Steamed Sweet Glutinous Rice Cake Recipe (Lian Gao)

Stephanie — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 23:41:11 +0000

Growing up, I had so many fond memories of eating sweet glutinous rice cake (lian gao) during Chinese New Year. When we went to visit my Grandma, she would steam rice cake for us as she knew how much my siblings and I loved it, and we would gobble it up while it was soft and chewy. We would also buy rice cakes from our local Asian grocery stores – these were usually hard, and we could cut them…

Baked Sweet Glutinous Rice Cake Recipe (Lian Gao)

Stephanie — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 04:22:18 +0000

Growing up, I always looked forward to having sweet rice cake or lian gao/nian gao for Chinese New Year! I loved all chewy glutinous Asian desserts such as mochi, tong yuen and tapioca, and sweet rice cake was no exception! Typically we would buy pre-made rice cake at the store and pan fry it after dipping it in egg. My grandma knew how to make the steamed version from scratch…

Chinese Milk Tea

I’m not a big coffee drinker, but I do love my tea….particularly Milk Tea! When we visit Hong Kong-style cafes or bubble tea establishments, one of the drinks I always like to try is their milk tea. We started making our own milk tea at home and I thought I would blog about it because it tastes soo good! It’s very creamy and soothing, and it’s a great way to start off the morning with a muffin…

I wanted to share about this birthday cake that Ryan and I made for my sister recently! My sister loves home cooking and my baked goods, so it was our pleasure baking a cake to help her celebrate! I love trying out new recipes and I turned to one of my favourite baking sites, Bakerella, to see what cake recipes she had. When I stumbled upon her “Red Velvet Cake”, I knew I had to give it a try…

It’s been a while since I did a food-related post! We recently discovered the best mango pudding recipe EVER and I had to share it with you all! It’s from my friend Irene’s blog and it’s her mom’s “secret” recipe. It tastes better than the mango pudding that you can get from dim sum restaurants and it was a huge hit over the weekend at our church luncheon when I made it! It’s delicious served…

Lychee Frozen Yogurt Recipe

admin — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:35:56 +0000

With the heat of the summer upon us, it’s the perfect time for ice cream and frozen yogurt! Last year, I blogged about our frozen yogurt recipe here and how wonderful it is being able to make our own frozen yogurt whenever we want with our Kitchen Aid ice cream maker attachment. We wanted to experiment with some different flavours, so we tried making a lychee frozen yogurt since lychee is so…

We’ve been absolutely loving this recipe for Fluffy Pancakes when we feel like whipping some up for breakfast, especially on a lazy weekend. Who would’ve known that souring milk with vinegar was a substitute for buttermilk? This is one of our favourite recipes since the pancakes turn out so very tall, fluffy, and delicious. Growing up, we used to make pancakes from those boxed pancake mixes…

Best. Chocolate Chip Cookies. Ever. As you know, I love baking, so I’m always on the hunt for new recipes. You must try out this recipe by Alice of Savory Sweet Life. The cookies turned out so moist, chewy and delicious, and everyone loved them! Some people even commented that they tasted like the scrumptious cookies from “Cookies by George”. To prevent the cookies from coming out flat…

Layered Finger Jello Recipe

admin — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 15:38:43 +0000

When I was a little girl, I remember always making a beeline for the jello if it was being served at potlucks or family dinners. I particularly liked layered jello that was firm enough to be held in your hand (finger jello) compared to the jello eaten from a cup/bowl with a spoon. My aunt was kind enough to give me the recipe she used since she knew how much I loved it! These continue to be a…

I love discovering new blogs whether they’re crochet, fashion, craft, baking or food-related. As soon as I found Alice’s “Savory Sweet Life”, I scoured her site and found so many delicious recipes I wanted to try. I love Alice’s writing style and beautiful, crisp photos. Alice is a busy mom of three who started her blog as a creative outlet and an expression of all that she loves: food…
