Since I've never been to Italy, this is as close to gelato I am ever gonna get. Well, for now at least. Its rich, smooth and creamy and my favorite flavors are peanut butter, verona chocolate, strawberry     cheesecake, strawberry yogurt, strawberry and berry yogurt...oh my! Well I have a lot.. lets just put it at that.

I had a lot of brownies in my life but by far the one in grounded in Bristol UK was the best I've tasted so far..its the perfect balance of sweet, dark chocolate where its crunchy outside and soft almost gooey in the centre.

After having my first Krispy Kreme in the Philippines, I am now and forever and devoted Krispy Kreme worshipper where, my go to flavor is original glazed doughnut. The fluffy, soft dough is perfectly complimented by the warm glaze.

This Banoffee pie has the best biscuit crust ever!!! I tried to re-create it a few times and to my dismay I've failed in every attempt. But all is good because they have a few cafes here in Malaysia like in  Sunway Pyramid and all I have to do is stop by to get my fix

Keeping in the theme of Banoffee-ness I must say that the Banoffee sundae in KLCC is one sundae I would love  to eat everyday..I mean it has banana..so guess its healthy?

5

Serai has one of the most decadent banana fritters..It costs a lot just for "pisang goreng" but let me tell you its worth it..well once in a while. It's located in Subang Empire mall

This is the best PUTU PIRING in the whole entire universe. I would travel to Malacca every weekend just for this and I'm sorry if you've never tried this before, you have not really experienced life. 

 With the warm rice flour and gooey gula malacca you can't go wrong.THE BEST!

The Golden Hind in London is famous for their fish and chips and to be honest I've tasted better but what came as a big surprise for me was their dessert. Their bread pudding was to die for and the custard over it was amaze-ze-zing! an absolutely proper English dessert and I would definitely be going back just for that.

The best childhood dessert that I can remember to this day is Sandakan's UFO or back when my parents were young, they were called Touch Me Not Cake. This dessert is one eggy goodness.. Yum!

And now for the best dessert... that I've ever tasted in my life. Like seriously THE BEST! You have no idea. I'm not joking. Make your way to Ben's, Plan B or T forty Two and you must. I MEAN! Must try the red velvet cake

Pancake Cheese Cake?? SAY WHAT

Basically I used the same exact recipe for the pancakes the only difference is I added cream cheese 

TIP: I recommend Philadelphia cream cheese

TIP: Because I'm was on a budget; for the blueberry syrup what I did was I melt some blubbery jam and add a lil water to thin it out 

TIP: Try to use a non stick pan or otherwise add a little oil every time you add the batter to pan

TIP: If you don't have baking powder lying around the house then just separate the egg whites and  whisked till it gets frothy and fold it it with the rest of the ingredient

Viola!!

You're now as good as Nigella Lawson *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Best Chocolate Chips EVERRRRRR!!!

Ever since I could remember I was always trying to perfect my chocolate chip recipe..

Well childddd let me give you a HUGE TIP the batter doesn't matter its the chocolate chips that does..the search is over the best commercial chocolate chips are......

well I think it is 

For the cookie batter I always use this recipe and it turns out great every time! My family has never tasted a fully cooled cookie for years

Yield: 4 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter softened

11 1/2 oz chocolate chips

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

2 teaspoon vanilla

2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup walnuts or pecans chopped (optional)

Method

Heat oven to 375ºF.

Stir flour with baking soda and salt; set aside.

In large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy and lightened in color.

Add eggs and vanilla, one at a time. Mix on low speed until incorporated.

Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture. 

Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoon onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

Note: The 11 ¹/₂ ounces of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips can be substituted with any variety of chip flavor (i.e.- Milk Chocolate Chips, 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, etc.)

Amour Dulces

All right..for this recipe we'll be traveling back to my Spanish roots and we'll also 

be doing a little backpacking through Europe and visit France.

Barcelona, Spain

Paris, France

Okay this recipe is very versatile because we can make Churros which is a very traditional Spanish dessert and also the batter used, which is called Choux in France could be used to make many different French pastry like Profiteroles, Croc en Bouche, Èclairs and Chouquettes. But for this recipe will be focusing only on Churros and Chouquettes.

This is Rachel Khoo, my personal hero. I personally like her recipes because they are great and easy to do which I think is what this blog is all about and basically I used the same exact recipe for my Churros only instead of putting them in the oven, I fry them! And may I add that she's half Malaysian..bet you couldn't tell huh?!

Chouquettes

Churros

So for the Churros you'll need a piping bag, a flower nozzle, oil for frying, caster sugar and some cinnamon for sprinkling. Thats it! thats the only difference

There you have it! you managed to treat yourself and people around you
