Pound Cake
Saw from Sally blog about the cake she bake and that i have not been baking for quite some time and also i 心痒痒，手痒痒, so i decided to try out on this pound cake recipe which i saw from this website Precious Moments. Actually i have printed it out some times ago but have not tried it out yet and also i find that it is quite simple to do. Suitable for people like me, as i 'm only interested in doing simple item. Too complicate item will be bye-bye.
I have raisins at home, so i add in raisins, i forgot that i should have add in the raisins into the flour, instead i add in last, that why the raisins sink into the bottom.Friday, February 20, 2009

开心网友聚会 - 12th Feb
The other day when Sock Peng email me that she will be in Singapore yesterday and today, i was so happy as finally i'm able to meetup with her in person. Yesterday morning, i sms L-5 and ask him whether he wants to meetup with us and he readily agree. We have arrange to meetup for dinner at Ngee Ann City and i also get to meet Angela for the first time.
This box of tau sar phneah is from Sock Peng. I was telling her that actually in the first place, i was craving for Penang tau sau phneah and i wanted to ask her to help me to get it. But in the end, i drop the idea.
