[MTL] Nonna’s Bakery – Rosetta

There are more and more restaurants opened in the St-Henri neighborhood. On the bustling streets of Notre-Dame, right across my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant Sumac, lies Rosetta – a charming new Italian & French bakery and patisserie. Paying homage to Rosetta Sciortino Cammalleri, who is the mother and grandmother of owners, Maria and Rocco Cammalleri. Everything offered at the store is homemade where, many of the dishes are recipes that have been passed on through generations. Serving a vast assortment of sweet and savoury delights, at Rosetta, the secret ingredient is.... “family”!

[Recipe] Worth the Wait – Whole Wheat Cinnamon Buns

Cinnamon buns (or rolls)... How should I begin? It the food that I can have it any time of the day, breakfast, snacks, afternoon snack or even as dessert. I have a soft spot for cinnamon buns, because it was the first western "dessert", as I would used to refer it, I had when I was a kid. It was also my first encounter with cinnamon, and since then, it's my favorite spice. Nonetheless, traditional cinnamon buns are high in sugar and calories, not to mention the icing. This no-butter and no-refined sugar recipe not only cut down the calories, but also incorporated some fibre.

[Recipe] Summer Palates – Japanese No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

There is a lot of variation of no-bake cheesecakes, but this Japanese style no-bake cheesecake is perfect for amateur "baker" that doesn't require an oven! A fridge is sufficient, and I'm sure you definitely have one at home. You might also have another question, what makes Japanese style no-bake cheesecake different than other no-bake cheesecake?

[Recipe] An Eurasian Dessert – Sugee Cake

While my friend, Cher, and I were planning for our Southeast Asian-themed cooking party, she suggested to make sugee cake for dessert. I've never heard of sugee cake, so I had absolutely no clue. However, I soon found out what this nutty dessert is all about.

[JP] Fruit Tartes Heaven – oHacorte

oHacorte, a cafe specializes in fruit tartes, is the most popular dessert spots in Okinawa. It is popular among the locals and the tourists that it has 4 locations in Okinawa (5 included the store in Naha airport), and they are slightly different in styles. We went to the one in Minatogawa, which is the original store, after grabbing coffee at Cerrado Coffee.

[HK] Delicate Dim Sum – Yan Toh Heen (欣圖軒)

When one's in Hong Kong, I don't think there's any reason for not having dim sum at least once. Located in the Intercontinental Hotel of Hong Kong, Yan Toh Heen is recognized as one of the world's finest Chinese restaurants that specializes in Cantonese cuisine, and also the recipient of 2-michelin stars!

[Recipe] Addictive Afternoon Snack – Pumpkin Mochi Cake

Pumpkin, or squash, is the most-talked food during the fall. It's also a very versatile ingredient that can be made into sweets or savory dishes. The vibrant orange/yellow color also makes the dish presentable. Moreover, pumpkin is a good source of vitamins, such as vitamin E and B6, and has low glycemic index. This pumpkin mochi cake is very easy to make, and tastes the best when serving straight out from the pan.

[Recipe] Oh-so fluffy – Buckwheat Soufflé Pancake

Pancakes used to be my favorite type of breakfast when I was a kid, especially those classic buttermilk pancakes. As I'm older, I become more of a french toast person. Japan, one of my favorite countries in the world, is known for their creativity, including food. Pancakes are quite popular in Japan. Since the Americans can make "cronuts" (aka croissant + donut), why can't the Japanese put soufflé and pancake together? It maintains the versatility of pancakes, but also has the airiness of soufflé. Definitely perfect for brunch, afternoon tea, or tea.

My friend and I had been following Tasty for a while. The videos that they made for each recipe seem so simple that anyone can do it. Therefore, we decided that it is time to try it out! We chose 3 recipes that intrigued us the most, and this Chocolate Almond Braid was one of it, however, with a twist. ;)

[Recipe] Taste of Southeast Asia – Kaya toast with Homemade Butter

Kaya toast is probably one of my favorite Southeast Asian snacks. If you have never heard of "kaya", it's pretty much like a coconut jam. It's a spread, which is made out of sugar, coconut milk, eggs, and pandan leaf, hence the green color. The word "kaya" means rich in Malay, hence represents the texture of the jam. It's creamy, smooth, and full of flavors.
