Macro Pierre White Steakhouse and Grill

Macro Pierre White Steakhouse and Grill in Dawson Street, is always my favourite.  Went there again for lunch and surprisingly found out the lunch 2/3 course menu included the oh-so-famous Macro’s Bread n Butter Pudding!!! Hooray!! Such a generous restaurant! We have ordered the Soup, Roast chicken and beef stew, simple but delicious! And of course the BnB pudding as the perfect finishes of da lunch! ^^

Hummingbird baking fever @___@

I am officially stepped into the Hummingbird cookbook baking fever!! I am now fully loaded with pure sugar! Can cakes really be healthy? To be honest I don’t really care, I just found baking extremely relaxing and good way to hide myself away from the kids ^___* well…when they didn’t ask you whether they can help…..oh, don’t judge me here yet, I do occasionally enjoyed baking with kids ^^

OK, so far, I have done the oh-so-famous Red velvet cupcakes (which the creamcheese icing didn’t really set as I was suddenly health conscious about the written amount of icing sugar I have to put in!! trust me, its shocking!). I have also baked the Original Amercian chocolate brownies that I quite pleased with, and also my favourite Banana bread, which no one really eat banana bread in my household beside myself! Who cares, I am going to polish it all up ^^

Ok, I believed more recipe in the book to go!! ^^ Happy baking!

Egg tarts ^^

Was tempted to try this Egg Tart recipe for ages, finally got my head on it!  Yes, here I am talking about the Chinese dessert egg tart, which you may able to try them if you go to Dim Sum lunch at a chinese restaurant ^^  My dear son adores them..so let’s try to make them at home!IMG_9282IMG_9283IMG_9287IMG_9284

It’s actually easier than I thought..and the result–My dear son polished off 3 in a roll!!  I have even used the left over pastry to make some cookies ^^ hehe yes the Christmas’s cookies cutters!

Rain rain goes away!!!

Omg.. It’s been crazily raining/snowing/hailing the last 24 hours!!! Maybe more than that… I really cannot recall the last time I seen this much of rain! A very wet end of March with an average 4 degrees everyday =____= this is distressing…

Well, life still goes on, school runs, supermarket trips, library etc.. The different is just we are now finally used to the wet from head to toes feeling after 3 years in Ireland! But funny enough, the weather doesn’t seems bothering my 3 years old at all.. Scrooter with wellies in the rain, yes, even still have a big smile on her face ^^ blessed x

Only took able 30 mins for preparation, not bad as a more complicated cake, another 40mins in the oven, and what a success! Yummmm and best is served it warm with some freshly whipped cream ^^ heavenly !!

Kinder surprise giant Easter egg!!

More than a month ago, my two rascals happened to spot the early Easter chocolate eggs on sale on the supermarket aisle, and surely they have both set their eyes on the huge gigantic Kinder Surprise Easter Egg!! So I’ve promised by the time is closer I’m going to get them both each of these..

Since then.. These gigantic eggs are nowhere to been seen… Started to get panicky attack poor mummy made the promise and how on earth I’m going to deliver the gigantic egg with toy inside! I’ve found them today finally!!! In Dunnes!!! Thx god x x x you are really listening ^^
