BAKING BINGE : UNE

 Yep, post title explains it all.
 I don't know when did it start, but it's getting out of hand cos I have officially gained 1kg.
Ah well... I can always lose that kilogram. Problem is that it shows on my face! God.

All these happened in the past month. MONTH. You'll be shocked.

Except for this chicken pot pie, which I made for our 18th month haha.
 This unassuming, boring-looking sheet of dough is the super gorgeous & light puff pastry.

 HAHA I know this is a very grandma thing to do but I didn't wanna throw away the scraps.
 & you know what? I forgot to add in the chicken chunks while cooking the filling. AISHHH...

Since I'm on the topic of domestic cuisine hahaha, here's mummy's award-winning yong tau fu soup!
 Damn best and healthy!

& I made apple pie later that night.
Told you I was on a baking binge.
 It's a lion HAHA.
 One of the many reasons why I love baking.
 You can never imagine the gratification while cutting through an apple pie.
 Check out the uber flaky crust that I freaking made from scratch!!!
 Mmmm crumbleh! Crazy batshit good but it's waaay too much work.



Then, it was the "Incredibly Moist Chocolate Cake".
I just had to try out that recipe because it uses prune puree as a moisture and thickening agent!
No, it doesn't taste of prunes. Bf doesn't eat prunes and he loves this cake!
 I LIKE MY STRAWBIE BOWL EHEHE, got it for 2bucks!
 HAHA I KNOW WHAT THIS PRUNE PUREE LOOKS LIKE.
 & another reason for making chocolate cake is my Varlhona dutch-process cocoa powder.
It's my ultra decadent black gold dust.
 & this was the ultra decadent end product. With fresh korean strawbies and macademia nut crunch ice cream.
The recipe really wasn't kidding!
This cake is seriously, SERIOUSLY incredibly moist even though I added in 2 more tablespoons of cocoa powder, and I haven't eaten anything like this in any cafes or patisseries. Plus it uses prunes and not melted chocolate, so it's not that calorific.

Okay there are waay too many recipes so I'm gonna split this post up!
