Banana bread with baking soda

http://www.food.com/recipe/best-banana-bread-2886 Quite a wet mix Skimped on the banana - only used 1 - it would have been better if I had followed the recipe. Still tasted good.  

Kuih talam ubi kayu

updated 1 Sep 2017 28 Dec 2016 Decided to make kuih talam ubi kayu as there was some tapioca that's been in the kitchen for some time. After peeling the skin, there was only about 300g of good ubi kayu to cook with. So, only enough for a small tray but it was a delicious tray of kuih. The recipe is good - sweetness, texture, method. http://www.seasaltwithfood.com/2015/08/kuih-talam-ubi-kayu.html So little ubi - 300g - so, used a small dish First taste from corner tips - thumbs up! Tried to cut the kuih nicely 1 Sep 2017 : Second attempt using the same recipe. Practise doesn't always guarantee success but it teaches its own lessons. This time, I grated the tapioca using the food processor's grater. It was more coarse than my hand grating. 1) I reduced the coconut milk to 200ml because I thought the packet 'coconut cream' was thicker than the freshly squeezed coconut milk. Not really. The resulting top layer was a bit flour-y firm instead

Apple muffin

No recipe - I just used the basic muffin recipe and added cubed apples with soaked longan pieces. Didn't have raisins or cranberries at that time. The batter was wet, not over-mixed. The apple taste is quite mild. Longan .. interesting.

Apple yeast bread

These bread look ugly. But ok, they tasted good enough. http://www.fabulousfoods.com/recipes/apple-yeast-bread The dough was very wet Look out for the crust - it can brown and burn fast midway through, also because of the brushing of egg white
