i heart u, cinnamon

Ants apparently hate cinnamon.
Cinnamon???! What's not to love.
I am so glad i'm not an ant.

Below are some snaps of this beautiful kitchen adventure... 



Tips:
*In SG heat, additional 1/4 to the original APF called for in the recipe, so that dough is not sticky.
*Flatten the dough some more, about 30 by 20 cm?
*filling should not be runny, but PASTY.
So, can make it ahead, but make sure its at room temperature, not melted.  it can be easily spread out, and will make the roll stick.
*roll TIGHTLY, yes pls follow instruction!☝️
*middle rack, 150C, top heat? then 170C last 2 mins? 

That was fun. 
Alright, round 2 next time!!
Remember, progress, not perfection.πŸ™

a feast for the eyes

Are you both a foodie and a movie buff? If so, then surely you love watching on the big screen movies that largely incorporate scrumptious food! For being such deliciously charming movies, what are your favorites? Top in my list are these two:   1.  Ratatouille (2007)  Set in France, this is the story of an unlikely friendship of a one-of-a-kind rat, Remy, and a hard up, clumsy but kind young man, Linguini; where one has an unusually refined taste for a rodent, and the other an unbeknownst inheritance.

This being a family movie that entertains the young and young once is a huge plus! 2.  Chef (2014)  This is a heartfelt and funny story of a 50-something chef in California. He is divorced and had no time for his young son. His career once started promisingly; foodies were on the lookout for his gastronomic creations. But pressure from the restaurant's prudent management, wh

Steamed eggy pie

If I've not mentioned it already, my little family is in love with chicken  πŸ”  eggs. 😍 We do not have the  e99y as our beloved padre de pamilya for no reason at all.  Omelette, sunny side up, egg sandwich, deviled eggs, scotch eggs, adobo eggs, salted eggs, egg soup, oh the list does go on!  Another of our favorite take is steamed Eggy Pie . Much-loved by my brood, this one is perfect for merienda in school and at work or right in the comfort of home.  Dessert? Easily so! Simple and delicious, this is also a no-bake recipe. Instead of oven, only a steamer  is needed. And THAT makes it an absolute keeper in my recipe list!  😎 Steamed Eggy Pie Serving size: 8-inch pan 1+1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold butter 2 tbsp sugar 3 large eggs 1 cup evaporated milk 3/4 cup condensed milk Vanilla essence Prepare the crust: 1. Mash and mix the dry ingredients below.     1 +  1/2 cup all-purpose flour     1/2 cup cold butter chopped to small cubes     2 tbsp sug
