Crème Brûlée

Published by

A and me made our very own Crème Brûlée and we were thrilled about sharing it! It was her Mommy’s recipe and it was absolutely fabulous. Her Mom bakes really well and I’m one lucky girl to be able to eat those yummy pastries and cakes every now and then at her place! :p I realised that recipe aside, skills and techniques are really important too. Our Crème Brûlée didn’t turn out to be as pretty as the one her Mom made. Boohoo! BUT STILL! We are proud of it. Hahaha. The ingredients required are 380gm of UHT milk 380gm of Millac cream 6 normal sized egg yolks 100 to 130gm of sugar (depends on how sweet you want it) Measure out the milk and cream and mix them together in a pot. Separate the egg yolks from the white and put them in a mixing bowl. The eggs we had were pretty small so we added 8 in total. Heh! Measure out your desired amount of sugar. Pour the sugar into the egg yolks …

I am a self-proclaimed movie buff. If you haven’t checked out my 2 other blog entries about my favourite movies and based on true story movies, you are in luck because that would mean you will have 3 new blog entries to read today! I just watched Drive starring Ryan Gosling yesterday night. It took me a while to understand why it was voted the best movie from 2011. But after discussing with A, we both agreed that the movie was tastefully done, and the development of the plot was smooth and comfortable. Seeing Ryan Gosling’s buff physique packed under his thin white tee was cool too. Haha! My hands are itching again to share another ten movies that I think everyone should watch at least once in their lives. In no particular order of credit, here are the ten awesome movies that I think you might love! ONE Memento is one movie that really blew me off my chair. Made in 2000, this movie is actually shown backwards. Although this show is all about …

YES I permed my hair again! I am loving this new perm. It was more than a year ago when I last had a perm. Back then, my friends would call me Cupid because of the damn hair. HAHAHA! Some said I look like some random Korean boy band boys. HECK IT. I think I love it! I cut off those curls about few months after I permed, but this time round, I am determined to keep the curls for at least another 2 to 3 haircuts! As if like an addiction, A and I checked out another cafe. This time round, it was at Yong Siak Street and I knew of this place through a couple forums and through Ladyironchef! It is quite a small place and I think food is rather overpriced. Nevertheless, quite a nice place and I think my Black Truffles Mushroom sandwich was awesome. Coffee was good too. I never knew Yong Siak Street is such a happening place. SO many cute stuff here, I really love the place! Food …

Papa Palheta

I think I am addicted to checking out new cafes and pretty chill-out places. So here is another one to add to your ‘MUST GO’ cafes! And indeed, the ‘most important drink of your day’ is probably your cuppa coffee. A’s friend brought us to this cute little cafe couple days back and we were blown away! Tucked in a little corner along Bukit Timah Road, it’s like a breath of fresh air the moment you lay eyes on this place. It is quite hidden so it’s not visible from the main roads, but hey, that also means that it’s quieter and more peaceful in here! This place has a strange aura that makes it really welcoming. The people round here are all really friendly and smiley! According to A, a seasoned coffee drinker, the coffee served here are really good. From what I gathered, the coffee beans used at Papa Palheta are all roasted right there in the cafe! There is a special room where all the roasting takes place. The roasting takes place …

The Coastal Settlement

I don’t know about you, but I am one of those few Singaporeans who are quite not-cool when it comes to being informed about the new hip cafes or restaurants in town. Most of the time, I’m normally the one being brought around to check out new places. And I wish to change that! Hahaha. I visited two new places, one was recommended by an Instagram follower and the other was recommended by a friend. Absolutely loved this two new places because I’m such a big sucker for cute decor. Hope you will like them too! When I first heard that it is ALL the way in the East at Loyang area, I was quite turned off. But I guess being far away from the bustling city makes this place more attractive! I liked the place the moment I saw it. Quiet, quaint and the decor is pretty but not over the top. A lot of greens and Beetles all over the outdoor dining area. But once you set foot into the restaurant itself, it’s …

je ne change qu’en mourant

It means I will only change by dying. I got a new tattoo, folks! This time round, it was a new one on the wrist and I’m loving how it looks! Malvin from Primitive Arts at Far East Plaza did it for me. I think there is still some touching up that needs to be done. Shall wait for 3 weeks before I head back to fix it. These were some of the fonts I considered before getting the tattoo. Wanted to pick the 4th font, but the artist said that the tattoo needs to be much bigger to be able to show all the details. So, nope. Bleah. So I picked the 3rd font instead. This motto (or rather, phrase) came with the necklace A and I bought together. I love how the phrase sounded and meant. The tattoo artist tattooed the “q” as a “g”. Faints. Need to go back after 3 weeks to alter that part. Bleah! Other than that, I really love the new ink On a sidenote, I think my …

Time flies. It has been almost 2 years since I’ve joined Nuffnang and it has been really nice so far. I’ve met many other people who have such “atypical” jobs like me, and many other awesome young people too! I attended Nuffnang’s 5th Birthday Bash at Swissotel yesterday and I was blown away by the 60 bloggers there. So many bloggers leh! Hahaha. I think I was among the most shabbily dressed last night. Hahaha! I picked my most comfortable pullover because I’m sure it would keep me warm in the cold hotel room. *big grin* I met Yina and Brad for the first time yesterday and they were all really friendly! It’s sometimes really odd because you already know them virtually and the first instance when you meet them in person, it’s a super odd feeling. Heh! I was on the same table with Yina, Zoe, Nadia, Yutaki, Esther, Noel and other bloggers. Had my best friend on the table too – BEER! Hahahaha. I’m such an addict. There were some awesome programmes lined …

LINES ON A SEAL “Je ne change, qu’en mourant.” The Poetical Writings of the Right Rev. George Washington Doane, D.D., LL.D. In bower and garden, rich and rare, There’s many a cherished flower, Whose beauty fades, whose fragrance flits, Within the flitting hour. Not so the simple forest leaf, Unprized, unnoted lying, The same, thro’ all its little life, It changes, but in dying. Be such, and only such, my friend, Once mine, and mine for ever: And here’s a hand, to clasp in thine, That shall desert thee, never. And thou, be such, my gentle love, Time, chance, the world, defying; And take, ’tis all I have, a heart, That changes, but in dying.

Let’s Shine!

I think I have just been introduced to the best beauty and health supplement drink! I believe many of you are familiar with BRAND’S® Chicken Essence and InnerShine® Berry Essence, but have you tried their latest InnerShine® Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract yet? In today’s fast paced society, it’s common that most of us would usually have our makeup on for the entire day. It is also easy to be carried away by the many distractions in our lives that we neglect the importance of caring for our skin and health. I believe when I said “caring for our skin”, the first thing that comes to mind would be the bottles after bottles of skincare products. Moisturizers, serums, toners, primers, the list goes on. But do you know that the best way of encouraging good skin health starts from within? I am loving this new product from BRAND’S® called InnerShine® Berry Essence with Grape Seed Extract because it is so incredibly yummy! Other than its tastiness, it is also packed with Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes …
