Somehere in the distant past, after an indulgent holiday with the body and mind fully recharged, a dome drink beckons me near a the airport terminal.

Thoughts of ageing the wine in the midst of the lush and dark storeroom cellar of sun-drenched HDB storeroom and finally presenting it to my future wife - seems priceless for the future...

04 Sep 2011 - after the birth of Matthias, the vintage Dome of 10+ years was remembered and presented - it was drunk without the passion and majestic moments as i had imagined years back...

This set the impetus of the cells in the main conrol center racing.... its time to capture all my memories and experiences crafted up there in the form of a blog so that it can be part of the distant memories even though some things can never be much appreciated or so as one may think...

Artisan Pandan Chiffon Cake

Aptly named as the pandan cake, this cake exudes the abundance aroma of the pandan plant. The aroma intensifies after 40 mins in the oven and it embraces the whole living space, beckons you near to the oven.

The pandan cake is a very light cake and the baking method uses a combination of both batter and foam peaks. Fresh pandan leaves and coconut milk are used to enhance the taste and smell.

I would say that the foam is quite interesting to make - beat egg whites till stiff peaks formed - test the stiffness by overturning the pail of whites over your head and it should not drop down. A beyond time experience!! if your whites are unable to hold.

Cooling period - an innovative way to cool your pandan cake before tasting. It reminds me of the yeliu rock formation in Taiwan. Tasting is next and we take pride in calling upon the Khoos for the tasting.                                                                                                                     Review - soft and fluffy, almost velvety texture. Moist and light with a spongy feel. The panel like it - thumbs up.
