All time favourites (:

Throughout the years, here's one thing that I've never got sick of - Agar Agar. With the time in my hands lately, I had the urge to make some agar-agar for my family and cell group. So, here're the products.

The first batch is pandan flavoured and the second batch is grape flavoured. Notice the 2nd layer with coconut milk? That's always my favourite part of the agar-agar. Of course, i cannot resist not putting nata de coco in there too.

Just today, dear and i decided to make another of our all time favourites - Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookies! So, we headed down to cold storage, got our necessary ingredients and made the cookies from scratch. Pre-mix cookie dough is too cheapo. Getting our hands dirtied is more than fun :)

The cookie dough: (i know it looks a bit errrr....)

Before:

After:

Ta-dah! Yumm yumm...it does taste good and smells really fragrant. But i find it a bit too sweet and too chocolatey for my liking.

Anyway, we didn't know how much we were making until we really started bringing them to the oven. We got a little shock when we saw how many cookies we made! Thank goodness they turned out pretty nice and edible of course. Otherwise, it'll be such a waste!

All packed and ready to share the love (:
So these are my little bundles of joy lately. Agar-agar and cookies are two of my all time favourites and they are really really simple to make. Having started out with simple recipes, I want to go on to making more challenging stuff like strawberry jello cheesecake. But, I would only do it when I really have the urge. Otherwise, it'll just be all talk but no action haha. Other foodies that I itch to try are: glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaf, ngor hiang, hand-made tang yuan (which we'll be doing with jess next week!) and bobo cha cha.

But sigh, these urges of mine aren't really working alongside with my weight-losing plan!
