Le Big Bake Off.



The weekend in short was fun and relaxing. Saturday was spent at home, test baking, preparing for the bake competition at House that was to be held the next day. Basically, the competition had a bake theme.. to bake anything that has a green ingredient. I did a green bean tea-ramisu and a creamed spinach quiche. I wanted to do a L'opera with mint and pistachio but I didn't really have much time to prepare for that so I just stuck with the first two.

So sunday, my two girls were there and dear Rach dropped by after church so all four of us had brunch at Barracks after the judging period when the judges were deliberating. In the end, I got in 2nd place. I was really glad and relieved because I felt it wasn't my best. Not that I'm complaining, I'm content. :) It was good fun and I really enjoyed myself. Talking to the other talented bakers and exchanging conversation with the wonderful people that were so passionate about baking. It was great.

Judging from the pictures I see of Singapore on my friends page, I assume it's basically the best place ever.

• every place has big windows and great lighting and furniture
• there's food EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME
• there are a ton of cute girls in the places with the windows and the food

Congratulations!
I feel like having a piece of everything up there. The green tea-ramisu seems to take quite abit of effort? And i happen to so love green tea. (:

Totally honest & not being bias, I think you'd have crushed the competition if you did the L'opera cos damn I swear my nose bumped into the screen when I set eyes on the tea-ramisu & spinach quiche. Definitely beats all those muffins. :D

& I guess grey cos haha I cheat I know Aron!

Green Tea-ramisu!! Just the sound of it is great. Oh & your eggs benedict looks good lah!

Anyway, I guessed grey for the brother, but I saw your answer in the first comment already. Somehow, he doesn't look like you but yetttt looks like you, am I making sense? Haha.
