and hola, here comes the durian roll!
super glad that these durians didn't go to waste! 200g of durian flesh went into the filling. everyone in the family loves them (:baby sis even left 'NAISE durian roll!' on fb wall. uber happy with all the satisfaction from faces after eating it *beams*
will make one again when Jie is back from China!
Project for the day: Peach roll
I've lots to improve on and top of the list is the rolling part. It's not tight at all with lots of spaces in between the folds. Swiss rolls should be compact & mine's a fail. Looking more like a peach strudel than a peach roll. Also, I didn't spread the batter evenly too when I poured it into the baking tray. Luckily the taste and texture saved the day! Might not have succeeded in the aesthetic aspect, but at least it tastes great!
It's being chilled now and I can't wait to serve it to mummy and pa after dinner~ baby sis and auntie say that it's yums
My future home must be equipped with an awesome oven and mixer cause I'm already envisioning all the baking that I'll be doing for my future husband and kids!
UPDATED:
Mummy and Pa gave the thumbs up! sooooo I'm going ahead to make DURIAN ROLL tomorrow! ((:
one of the things I love to do when I'm home (:
Finished the packet of chocolate chips today. Time to get more baking stuff.
and mummy is bringing 5 muffins for her colleagues tomorrow to try! her first time doing so. mmm, hopefully i'll have good reviews~
Jie's 2nd business trip & this time it's to Xiamen, China
Have a good trip Jie and we'll see you in 2 weeks' time~ hopefully with more pejoys and pocky treats (:

Managed to squeeze in quite a number of activities within this week!
Monday: More of me-time! Swimming in the morning, borrowing mag from library and reading them over tea at Toastbox
Tuesday: took Popo out for lunch. she loved the herbal soup noodles much
we've got the same nose!

Wednesday: Pampering session #2 for bestie at Triple Three! we had lots of prawns for that night! loving fresh seafood and sashimi!

loving the colours (:
was a fun fun day of baking!Friday: Complimentary full body massage at Chrysalis Spa & tuition. Bouts of giggles and laughter here and there when the therapist kneaded her fists for an hour long.
Saturday: Tuition and got back lappie!
& my lappie went through a total makeover, and credit goes to gh! threw all the trash out from it and re-organised everything from icons, drives to bookmarks. all sites that I frequent are just clicks away. loving the keyboard protector, SD card and the wireless pink mouse he threw in as gifts (: a big thank you for the time and effort put into this overhaul!
with HSS FOC 2010 officially over, it's finally finally 2 weeks of me-time before semester starts! lots of stuff jumping about in my head & i'm trying my best to pack them neatly in. time's tight, but that's what is exciting.
pretty random, but I was looking through a blogger's photologue about her trip to Sydney and Paris with her fiancé and it got me fuzzy wuzzy inside. will want to fulfil that dream too in future, just like how she did, travelling to the most romantic cities in the world!!!
so many things to work towards to, and i've started! have you?
Sisters' day out on Sunday, with Inception & good old ice-cream and warm Azuki at MOF (:

& looking forward to end this week with dinner at Putien with family!
Putien @ JP. Luckily we made reservations for dinner for the waiting crowd was insanely huge!
Jie, I'm already looking forward to your family treat next month!
I felt they could do better with larger tables for family crowds. We had to squeeze quite a bit and more than 2 dishes can't be served at once.
unique dish of the day: stir-fry yam! We all loved the combination of fish sauce & yam. gave yam an interesting twist to its usual familiar blend and flat taste (:
we could only managed a regular cup with double scoop at Anderson's later. Definitely going back to try other dishes
