let's get sconed !

recently i'm completely drained out from work

Mr D is dead tired !!
so i decided to give myself a break today ..

yes ! i baking ! cuz it's the best way to kill the stress im dealing now

finally for the longest time ! =)


let's check out my creation for the day =)


i have a long love affair with scones
coincidentally i'm so addicted to macdonald's cinnamon melt recently !
hence i'm going to put both ingredients together and make my very own version .

ingredients :

• 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar,
• 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  
• 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamons
  
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• chocolate chips

In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 10-12 times or until dough is no longer sticky.

add in the chocolate chips and mix to distribute

Divide in half; gently pat or roll each portion into a 7-in. circle.
Brush with butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
use a 1-2 inch round cutter and cut out 6-8 scones

Separate scones and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 425° for 10-13 minutes or until lightly browned.

preheat the oven 425 degree

and bake for 12- 15 mins


freshly bake scones in the house !! ^^

leave it on the rack and cool for about 10 mins ..

and after garnishing


presenting my baking of the day !

alright peeps !
hope what i did today is being relished =)

weekend is over soon
back to reality again ..sigh ..

another stressful week ahead ! :(

back again !

hahha... i'm finally back !

at the same time i'm referring to our very own local songbird who is
arguably the most successful singer in singapore & asia !

despite of my busiest hectic period ,
i can't find any good reason for me to missed out this incredible awesome showcase of her :)


After two years of silence and fending off the flurry of speculation from fans
and media that accompanied it,
Sun is now itching for her next breakthrough.
At the official press conference on 29 May for her “The Answer is…” concert in Singapore, the petite songbird says, “For a long time, people have always associated me with the girl next door.
I like being the girl next door, but I think I’ve already established that.
I’d like to do more than just sing and be sweet and pretty.”

check out the grand opening !

i'm a way to lazy to type here .. lol

here the pictures of this spectacular concert :)

Her concert in Taiwan kicked off with a huge bang,
featuring the singer in outrageous futuristic costumes,
singing against an extravagant buffet of new technologies such as holograms as well as multi-faceted stage designs,
vastly different from her usual comparatively more somber image.
The singer admits to trying on over 100 different costumes before settling on the final wardrobe.

and as for her homeground , she tries to " bring back "what she did in her last concert @taiwan

all i could say ..
the concert is definitely worth watching !
