Without anyone telling you, without opening your eyes, you see a lot of Easter eggs, candies, bunnies, chicks…and you know Easter is here! That’s the power of holidays! Or the power of retail business.
Surprise Easter Bunny Cake
Surprise! Your kid cracks a Kinder Egg, sees the toy inside, eats the egg, plays the toy a little, and you secretly throw another junk away.
This might not be your story. But it happens a lot in our house. Tiny things from goodie bags, toys from McDonalds, stationeries, stickers, scrape papers, marbles…and oh their favourite, ROCKS! You have no idea how many times I have to clear the gallons of rocks inside the pockets of my kids’ pants before putting them in the washing machine! Why do people have to spend so much on toys? Just get your kids rocks!
Tiramisu
Every time I serve tiramisu. People are literally flying with joy. Tiramisu is one mysterious dessert that costs a lot in a restaurant, but in fact takes no hassle to make at home. I guess the pricey mascarpone cheese is the reason why tiramisu is expensive, although other ingredients are quite inexpensive. However, if you attempt to give it a try, you will have to stick with the best quality mascarpone cheese, of which the irreplaceable luscious taste comes from.
Matcha Black Sesame Cheesecake
I am sure by now you’ve already seen way too many green desserts, thanks to the St. Patrick’s Day. And now I had to follow suit. I am sorry!
I prefer going for something with natural green instead of adding food colouring to my green dessert. Not that I don’t use food colouring, in fact, I use it a lot. Just if I have choice, I would prefer something organic, natural and unprocessed.
Japchae (Korean Glass Noodles)
I love Korean food. One of the reasons is that I am crazy about kimchi. I would literally eat it every day. In fact it’s what I’ve been doing for the past few days thanks to that trip to a Korean grocery store. I came home with a large 4-litre jar of kimchi. Just yesterday I had a bowl of steamy rice and kimchi. A lot of it. And it made me so happy!
