  Chill cake for 2-3hours before consuming. You may also drizzle powdered sugar on top for deco. 

Enjoy!!!

Bath n BodyWorks Hand Sanitizers

Bought some B&B hand sanitizers over the weekend and am totally I love with the smells!

Just also wished they could be hand moisturizers instead of sanitizers as I need it more.  Hee 

But anyways, I got it at those "cube shops" and it was quite reasonable.  3 sanitizers for $10 and the holder was sold at $4. It's not as cheap as in the US where you can get it at $2 for Bath &  Body works but still good enuf!

And FYI, I'm gonna fill it up with moisturizers after the sanitizers finish! 

Wooootz!

Health Bites

I'm serious on losing weight and I really wanna shed off 4kg!!

Im toooooo conscious on how I look and I don't wanna grow fat fat fat, so I have have have to lose some weight!!! 

OK for those that don't know me, many would say.... "what fat is there to lose???" but I would say, there's definitely areas where I'm targeting, such as the TWO MAJOR T's - thigh and tummy!! 

And in that process,  weight must go off too! 

Alright,  so today's just a post I'm sharing after reading through some webbies. 

FRUIT INFUSED WATER!!! 

I do believe that water is a MUST MUST in our daily dosage, but to get the extra vitamins and effects of fruits, no harm adding them to your water and get more benefits right?! 

Tried the lime, orange and lemon before but FYI it's very sour and do not take too much especially on empty stomach or it'll be too acidic for your stomach!! 

Take note especially for those with gastric yea??! 

Happy drinking!

Online shopping spree!

Did some online shopping and found this webbie! 

www.shopfashmob.com

Bought a dress and top and it was awesome! 

Quality was good,  not like those thin poor material.  

Worth a try a shops like Love Bonito and Klarra seem kinda overrated and always on backorders. 

Go try! 

Luv,  YW 

Scooooooooooot away!!!!

Promo time!!!! 

sundays are always the best.

Sunday's are always the best for having ME-time!! 

And that's what today was for me.
It was a long day filled with baking, cooking and shopping and yet I still felt more Happy then tired:))

I've been baking/cooking every weekend and every week's a different menu! I'll share with u previous weekend cookouts later.
So what was on 22nd June's Sunday Dinner Menu??

Seafood Baked Rice
Oven baked Herb Lamb Chops
Cotton Japanese Cheesecake

Lovedddd the baked rice much much as I added in my favourite mentaiko mixture in the rice as well! But I should have added more cream sauce as I felt the rice didn't get enough cream.

1St time making baked rice or... should I say 1st time myself. LOL. Managed to taste Super yumz!!

It's Super easy!

1. Cook whatever ingredients you want with uncooked rice. I added prawns, then mushrooms and crab claw meat! Add salt and pepper to taste. I also added thyme as I Love the smell!!

2. After stir frying for abt 5 mins, transfer to rice cooker and add about 2 garlic cloves.
I only used 1 cuppa rice (cup meaning the cup that comes with e rice cooker cup) So I added about 2 and 1/3rds water.

3. Once rice is cooked, allow to cool before transferring to baked rice ramekin or any oven friendly bowl. Pour over homemade cream sauce * or uncooked mushroom campbell soup over rice and top up with mozzarella+Cheddar cheese.
*I made the cream sauce myself with chicken stock, thick sauce and some cornflour.
Bake for 30mins @ 180degrees.

*Cream Sauce:
Heat thick cream and 1tbsp corn flour. I add in the cream first so texture will be smooth. Add in chicken stock and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste and put aside to thicken and cool.

Tada!!!
So that's my version of seafood baked rice for you!
will share my recipes and baking escapades soon!

Till then, YW
