Second attempt - cupcake

This is my second attempt and I failed again.
Made a mistake during the cup to weigh conversion. Add more coco powder than required.
The cake texture ended up too dense :(
But hey, at least the shape is good in this round.
Will go for round 3 !!!

Black listed eatery - 天旺

Went to this restaurant at Sembawang Shopping Centre for dim sum, and the food taste like frozen stuffs that you get from the supermarket.
Who make shrimp dumpling with shrimp paste (like sotong ball)?
Which restaurant will serve fried carrot cake that taste like one u can get from the hawker centre (without carrot bite)
Terrible !!
Now I understand why we are the only customers in the shop.
Silly me to actually think that may be because we are early!! :(

Not nice :(

Is typhoon Saola coming?

Getting my food supply for tomorrow in case typhoon Saola is coming to Taichung or Nantao.
The wind is getting stronger by the hours.

Interestingly was that this morning and afternoon were exceptionally calm with absolutely no wind.
Maybe this is what they call "calm before the storm"
