Nomnomnom!

Hiiii guys!  I'm crazy about Japanese cuisine (from sashimi to tempura to their yummy beef rice and so on) so I'd like to share photos of what we had for dinner the other day. :)

I can eat Japanese food everyday if I could, no kidding!  It's just oh-so-yummy!  I know that's what I tend to say everytime I go and eat somewhere nice.  Anyway, a thumbs up for this dinner and I had a great time with my mom and aunt. :)  Oh and for dessert, we went to this place called Mi Cafe where we had coffee and waffles with ice-cream!  Oh God -- this post is making me hungry again.  Teehee!  Oh and sorry for the quality of the photos as I only had my phone with me at that time.  Anyway, enjoy and hope you have a lovely week ahead of you.

I consume. I gain.

How've you been loves?  It's been a while since my last post.  I've been really busy the past two weeks, what with all my deadlines for writing my papers, editing my portfolio, performance, presentations for my classes and I haven't had the time to take any photos except of food.  HAHA!  I've been stuffing myself with FOOD while doing my assignments as you can see from the photos below.  I feel as though I've gained some weight but oh well... I really can't help it, I've been getting my energy from these treats since I haven't been sleeping more than I should.

Anyway, I hope you guys like the photos and I'll be posting more photos of food and well enjoy looking at them.  Till next post loves!

Cinnamon Sugar Coated Muffins stuffed with Kinder Bueno!

Hi everyone!  Care to try this yummy "Cinnamon Sugar Coated Muffin stuffed with Kinder Bueno"?  I'm a huge fan of desserts and I had the urge to bake something or make something sweet for that matter since after all, it is the Love month.  And so, I was surfing the net when I remembered a food blogger I'm following on instagram named Erwan and decided to check his blog called thefatkidinside.com.  I came across the muffins but what really caught my eye were the words "Kinder Bueno" which is why I just had to try to bake them.

Here are the Ingredients I used to make them and they are of course also on Erwan's blog. :)

1. 1/2 cup sugar

2. ½ tsp salt

3. 1/2 cup milk (whole)

4. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose or self-raising flour

5. ½ tsp nutmeg

6. ½ tsp cinnamon

7. 2 1/4 tsp baking powder

8. ½ kinder bueno for each muffin

9. 1 large egg

10. 1 tsp vanilla extract

11. 1/3 cup (5 Tbsp) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Topping:

1. ½ cup sugar + 3 tsp cinnamon

2. Butter for topping

Sooo, after you've gathered all the ingredients, you have to mix all of them one by one in order according to Erwan, the first one being the butter, followed by sugar, egg, vanilla extract, milk, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and of course the kinder buenos! 

And after you've mixed all the ingredients, the batter would look something like this!!

After you've finished the batter, fill each of the tins by half (buttered) or as you can see, I used paper cups since I do not have a tin and add the pieces of kinder buenos and then cover it with a little bit more mixture so as to bring it to 3/4 fill.

Bake them at 350°F for around 12-15 minutes or you could use a toothpick to see whether the dough would stick or not... 

After getting them out of the oven, let them cool for about five minutes and brush them off with butter and roll the buttered part in the cinnamon sugar.

And voila, you can then enjoy your yummy muffins!  Hope you try this recipe!  Thank God for food bloggers!  Hahaha!  

I hope you liked my photos and I know I'm no professional at baking but I do hope to get better because I have the passion to bake.  Cheers!

Pigging out, pigging out and more pigging out! :)

Another week has passed and just like that it's February!  There's so much to look forward to in the month of February.  Anyway, here are some of the random photos I took during the week.  As you can see, there's been a lot of pigging out which is why I believe that I would have to go on diet during the Lunar/Chinese New Year holidays which I know might be unlikely.  Anyway, I've been pigging out with friends and of course my boyfriend, plus I studied for my French exam with a friend and watched "Hansel & Gretel" at the UA cinema.  This week was great and I'm looking forward to the holidays because I honestly need a break from school, the professors and not to mention, assignments!!!

Oh and here's what I wore when I hung out with Caloy last night.
