Made my first Pandan Cake today! The texture was really good, it's actually a flavoured Chiffon Cake. I really like the smell of pandan and I've wanted to make this for a long time but never went to the Thai shop to get some pandan leaves. Finally, today I did!! However my cake didn't work out really nicely because the recipe I used never indicate what cake pan size to use. I've used one that is too small, the cake didn't have enough space to climb up so it didn't rise nicely. I'll definitely make it again as it taste really nice and I still have some pandan juice left.
Other than Pandan cake, I've also made Tomato and Oregano bread. The original recipe I learnt from Joanne was made with Basil but I can't basil anywhere near my place so I substitue basil with oregano and it tasted as good! I've also added some diced mozzarella. Mmmm taste GOOD~!
Dinner was Chicken Noodle, this is especially made for Kenny, he really likes it~! however, the soup was overloaded with chunks of ingredients
too greedy.
I had so much fun making food today, hm...~ Pictures uploaded already.
