Fluff Bakery

The other day, I went to Bugis to meet my friend. Bugis is a gem for halal eateries, but it's so far from where I live, which is in Jurong. (First of all, the definition of 'far' for people who live in Singapore is a bit different from normal version of 'far'). But some places are definitely worth the trip, like this bakery on Jalan Pisang.

Initially, we went to Jalan Pisang to have lunch at this halal cafe (hopefully, I can tell you all about it soon). But we were there at almost 12 pm and the place was still closed. The sign says it opens 12 pm.
Meanwhile, across the street a small line was starting to form in front of this charming chic little bakery. You can see the people inside bustling about, getting ready. I was beginning to get curious, then I saw this sign up front.


Then I started to think that, 'Hey, maybe joining this line is not a bad idea, number 2 and 5 seem great!' And so I did.
Look at the 'Closed' sign on the window. They're so busy they didn't even have time to flip the sign over when they opened for the day.



My decision to queue was made even more so after my friend commented that this bakery is always sold out by mid afternoon.


When I was able to get inside the small air conditioned room, a sweet smell was wafting in the air. Can you imagine coming to work everyday to a place that smells like this? How can you stay thin??


These are only some of the spread they have for the day. But my eyes were fixated on the 'Speculoos Liquid Cheesecake Pretzel'. What does speculoos even mean? I don't know, but it's going to be on my next shopping list. For now, I'm sticking to the Nutella Brownies and the Sea Salt Chewy Chocolate Cookies.

After we paid for everything (my friend also bought some cupcakes and cookies for her), we went to have lunch. But while we were waiting for our food to be served, I cannot resist to take a peek, or maybe a small bite or two into the sea salt chewy chocolate cookie. So, I took one out and shared it with my daughter. In all fairness, I did eat more than she did in the end. I'm so ashamed. At this point, I was beginning to think my diet was a myth. I only imagined it, but it was actually nonexistent.


It looks like a normal everyday chocolate cookie, except for the sea salt granules on top. Then I took a bite...............................and my mind went blank (read: buh-lank).
I really did not expect it to be that good. I mean I had high expectations, but I really did not expect it to be that good (did I just repeat myself?).

I felt the crisp as I bit into it, then the chewiness of the cookie dough plus the chocolate lent a small yet needed resistance as the bite gave way off the whole cookie (am I making sense?). It was chewy, gooey and overall yummy. It was insane. I have personally never tasted a cookie that good (and I've had a lot of cookies in the past). Had I known, I would've made a zen moment video out of it (like the one I made for Streats HK stewed beef noodle).

This is what I was talking about
It was one of those moments that change your life, you know. Another moment like that, that I can recall, was when I first tried the salted egg yolk crab, photo of which I put up on the front page of this blog. It's a reminder for me, of how strongly a food can make me feel. Oh my Tian, I need therapy.

Anyways, for me the sea salt is not much of a unique addition to the overall taste of the cookie, but it is there to wet your palate, to get it ready for what is coming next. It's a needed element to make this cookie even more marvelous. Otherwise, it would just be a normal yet super delicious chocolate cookie.
The sea salt makes it superb, and now it has a special place in my heart.

And so, I have decided to make this cookie my latest adversary. I had 3 that day, on top of the brownie. What is going on??*carrots for dinner*

Oh, speaking of the brownie, the Nutella Brownie I bought was also quite good. But it paled in comparison to those d*mn cookies!
The best I can say about the brownies were they're above average. Will I buy it again? Sure. It's a good brownie. It's crispy on top, it just crumbles as you sink your teeth into it, the inside is moist, chocolaty and addictive too. I couldn't stop stuffing my face even if I wanted to. Someone help!

But the main reason I would travel all the way to Bugis from Jurong is definitely for those cookies. They are heaven! I hope you can have a bite of it too.

    kak, speculoos is a must try! I tried it first around a month ago and now it's my preferred spread for my daily breakfast toast, even more so than nutella <3

Sambal Goreng Ati Ampela (Spicy Chicken Liver and Gizzards)

Boy, the sound of this dish sure is extreme when you translate it into English. Reminds me of Halloween somehow. But hearing it in Bahasa delivers a calming sensation to my nerves. ' Sambal goreng ati ampela ', I associate this with deliciousness, bursts of flavor, and family :D. But, still, basically this dish really is chicken liver and gizzards cooked in chili, and if you're not used to this type of eating, then this is extreme for you, while it's like candy to me :P. Indonesia has many varieties of sambal goreng , every region has their own take on it, this is only one of them. This is the sambal goreng I grew up with, even though nowadays my mother has altered her recipe, but this is the flavors that I recognize and will soon share with you (complete recipe in the bottom of this post). What I've done here is I've cleaned and cut up to bite size pieces all the liver, gizzards and hearts. I should have showed you how it is done, but I forgot to...

Swee Heng Bakery

Since I moved to Singapore in 2008, there has been a lot of adjusting to do, even until today. The difference in culture, habits, the way people talk, the way they walk, the way they eat, make friends, even the values that we hold, are different, even only slightly. But one thing that was and still is quite the big adjustment for me and my family is the fact that we, who come from Indonesia, where Muslims are the majority, have found ourselves becoming the minority in Singapore. This means, that when we go out to eat, there's a lot less options for us to choose from. A simple thing like one of my favorite snacks in Indonesia: Shihlin Taiwan fried chicken, does not have halal certification here. 'Errr, does that matter? It's still chicken.' Well yeah, but the chicken has to be halal (processed according to Islamic Law), then we can eat it :). Anyways, so this means every time I see a halal eating establishment, I get all excited. Especially, when they really know w...

Gulai Kambing - Mutton Curry (My Mother in Law's Recipe, so you know it's gonna be good)

I am so passionate about this recipe, because it tastes so good, and the gravy is very very rich! The first time my mother in law taught me how to make this (it has been a special dish in her family for a long time now), I knew I was learning something special. And I was right. This recipe now has been a favorite among my family and friends. A memorable reaction from a colleague was when I saw her quietly eating the curry by herself, and I saw her opening and closing her eyes in response to the burst of flavors from the curry :D. She then shook her head (in amazement.....I hope).  I know that sounds exaggerated, but it was truly what happened! I mean, I cannot blame her.... If this does not look beautiful to you, I don't know what it is. Surprisingly, the recipe for making this is not at all complicated, but it is troublesome. The total cooking time for me was about 4 hours, to cook all the meat until it's tender, and the gravy to become like that :). But let me tell ...
