Matcha Brownies
In preparation for visiting the best place on Earth (you guessed it – Japan), I am warming up my taste buds by exposing them to an overdose of matcha in the hope that I graduate into a Matcha Snob after my trip in 3 weeks. Fellow acquaintances would refer to me as Sensei Sue. NO, it will be SenSue. (Wait, this isn’t my first time revealing my name right? Did I just blow my mysterious cover? LOL #fail #Ican’tbegossipgirl) To be honest, besides the obvious reason that Matcha = Love, I am also trying to finish up the remaining powder in my cabinet. Matcha is so expensive because its marginal…

Double Chocolate Cookies
I remember the very first time I had a cookie from Ben’s. It was lightly drizzling as we walked along Oxford street – I believe it was only my second time roaming around London streets then.. (who’d knew this bustling city would be where I call home now!) My brother bought some Ben’s 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 I’ve…

Fudge-tastic Brownies
I still remember the first cake that I ever baked – it was for mum’s birthday. The 12-year-old me really wanted to give something better than just another birthday card, but I had no experience in the kitchen then. I decided to try baking and made my very first cake – a simple pineapple cake (not brownies). It was literally just a butter cake with pineapple slices, baked on the bottom but inverted while served. The result was not perfect, but it was definitely a memorable one… Especially because my mother likes Pumpkins, not Pineapples… My mistake! 🙂 With that being said, the next 5 times I was in a…

X’mas Special: Triple Chocolate Mousse (“Moose”) Cake
Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la! In lieu of the festive season, I have prepared a special recipe perfect for any Christmas celebration – Triple Chocolate “Moose” Cake! 🦌 Christmas has always been my absolute favourite holiday. I love hosting dinner parties and putting in lots of effort into food preparation. Last Christmas I had a lot of fun making this dessert. It put a smile on my face while decorating them and it made my friends laugh at the silly pun too (please tell me you get it?). Though to be honest, I don’t actually understand the connection between Christmas and…

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Hi peeps! I am very excited to be able to finally share my classic chocolate chip cookies recipe with you. I have experimented with many test batches and received many heartwarming compliments, particularly those from people I have never even met! So if you are looking for a speed dial recipe, you’ve come to the right place. 😉 Now I know chocolate chip cookies should have more chocolate chips, but I replaced most of them with chocolates chunks as they give that wonderful gooey and melted chocolate effect. It is pure goodness and yet deadly sinful once in your mouth…. OOOOH! I do highly recommend chilling your cookie dough…
