Moist Chocolate Cake 3rd trial

I'm good in baking cheese cakes. But, when it comes to chocolate cake, I'm gonna say my chocolate cakes are failures.

I had made two chocolate cakes before. They were all moist chocolate cakes. But, came out as hard as stone (Because I saw the batter was very watery, so I add more flour...and I repeated this mistakes over and over again) though the taste were chocolaty and the sweetness were just nice.

Today, I made another moist chocolate cake again. This time, I didn't add flour. I follow the recipe exactly. So, come out soft and nice.

BUT, the frosting was a bit not smooth, got a bit ketulan-ketulan like that. Very hard and sticky. The texture makes the deco work very difficult. So, the cake looks very cacat. Lol...

After that my mum suggested me to apply some drinking water on the surface and smoothen it with bread knife. It came out well. Not so sticky and hard anymore. The frosting really gloss!! =)

And it looks more neat. =)

When I thought this cake was perfect. After several bites, the sweetness was really killing us we ccouldn't stand it. My dad who volunteered to take this cake as breakfast said he's changing his mind. He prefered white bread instead. Sweat...

Next time better cut down the sugar amount. Haizzz....

Wow. It seems that the reader volume is increasing. Sorry for updating the blog less frequently nowadays.

After Heng's visit, my life had gone back to dullness recently. So, I'm pushing myself to apply for more jobs. I'm putting much hope on every job application. But, unavoidably, there are tonnes of job applications got rejected (not shortlisted). Sigh... Very down lo. Suddenly don't have the courage to apply for more jobs already.

Went to waterfall with Heng last week when he came visit. Took some pictures.

We din play water but we were soaking wet because of the heavy rain when we reach the top. Enjoy the time when he's here even when we just stay at home doing nothing. =)

I was almost bored to death these few days. Luckily yesterday went to Rui's house for Seong Chuan's birthday celebration, with Hazel, SK, SC and Rui. Actually just had some drinks and blow some candles. And listen to Rui's stories. At least it made my day la.

Then today I was given the task to prepare lunch. The food were fixed to a fish. So, it's up to me to pick another two. The fridge got not much vege actually. Bitter guard, radish, spinach and a choi sam. So, I picked choi sam, easy to cook ma. Haha...

Then, for the last one, I ran out of idea oredi. So, I went online and simply typed "French Cuisine" (Becoz I just watched a Taiwan entertainment show about French restaurant). I picked the first website and chose the express recipe part. Then, I chose omelet. Becoz I wonder how French omelet will differ from Chinese one.

Came out no difference at all lo. Even the butter taste din make much difference. (-_-)|||
Dunno it's my problem or it's really just the same.

Sorry yea. No picture illustration for the omelet becoz I was too hungry I ate half of it then only I realised I havnt take the pic. =P

Then just now ate durian ate until my tongue numb. Sound very ridiculous, but it was very true.Today's durians were very nice, very strong alcohol taste and hence the ability to numb my tongue. I wanted to finish all. But, I can't take all at once. So, I went to had some salt water then only continue eating. Damn scary man. But, having the chance to eat a good durian, I won't mind my tongue being numbed by the fruit king. =P
