Weekend In The Kitchen

This weekend I spent some time in the kitchen and it seem like this is my form of de-stressing myself. I suppose it helps to take my mind off from things for a few minutes or hours.

So what was the highlight..........

Saturday

I got up early on Saturday to make these brownies and it was surprising how easy to make them. Well apart from worrying when they were ready to take it out of the oven as I did not want to over-cook them and becomes rocks. But lucky they came out just fine and the texture was even better the next day.

Sunday

Woke up this morning to see a bright sunny weather but I decided to stay indoor to make a Dynamite broth from the Itsu recipe book I recently brought. I used the broth to create a udon soup with grilled chicken, vegetables and Japanese fish roll. Yum!

Happy Birthday To Me - 2014

For my birthday this year, my brother ordered a tasty birthday cake from Patisseries des Reves (43 Marylebone High St, Marylebone, London W1U 5HE). As the patisseries do not decorate the cake and can only add a chocolate plate with a mesage of your choice, a friend decorated the cake. It was beautifully decorated cake and I have to say it was so me. Thank you to Nickie for adding the special touch to the cake.

The flavour of the cake was full of vanilla and was a mousse texture. I really loved it as it was not too sweet and light as well. Great one to have as a dessert after dinner!

I was not expecting a cake because already said to my brother that it was fine not to get me one, because I wanted the Roka dessert platter that is served in a boat and cost £56. Yes, it was the most expensive dessert I have had but we all said it was a good dessert and even better then the rest of meal.

 

Thank you to my family, all my friends for making my birthday in 2014 special. Sorry to all those I could not invite to my birthday dinner at Roka but who still got me a birthday present. You did surprised me!
