Thursday, February 18, 2010 Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel - Feast & East Buffet  Cereal Prawns  Stir Fried LaLa Clams  Fried Yam Rice  Chicken Cooked in Red Vinegar  Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Soup with Button Mushrooms)  Fresh Oysters with lots of Tobasco Sauce  Not Forgetting my bowl of Laksa.......Yummilicious!  Definitely enjoying my bowl of Laksa!  Roast Crispy Pig's Head?  Marinated Baby Octopus  Varieties of Char Siew, Crispy Roast Pork  I simply love this - Roast Combination (Duck & Pork, look at the crispy skin)  Mussels  Fish Maw Soup  Cold Crabs, Geoduck  Prawns  Homemade Ngoh Hiang  Desserts - Selections of Ice Creams  Fondue Platter of Fruits A Traditional Must Haves - Nian Gao (sticky glutinous rice cake) Shiok - another yummy delight - Durian Mousse Remember the good ole days of "salted preserves" Kachang Puteh My family decided to feast on buffets this year.........instead of having the traditional steamboat, I suggested we try the Grand Mercure's Feast & East Buffet. The buffet spreads are plentiful with lots of local homecooked delights! Overall, I like the vast selections of local food & desserts..............freshly brewed coffee is served and Nian Gao was served in the dessert selections......its simply awesome - yam & sweet potato slices were sandwiched in between the sticky chewy Nian Gao! Have you had your Nian Gao? The Bakerwoman - Coffee Talk at 11:10 AM

Saturday, February 13, 2010 Wine & Cheese Nite by the Pool........ Pairing of wine & cheese Fine selections of cheeses (Baby Bel, Brie, Gouda, Edam, Cheddar, Port Salut & Danish Blue) Relaxing by the pool..........Attended my first wine & cheese nite @ Changi............I love the ambience of the Civil Service Clubhouse because the pool view is beautifully facing Changi Beach. It was a breezy and lovely day for pairing wine & cheese nite! I've learnt that sweet/dessert wines go with pungent blue cheeses....it may sound odd, but try it!!! Overall - It is also a great way to gather people together in a fun & relaxed atmosphere and looks forward to another wine session with Jeffrey Soh - Champagne with chocolates, Wine with a local zest - Laksa??? Bottoms ups! The Bakerwoman - Coffee Talk at 12:08 PM

Sugee Cookies Cookies before egg wash  Was wondering why this is named Sugee Cookies when no semolina is used.......in fact, roasted ground almond and ghee were used for the above cookies.....As I don't really like ghee - I've mixed half ghee & butter for this recipe. It turned up very well and my daughter loves the sugee cookies! The Bakerwoman - Coffee Talk at 12:06 AM

Kueh Kara Kara  This is one of my favourites for the Lunar New Year....its called Kueh Kara Kara (fragrile rice krispies)....it is made from rice flour & sugar. I've asked my grandma how this kueh was made and she explained that making this kueh is very tedious..... coconut husk was used and they had to make many tiny holes on the husk. Its something like roti jala - sugar syrup & rice flour mixture were poured to the husk. Batter was deep fried.It is very costly, as it is very difficult to make. A tub of 10 pieces cost S$10!!! Kueh Kara Kara is not easily available and perhaps you could get the kueh kara kara in Joo Chiat.
