Tai Tai Session Part IV

It has been a long time since the Tai Tai get to gether for a bakeout session. Finally, we have the priviledge to get together at "Cass Baking School" for a great baking session today. Recently, Cass had a makeover at her home and i was truly impressed and like her new home. It was truly made for a great chief like cass. So cosy and so motivated to bake at her new place.

Today we tried two receipes, see results :)

And we had chicken rice for luncheon today. Thanks to the great chef - Cass. Her nimble hands are truly amazing. Thanks Cass for the kind hospitality and look forward to our next session.

Milk Shak~ing good

Milkshake sounds like an alien terminlogy to me. To be honest, i have never try any milk shake in my life. Until recently, i was being introduced to it by two milk shake fanatics - Arthur and Larry. And finally, i have a chance to try that out at Swensen. Good choice indeed since Swensen has many variety when it comes to ice cream. And certainly one is spoilt for choice with that 21 flavors :)

I really recommend you to try it out, but do it with your friend so that you can share and exchange the different variety at one go

P.S. if you have a low tolerance for lactose, i suggest you give this a miss

A special tribute to Mother

In the bible, under Proverbs 31:28 "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her"

Indeed, I thank God for a wonderful mother who has mould my heart. I am thankful that I am bestowed with such a wonderful mother, who instil the right values in me, giving me love and always encouraging me. And giving me the best in life. My mother give me strength to face difficulties in life, taught me to be positive when I had a tough time, giving me rooms to be creative and a big heart to those who are in need of help. And she give me love so that i could love others too. What I can give back to her is insignificant compared to the those she has given me. I wanted to dedicate this day to her. Wishing her good health and happiness in life
Mummy, I love you !!!

And may I send this love today to all my friends who is also a mother - Kailing, Tracy (mum to be), Khim, Joanne, Lilian, Geok Lian and many more. This day is for you too :)
