Foodelicious!

I have heard of this dessert but never seem to get to try it every time I go to London until my recent trip. Hehehe.. ok, the history of this came from the fact that boys from Eton, the prestigious school for the elite, eat their meringue and cream dessert by mixing everything up into a big pile of mess. After awhile, everyone follow suit because yes, it taste better to eat this mess than the conventional way... Hehehehe.. henceforth, this is known as Eton Mess.

This is basically a meringue that is crispy on the outside but chewy and sticky on the inside dressed up with a generous dollop of cream that is luxurious, creamy and velvety. All these are topped with a generous portion of delicious strawberries that are juicy and succulent paired up with balsamic vinegar. It is suppose to look like a big pile of mess.... dont attempt to make it look anything else... that is the beauty!

To eat, you just need to dig in and each spoonful of this delicious awesome dessert will give you something crispy and smooth, something chewy and sticky, something luxurious and creamy, something sweet and tangy, something succulent and juicy, something to die for.. something that will keep you digging in!!

This is most definitely an awesome dessert.. it is worth every single sinful calories.. it's what life is about! Fun and happiness in every spoonful!! Try this!! Try it even if you dont like sweet stuff!! Nothing makes you feel happy like Eton Mess.

Yes, another food I had in London and miss...... Yes, this is for sale and it is most definitely great for parties!

When I was in London, I stuffed my face with the juiciest strawberries, blueberries, cherries, satsumas, tangerine, nectarines, apricots, peaches and god knows what else! They are so delicious there.. well, what can I say?? These fruits are grown there and they get them fresh.. Anyway, when I got back, I wanted to do a tart with these fruits, so, I created this mascarpone cream for the filling, a very light and crispy crust and the fruits. The result...



This tart reminded me of Eton mess that I tried in London.. all the contrasting texture come together and create an awesome exprience in the mouth! Hahahaha.. and such awesomeness can only bring happy memories and thoughts! For me, that is London and for a lot of people in 4 seeason countries, it can only be summer!

Ok.. I am no big fan of soft like cotton food... For one, I got teeth, for another, I find such food very mushy. I like my food firm and with texture.. so, if you ask me, I am no big fan of the above. I made that because I was having friends over for tea and I know they like such cotton food. Hehehehe..

So, back to this Cloud.. hehehe.. it is easy to make..infact, I used to make this to give away to my monster's teachers during all sorts of celebration. Yup, easy to make, most people like to eat and it definitely look very yumms!

Anyway, back to my little tea party.. yes,! everybody love this.. Heh! heh! heh!.. this with a hot cup of moroccon mint tea....

Did I mentioned that I went to British Museum in London twice? Oh yes, the museum is so big, I had to do it in 2 days.. 2 full days!! And during the 2nd trip back to British Museum, I came across this very unique sandwich... Yes, I was hungry and desperate for a bite!!

I had this really yummy sandwich that had simple ingredients.. roast chicken and rocket.. the combination was simply mind blowing and addictive. I love the way the peppery taste from rocket leaves compliment the roast chicken and tomatoes and other condiments and with an orange juice or warm tea, it is yumms!!

Anyway, since I am back here with no really yummy bread in sight that is REALLY BREAD and not some cottony mush, I set out to make my own bread and create this sandwich..yes, I miss London.. I miss their super delicious food! and I must say, I did quite well with this sandwich. I served them to my friends for tea today! I intend to propose this for parties.. hehehe..

This is a marbled butter cake and weigh in at 2kg. This was sold for RM250.. and yes, hello Kitty was hand moulded using fondant... and double yes! in such cranky weather, it was a challenge!

All of us have one time or another encountered the most dreadful part of life and that is, to have our heart shattered. Most of the time by what GOD said to be the most powerful of all the 3 essential qualities that make us human.. LURVE!

Recently, I observed some of my friends having to go through this painful phrase of their lives. Some are married and at near mid life and wham! they are slapped with such earth shattering pain that kills them emotionally. Heart ache doesnt get any better with age.. trust me, they dont! And what makes it worse is the fact that one has "invested" so much into nurturing the relationship and now it is all gone.. one is so sure about how life is going suddenly turned chaotic and like a storm, it's turbulent and dark. Some of my friends on the other hand are not married and have to face the daunting future of having to start all over again.. back to the dating scene AGAIN. It gets a bit "earthquakey" when that happens over and over and over again..


As I watched my friends struggle through this challenging phrase of their lives, I am reminded of the times I was there. There are some unresolve emotions in me that I have yet to face and have not dare to face up till now.. I am no hero. I am a big coward.. I just avoid the whole heartache drama!! I just refuse to think about it, remember about it, avoid places that reminded me of it, I just wont go "there". I keep myself busy till I am too tired to care, I focus on a new mission, it can be anything from losing those concrete fats that cling onto me with such stubborness like it is their rightful place or it can be to concentrate on some idiocratic thing like trying to understand a french movie! The bottom line is.. DONT GO THERE!!

I refuse to cry or feel the pain until I know it is not so painful anymore. Not so painful anymore is when I can face the one that cause me such pain and not feel much or when anger dont make an appearance or tears wont roll down like a broken dam..It can take a few weeks to a few years.. but when I am good and ready, I will go THERE and redeem myself. In all my heartaches, there wasnt much of a "showcase".. No atomic explosion.. just plain turn around and walk off! It is not my style to waste another breath on something or someone who hurt me so badly. It's also not my style to do a turn around... Sigh... it takes great great effort for me to over come such "quest" and it's not in me to throw away these hard effort and be with that person again. Yaaaa, sigh.. I am not that forgiving...... Not good? Maybe...

Anyway, how do you deal with a broken heart? How can you mend a broken heart?
