Cheese cupcakes.

Waiting for the sister at the dentist and its taking so long. Gonna buy my hamsters today! And on the bright side, it's the second last day of extended curriculum. :D not like it makes a difference anyway cos I'll be in school on Mon, Wed, Thur & Fri. My busy busy life. :-(

I made cheese cake cupcakes and here's the recipe!

227 grams of cream cheese
3 eggs
2/3 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
12 Oreos or 6 Digestive biscuits
1 tablespoon of butter

Crush up the Oreos or the biscuits using whatever method you like.
Place the crumbs into a bowl with melted butter and mix well.
Place one tablespoon of crumbs into each cupcake holder and put it into the fridge for about one hour.
Mix the cream cheese, vanilla essence, sugar & eggs together.
Dish out the mixture into the cupcake holders and bake it at 180 degrees for around 15 minutes or until the top is a golden brown depending on the size of your cupcake.
Sprinkle remaining crumbs onto the cupcakes and put it into the fridge after it has cooled down so that you can serve the cheesecake cold.
Enjoy:-)

Delightful Desaru Part 1.

Went off to Desaru, Malaysia this long Hari Raya Haji weekend and I had a blast.
Stayed at a resort called Pulai Desaru
and it was reallllly pretty! Had good facilities and the room was really spacious with a balcony.

The pool was near the beach and there was a kids slide which I went down too:P Kid at heart<3 p="p">

Love being in the water and in the sunlight:-) But one downside of the pool is that its really dirt because everyone goes from the beach to the pool and all the sand stays on the floor. 

Preeeeettttty beach.

Had lunch at this pasar malam thingy at a public beach down the road and the Ramly Burger there costs $1SGD. Cheap and yummy. The mixed vegetables rice was more pricey and costed $5, in SG only $3.

Went to drive an All Terrain Vehicle(ATV) also at the public beach area. Feels like a motorbike with four wheels and its super duper fun! I love speeding and feeling the wind in my hair:P

Me in action and my mom screaming cos I went super fast. :D

to be continued :)

Back!

Sorry for my long hiatus. I am back after one entire month! Have been away because I was busy going through my end of year examinations. The holidays are coming soon and boy am I excited! ☻

It was my younger sister's birthday on the 7 of October and we celebrated at home as we were in the midst of examinations and that was really quite sad but after her exams are over, we will be going to have a real and truest nice dinner!

So stoked for my trip to Desaru trip next week and I'LL BE BACK HERE! Stay tuned!

Maple Bacon Cupcakes

So.... Continuing on with my baking craze! I decided to bake cupcakes for my friends' birthdays on 12 and 15 September! I decided to try something new and super crazy(according to my friends), Savory cupcakes! Okay, not the whole thing but like parts of it.  Since everyone likes maple syrup and everyone likes bacon, why not merge it together? Sounds weird but it actually is really yummy. Thumbs up. Got the recipe from Rachell Tan but edited it a little.

Ingredients

130g Butter (softened)
3/4 cup Sugar

3 Eggs
4 tablespoons Maple Syrup
200g(1.6 cups) Self-raising flour
1/4 tsp Salt (optional if using salted butter)
4 strips Crispy Bacon

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Fahrenheit. 

1. Fry the bacon and slice it up into smaller pieces as shown on the right!

2. Cream the butter and sugar together.

3. Add the eggs one by one and the maple syrup in.

4. Beat in the self raising flour and salt.
5.  Mix in the bacon bits.

6. Scoop the mixture into the cups and place them into the oven for around 15-20 minutes or until it turns golden brown.

Frosting's optional and in my opinion, it overpowers the cupcakes so don't put so much! Frosted mainly for decorative purposes.

Butter
Cream Cheese
Icing Sugar

Just beat all together and I don't really know the exact values of each!
If its not creamy enough, add butter.
If its not sweet enough, add icing sugar.

All packed up and ready to go! Enjoy it:)

My friend's view of Prince William and Kate Middleton. *Sobs* I was on the other side..

Gardens by the Bay//

Visited Gardens by the Bay for the first time! It was around 7:30 pm so it was really hard to take a lot of photos w/out using flash. 

Went to Cloud Forest and we were greeted by this majestic *ahem man-made* waterfall which was spewing water all over! It was really cold inside too as apparently we were supposed to be looking at the mountainous climate. Refreshing and cool, pretty waterfall, looks like some place in a fairy tale, probably a ideal wedding photo shoot place! :D

And it was really dark plus flash ruins photos so we took pretty cool silhouette photos against the waterfall.

#ootd simple red striped dress plus striped Toms.

IM THE TALLEST YAY. Look at my wet hair. I tried looking at the bottom of the waterfall but I was greeted by lots of water. 

One of the views from the top of the "mountain". I really enjoyed the tree top/canopy walk and you could see MBS and the Flyer from inside too.

That's er Domo almost falling off the edges, down the mountain.

Finally found good nice yellow lighting here. 

Supertree at night. It was blasting music. Funny but pretty, I look forward to coming back again to visit the Supertree Grove and the Flower Dome! :)

I really enjoyed the visit and do not hesitate going to Gardens by the Bay. 

It's a sight!

Dolce Gusto Piccolo!

All the different capsules for the different kinds of coffee. Tried the cappuccino. It was mighty good.

And for the first trial! GREEN TEA LATTE! Eunice said it was nice and the guy gave me one set to try plus its like caffeine free and i don't wanna drink coffee in the evening so green tea latte it is.

 Shall try the Latte Macchiato tomorrow!

 So first you insert the milk capsule(the white one) and steamed milk froth comes out! The directions will be on the box.

Than the green tea, from the black capsule.

Finished product!

I love how its so user friendly for coffee newbies like me and its so simple to use! ahh :D plus the drinks are reaaaaallly good. I tried the vanilla latte and the cappuccino too. This is a must-have in your kitchen and if you don't have a coffee machine yet, the Dolce Gusto Piccolo is the one for you. :)

★★★★☆ 4/5 Stars! muacks.
