Strawberries in June

Some time ago, (and when I say some time, it really means a long while) when strawberries were still in season, my friend tagged me along with her family to do some strawberry picking, up north of Brisbane. I truly enjoyed the process towards picking these fresh, ruby red and huge strawberries.

Like every other baker, I suffer from the same dilemma, it's so fresh, so should I eat it fresh or should I bake something pretty? It would be a crime to torture this beauties in your oven.
And that's my defence towards, laziness.

Nasi Lemak with Prawn Sambal (Malaysian Coconut Rice)

Nasi Lemak wrapped in banana leaves that I dearly miss, readily on the table as I stroll down the stairs after a Saturday morning sleep-in, taken for granted.
Although I have not experience that in years now, I could still remember the fragrance in coconut rice which is deemed to be very 'lemak' (fat). Yes, you are right, Nasi Lemak translates directly to Fat Rice, yet we all indulge in it.

Ham and Cheese Rolls with Tang Zhong

From summer to winter, I have been wanting to post this. I have made assorted buns several times with this same recipe, and it is great! Except during winter, it takes an extra effort to help the dough rise, and I struggle to tell if they have risen or not. As time passes before me, I have had so much I wanted to write, like I could do a babbling marathon, but now, completely swallowed my words. So here you go, a bun recipe. That's all I have to say after a long silence.
