before you start reading , i suggest you read this post first . hahahah . and to those of you who have already read it before , i pray you forget that image soon enough . :p done reading ? okay . as you can see macarons aren’t really my strong point . cupcakes and whole cakes and cookies – fine . but when it comes to macarons … heh ..
anyway , call me crazy but i decided to give baking macarons another shot ! and since finals are over now , i have the tendency to skip school :p and with that , comes the urge to bake .
for a few days i was dying to bake macarons and today i finally did !! had to go through a lot of trouble to get the almond meal though D: woke up at 9.30 and walked to ICCA , the biggest baking supplies shop near Giza … only to find out they didn’t have almond meal … only hazelnut meal D: so i headed over to my second choice , City Baker’s , but they too didn’t have it FML x9999 . then i went over to Mom’s Bakery Bits … BUT THEY WERE UNDER RENOVATION . GIZA WAS MY FINAL HOPE , AND BLESS THEIR SOULS , THEY HAD ALMOND MEAL !!!!!!! ASDFGHJKL;
so off i went in the sweltering sun and back home to my comfort zone YAY .
by the way this is the recipe i used ! http://foodnouveau.com/2010/03/destinations/europe/france/how-to-make-macarons-a-detailed-illustrated-step-by-step-recipe/
and lets start !
i also coloured the egg whites + sugar pink !!! sooo pretty *w*
left it to cool and …
while waiting for them to bake i lurked around insta for awhile ..
will definitely give it a go again soon , as i now know what went wrong . HEHEHEH CAN’T WAIT !!! I VOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT MACARONS !
to make up for my semi-failure this time , here are some cakes i baked in school in conjunction with our interclass culinary competitions !!
since the culinary competition required us to cook every single day + provide our own ingredients for 4 weeks in a row (talk about crazy) , our class decided to quit it after one week cos it was too damn hectic , and frankly , none of us are that dedicated to going to school either hahah :p
ok see you guys soon ! Labels: Baking isit Melaka or Malacca ?? hahaha idk . anyway , for those of you who do not know , Melaka is my mom’s hometown and i was also born there , so it’s no surprise that a lot of my relatives come from there – even those i do not know of .
so last weekend i was dragged to a wedding in Melaka . a wedding of a relative i do not know of , and does not know of me either hahaha . i’m pretty sure a lot of you have experienced this before : attending a wedding where you don’t even know the bride and groom and yet you are forced to attend it .
seriously , i can’t stand being forced into things i don’t want to do . but since my mom bribed me into this , i have no choice but to oblige T____T so off i go to Melaka …
OK END OF RANT . MOVING ON .
and then it was an endless chain of meeting my mom’s relatives whom i never knew about and hearing them talk about how big i’ve gotten even though i have no memory of them . but it was alright and the food was good and my favourite part was …
the next day we took a little tour around Jonker Street , since the hotel we were staying at was around that area :)
it was getting pretty hot during the day so we stopped somewhere to have some shaved ice and curry noodles ! yumzzz :9
ok ending this post with a pic of me from super long ago .

the day before i went to Penang , i had chilli pan mee with my girls to celebrate the end of finals ! <3
then went to the rooftop to take pics ahahah then i took jump shots and it was so fun ehehehe !
then i went to Jalan Argyll in search for jiao sai but i couldn’t find it T____T so i went to Marshall’s instead to try their burgers :(
went to Gurney again the next day to send a few more cupcakes ! :D
i was soooo desperate to get my jiao sai then i went to look for it again :( this time , i found it but IT WAS CLOSED !!!! FML x1000000 *cries in a pool of my own tears*
so i went to Piknik . :(
believe it or not , the NEXT day i went to look for jiao sai again hahaha . #crazy and this time , i was third time lucky !!! it was FINALLY OPEN WOOHOOOOOOOO
