Sunmerry Bakery Treat

Asian pastries and desserts are the bakery's specialty. Getting my favorite bread, pastries, and cakes from there has become a favorite spot of mine. I'm treating myself to some cream puffs, pudding, and brioche donuts this time.

He cannot become a doctor anymore, but he still has the desire to bake and even open a shop. He's worked hard to get the license and now he'll work hard to open this shop and make cakes and desserts. Oh that ZeRui would come and eat his desserts and fall for him all over again.

Penghu Island Brown Sugar Steamed Cake

Brown Sugar Steamed Cake 黑糖糕 is a specialty in the Taiwanese archipelago called Penghu. It's fluffy and slightly chewy with a deep molasses flavor. What's challenging about this particular cake, is that the flavor is a very specific Taiwanese brown sugar flavor: it's not as sweet as the conventional brown sugar from your local grocery store and it has this rich, slightly smokey-salty aroma to it. You CAN find Taiwanese brown sugar at some East Asian grocery stores or order it online somewhere, but I don't like waiting for ingredients to come in and I wanted something with ingredients that are a little more accessible.

This recipe does have sweet potato flour and this kind of flour may not even be on your radar. (You may not even know it exists!). Thanks to the growing demand and need for gluten-free, you can find them in most grocery stores. I stuck to the Taiwanese sweet potato flour that I already had in my pantry.

For two 6-inch cakes:

1 cup + 2 tablespoons muscovado sugar

3 tablespoon molasses

1 1/3 cup hot water

1 1/2 cup cake flour

3/4 cup sweet potato flour

3 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon honey

1-2 teaspoon white sesame

Dissolve the sugar and molasses in hot water. Set aside, until it is completely cooled. Meanwhile, line two 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper, enough to line the sides and bottom of the pans.

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, sift in cake flour, potato flour and baking powder. Gently stir in the sugar-water mixture until just incorporated (a.k.a. leave the lumps). Stir in vegetable oil and honey until incorporated. Divide the batter between the cake pans. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.

Fill a large pot with water, until it is 1/4 filled. Using a vegetable steamer, set the cake pan on top. Steam for 20 minutes -- covered -- or until the center of the cake is set. Repeat with the second cake. Let the cakes rest and cool completely before cutting and serving.

Bubble Tea

Catching up with loved ones and listening to our favorite music while we chewed on our tapioca pearls. Much has changed since I was first introduced to bubble tea, but my love for bubble tea has not. The traditional milk tea is my favorite. The sweet, creamy beverage of strong tea, milk and those addictive tapioca pearls is something I crave so frequently. Have you got a favorite flavor of bubble tea?

Picked up a couple of snacks from Wu Pao Chun Bakery (吳寶春麥方店) in town. The first is German Pudding Tarts (德式布丁挞) at S$2.30 each. Not sure why it wasn’t called egg tart as this sure tasted just like one. This one used shortcrust pastry rather than the flaky pie pastry. The pudding surface is lightly caramelized just like Portuguese Custard Tart (Pasteis de Nata).

They named this loaf of bread – Spring into Life (葱上云霄). Baked with sweet, caramelized onions with cheesy crusted top. This S$5.20 savoury loaf of bread is good enough to munch on its own or with a piece of ham.
