Week 151: Cheesecake Mosaïc ..................................................................................... My last bake for the year (yes, this is also for the Christmas Eve potluck). This is one of the most complex cheesecake in my repertoire, and the most complex flavour too, with 2 separate layers (baked and non-bake) of pistachio cheesecakes embedded with macerated sour cherries. . This year has been rather eventful, to say the least. Met a lot of new people - at work, at home. Made some new friends, that makes me wonder how life would be without them. Reconnected with some old friends and wonder how amazing that despite the years, the chemistry stays exactly the same. And sadly, loss some friends that made me think if I should have tried harder, or, if there is anything I could have done differently. . But life goes on. Despite a lot of downs in 2016 (and not just for me!), at least the year managed to end on a high note. I managed to spend the last 2 weeks with some of the most important people in my life and it is difficult to explain how much that meant to me. 2017 is not going to be easy, but, I believe, with each new challenge, we discover new strengths within us. And the people around us, with their support and encouragement, they make the discovery journey all that more fun and enjoyable. . Cheers to 2017, and all the challenges it dares to throw at us! ..................................................................................... #homebaker #hobbybaker #sgbakes #bakersofsgp #instafood #insta_sg #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodporn #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #inmykitchen #onthetable #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #hautecuisines #thefeedfeed #kitchenevangelist #cheesecake #pierrehermé #dinnerparty #pistachio

Shaw Tower Shaw Towers was built in 1970 by Shaw Organization and was one of Asia’s largest cinema operators at the time. Shaw Towers is characterised by a functional and practical modernist style. The unadorned building structure consists of repetitive rectilinear geometric elements. Small design flourishes such as moulded façade framing around the office tower windows, and floor level articulations that moderate the scale of the building elements, add a touch of creative eclecticism. The Straits Times reported on 31 November 2018 that all tenants had been given advance notice to relocate by June 2020; the 42-year-old Shaw Towers will likely be torn down, and a new 35-storey grade A office and retail building will be developed in its place by 2023. . 📷 : Sony ILCE-A7RM4, FE 12-24 G ##### 邵氏大廈 Shaw Towers由Shaw Organisation於1970年建成，是當時亞洲最大的電影院運營商之一。 邵氏大廈的特點是實用和實用的現代主義風格。 樸素的建築結構由重複的直線幾何元素組成。 小型設計蓬勃發展，例如圍繞辦公大樓窗戶模壓的立面，以及緩和建築構件規模的地板鉸接，增添了創意折衷主義的氣息。 The Strait Times於2018年11月31日報導，所有住戶��已得到提前通知，準備在2020年6月之前搬遷; 這座擁有42年曆史的邵氏大廈很可能會被拆除，到2023年將在其位置開發一座新的35層甲級辦公和零售大樓。 #singapore #singaporephotographer #sony #sonysingapore #sonyimages #sonyalphasclub #sgheartmap #natgeo #natgeoyourshot #yourshotphotographer #hipaae #500px #bbctravel #cnntravel #tripadvisor #lonelyplanet #gettyimages #thephotosociety #shawtower #visitsingapore #insta_sg #nationalstadium #sportsingapore #cityscape #sunteccity (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBIf01fnj1e/?igshid=1l7tvo82h9n9x

Week 148: Passion fruit and dark chocolate petit gâteau ..................................................................................... I have always been curious about the chocolate and passion fruit pairing. The Mogador macaron from #PierreHermé is a little too tart for me. So for my attempt, I decided to tone down the passion fruit for a bit. . To prepare the passion fruit purée, I scrapped the seeds out of 6 fruits, bring them to a boil, blend it then strain them through a fine strainer. I managed to get about 200g of purée out of the 6 fruits. . For the base, I used my tried and tested brownie recipe from @davidlebovitz And for a texture variation, a layer of #HervéThis' unconventional chocolate mousse. These are then covered by a layer of passion fruit mousse followed by a shiny white chocolate mirror glaze. And sadly, a failed attempt at spider web glaze lol. ..................................................................................... #hobbybaker #homebaker #delicious #f52grams #sgbakes #sgpastries #bakersofsgp #instafood #insta_sg #foodphotography #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #inmykitchen #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #hautecuisines #thefeedfeed #pastry_inspiration #patisserie #dessertmasters #pastrylife #pastrychef #kitchenevangelist #entremet

Week 147: Rye sourdough loaf ..................................................................................... It's been many weeks since my last sourdough loaf, and poor #pangzhi has been cold-storaged, literally. Many that's why he's not happy and I ended up with one of the most dense and least airy loaf ever. 😔 . Oh well, at least I got a chance to practice my scoring (I thought the scoring on this is not too bad) and healthy breakfast for a week. ..................................................................................... #homebaker #hobbybaker #sgbakes #bakersofsgp #instafood #insta_sg #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodporn #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #inmykitchen #onthetable #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #hautecuisines #thefeedfeed #bakedfromscratch #sourdough #artisanbread #naturallyleavened #justwaterflourandsalt

Week 150: Rye sourdough loaf ..................................................................................... After last week's "success", I was really looking forward to another attempt, with just a slight increase in hydration (from 66% to 75%). I had a bit of a scare though, as, even after the third feeding, #pangzhi remained dormant. It wasn't until I was about to head out for dinner that it decided to bubble-up, screwing up my usual sourdough schedule. Harrumph! 😑 . Fortunately, I took a day off work to spend some time with an old, old friend, whom I have not seen for the last 20 (!?!) years. So in between our chit-chat and reruns of #gbbo, I was running in and out of the kitchen, checking on my sourdough loaf. . Thankfully the effort was well worthwhile. I mean, look at the holes on this one! 🤓 Also thanks to @thefoodpoet for being such a patient hand model and for bearing with my sourdough obsession. ..................................................................................... #homebaker #hobbybaker #sgbakes #bakersofsgp #instafood #insta_sg #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodporn #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #inmykitchen #onthetable #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #hautecuisines #thefeedfeed #bakedfromscratch #sourdough #artisanbread #naturallyleavened #justwaterflourandsalt

Week 145: Clotilde’s very chocolate cookie ..................................................................................... The best way to know if your cookies are going to taste awesome? Nib a bit of the cookie dough and if you feel like you want to eat another big chunk of it before it even made it into the oven, you know you're on the right track! . I have been wanting to visit The Ghibli Museum in Tokyo for the longest time. I kept missing the chance, despite having been to Tokyo multiple times, because it is such a pain to buy the ticket. This time however, a friend of mine happened to go to Tokyo 2 weeks before my trip, and she managed to get me the much coveted ticket! And the trip to the museum is my most memorable encounter in Tokyo, ever. (Even more memorable than the first time I saw Mt Fuji.) . As a token of appreciation, I decided to make her a batch of these delicious chocolate cookies, because these are my favourite cookies and I hope it may help encourage her to start baking (she had just resigned from her job and is currently seeking something she is passionate about). I was glad to receive her message the next day telling me she was in chocolate heaven! . ..................................................................................... #hobbybaker #bbcgoodfood #f52grams #sgbakes #sgpastries #bakersofsgp #instafood #insta_sg #foodphotography #foodporn #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #inmykitchen #onthetable #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #hautecuisines #thefeedfeed #pastry_inspiration #chocolate #triplechocolate #cookies #chocolateoverload #ilovechocolate #kitchenevangelist #cookiedough @davidlebovitz

Week 149: Rye sourdough loaf ..................................................................................... You have no idea how challenging it is to take this shot, alone at home! 😂 . On the bright side, this is definitely my best sourdough loaf to date! Light and crunchy crust, soft and airy crumb with just a slight tinge of "sour". Still a long way to go, but at least I am headed in the correct direction. . For the first time I did the entire bulk and final proof process in room temperature (~25C) and I believe that really made a difference. ..................................................................................... #homebaker #hobbybaker #sgbakes #bakersofsgp #instafood #insta_sg #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodporn #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #inmykitchen #onthetable #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #hautecuisines #thefeedfeed #bakedfromscratch #sourdough #artisanbread #naturallyleavened #justwaterflourandsalt #pangzhi

Week 144: Chocolate Japanese cotton cheesecake ..................................................................................... What do you do when it's Sunday evening and you just remembered you are meeting the ladies from work the next day for lunch to celebrate a dear friend's birthday? You resort to your go-to celebration cake, of course. . This is something light, pretty and not so cheesy that my friend (who does not like cheesecake) approves of. Thankfully it is also super quick and easy to make. It was indeed a sweet treat after a lovely lunch time catch-up. . ..................................................................................... #baking #bbcgoodfood #f52grams #sgbakes #sgpastries #bakersofsgp #instafood #insta_sg #foodphotography #foodporn #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #inmykitchen #onthetable #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #hautecuisines #thefeedfeed #gbbo #cakeweek #pastry_inspiration #birthdaycake #cheesecake #chocolate #baileys #kitchenevangelist

Week 149: Petit gâteau de Noël blanc ..................................................................................... #Christmas is in the air! Time to bust out those dusty molds and bake up something special. And I really want to bake up something particularly special to christen this new set of mold. . Ever since I read about @dominiqueansel 's December cronut - white chocolate peppermint and cherry, I couldn't quite get it out of my mind. That is usually how baking inspirations happen for me - when I read about a flavour combination that I couldn't get out of my mind. . For the past few days I have been researching the different recipes and flavour combinations and finally found one that works (at least according to my friends). Will be sharing the components in my subsequent posts, but for now, let me present to you, "Petit gâteau de Noël blanc." ..................................................................................... #hobbybaker #homebaker #delicious #f52grams #sgbakes #sgpastries #bakersofsgp #insta_sg #foodphotography #foodstyling #whatibakedtoday #undiscoveredbaker #only_beautiful_food #lovestobake #frommyoven #thebakinghermit #buzzfeast #thebakefeed #thefeedfeed #pastry_inspiration #patisserie #dessertmasters #pastrylife #pastrychef #kitchenevangelist #petitgateau #christmasflavors #pillow #peppermint
