New Twist


Notice the drastic difference in the cupcakes?The one on the right is the buttery nutella cupcakes which leaves behind a lingering pleasing aroma after biting into it.Rich,intense mouthfeel that makes my lao gong wanting one after another,and not willing to share...Haha...


On the left is a modified version of the same nutella cupcakes,made without butter,milk or eggs.It is more dense,not crumbly,sticky to the touch.When bite into it,it taste very much like "far gao",the colourful steamed sponge cakes commonly found in pasar malam.However,I do like it as it does not make me feel that guilty after all...But then again.indulge too much and I am back to square one...hmmm...

This is something similar to what I am doing,very often kids will have to come up with a modified version of the recipe handed to them,they have to either increase the nutritive value or lessen the amount of seasonings.This can be challenging to the kids as not only must the dishes be nutritive,the sensory factor from the mouthfeel to the aroma is not to be neglected,sounds fun?Recently,the kids have come up with strawberry ondeh ondeh,made from fresh strawberries and of coz,without artifical flavourings or colourings.Anyone keen to try?hehe...
