CASTELLA CHOCOLATE-LEMON TEA CAKE

Caught the flu bug and lost the taste bud.  To activate the palette something sweet is needed.

ROYAL CHINA @ RAFFLES

Nowadays it is hard to have the whole family together to go for dim sum as with some of the children overseas and working.  A place was booked at Royal China at Raffles Hotel when one of them is back from overseas.  The dim sum is not bad and some of the food is unique compares to other places.

The area is long in shape and the tables are arranged in 3 neat rows spread across the room


While waiting for the food we were attacking the delicious XO sauce


The century egg porridge is full of ingredients.  Enough to share amongst 3 pax

HONEY YOGURT MADELEINES

Have been wanting to bake madeleines for some time but was put off by having to keep the batter in the fridge for at least overnight before baking.  Not until I came across Anncoo's recipe under her "baked cakes" category that the the cake can be baked immediately after batter is ready for baking.  The purpose of refrigerating the batter is to create a hump in the cake which I find not presentable.
