The most therapeutic window shopping is to look at the bain-marie in beautiful bakeries. Sometimes I don't intend to buy anything, even when I'm not hungry, I will be tempted to buy one or two cupcakes, maybe some croissants. Here are some beautiful photos of bakery bain-maries for your eyes only...
Feeling hungry yet?

Bun for desserts anyone?
It's kinda weird to have buns for desserts. Normally we all have it as entree. But when you have these buns in your mouth, it's just not weird anymore.
The buns are typical Chinese man dao, lightly pan fried so the skin is crusty. At the same time it's soft and warm on the inside. Then it is glazed with caramel. They just melt in your mouth.
I don't know what the sauce is made of. It looks pretty much like condensed milk. But I taste custard, honey, milk and butter.
I am so sorry I can't tell you where to get this because the shops in China are all homogenous. And I can't read Chinese, so it doesn't help at all.
Introducing the new (but yet not so new) technique in molecular gastronomy (is it the correct term?). Anyway, it's a combination of science technique integrated into cooking method. I believe this method came from France and currently not many chefs use it in their cooking. Do check out the video how cool it is:
If I'm the one enjoying such desserts on my table, it will definitely brings a smile to my face. It is something fresh, something new and something interesting.
Also check out my friend's blog. He's quite a fan of liquid nitrogen cooking and I've seen it in his "
Exploding Strawberry Milkshake" and also "
Nayarit Chocolate Creameux".
I love J.Co Donuts even if people tell me it is too sweet. Who cares, as long as I love it.
So, I recently visited J.Co at Bandung, Indonesia and I was surprised to see these choices as I don't recall seeing any of it in Malaysia (correct me if i'm wrong!). Super cute and it kind of reminded me of McDonald's for some reason!
On the first day, I did not make myself try because I wanted the Oreology instead. Later on I wanted to pack for supper but they ran out of "J.Club Donuts" already. I should have tried the J.Club Cheese and J.Club Katsu!!! It is too late for me to get it now... :(
Now somebody tell me whether it's good or not!!
*Note : J.Co is also available in Malaysia, Singapore and China (Shanghai).

Selamat Hari Raya to all our Muslim readers. Hope you enjoyed your celebration.
Here's a list of typical cookies you can find in most open houses during Raya celebration.
Kuih Makmur - Cookies filled with crushed peanuts and dusted with icing sugar on top.
Kuih Batik - Chocolate cake with crackers in between.
Kuih Suji - It's like Kuih Makmur without the peanut filling and icing
Cornflakes cookies
Almond chocolate - Chocolate coated cookies with whole almond inside
Pineapple tart
Kuih Siput - It's like Sicilian cannoli but without the fillings
These are the usual cookies you can find during raya visits. Of course there are also the usual chocolate chips cookies, butter cookies, chocolate cookies, etc.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday. 'Til then, have a sweet life.
