Memory.
i always wanted my own shop. my dream bakery shop.
bought an average oven to start my first ever made cookies. carried the oven from AMK courts all the way back to home.
my "enthu" in baking never failed me from buying recipes book from various book store. whenever i passed by a bookstore or a hall selling book, my eyes will never leave the bakery recipes.
and so i bought at least five recipe books which still at my shelves. of course they are those not that expensive books, but they do have lots of interesting baking food that i can further learn.
doing online research for online recipes like chocolate cookies, but none were really successful, probably due to the recipes are not from SG and the ingredients are most of them different from the SG products.
anyway, my first baked cookies was supposed to surprise someone on valentines day but it left me with a super sad memorable day. haha. im not sad now. just my bakery past. but that did not stop me from baking.
i remembered there was this time where my polymates came to my house to bake together with me. we were all noob in using oven. and so we set in all the cookies and realised that the recipe book put 375 F and my oven doesn't have! Gosh. and we turn the temperature all the way to the highest and wait. Guess what? the chocolate cookies turned BLACK. afterwhich, i then realised that we need to convert to normal degree, which is around 175 degree celsius. haha. silly us.
i have never success baking cookies, maybe because i seldom eat cookies. but my aunt, nancy bakes really nice cookies that i love it. i only success in baking NEW YORK CHEESECAKE and PORTUGUESE EGG TART and PINEAPPLE TARTS. Cheescake is the best and of course the most expensive ingredients.
oh yeah. we tried baking macarons with my cousins. but we failed. and was being scolded by grandma. i miss those time.
well. i wonder when will be my next baking time. i miss baking. but. i can't bake till maybe next year. :(
deep down in my heart. i have a heavy burden. but i will be fine. i hope you all too.
