Thai Tea series - Part I Thai Milk Tea Chiffon Cake Thai Tea series - Part II Thai Tea Cookies Thai Tea series - Part III Bake Thai Milk Tea Cheese Tart I still have a few Thai tea bakes in my list like egg tarts, butter cake, roll cake and cupcake but didn't feel like baking any of them just yet. Rather, had an urge to bake some donuts. So yep, here's my quick and easy, very hastily put-together Baked Thai Milk Tea Donuts with Thai Milk Tea Glaze. This baked donut is essentially a "cake" version which is much easier to make than dough ones which require proofing and save the mess of deep-frying as well. Thai Milk Tea Donuts with Thai Milk Tea Glaze (makes 18 mini donuts) Ingredients (A) Thai milk tea 300g fresh milk 6 teabags thai tea Heat fresh milk in small pot till hot, add the teabags and let them infuse for an hour or more. Drain and squeeze as much liquid out of the bags as possible. Set the thai milk tea aside. *There is more than enough milk tea left, extra c...

I'm not familiar with TCM or chinese herbs and thus seldom prepare herbal dishes at home. But once in a while when the weather is rainy and cold, my family would crave for some soothing Emperor Herbal Chicken. Those times, either we dine out at zi char stalls or I would buy commercial soup pack with all the necessary herbs and some even come with plastic sheet and aluminum foil. After receiving a complimentary bottle of Huiji Waist Tonic (from Singapore Home Cooks and Huiji ), I read through the ingredients and learnt that Huiji is made with 6 different kinds of premium-quality herbs, Cordyceps, Ginseng, Du Zhong, Dang Gui, Shou Wu and Da Zao. So I thought Huiji would be a good alternative to actual herbs used in Emperor Herbal Chicken. In addition to Huiji, I only added dried huai shan, red date and goji berries to the broth as I happen to have these ingredients in my fridge (cannot remember when or where I got them!). It's really simple to whip up! There are only 3 of us i...

Check out my other dishes created with Huiji Waist Tonic: Fresh Huaishan and Eryngii Mushroom in Huiji Sauce ???????? Steamed Red Date Huiji Layer Cake ???????????   Many ladies especially those who have gone through confinement would be familiar with this dish. It's supposedly nourishing for the body, such as strengthening the waist and kidney. For me, it's also a childhood dish as my mum likes pork kidney and would cook it with pork slices, ginger and sesame oil once in a while. I love the bouncy texture of the kidney and the tantalising sauce which always makes me go for more rice!  Initially I shunned away from cooking it at home as I didn't know how to clean and rid the stinky odour from the kidney, but after learning from the friendly wet market butcher and picking up tips from the internet, I realise it's much easier than expected! Basically at the wet market (where I frequent), the kidneys are sold in a set comprising of two kidneys. The butcher would slice open...

Thai Tea series - Part I Thai Milk Tea Chiffon Cake Thai Tea series - Part II Thai Tea Cookies Woohoo... I'm still going strong for my Thai Tea series ;p This time round, decided to play with my signature Bake Cheese Tart recipe and incorporate Thai Milk Tea :) Well, since there's already a chocolate flavour in the market, other flavours could possibly be introduced in time to come? Anyways, I baked a batch on Sunday afternoon but somehow the cheese flavour overwhelmed the Thai Milk Tea taste and I wasn't satisfied with the results. When I was cooking the custard, I added the cream cheese bit by bit to reach the desired balanced taste. Before sending the tart for baking, the Thai Milk Tea flavour was distinct with cheesy undertone, but after the tart was baked, the cheese flavour took over and I couldn't taste much of the milk tea anymore -_-" So this morning, I tested another batch by increasing the intensity of Thai Milk Tea and reducing the cream cheese...
