10 Sept 2011: E#1 (the 1st attempt)
to explain the title of the post, E#1 = Entremet No.1 (Entremets refers to cakes that are multi-layered, multi-coloured and multi-textured)
I have been planning to bake since exam ended. i did a lot of research, taking down notes, planing and organization. i never thought coming up with an Entremet will be that tough. with many trial and errors to be made. there are so many things to consider. flavour, texture, colour, quantity & presentation. However, these are what i like about Entremets. I might start to be obsessed with them.
finally came up with what i thought will be quite good. however, i should have known not to trust recipes but to taste it and adjust accordingly. the nutella feuilletine at the base is sweeeeeeeet 'dao' i cannot describe =x but i kinda like the subtle feel of the cream at the top. the chocolate was too strong which overpowered the subtle flavours in the Entremet, however, i think that the mixture of flavours were good (just adjustments are needed for the denseness of each flavour). there are some components in the Entremet that i have to change (mainly the texture). oh well i will still be working on this Entremet. so be sure to stay tune for a post on 'E#1 (the 2nd attempt)'
11 sept 2011: Four Seasons & The Lion King
Met up with MAW!!!! my DT buddy~~~ had lunch with her and her family who are all so humorous! it was so nice and fun! We ate at Bayswater Four Seasons followed by The Lion King musical.
the musical was awesome! my very 1st musical in London. the props were fantastic. So were the cast and orchestra. the movement of the animals (done by the cast) were so natural. my very 1st feeling when i entered the theatre was that it felt as though I was there to catch a movie. had a wonderful day thanks to Maw and her family :)
11 Sept 2011: Bloody Pickpockets!
as i had said, i was out with Maw and family. after lunch we went to walk around Bayswater and got into a shopping mall called Whiteley. we went into H&M and shopped around. then there were 2 girls who stood beside me looking at clothes. i felt that she was pushing slightly against my bag. so i stared at her and walked away. immediately she and her accomplice followed and moved quite close to me. Then, i saw her putting her hand on the zipper of my bag. i pulled my bag towards me and stared at her again and i said to Maw, she freaking trying to pick my bag. then the gals walked away but still hangs around the shop. bloody hell, i moved away once, giving you a chance and yet you still wanna try your luck and pick my bag again. i am sure you will get caught sooner or later as your pickpocket skill is terrible.
but to speak the truth, this situation kinda freaked me out. to actually know that they had targeted me and wanna pick my bag, kinda send chills down my spine. F'ing pickpockets, you are pathetic!
Lion King!!! I've been wanting to watch that! Is it as good as they say it is? And your entremet looks good. Looking forward to see how your 2nd attempt goes but by the looks of it, it'll be wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI feel you about the pickpockets. Thank God that they didn't do anything more than try to 'pick' your pocket and also, thank God you were observant enough to figure out what they were up to. They obviously aren't very experienced. Lol.
Yep it is as good! i was quite amazed that it turned out so well. thumbs up!
ReplyDeletekeke thanks.
yea yea with God's grace i manage to avoid from this misfortune. :)
