Orange Cheesecake in Glass

In the last entry, I made the blueberry cheesecake brulee pot following strictly to the recipe. And now that I know how to work about this desserts, I made an orange version on my own.

It's even simpler as orange needs no cooking in the pot =)

Blueberry Cheesecake Brulee Pots

Now that the Wedding Trilogy was over, I'm back to my routine life. And to my surprise, I'm kinda glad to back to routine for the first time for my life.

There's a dessert recipe in the food magazine I bought that I've been wanting to try. I didn't have any programme on Friday evening, so I've got all the groceries needed and start working on it!

The desserts I made didn't seem as nice as the one in the magazine. First of all, I've got the wrong pot! These glasses are too high. In addition to that, I do not have blue torch, I could not caramelized the brown sugar on top. But still, I think they taste good.

However, too bad the Man didn't think so. The Man is not a cheese person, he thinks it's way too sour for him. So I have to add some honey on top for dressing before I served to him. To our disappointment, he still thinks it's sour! But oh well, he's a nice Man, he still finished them :)

I guess I'll make peach flavour in the future, berries are too sour. I hope this substitution will satisfy the man? Hopefully! =)

The recipe is available online, please refer to the here.

当我们同在一起

这一伙人,是我的童年玩伴。

我的童年,在我有记忆以来,我们常常一起在外婆家把外婆家闹翻天。记忆里,当时外婆对我们还是很有忍耐力,任我们跑上跑下。偶尔责骂几句,我们还不是一样在奔。

我们之间的年龄差距很大,从三张没得找到两张不到。可是说来奇怪,我们好似不知道隔膜为何物,一伙人出门热热闹闹。

长大了,我们都不在槟城居多,不过,有机会我们还是会聚在一起闹。这种机会越来越少,异常珍惜 :)

I love you all :)

Christmas Eve at DB Bistro Moderne

I love Christmas. I love the beautiful magical decorations, I love the Christmas songs, I love it's holiday seasons, I love it's time we close the year.

Last year, the Man proposed to me at the rainy Christmas Eve night. We had a long day at Botanic Garden and movies before the dinner. We didn't have any reservation, but we ended in Cut in Marina Bay Sands. Not bad a dinner at all!!

This year, I wanted to make sure we have a good table for dinner, I kinda forced the Man to make a reservation at DB Bistro, still, in Marina Bay Sands. To celebrate the fact that we closed the year fine =)

So, here are what we ordered.

Complementary bread basket (I love their bread)

Appetizer: Escargots Persillade (Wild Burgundy Snails with Garlic & Parsley Butter,  French Baguette)

Photobucket

Christmas Menu: Scallop Black Tie (Scallop with black truffles) This is supposed to be an appertizer, but I had this as main

Photobucket

Main: New Orléans Casserole (Mussels, Clams, Pork Sausage, Bluefoot Mushrooms, White Wine, Garlic Fries)

Desserts: CHOCOLATE FONDANT (Crispy feuilletine, Tonka Ice Cream)

All in all, we love the food. We think the ingredients were fresh. The clams and mussels tasted fantastic to be stewed in wine. The scallop was fresh and this is the first time I tasted black truffles. But, the chocolate fondant was a bit disappointing. I think the one I had during our Europe trip was much better. Anyway, we're still happy with the dinner =)

The bill definitely didn't come cheap, but we expected that for a fine dining experience. Once a year, I guess that wasn't too bad. I was planning to pay the bill this year, to celebrate my good year. But because I got the Man a Christmas gift, he decided to pay it. Hohoho!~

Last but not least, wish all of you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! If you're not having a great year this year, don't worry, you're going to have a good one next year! Plan ahead and hope for the best! If you're having a great year, you're going to have a better one!

*Sorry for the low quality of the pictures, the restaurant was very dark and I had to turn on the ISO very high.

Toast Bread with Chickpea Salad

Since the dinner last night, I think I got myself hooked on to the chickpea salad. So, I made the same salad for my breakfast again. However, minus the sauce from frying the leftover chicken, the salad wasn't as good as last night. But at least, healthier.
