<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Long weekends means
that there are already only two more days till the weekends! YAY! And to add to that,
I had an absolutely fun, crazy and unforgettable weekend, thanks guys!</span><br />

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I've been wanting
to go to The Pig and Pastry in Petersham for a long time but every time I leave
the house it's either a few minutes from midday or past midday - and
unfortunately their breakfast menu only goes up to noon. So finally on the
Sunday I surprisingly made it in time for their breakfast menu! Located just a
few steps from Parramatta Road, it isn't hard to find it with plenty of street
parking.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we got there it
was pretty filled and we had to wait a few minutes. Even after the wait the
only free table was up on the counter by the window so we made our way there,
hoping to move to a table once one was available. Unfortunately it was pretty hard
to talk to each other on the counter but even after we ordered there wasn't any
tables so we just decided to stay there.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Woohoo exams are
over!! And there goes my first year of uni which means I'm already one third
through my degree! But (there's always a but) unlike every other lucky uni kid,
I don't get a three months long holiday :( infact my holidays just started yesterday and end on Sunday
night cause I have school on Monday. Already? Noooo :'( and what doesn’t make
it any better is that I have work on Sunday which means my whole day is pretty
much gone as well. In saying so, I still want the weekend to go slowly,
actually weekend, please don’t go away haha.</span></div>

got my P's… exams booked! Haha no, not my provisional one licence - only the
exam booked which I am still not quite ready for.. And let's not go into how
many hours I've done haha. But I still have a bit under a month till the exam
so there's still time. Can’t wait to get them when I'll no longer be a L
plater! Fingers and toes crossed that I'll pass :D </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Rhubarb, rhubarb,
rhubarb. I have to confess something - I have never tasted rhubarb before until a few
weeks ago. I think the first time I heard about it was </span><span style="font-size: 14.545454025268555px;">probably</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> on the earlier series of Masterchef and plus I've seen it around in the supermarkets and lots of </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;">rhubarb crumble </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">recipes but I've never tried it! And so I was curious...</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Dad, what does
rhubarb taste like? "</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It's similar
to celery.."</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Wait, does it look like
celery or does it actually taste like celery? I really </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">dislike celery but I
still wanted to find out how rhubarb tastes like. And so with the risk of it
tasting like celery, I tried the rhubarb and almond tart from </span><a href="http://bourkestreetbakery.com.au/" style="font-size: 11pt;" target="_blank">Bourke Street Bakery</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. I thought that seeing there's only a couple of slices on the top of the tart I could take it off if I didn't like it and still have the rest of the tart. Easy. But when I tried it… firstly, it
did not taste like celery, not even a bit! Haha and secondly, I quite liked the
taste! It had a sour/tart flavour to it which was very different and distinct</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.
And from that day </span><span style="font-size: 14.545454025268555px;">onward</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> I developed a slight crush for it hehe - I bought some rhubarb,
baked rhubarb crumble slices, made some rhubarb jam, packaged some in the fridge ready for my next baking and every time I see it in a bakery I already knew that was what I was getting! </span></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat
the oven to 180°C and butter a 9-inch square pan. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix together the
flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add the butter and
egg and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you get a
crumbly mixture. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place 2/3 of the
crumble mixture into the square pan and press it down to get an even layer. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make the filling,
mix the rhubarb, vanilla and sugar together. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the filling in
an even layer on top of the crumble base. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sprinkle the
remaining crumble mixture evenly on top. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake for 30 - 35
minutes until golden-brown.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Let it cool slightly

simple and fresh and it was quite spacious with lots of brightness. The glass bottles filled with fresh sunflowers on each table were
really cute! I really liked the setting - with all the sunlight, the exposed
wall, pot plants and white interior, it's such a lovely place for brunch!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dinner reception
was held at the <a href="http://deckhouse.com.au/" target="_blank">Deckhouse</a> in Woolwich which was a lovely venue right next to
the water. And there was a bonus! The wedding was on the weekend of the
International Fleet Review which means… fireworks!! The fireworks were
spectacular and we had such a lovely view right by the water! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We started with sourdough bread rolls and for the entrees
there were alternatives of <b>seared scallops, parsnip fennel puree, crispy pancetta and mixed herb salad</b> and <b>lamb cutlet with a potato mint salad and yoghurt dressing</b>. I had the seared scallops and it was cooked lovely, just right - I'm usually not a fan of scallops but I really enjoyed this one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">And so I came across this
incomplete post which I started literally a month ago and completely forgot
about! I think I should finish finish it this time.. haha</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">…Because
strawberries are one of the only fruits my brother eats, I decided to make something with
strawberries for his birthday. It was his birthday <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">just
recently</span> (some time ago) and I wanted to make him a cake.. so why not a strawberry tart?</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the tart base, I
used Bourke Street Bakery's sweet shortcrust pastry - I made the pastry dough a
few days earlier, fridged it, rolled and baked it on the day and luckily it had
enough time to cool :) This sweet shortcrust recipe is also the one I used to
make the ginger brulee tart and lemon curd tart for the <a href="http://softnstiffpeaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/le-dessert-table.html" target="_blank">dessert table</a> - I
absolutely love love the recipe! </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And for the pastry
cream I used Tony Wong's recipe which I got from a cooking show (Hong Kong's Mr Sweet) which he
demonstrated a few of his recipes. And yep, the show was in Chinese so I had to
translate the recipe to something I would understand. That is, while I watched it
I had to press play and pause every two seconds and translate the Chinese to
English. However, it was definitely worth the effort! I've tried a couple of his recipes
and this one turned out to be one of my favourite! In Tony Wong's demonstration
he made the pastry cream and used it to fill profiteroles (I fill my
profiteroles with this pastry cream as well) which assemble into a
croquembouche!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>For the sweet
shortcrust pastry:</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Recipe from Bourke Street Bakery and <a href="http://theboywhobakes.co.uk/2010/03/ginger-brulee-tarts/" target="_blank">The Boy Who Bakes</a></i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">400g unsalted
butter, chilled and cut into cubes</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">20ml vinegar,
chilled</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">100g caster sugar,
chilled</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">170ml water, chilled</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">665g plain flour</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5g salt</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take the butter out
of the fridge 20 minutes before you start so it can softened and it'll be easier to
work with. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put the chilled
vinegar and sugar in a bowl and mix together, set aside for 10 minutes to allow
the sugar to dissolve. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are mixing
the dough by hand, mix together the flour, butter and salt. Using your
fingertips rub the butter into the flour to combine.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are using a
food processor, put the flour, butter
and salt in the food processor and pulse for a couple of seconds or until
partly combined. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the flour
mixture onto a clean, floured work surface and gather together. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sprinkle over the
sugar mixture and use the palm of your hand to smear the mixture away from you
across the surface. Gather together again and repeat this process a couple more
times until the dough is brought together. You should be able to see streaks of
butter marbled through the final dough, which will give it a slightly flaky
texture. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Divide the dough in
half and shape into two round flat discs. Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate
for at least 2 hours. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove the dough
from the fridge 20 minutes before using them. Roll out the pastry dough on a
lightly floured surface to about 3mm thick.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut the pastry into
circles that are a little bigger than your tart moulds. Place the dough onto the top
of the tart tin and use your fingers to gently push the dough into the mould.
Allow the excess pastry to hang over the tin as the pastry will shrink while cooking. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the lined tart
tins in the freezer for 20 minutes before baking. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat
the oven to 180°C.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Line the tarts with
a layer of baking paper or aluminium foil and fill with pastry beans or uncooked rice.
Bake the tart/tarts for 20-25 minutes or until cooked and golden all over. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note let the tart
base cool down before filling it with pastry cream. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>For the pastry
cream:</b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Recipe from Tony Wong</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">125g caster sugar</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">50g cornflour</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">500ml milk</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">120g egg yolk</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">25g butter</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 vanilla bean </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">100g thickened
cream, whipped to stiff peaks </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put half of the
sugar and all the cornflour into a mixing bowl. Gently mix together with a
whisk and slowly pour in half the milk. Stir to combine. Add the egg yolks and
mix well. Set aside. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the rest of
the milk and the remaining sugar into a saucepan. Scrape the vanilla bean and
add the vanilla seeds and bean into the saucepan with milk and sugar. When the
mixture boils, take it off the heat. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slowly pour the warm
mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously at the same time to
prevent the yolks from scrambling. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When mixed together,
pour the mixture back into the saucepan and onto the heat. Stir continuously
until the mixture is thickened and cloggy. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take it off the
stove and mix in the butter which will melt from the heat. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pour the mixture
though a fine sieve to get rid of any lumps and to ensure that the pastry cream will be
smooth. Press cling wrap directly onto the surface of the pastry cream which
will prevent a skin from forming. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Refrigerate the
pastry cream until cold which can take up to 3 hours.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before using pastry cream, fold the whipped cream into the mixture and mix it to a smooth consistency. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">To assemble the
tart:</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spread the pastry
cream over the base of the cooled tart shell. Arrange the strawberries over the
pastry cream so they slightly overlap. Brush strawberries with strawberry jam
or glaze. Set aside until it sets. Place that tart/tarts in the fridge until ready to
serve. Enjoy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14.545454025268555px;">On the way to <a href="http://softnstiffpeaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/copo-cafe-and-diner-drummoyne.html" target="_blank">Copo Café and Diner</a> we were stuck in traffic along Lyons Road and drove past Lyons R.A.W. (across Drummoyne's Bakehouse Café and Ocean's Food). And after some googling, it seems like a pretty nice place for breakfast. So there we were, driving to Drummoyne for two Sundays in a row.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">When I first found
out about The Sweet Swap I was really excited and wanted to sign up for it
straight away! But unfortunately I </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> know if I would be able to make it in
time to send them off seeing that my exams were coming up. But in the end,
nothing stopped me!! Ahaha I was super duper excited to get started!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.thesweetswap.com/" target="_blank">The Sweet Swap </a>is an
event hosted by Sara from <a href="http://bellyrumbles.com/" target="_blank">Belly Rumbles</a> and Amanda from <a href="http://www.chewtown.com/" target="_blank">Chew Town</a> where more
than fifty bloggers across Australia made little sweet packages for each other.
We each made a sweet and sent them to three other bloggers and in return we
received three packages. The small registration fee was donated to the charity <a href="http://www.childfund.org.au/" target="_blank">Childfund Australia</a>. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the day of my
last exam to the due date of sending the sweets off, I only had a few days
(literally three days) to decide what to make, attempt it, make an edible
batch, package it and then send them off! I was so worried if I could make them in time! </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, what to
make!!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This brought me back
to weeks ago when I got the Origin Energy freebie at Central Station which
were Allens Fantales lollies (wrapped in Origin Energy packaging). I haven't
eaten Fantales in years and boy did I forget how good they tasted. They were
gone fast and before I knew it I was the the </span><span style="font-size: 14.545454025268555px;">supermarket</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> buying more Fantales.
And yep, the big family size. Haha. And when I studied for my end of semester
exams I had bags and bags of that stuff with me. I can't even remember how many
packets I went through. So after my
exams I decided to make my own version of Fantales for The Sweet Swap. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I figured that since
the caramel themselves were already quite sweet, I should probably just coat one side with chocolate. And unlike Fantales, my caramels were actually pretty soft so I
was pretty worried about it melting with the chocolate in the mail. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">And for the sweets I
received!! During those couple of days I was really excited to coming home and finding
these lovely packages with lots of yummy sweets! I wish it would never stop and I could come home everyday to a lovely sweet surprise haha. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">

received were these cute and colourful freckle shapes from Annie from <a href="http://therandomfoodie.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">The Random Foodie</a>. Unlike Allens milk chocolate Freckles, these were bittersweet,
which tasted even better! </span><br />

</div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recipe adapted from
<a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/" target="_blank">theKitchn</a></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Makes about 50
caramels</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup thickened
cream </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">55g unsalted butter</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 tsp salt</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 cup water</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">½ tsp vanilla
extract</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tbsp liquid
glucose </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 ½ cup sugar</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cooking milk
chocolate</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Method:</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Line a baking dish
with baking paper and spray the sides with nonstick cooking spray. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the salt,
butter and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts and then
take it off the heat. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a larger saucepan
(the sugar will bubble up to three times its size) combine the liquid glucose,
water and sugar. Using a dampened pastry brush, brush down the sides of the
saucepan so there are no sugar crystals. Without stirring, bring
it to a boil over medium heat.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it reaches
around 125C the syrup will darken to a light caramel colour. Whisk in the
butter and cream mixture (make sure that you do not stop whisking). This is
when the sugar bubbles up vigorously and grows about three times in size. When
all the mixture is added in, stop whisking and let it boil again (without
stirring). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let it boil to about 120C and then turn off the heat. Quickly whisk
in the vanilla extract. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pour the caramel
into your prepared baking dish and place it on an even surface. Let the caramel
set which can take from three hours or even overnight. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the caramels
have set, take it out of the dish and onto the chopping board. Using a sharp
knife, cut the caramel into any shape or size you like. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the caramels
onto the baking paper. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the microwave or a double boiler, melt the cooking
milk chocolate. Coat one side of the caramel with the chocolate and allow for
the chocolate to harden. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wrap each caramel in baking paper. If the caramels
are still soft, place them in the fridge for a bit longer before eating. Enjoy!

first heard about Copo Café and Diner in Drummoyne, I really wanted to try it
out! It seemed like the perfect place for a lazy breakfast on a warm Sunday
morning. It was a quick drive to Drummoyne and included a right turn at a no
right turn sign (that is of course following the car in front of us haha). The
café is located on Victoria Road but the entrance is on the street behind it,
Formosa Street.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">When we arrived
there wasn't a queue and we got a table straight away. There are two storeys - indoor downstairs and an upstairs outdoor terrace. We sat
upstairs which was really nice and warm under the sun. We ordered a few burgers
and some breakfast food among the six of us and it was all very delicious! I
really enjoyed the food and will definitely come back to try the rest of the
menu. There was a lot to choose from on the menu and they all sound soo good!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">On a cold wet and
rainy Sunday we were around the area and decided to eat at Fouratefve in
Surry Hills. I have to admit I love the name - Fouratefive being on
485 Crown Street, such a witty name haha. We (with mum and the sister) got
there at around twelve thirty and there was a queue. We were a few down in the
line and was told it was going to be about half an hour's wait seeing that a
couple of groups above us probably left already. We decided to wait and it was
about a bit over half an hour before getting seats inside. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started off with
an <b>apple-pineapple-mint juice</b>, an <b>orange-pineapple-passionfruit juice</b>, both
being $5.50 each and a <b>chocolate deluxe shake</b> ($6.00). I had the OPP juice and
it was nice and sweet but the only thing is that the juice wasn't cold when it arrived.
And even with the ice, it didn't really get any colder. Even though it's wet
and cold outside, I do love a cold juice haha.</span></div>

were mixed berry pancakes with ricotta and eggs benedict on croissant. We went
for the <b>eggs benny with extra haloumi</b>, <b>poached eggs with mushrooms and potato
and fennel hash </b>($15.50) and also <b>kumera chips with aioli</b> ($6.00). </span></div>

the kumera chips and the hand cut chips with sea salt and rosemary and boy did
they smell gooood! We wanted to order both but we knew we couldn't finish it so
we went for the kumera chips. And we definitely went for the right one cause

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Continuing from the
previous post, this one's all about the food from the wedding. Or
to be more specific, the desserts! P: </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">we (me and my sister) baked for many many
hours (till four in the morning of the wedding) and had only two hours of sleep
but it was worth it. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Ours definitely did not look as good as those
you see around Pinterest but we were pretty happy with it. :D</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The only thing I
didn't think about was the amount of time the table was going to sit there
untouched. Answer: a long long time. Long enough that the caramelised sugar on the brulee
tartlets melted :( and since majority of the desserts were supposed to be
chilled until serving time, they warmed up to room temperature :(</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The wedding
reception was decorated in blue and so we tried to keep
colour minimal and only to white and shades of blue. We wanted to keep it
simple and didn't have many decoration. We only had a couple of small bird
cages with flower petals, a polaroid money box, blue and some white pom poms
and some baby's breath (I love love these flowers, they're simple and pretty!). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">One down, two more
to go. That first semester went by so fast I don't even know where it went. And
now it's time for exams. How fun! (that is with sarcasm haha) and plus what is
the course outliner person thinking when they plan our exams? To make them during this first week of stuvac? Is it even possible to have exams during this
time they give us to be studying? :( but hey, at
least I got one out of the way in this first week.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Anyways a month ago I
went my aunty's wedding! I haven't been to a wedding
in agesss (this means years) and if you don't know already, I have a thing for
them. Haha attending weddings, reading about them, looking at wedding photographs,
everything! Hehe</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">For the wedding, my
sister and I made a dessert table as a gift. We started planning quite early and hunted everywhere for decorations and stands to put on it. The day before the wedding,
we baked non-stop until four in the morning and woke up two hours later to
get ready. It was harder to wake up that morning than trying to bake for hours
and hours. But after rushing, finishing it up and getting ready at the same time, decorating and final touches, we did it! And it was
indeed a lot of fun and worth every minute of it. Considering it was the first
"big" thing we did together, I think we were pretty happy with
ourselves. It was a nice and simple dessert table for the guests to enjoy. And most importantly, the bride and groom and their guests liked it.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to Sandra at
<a href="http://www.simplypeachy.com/" target="_blank">Simply Peachy</a>, I was the lucky winner who won two complementary passes to
Confetti Fair held on Sunday 5th May at Mosman. I've always been madly in love with wedding blogs and ideas (all the proof is on pinterest haha) and this event sounded like something I must go and have a look. And although I won't be planning my wedding anytime soon, it's never too early to get inspired and start dreaming about <i>the day</i> right? haha </span></div>

for it, I nearly missed Le Monde and was about to eat at <a href="http://fishplace.net.au/" target="_blank">Fish Place</a> again.
And even though I've been there a couple of times, I'll be more than happy to
eat at the fish place anytime - it's yum-may! </span><br />

unplanned free butter chicken at uni, I wasn't going to get something big but
somehow ended up going for the <b>potato rosti with bacon, sauteed spinach,
poached egg and hollandaise sauce ($16)</b> on their breakfast board. Not such a
good idea especially for someone who lost their voice earlier that morning and
it probably explains why my voice was still funny the next week days haha. But
it was worth it, especially that deliciously crunchy rosti and all the poached
egg drizzling down that stack of heaven :D did I mention that it was sprinkled
with pistachios on top ;)</span></div>

long weekend guys! What makes this long weekend even better is that I'm on my
mid-sem break! Yayers! It's only been like four weeks at uni and we're already
on holidays :D but I have so much to catch up on and I'm so not looking forward
to the rest of this semester; assignment exam assignment exam and more exams
pretty much sums it all up. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I've been busy
catching up with friends, spending time with family and working this long
weekend that I didn't go anywhere, so here's a place I went to last week. After
we dropped the younger sister to chinese school at Ashfield, the big sister and I
began our hunt for a place to have some Sunday brunch. And Summer Hill was the
perfect place, only a couple of minutes drive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To begin, we both had
an <b>ice coffee ($6)</b> - it was quite hot that day so instead of our one latte and one
ice coffee, I opted for an ice coffee too. And I loved it! Instead of having a
scoop of vanilla ice cream with the espresso and milk, it was pistachio ice
cream! My favourite :D and it wasn’t some ice cream with pistachio flavouring, it had the
nut in it! Yummm! It was definitely a surprise and a nice one too! But for
those crazy people who don’t like pistachio ice cream, you'll probably have to
go with something else. </span></div>

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The menu looked so
good and having a sweet tooth that day, I had trouble choosing between the
french toast with sour cherries and mascarpone or the <b>buttermilk pancakes with
seasonal fruits (nectarines and strawberries), cream and maple syrup</b>. That
problem was solved when I finally decided on the french toast but they didn’t
have any left :( so I had to go with the pancakes. They pancakes were soft and
fluffy, though I think I would of rather the french toast. I will be back for
them. :D</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With
more than thirty years of experience in pastry making, Hong Kong patisserie
Tony Wong is undoubtedly someone who inspires me. I've watched every episode of
Mr Sweet (甜心先生), a Hong Kong cooking show, that featured him where
he demonstrated a couple of recipes. I watched the videos over and over again
to get his recipes (I couldn’t find any written copy of his recipes) and even
tried making them. I've made his honey and lemon cupcakes, green tea fraisier cake and his croquembouche. Unlike his other cakes featured in his shop, these
were quite simple and didn’t have as much detail and components as the
others. </span></div>

I have to admit his
cakes were quite pricey seeing that we spent a couple hundred HKD on a couple
slices of cake, but it was definitely worth the visit. Unlike <a href="http://softnstiffpeaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/simply-cakes-simply-beautiful-simplylife_27.html" target="_blank">Simplylife</a> where
all the cakes were the same price, these cakes varies in prices and are assembled
individually. Tony Wong's cakes are very detailed with many components in each
cake, making all of them unique. From what I remember, the cakes that we had
were about $42.00 HKD each, which is around $5.30. </span></div>

it was a passionfruit one? The mango napoleon was surely a stand out - fresh
pieces of mango, crispy flaky pastry and a good amount of pastry cream. </span></div>

during lunchtime on a Wednesday and it was nearly filled - note that it is
quite a large restaurant t have it nearly filled does mean there was quite some
people there. Also, from experience, it's usually packed on Friday and Saturday

<b>garlic crust</b> ($15) - something we get all the time. Sprinkled crispy diced
pieces of garlic on a lovely base, boy do I love garlic. The garlic crust was already quite filling
(in the end we still couldn’t finish the garlic crust!) so we decided to get
only one pasta, the <b>spaghetti aglio e olio </b>with extra virgin olive oil,
garlic, chilli, parsley and parmesan </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">($16)</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. The punch of
garlic in this pasta was also very nice, however at the bottom of the dish was
a puddle of oil which drown the spaghetti. </span></div>

Surry Hills. Their café in Ashfield is definitely worth going - I loved their
food, coffee, the atmosphere and especially their aprons and the green they
used! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went down there on
the Sunday morning just before uni started. Yeeeep, after four long months of
holidays, I've just started my first year at uni! Can't believe where all the
time went :s and I've just finished my first week of uni and I made it through!
Yay :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to Excelsior
Jones, I went again last Sunday (yep, for the last two sundays - shows how much
I love the salmon hash!). The first time, we had the <b>eggs benedict </b>(with smoky
black forest gypsy ham), <b>house-cured salmon hash</b> (with buckwheat topped with a
poached egg and fresh herbs), ice coffee and a latte (from their own custom
blend of Five Senses coffee). The salmon hash is to die for although I think on
my next visit, I should try the pork hash.
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second time, mum
came along and the salmon hash was a must for her to try and me to eat more of
:D We also tried the <b>bacon and egg sandwich </b>($10) (with capsicum relish, rocket and
aioli) and <b>sautéed field mushrooms on toast</b> ($14). </span></div>

<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is nothing that
can make my dad happier then a 10kg box of pears for FIVE dollars. Five
dollars.. "it barely pays for the freight and packaging!" and these
pears were even individually wrapped! </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apart from being ripe
and soft, which is exactly what I dislike about pears haha, these were perfect
for baking with. And so I made pear frangipane tartlets and even my own tart
base from scratch. :D I didn't have a food processor and using a stand mixer
was fine. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the first batch
of pear tarts in the oven, I changed my mind and went for some apples too. I
love apple frangipane tarts! And I have to admit, I did prefer the apple tart
over the pear. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With so much pear
left over I also tried making a pear sorbet just like Tetsuya's one. Tetsuya's
is a three hat restaurant in Sydney owned by one of the world's top chef,
Tetsuya Wakuda. Mum and dad went to have their 20th wedding anniversary dinner
there and one of the highlights for them was the pear sorbet. It was snow
white! Which was something I couldn’t get the pears to stay like since they
kept on browning. Looks like I'm going to have to wait for another pear sale to
try it again! Lol. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Method:</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make
the pastry, place the flour, salt, icing sugar, butter and vanilla seeds in the
bowl of a stand mixer and mix until it form breadcrumbs. With the motor
running, add the egg yolks and water, mixing until the dough forms a ball.
Remove from the mixer and divide into 8 even balls of dough. Flatten each to a
disc and wrap separately in cling film. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat
the oven to 200C.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beat the
butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the egg with the vanilla, beat well
and scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the almond meal and
cinnamon, beat until just combined.</span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grease and
flour 8 removable base tart tins. Roll the pastry into 8 rounds on a lightly
floured surface and press into the tins, remove excess with a sharp knife.
Divide the frangipane among the tart cases. Fan the pears and apples by cutting
slices a few mm apart, but leaving joined together at the top of the pears,
press lightly to fan and place on top of the frangipane. Sprinkle with ground
cinnamon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For the past few </span><span style="font-size: 14.545454025268555px;">Australia</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> days the family would have a barbeque in the back year aand this year we
gave it a pass and went for homemade dumplings and shallot pancakes. However I
couldn’t go without baking something and what can be
better than using my favourite childhood drink - milo! :D when I came across this milo
banana muffin recipe from </span><a href="http://createeathappy.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/how-to-make-milo-banana-muffins-video.html" style="font-size: 11pt;" target="_blank">Ochikeron</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> a few weeks earlier, I knew straight

milo cheesecake and I wanted to make that straight away too! I went for the muffin
since there were bananas at home, but will </span><span style="font-size: 14.545454025268555px;">definitely</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> make the milo cheesecake!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">100g unsalted butter,
softened to room temperature</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">100g sugar</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 eggs, room
temperature</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">150ml milk, room
temperature</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">200g plain flour</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">60g nestle milo</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 tsp baking powder</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 bananas </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Method:</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Preheat the oven to
180 degrees C. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Slice the banana into 8 half-inch-thick rounds. Mash the
remaining bananas with a fork.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Cream the butter
and sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and mix well.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">4. Sift in half the
flour, baking powder, milo and mix
well. Slowly add in the milk, mixing well to combine. Add the rest of the dry
ingredients and mix until </span><span style="font-size: 14.545454025268555px;">incorporated.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Note that the butter and milk will separate if
you add the milk right after the eggs or when the ingredients are too cold. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Add the mashed
banana into the mixture and mix well. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Spoon the mixture into muffin cups until a bit more than 3/4 full (you can use a pastry bag to pipe the mixture into cups). </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Place a
slice of banana on each muffin. Bake at 180C for 25-30 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. Place them on a
wire rack to cool and serve warm.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This
is definitely a must-go to place if you're visiting Guangzhou or Hong kong. I
went to the one in Guangzhou and it was absolutely amazing! The cakes looked and tasted beautiful. We had the <b>banana tart</b>,<b> chocolate truffle cake</b>
and a slice of <b>lemon meringue tart</b>. Each slice was 35 yuan which is about $5.50.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
banana tart was a winner for me! Though the lemon meringue tart was definitely a
surprise - I was never a fan of the lemon tart because of the sourness of the lemon, but this was different. Instead of having all the lemon flavour from the lemon
curd, there was less in the curd and some lemon extract in the meringue! That
was the first time I've seen it being made and it's such smart idea!</span></div>

having just finished my hsc, i see no reason why i shouldn't start a blog (something i've always wanted to do but pushed aside because of the hsc).<br />
<br />
it'll be a place where i share my passion for baking and photography - baking and photography, it makes my world go around.<br />
<br />
