Banana Bread

Banana Bread, I believe, is one of the most popular baked goods.There’s no one who loves baking is not familiar to this quick bread. The ease to make, the natural taste and muffin-like texture have made this Banana Bread many pp’s favourite and it can be served anytime of the day. It can be served at breakfast w a cup of tea/coffee, or after meals as dessert, or a light brunch, u name it. Banana Bread falls under the category of Quick Breads, which means it is leavened w either baking powder and/or baking soda n is made by simply combining the wet ingredients w the dry ingredients.

Choux à la Crème – Cream puff

Cream puffs have become a part of my childhood In Vietnamese we call it “su kem”, which is the verbal translation from “choux” n “crème ” in French. I had this first when I was in elementary school when I was in grade 4 or sth. In my final year of primary school (grade 5 I mean ), I often had lots of friends coming for small parties or to “study” together , n we always had cream puffs as a treat after “studying” really “hard” lol… I really missed those days when we kids started working hard on our homework w the promise of mom to bring back cream puff once we get everything done properly

I had the chance to make Choux à la Crème for the first time – today – as I’m now my friend’s personal cook haha I guess this’s a really good practice for me to be a better “mom” in the future ) =)) I was so so nervous making the dough worrying I may do sth wrong or unproperly, or the dough may not “puff” butgot flatenned out :-s I was so so worried this time baking U know, this is cream puff, not like muffin or quick bread, they’re so easy to make. I’ve never failed Luckily I got this first Choux à la Crème quite well done All 3 pp having the cream puff liked it :X I’m so la la la right now \:D/
