Chocolate Almond Bun

Original recipe was Chocolate and Hazelnut Bun. Well could not find the Hazelnut in store thus change the ingredient to almond. It has been a long time since i last made bread. Dun really have the time to wait for it to rise but since i'm on holiday,its a totally different story.

Despite having a bread maker at home, i have not use it for about 4 years.Wondering if its still working? Well i personally love to just knead the dough and well homemade bread are the best.The freshness and captivating aroma of just out of the oven bread its just simply the best.

Well for this recipe the chocolate flavouring was lacking. Guess i should have used another brand of cocoa powder and added more chocolate buttons in it but i like the crunch of the almonds in each bite.

Its a great teatime snack beside breakfast.Well it can also be food on go. Good for someone like me we likes to eat breakfast and rush out of the house for my appointment in the morning.

Cafe 18

There has been alot of Hong Kong Cafe booming around in singapore but i've only been to Xing Wang Hong Kong Cafe coz it sells my fav food. Recently went to this HongKong Cafe located at 15 Cheong Chin Nam Road opposite Beauty World Shopping center.

Cafe 18 is owned by this HongKonger as far as i heard. There were discounts going on for students,special set meals and a 15% off the bill.

Nothing much to boast about as the wait of food was long despite it was after lunch hour and there was only 3 customers beside my parents and me. The taste of food was average. What we ordered - Fish Head with black bean sauce,fried rice and a pork chop baked rice.

Fish head was not too bad but the baked rice was a disappointment. Under the sauce and pork chop was fried rice with egg. The combination was totally out and it was too oily. Guess their speciality is not baked rice. Should have tried something out of their special menu.
