Kuching Laksa

A bowl of Kuching Laksa that I ordered from Maxim Restaurant, Bandaran Berjaya in Kota Kinabalu, as breakfast this morning. I have no complaint on the taste, the prawns are fresh and tender. This is the first time we patronize this restaurant, it is a very comfortable place to have meals there.

If I am not mistaken this restaurant is also managed by the hotel operator at the same building thus the set up are of certain standard, the toilets are very clean too.

We also ordered this kon lou mein with seafood, stuffed chillie and eggplant, there are many others to choose from. The food pricing are reasonably.

The only lacking is this restaurant is, it does not sell can drinks like soya milk and chrysanthemum tea. Will sure come back to try on other food from this restaurant again!

Weekend snack - butter cake

a loaf of 11 slices of butter cake, not enough for my family to share, have to make 2 loaves next time.

the texture of the butter cake is not as moist, need to make changes on the recipe.

Moist Chocolate cake

Green Tea Chiffon Cake

It's weekend again. Only weekends or public holiday I have got the chance to do some baking. I decided to try on the green tea powder (matcha) that I bought from Cosway a couple of weeks ago.

I reduced the use of green tea powder to 1/3 from the recipe that I found from the internet simply for my kids, they are not used to having tea, by having the full dose of 3 Tbsp of green tea powder would be too much for them to enjoy this cake.

The cake turned out to be brownish in colour rather than green as expected. But I am satisfied with its texture, moist and spongy, with mild green tea flavour. I love it.
