One of my kids favourite is chicken in soya sauce gravy. There are many version of chicken in soya sauce, some are more savoury with spices like cinnamon, cloves etc, some are very simple no spices at all and some like what my late mom used to cook is added with tomato ketchup/puree for added flavour like this one.

Dark Chocolate Dessert Cake
My least creative cake that I baked for my colleagues in the office yesterday night :-D It is a very simple recipe and is taken off the back of a cadbury dark cooking chocolate wrapper. I would say that not only it is easy, it tastes real good too. I used dark ghana whittakers chocolate but you can use any good quality dark chocolate for this. However, I would recommend that you add maybe 2T of sourcream/buttermilk or yogurt for extra moist texture.

Flour famous banana bread
I made this lovely banana bread a few weeks ago for my sister who was going back to Shanghai. We usually have this deal, I got her to buy some stuffs for me from Shanghai and I in turn will bake for her some cakes or stuffs to bring back. Good thing was that my dad bought some bananas which I used for this banana bread.
I kind of like the idea of taking a photo of the baked good with the book. It gives you an idea how the end result will look in comparison with the photo from the book. So here it is. Unlike most banana bread that only requires you to mix the wet & dry ingredients, this one needs you to whip the eggs and sugar till fluffy hence the texture of this bread is more cake like and light. The recipe as follows:

Work Lunch #1
I have been bringing lunch to office quite often now as I am trying to eat healthy :-D I usually share my lunch photo with my friends at FB and decided maybe I should share them in this blog. So this post is my first lunch photo and here it is :D
This is chicken in soya sauce and steamed broccoli. I was just too lazy to do a stir-fry this morning hence the simple steamed vege. The soya sauce chicken is a simple malay style, I will be sharing the recipe in my next post. Keep a lookout !

Moist, Chewy, Fudgy Brownie
I am not a great fan of brownies. But I was looking out for a chewy , fudgy brownie for another friend and thought of giving this recipe a try. An online friend shared this recipe a few years ago and it has always been in my to do list but it got shifted down as months passed. Honestly I am glad that made it. It is really that fudgy, chewy and dense, good for those who love fudgy brownies :-)
