House guest... Or at least that's what he is called...

alextrg @alextrg (86) • Malaysia 23 Dec 08

Butter flavoured shortening vs Butter

alextrg @alextrg (86) • Malaysia 14 Dec 08

Which is your ammo :) I just don't get it why people still use shortening when we all know for a fact that it's a lot worse than butter, in terms of health and flavour... yes shortening makes the cake last longer, but... why...

Coffee lounge for 'Starbuck Members'

alextrg @alextrg (86) • Malaysia 14 Dec 08

Would you pay a minimal fee for a little lounge for regular Starbucks customers? Somewhat like a private lounge, like what you get at certain book retail outlets. Of course, no screaming kids allowed, no loud laughter, just a...

Allocated 'me time'

alextrg @alextrg (86) • Malaysia 10 Dec 08

Puff pastry

alextrg @alextrg (86) • Malaysia 10 Dec 08

I just tried to make my own puff pastry... And it didn't turn out well... By the 3rd roll, I think I rolled the 2nd time too thin, so the butter just played peekabo with me... Made a simple flaky pastry instead... WAY EASIER.....
