Quaker Golden Syrup Oatmeal Cookies
In continuation to the Oats Series, today I am sharing a new recipe to make these scrumptious looking Oatmeal Cookies! š Unlike any other oatmeal cookie recipes, this recipe specifically requires the Quakerās Golden Syrup instant oatmeal sachets. These instant oats are pre-flavoured with sweet golden syrup. Futhermore, they give a lovely honey-like smell and flavour ā it is my all-time favourite instant oatmeal among all flavours.

Miso Enoki Bacon, a.k.a. Fungi in Blankets!
As exotic as the name might sound, this delicious side dish only requires literally those few main ingredients ā Miso, Enoki mushrooms and Bacon. It all started with Christmas ā it always starts with Christmas ā Casa du Duchess prepared a dinner for twelve with some classic dishes. We had the whole turkey, Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, pigs in blanket etc. Since my boyfriend will NOT let me touch the turkey (he always gets the best dish, pfft), I was in charge of coming up with the rest. I wanted to try something different, cause pigs in blankets can be a little tooā¦. gross satiating. So I decided to switch…

Carrot Cupcakes w Cream Cheese Frosting
The Duchess has been a little quiet lately from family visits, work trips, Easter holidays, birthday celebrations and the first ever sunny weekend here in the UK ā staying at home was not an option! I know Iāve slackened off as the past month has been pretty busy and too disruptive to my normal schedule. But Iām back, and Iāve got pretty exciting news! First of all, Iāve updated Casa du Duchessā About page. It took me awhile to realise that I have not officially introduced the (real) Duchess to you guys. To your not-so-surprising surprise, no, I am not referring to myself when I mention the Duchess. And yes,…

Lemon Yogurt Cake
To be honest, I can be quite a lazy person sometimes. Iād find any excuse to procrastinate, cause that is just who I am ā a person needy for āno-quality me timeā, which requires doing absolutely nothing. Last Sunday, I was feeling super meh as I was desperate for that āme timeā and had no intentions to prepare for this weekās post. I reckoned that since my father was visiting from Malaysia, it was an excuse for me to skip doing my āhomework”. I then entered into a dilemma because I realised that I already bought all the ingredients of a lemon yogurt cake, and if I didnāt bake anything…

Double Chocolate Cookies
I remember the very first time I had a cookie from Benās. It was lightly drizzling as we walked along Oxford street – I believe it was only my second time roaming around London streets then.. (whoād knew this bustling city would be where I call home now!) My brother bought some Benās cookies for the fam bam, insisting it was the best cookie store in the world. The flavours we got were white chocolate & macadamia, triple chocolate chunk and peanut butter (yes, I still remember exactly what we ordered). The first bite into these freshly baked cookies was a surprise, the second bite was a revelation. Maybe Iāve…

HEAVENLY Green Smoothie
Itās a little difficult to be sharing this recipe because this is my own FAVOURITE green smoothie but the more you give, the richer you feel ā right? āŗ There is something quite unique about me- I have never been on a diet before. I am very thankful to have inherited genes with high metabolism from my father, which allows me to lose weight very easily. I have also inherited some good genes from him, such as my height and a hairless body. Luckily I am a girl ā you should see my brothersā hairless legs. Before you start hating me, I have a lot of (unfavourable) qualities I have…
