After my medical appointment, was on the way to buy lunch at the popular Hainanese chicken rice stall, I walked pass the shop and noticed there was only one customer buying pancakes. I quickly joined the queue and was choosing the Min Chiang Kueh or Min Jiang Kueh 🥞 (面煎粿) in no time. The”kueh” part comes in three different flavours – Original, Charcoal and Green Tea. I went with the Original Black Sesame MJK (S$2.20) which featured fragrant black sesame paste and crunchy granulated sugar between airy and chewy pancakes. The Original Hazelnut MJK (S$2.20) I had was like eating crushed Ferrero Rocher chocolate, right down to the crunchy wafer bits. If I must choose one, my preference goes to the black sesame one as it was not too sweet and it tasted great on my palate too.

My first cake in my new oven is baking!!! This oven is very different than any other oven I've ever used. It has no bottom element and it has a fan. And, the cake cooked 5 minutes faster than usual. Definitely, different... It looks good and smells great so I'm very hopeful and excited to try it!! I made a carrot cake and I'm going to frost it with cream cheese frosting. I am just making a sheet cake this time because it's easier, and I love the cake to frosting ratio of a sheet cake. I'll bake a tiered cake next time I bake a cake. If this cake comes out right, I'm going to try cream puffs, next!! I love cream puffs!! 😋❤️🥕🎂🍰🙏🏼I can't wait until it cools to see if it's good so I'm going to go steal a corner of the cake. I'll be right back.... oh, my, my!!! That cake is so moist, light, and airy!! It's delicious 😋 😍 It's official... I love my new oven!!! ❤️❤️ I need another piece of that cake... time to make some frosting!!! 😁🤗🤣😋🥕🍰❤️

The oven thermometer said it was off by 50°, but the cake came out very well so I'm fine with that!!!

It's cooling, now. It looks so lonely... it needs some frosting so I'll be right back with a photo of my frosted cake... not gonna lie... I might have to eat a piece first, though😁🤣🤭😋😍🥕🍰 quality control is very important to me... so is cake!! 🥕🍰😋🤣 so I'll make the sacrifice and try a piece... it's a tough job, but someone has to do it... Petey just volunteered... 🤣🐕🤣
