It's About the Carrot Cake

"It's not about the primecut or the deep ocean abalone, it's about the carrot cake." -- Jeremy Lim

Yes, so this is one of our many endeavors at cooking and making our own food to satisfy those greedy stomachs of ours! =)

Of course, someone got so irritated cos he had to run 3 different places just in search of the 50-cents 'chai poh'... LOL!

Well, but it's all forgotten and buried under all that flour after we started on the making of the chai tau kuey! =D

Slicing the radish was probably the most time-consuming part...

Well, we took the chance to hone our skills! =p

Stirring and mixing the flour batter!

About done...

Transferring onto the steamer...

Here it is!!!

A bit rough at the bottom though.

Proudly presents...

Homemade Fried Carrot Cake! =D

Chomp chomp! =p

It's these little moments with you that makes it all add up to a whole lot of indescribable happiness... =)

Life's Like Carrot Cake

I enjoy every single moment spent with friends and family, but I especially enjoy 1 simple moment with you, be it just watching a show with the lowest viewership on TV or cooking something you can get for $2.50 by just ordering from the uncle like a plate of carrot cake.

For the past 1 year + together, we have tried out recipes and although they didn't always turn out like how we wanted them to be, we enjoyed the process of learning and doing it together. We've cooked pork ribs soup with cabbage before, tiramisu, rosti, fried rice, fried udon, many many more, and recently, our homemade carrot cake.

Dear, I've been wondering who else would love staying at home watching a boring TV show and go through the trouble of making carrot cake on our own, and I can't think of anyone else but you. There is a whole world of cuisine in this world and I wish you will be part of this journey in tasting and cooking them all with me (hehehe... except spicy food, seafood and some others you don't eat that I know, but not many others know).

I love you dear!!!
