03 Apple Pie (II)

Yet another Apple Pie.


This time I tried to make smaller apple pies rather than one big pie. I thought it would be 'cuter' and well, I do not want to post the exact same thing twice in a row on my blog. Improvement was made, and the result: thinner base, but again not too juicy filling. I think the apple juice got dried up in the baking process and so, I still have to work this bit out.

02 Apple Pie


The Apple Pie is new to me and I really baked it just because I wanted to see how it looks like. It was a nice experiment and I must say, it was not 'that' difficult. I love the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg, and the slight brittleness in the dough. Things I need to work out are one, a thinner base (so that people will not be stuffed after having one bite) and two, juicier apple filling. Anyway, if time permits, I will try to perfect the recipe.


01 Blueberry Cheesecake



The Blueberry Cheesecake is an absolute favourite of mine (and my family), and I have baked it a few times already in the past. A friend of my mother gave the recipe six years ago when we were in Japan.


Yesterday was the first time I baked the cheesecake in Malaysia. The ingredients are mostly imported items and so I had to get them at Mercato, Pavillion. The feedback I got from my fellow food tasters was positive, which motivates me more to bake and continue baking!
