Cakeview Bakery & Cafe 楓林餅店

楓林的芒果蛋糕超讚 !!!
超市有著一箱箱的芒果熱賣中,芒果季節到了!!!
第一時間想到甚麼？當然不是自己弄甜點，
而是跑去楓林餅店，他們的鮮芒蛋糕真的超棒的!
鬆軟綿密的sponge cake, 淡淡忌廉, 甜味就來自芒果。
自從在上年吃過一次就念念不忘，這蛋糕只在芒果旺季才有,
我早在上年已決定要吃個滿足，今天五月八曰先吃二零一二的第一囗！！！
楓林這店小小的，
可他家的華爾滋奶酪布丁包與鮮芒果蛋糕是我十分喜愛的麭麭與甜點~

Mango Cake from Cakeview Bakery & Cafe is my favorite!!!
Mango season has been arrived and there are lots of mangoes in supermarket.
What comes to my mind when I see boxes of mangoes?
I immediately run to Cakeview Bakery to order their Fresh Mango Cake.
The sponge cake is porous, light and fluffy, layered with whipping cream and fresh mangoes.
I only ate this cake once in last summer, I miss it very much.
This cake is only available in summer time when it is mango season.
I decided to eat as MANY as I want this year, today May 8th, 2012 i have my first bite~
This small bakery got the best Mango Cake.  And their cheese pudding bun is my favorite too.

南亞 South Asia Malaysian Cuisine

咖喱鷄+薄餅 Curry Chicken + Roti

蝦麵 Noodle in Shrimp Broth

本來想去台味軒, 但它逢星期二休息,
我們就去了南亞吃咖喱鷄薄餅+蝦麵~
中午也有不少人在吃,
很多人選了海南鷄飯,
下次我也要試試~
(但是每次我也受蝦麵誘惑...)
Originally we are planned to go Wei's Taiwanese Food Inc.
However, Tuesday is their usual day off.
So we decided to eat Curry chicken + Roti and Noodle in shrimp broth at South Asia Malaysian Cuisine.
There are quite a lot of people having lunch there. 
And most of them order the Hainanese chicken rice, maybe I'll try that next time.
(But everytime I got seduced by the noodle in the shrimp broth...)

蝦湯底好甜啊~
(不知道用了多少蝦殼去餚煮呢?)
如果那參巴醬再加多點, 就更好~~~
配料有蝦, 鷄肉, 鷄蛋, 通菜,
加上油麵與米粉, 好吃!!! 
The Shrimp Broth is so savory~
(How many shrimp shells are put there to simmer?)
If more sambals sauce, it'll taste better~
Ingredients have Shrimp, Chicken, Boiled egg and  Tong Choi, Noodle and Rice vermicelli.
It tastes really good!!!

薄餅夠酥~~~
咖喱汁好吃, 但鷄肉不是嫩的,
我想是烹煮太久吧!?
應該有一大窩在廚房吧!?
Roti is crispy~
Curry is tasty, but chicken is over cooked.
I think because it stews for a long time!?
There is a big pot of curry chicken in kitchen!?

Windsor Arm Afternoon Tea (revisit)

今日到Windsor Arm 去兌現我那張在teambuy買的優惠,
本以為在平日會比較不忙, 可以悠閒的享受下午茶,
誰知道滿滿的都是人, 這次只好坐在廳中間的一張小桌,
桌子是置在兩廳通道的門口, 感覺是挺奇怪的,
上年就是幸運的坐在窗邊, 還有沙發呢~
沒有像上年那樣狂拍照, 因為食物也是一個樣, 沒變!!!
三文治也是青瓜、煙三文魚與鷄沙拉。
Today went Windsor Arm to redeem the coupon I got  from teambuy.
I thought weekday won't be so busy as everyone should be working?
I planned to enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea there, however it was full house today.
And I sit near a door that between the two tea room, feeling quite weird.

味道不像上次那樣驚為天人的美味, Tea sandwiches are quite soggy有點濕濕的,
餡料配合的味道是好的, 面包卻有點太濕。
幸好Scone是鬆軟的, 很香 ~

Devon Cream, Raspberry Jam, Strawberry Jam

而且有鮮果醬, Devonshire (or Devon) Cream 塗在一起吃。

甜品是漂亮, 卻真的不是我所喜愛的。

Long Vacation的開始

第一天的假期開始了，生理時鐘已習慣六點半起床，做了一件一直想做的事-就是弄一頓早餐與家人吃！昨天上完長笛課，跟二嫂去Longo買食材。

第一層是finger sandwich (青瓜芝士)
第二層是黑森林火腿和黑椒火雞肉三明治
第三層是raisin scone (放了太多牛奶，有點濕濕的! 幸好家人還是很喜歡)
第一次用新火爐，有別於178的火爐，終於知道為什麼每個食譜的第一步驟是Preheat, 這個步驟真的很重要！！！
晚上跟熊熊，DaDa and Sau Sau 去天一吃鐵板燒，那裡變大了裝修也變的高檔了，但食物還是和以前一樣好吃！希望下次可以和家人一起去吃~

Angus glen golf club 下午茶

It's a very Big table for 3 of us. 

和兩個中學好友到Angus glen golf club 喝下午茶。
一座大樓有好幾間廳，找了一陣子才找到喝茶的地方，
一間小廳有六、七張枱，我們選了近窗的位子,
沒有甚麼特別的佈置，感覺就是白白的，而我們的桌子有點大，
如果小一點, 大家能坐近一點, 會更親蜜舒服的閒談。

我喝的是Ginseng Goji Tea.

那些是scone嗎? 扁扁小小的，甜又有點乾, 
那些strawberry butter, orange butter不是特別的好吃, 好似icing甜甜的。
Sandwiches很隨意的給，所以不是每款也試了，
那個veggie wrap是有羊奶芝士的，我勉強地吃下，
其實真的不難吃，但我真不愛goat cheese。
我還吃了煙三文魚與吞拿魚，
Sandwiches的造型與味道是普通的ok。
没有甜點, 但一大盤新鮮水果, 蜜瓜、哈蜜瓜、橙、西柚、紅葡萄、青葡萄、草莓、藍莓。



I suspect it isn't the usual place for afternoon tea.
Just today there is a Bridal Shower hosting upstair in the restaurant, so they moved to this small room?
Anywayz, I'll come back for the Mother's Day Brunch. =]  Hope it can "WOW" me.
Around $23 (including tax) per person.  It's a good deal for a relaxing afternoon to chat with your girlfriends.
(Not focus on the food, just a quiet place to chat. hahaha....)
Afternoon Tea only available on Sunday, begins at 2pm.

十天了

三月十一日正式搬入Bianca, 經過這十天的努力,
仍然是有一堆東西等著整理(我承認是我懶洋洋...)
自從房間有了電視、有了電腦, 我就每天快快樂樂。

又因為外面全是泥濘, 即是不會有人到訪,
那麼就等於我還有相當的時間去收拾東西(真是借口一大堆~) 
上次post的是漂亮廚房, 這次來點泥漿吧!  哈哈~ 

在walmart買的$20rainboots

買了detached garage,
這點也令我自己有點驚訝，
那時我只想房子能陽光一點, 有大大窗戶吧了! 
detached的不方便我是了解的，卻還是下了手，

這決定還逼使 我練back-in, 也算是意外收穫，
我這個人不逼不成大器啊~(真該打!)
就在March 17我便慢慢的完成我從考到車牌後的第一個back-in,
在没有人、没有壓力下的成功泊好
( 二嫂說要不要放煙花慶祝，哈哈...)
 除了那麻煩車房外，我很喜歡這房子呢! 
滿滿地裝著我想要的，
無論是每道牆的顏色、 每盏吊燈
(只有媽媽的睡房不是pendant啊~)、
每件傢俱與擺設，我都愛啊!
能擁有這一切，我覺得好幸福、好感恩啊!

My kitchen from there to here

小小的一個open kitchen, 在builder那邊只upgrade了taller upper cabinet, 
還有extent多了廚櫃，更多地方放碗碗碟碟。
加了兩個電制for future under cabinet lights. 
(這兩個小小的電制展開了我和builder的兩次朝早7:30的甜甜圈故事, discuss later.) 

This is another story of why the builder need to break the wall in my kitchen  *sob sob*

Because of this poor electric outlet was hided behind the drywall. 

廚櫃是朱古力色，我覺得是保守之選，現時你去參觀朋友家，十居其九也是深啡色的廚櫃。

本來没想過換countertop, builder 的選擇不多且upgrade價太貴，
卻在收屋後找到一間不錯的造石鋪，就換了人造石(qaurtz) 的countertop，
是喜歡花崗岩(granite)的天然花紋多一點，
但懶惰的我當然選容易打理的Quartz。 
 bathroom也趁機換上granite呢(later再分享)~ 

Backsplash在countertop完工後也貼上了，加上stainless steel appliances, 
這就是我和媽媽的新廚房了! 嘻…
