No lj-cuts here, so its going to be messy!
Accumulated from the last month or so..


Belgium mussels, but none were eaten because the shells didnt open. I guess it'd sat in the freezer for too long. Anyway, the soup still taste good. I'll do it again.

Recipe:

Fresh mussels, plenty
1 Belgium beer i.e. hoegarden
thickened cream
chicken stock
leek
onion
garlic

Stir fry garlic, onion and leek in a pot until fragrant and leek soften. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add mussels and beer, let it cook for about 10mins or until the shells open. Pour in thickened cream(not too much) and allow it to simmer for another 3min. Garnish with parsley(optional) and serve!
Most of the time I just estimated, so just put however much you like.

Matcha-chocolate cupcakes. I didnt really like it because it tasted like fak-gao. Too dense and not sweet enough. I suspect I put too much bicarb soda that it collapsed after rising. Anyhoo, I dont think its a good recipe but yet I got positive feedback for it. Maybe it isnt that bad as I thought.. If you like dense, not sweet cupcakes, leave a comment and I'll post the recipe!
