I noticed I have not done a baking related entry for so long. Today I felt like baking, so, I took out the dusty cupcake recipe book and chose a recipe. Actually, the decision was not that random.

No thanks to 9GAG, I have been craving Nutella. Here, Murphy’s Law kicked in and decided to annoy me. When I do not crave for Nutella, I see jars and jars of it all over Kuching but when I start craving it, I could not find a single jar, even the smallest of Nutella anywhere!

Until my friend, Hisyam, mentioned Thong Hin, where I found the last two big jars of Nutella. Yay! I have delayed this project for quite a while and I am happy it is a success. Today, I baked not only Nutella cupcakes but Nutella cookies as well!

For those of you who have a penchant for sweet things especially cupcakes, this entry is dedicated to you.

Nutella Cupcake without frosting...

Nutella Cupcake with frosting!

Not everyone likes frosting and I cheated a bit with the frosting here. Instead of using the chocolate frosting recipe, I just spread Nutella all over. Thinly of course as I do not want to give diabetes to whomever eating it.  Besides, the cupcake is already rich on its own, what more with frosting!

To be honest, I sucks in baking cookies. Either I fail or the cookies end up burnt. Today, my luck changed and I made such perfect batches of Nutella cookie! Thank you Nabiya for sharing the recipe!

Easy from the beginning to end, a must try recipe!

If you want to take your love for Nutella to a higher level, spread Nutella on the cookie. Muahahaha.

Hope you enjoy this little post from me!

Love,
E.

Yong Hua Cafe, Satok

This is my first time dining here. Considering the years I’ve stayed in Kuching, this is epic late. This cafe has been here for ages. Why, according to my friend, she’s been a regular since the noodle maker was single.

What makes Yong Hua Cafe so unique is the fact it is one of the places in Kuching where you can get Halal Mee Kolok and Ba Ku Teh! The cafe is located near Satok Wet Market, if I am not mistaken, next to a frozen meat shop, and believe me, it is very packed, hard almost impossible to get to during the weekend. What more of trying to find a table? Therefore, go there during the weekdays.

Anyhow, apart from Mee Kolok and Ba Ku Teh, they also serve a variety of dishes.

Love the simplicity of the menu design

Since I am a fan of Mee Kolok, I decided to give it a try. Ayu ordered the same thing in small and Zarith had the Mee Pok. We shared a bowl of Ba Ku Teh with lots of garlic.

Oh, epic yumminess. Mee Kolok looks simple but oh, the taste, is mind-blowing.

So far, this is the best Mee Kolok I ever tasted. Simply divine! Next time I go there, I want to try the Mee Pok or Kuey Tiaw Sapi. Zarith’s a fan!

I guess it is almost similar to Mee Kolok but I can't tell for sure. I will let you know once I have tried it.

I have never tried Ba Ku Teh before so I am pretty much clueless on how it should taste like, what determines if it is good but I must say, it was lovely. Strong taste of herbs and quite beefy. Kinda warms you up and if taken with the mee kolok, damn, orgasmic. Hehehe.

And this is how we (minus me) looked like halfway eating our meals…

Good food = Happy people

I can barely finished my regular sized mee kolok, Ayu was smart to order small. Oh well, if you’re looking for something different, do try out Yong Hua Cafe.

Love,
E.
