This crunchy prawn salad is very easy to prepare. All I did was to use a lot of fresh veges to ensure that it is healthy yet tasty. I mixed the veges in the big IKEA mixing bowl and my mom said: don't prepare too much otherwise can't finish. But guess what, half way through dinner,she asked: where's the salad, give me some more..... :)
I borrowed a very beginner-friendly book from Jurong Regional Library not very long ago. It's a Sponge Cake Baking Book written in Chinese and is authored by a Japanese school 'Ecole de Patisserie' or '菓子学校'. The book has very clear explanation and pictures and is incredibly pleasurable to follow. 2 methods of sponge cake recipes are given - whole egg method and egg-separated method. I have tried both and find the outcomes equally pleasant. For the kids' birthday celebration, I decided to follow the egg-separated method. But we always have 2 cakes since they are both October babies, and I wanted some variation, so I search my favourite blogs for inspiration. In the end, I chose this Designer Chocolate Cake recipe from Wendy's blog, Table for 2. The end result was fantastic. The chocolate cake was the favourite because it was not too sweet but rich and moist.
