Mini Milk Tea Chiffon Cakes
I am a huge fan of pearl milk tea, are you? I just love the chewy texture of tapioca. I know it’s usually considered a ‘bad food’ in terms of its nutrition, but I just can’t resist. This time I tried to incorporate milk tea …
Oil Free No Fry Popcorn Chicken
I used to be a big fan of KFC’s popcorn chicken (KFC’s everything actually). Those golden, crunchy bite-sized chicken pieces are delicious indeed, but too fatty and high-calorie. In addition, a study shows that KFC’s popcorn chicken only contains 66% chicken meat (Wikipedia). So I …

Earl Grey Scones
I am actually obsessed with earl grey tea-infused baked goods. I find that adding earl grey tea bags into cupcakes or cheesecakes will level up the aroma. This time I tried to incorporate earl grey tea into scones. They turn out SO good. Love the …
Dutch baby pancake
It was actually surprising to learn that Dutch baby pancakes have nothing to do with Dutch…Anyways, I really like the texture of Dutch baby pancakes: fluffy and light on the edges, dense in the middle. You can load the pancake with any fruit you like, …
