White Chocolate Truffles
Well, I didn't wish to make a mess in the kitchen as my Christmas pressie for E, so I passed on the idea. Looking thru' the book, I decided on white chocolate truffles as the steps looked fairly simple to follow. I didn't think I did a good job in making these truffles. The truffles look like truffles but I'm not satisfied with the melted white choco.

Pineapple tarts III
Hi everyone, I'm back to my baking habits again. I was away for some time due to travelling. Went Europe for 3 weeks; touring with friends and some parts on my own. It was quite an experience, though I wish I won't experience the adventure again. No more winter travels to countries that snow. No way...
Chinese New Year is around the corner. And yes, I baked pineapple tarts again. This time I baked the PT using 3 different brands of butter. They are Lurpak, President and Anchor. A of them taste really good but Lurpak unsalted butter is definitely my first choice as it gave out the best aromatic buttery smell.Not forgetting the fact that Lurpak is also the most expensive butter. Using quality ingredients is impt in bringing out the best of dessert one is preparing. Quality may not necessarily means we've to use expensive ingredients all the time. If I can find a cheaper alternative and at the same time I get to enjoy tasty food, it'll be a bonus.
