So… I was thinking of a cheese ice cream flavour for awhile and wanted to pair it with nori. This flavour combination is so nostalgic for me and reminds me of my sister, who used to make cheese toasties with seaweed for us. Those were the 90s with no (barely any?) internet, and she wasn’t …
This week for #icecreamdiaries I made Milo Dinosaur ice cream! I really *love* malted drinks, the likes of Milo, Horlicks, Ovaltine. I wonder if it’s because I used to have it as a kid so there’s a huge nostalgia factor in the flavours. In recent times in an effort to cut back on coffee and …
I really enjoy teas that lean towards savoury profiles so genmaicha is right up my alley. With toasted brown rice mixed into green tea, there’s this irresistible added nutty, earthy depth of flavour. Genmaicha was historically consumed by poorer folks as the rice acts as a filler to reduce the price of the tea, but …
When I was studying abroad in Los Angeles for a semester, I took a solo trip to Eugene, Oregon to visit a friend from school who had transferred. I made a stop in Portland to explore the city, had zero expectations, but ended up loving my time there. I stayed at an AirBnB and down …
If there’s any other place you could choose to live in, where would it be? For me, I’d probably choose Portland in Oregon, US. I’ve visited Portland only twice ever and only remember good things, especially the serenity in exploring its charming streets. The first place that comes to mind when I think of Portland …
A few weeks back, an ex-colleague who moved away came back to Singapore to visit. He was always into coffee and recently started roasting his own coffee beans and selling them online. He gifted me a bag of lovely beans and I used them in this coffee ice cream recipe. Poppy with a bag of …
Classic flavours, but with BLACKPINK Oreos. This idea sparked from my colleague’s daughter, who’s a fan of both BLACKPINK and Cookies & Cream. He brought home some C&C ice cream I made and she finished almost an entire pint in one sitting. I don’t know if I should be happy she likes it, or guilty …
Chocolate ganache is one of my favourite frostings, ever: 1) So easy to make – One bowl, two ingredients, less than an hour. 2) Withstands heat well – Especially important in Singapore, less instances of having to deal with melted frosting. 3) Delicious! – It’s chocolate, what more can I say? (So of course use …
I was strolling the aisle of the supermarket deciding what ice cream flavour to make next, and spotted a bag of chrysanthemum flowers. I thought about Playmade’s honey chrysanthemum boba and decided to recreate it. Honey chrysanthemum is no stranger to most folks in Singapore – most of us probably grew up drinking Yeo’s Chrysanthemum …
I was looking for a recipe with a deep, dark colour and intense punch of nuttiness. This recipe did the trick! Using dark sesame paste rather than just dark sesame seeds, both the colour and flavour are really intense. This ice cream recipe is slightly sticky and chewy, my favourite kind of texture for rich …
