Hong Kong Pai Bao ( sweet buns)


One of the most popular, typical Hong Kong sweet buns, the Pai Bao. It tastes just the same as the Asian bakeries'.  Credits to Christine's recipes !
Very fluffy and soft, moist and tasty on its own.

Taiwanese Lo Bak Go (2)


From all of the Lo Bak Go that I have made so far,  I would say this is the best.
If one follows the required ingredients suggested strictly, it would definitely deliver a very good Lo Bak Go. It all comes down to the flavour and texture. It did not fail me even without any wheat or corn starch added, very smooth texture!

                                                       2 loafs shaped in different pans.

Simple Chocolate Chiffon cake



Substituting part of the oil to applesauce worked just as good. Plain is always the best for my chiffon cake, but not my children, too bad :) Go for it if you like to top with icing!
