i m not a big baker,
so for the bake sale we held on friday
(to raise funds for the cocktail ball)
i decided to make tiramisu. :D
BEHOLD



haha even in Lauriston i never really baked anything
usually i just rocked up with something i bought
and pretended i 'made' it and graciously accepted the compliments
so i wouldnt be branded as a lousy homemaker
(i know i m not the only one who does this, so no guilt trips!)

but i love tiramisu, and didnt feel like studying
so ended up making both a matcha tiramisu and an expresso one
my mom freaked when she realised how much of the green tea matcha powder i used
whoops

but though i m super fascinated with the ritual of a tea ceremony
its not like i ll be hosting one anytime soon
so i suppose the powder wasnt wasted in the cake

back to the tiramisu
i love especially since its not as sweet and rich as some other desserts
and its super no brainer to make
just seperate eggs, whip the yellow bit with sugar than marscapone, and then the egg whites in another bowl, mix it together and pour over base.
eeeeeeasy peassssy
just dont soak base for too long like i did

i m feeling so grossed out from the bake sale
i mean it was lovely and all
but its sunday and my teeth are still coated in sugary gunk
ironic cause we re dental students, but whatever

i never want to see a dessert again
even if its Pearl's turkish delight and rose petal icecream
no sireee
I RESIST.

i m on sugar detox





yah the bake sale was interesting
cant quite imagine it being done in a singaporean school
clare/lee i know you ll be amused at this
at the end of the bake sale to clear surplus,
it was $3 for all you can fit on one hand
and some greedy people stacked up so much stuff so high on their hands it friggin collapsed and fell everywhere.
no, no kidding
so unglam!

lee, another reason for you to come, i ll make tiramisu!

okay was loading photos for bake sale and saw some photos from lunch at Oriental Spoon near Melbourne Central
and decided to upload

they didnt have goo pyong gi
the korean spicy chicken thing the Han Guuk Guan does amazingly
(dont mind me i might be confusing the name a little bit with Goo Jun Pyo)
but they had something similar
and it was pretty yummy

the spicy broths the restaurant had was pretty good
not a bad find for the inner city!
i would go there again for sure
although i m not sure if its because i liked the food or because i dont know any other good korean restaurants near that area





went to Dian's 21st after
at Three Degrees in QV
had a really good time, and the function area was lovely.

had a little nap before the party and completely overslept
so had no time to get ready
major pity because everyone was looking so brillz!






and guys in suits always brighten my day.

makes me kinda stressed about my 21st, and am yet undecided if i can be bothered having one
plus, why on earth am i celebrating getting old, losing country club membership and paying full price for everything?
though i suppose its about family and friends getting together to celebrate blah blah blah
i just think 21 = more than half way to 40
which equals midlife crisis
