discover more about this long post (:

here i am with a super long post! (: met up with edith, cathy, jean, wen, jess, jo and zy. it was indeed an awesome experience. more often than not, we could only see and swallow our saliva at those delicious treats that they baked. today or rather yesterday, we not only see each other face to face and chat about everything and anything but also get to taste their heavenly treats which cannot be measure in monetary terms esp in this fast pace and practical society. i indeed have a wonderful and fruitful time spent with them (:

blur me, i left in a hurry and left not only container but also camera at home! ): is okay, i used jess camera to snap photos and definitely photography skills can be improved! :D the rest of them have camera and took really nice photos! hop over to edith and cathy's blog and see. those savoury treats still lingers . . (:

i baked mango cheesecake, jelly heart and fried nian gao that's inspired by wendy (: the nian gao was homemade by my aunt so is a softer and not so sweet version (: also, i used 2 types of sweet potato together. the orange ones is the jap sweet potato and the green ones is the indonesia sweet potato. the green ones, after frying, it became really "melted" and i like it more than the orange one (:

my aunt uses such big pack of flour!
