It was after lunch time on 5 Nov that DH & me went around the shopping mall to explore different spots. Then the fog came running into the mall, hovering over the ceiling, sipping through the entrances ... But it was nice & cool, with temperature around 14-16*C, as we walk around without perspiring like in Singapore.

After a 30 min break at Yong Peng, we continued our journey. That night's weather wasn't too good, kept drizzling. It was raining very heavily when we reached the foot of Genting Highland. Nonetheless, the journey contined. As the bus went higher and higher, I could feel pressure in my ears. Maybe too long never travel on airplane, thus, even this small little up hill journey also can give me such impact.
When we reached the coach terminal at First World Hotel, I could literally see the trees swaying like nobody business, with thick fog hovering around us. I felt like I have landed on a misty wonder land. B-) The temperature was very low, I presumed, because as I stepped out of the coach, I shivered, which I seldom did that. My DH was only wearing a polo t-shirt and he did not scare of the cold at all. I quickly let him had my shawl, but if you know guys like to act tough and he rejected my offer! Ok ok, I let him be and told him if he HA-CHEW, don't come near me >:-<>
The coach terminal at First World Hotel.
We stay at this First World Hotel which is a big hotel, which you can see from the
lobby itself. When we first reached there at about 5am in the morning, the reception clerk
told us to come back at 9am for room check-in. Since we have much time left, we headed straight to the Hotel Casino. :-) Too bad photo taking is not allowed in the Casino, so no pictures to show you.

I love eating bananas, whether ice cream, cake, dessert or just eating the banana itself. Its so fragrant. As such, its compels me to make this BANANA SQUARE CAKE. I got the recipe from here. Thanks Eunice for this awesome recipe. The finished product is a fluffy & fragrant cake. I have added chopped pecans in the batter, adding a crunch to the cake. To me, is quite a big cake. I cut into 16 squares and gave away 6 pieces to my neighbour. The leftover 10 pieces will take me sometime to finish. Here are the pics...
Passby a fruit shop in Toa Payoh and saw a punnet of 3 mangoes cost only S$3.00. Since I have decided to use up my cream cheese & sponge fingers which were lying there for quite some time, I quickly grapped the mangoes and went straight home to start my Mango Tiramisu cake making.
Please pardon me for the lousy assemble of the cake as this was my first attempt to make such a cake. I still need a lot of skills and patience in cake making, as well as cake decoration.
Mango Tiramisu Cake
Ingredients:
30 nos. Sponge Fingers
250g Philly Cream Cheese
2 tbsps Icing Sugar
200ml Whipping Cream
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
Enough Peel Fresh Mango juice to dip the sponge fingers
Method:
I used a 7.5" springform pan which required 20 sponge fingers (each cut into 2.5" long) to surround it.
As for the syrup, I used Peel Fresh Mango juice to dip the sponge fingers.
I sliced the mango thinly and set aside.
It's been a long time since I post some baked goodies over here. I was kinda lazy for the past weeks. One biggest excuse is my work. As exam fever is still on, some parents requested extra sessions for their children. Also, I have morning classes now, as such when I got home, I'm already physicall tired, without interest to bake or even do anything. Hence, the lack in blogging.
Well, few days ago, I decided to bake these cookies so to make my body move to "kill" some of my "lazy worms". The cookies were super yummy, with chunks of chocolate hidden in it.
My DH loves it so much that whenever he comes to the kitchen, a cookie or two will be missing ^.^ LOL
