Cinnamon Rolls FAIL!

This Cinnamon Rolls recipe has been booked marked for quite a while now. Since last weekend was a long holiday - I decided to give the recipe a try! And so, I bought all the ingredients and was really excited to bake the cinnamon rolls! To be honest, I was more excited for the frosting! Hahaha..

So there I was, on a hot Monday afternoon - prepping the ingredients. I thought to myself - it was easy! I measured every cup, tablespoon and teaspoon. I mixed everything by hand - and boy was it tiring!

When it came to kneading the dough - I sensed, something was wrong. The dough wasn't as tough as I thought it would be. It was actually jelly-ish, and I had a hard time kneading it because it was sticking all over! I then tried to roll it flat and I was successful. I put on the filling and when I started to roll it - that was when the FAIL started. I couldn't roll the damn dough because it was too soft, jelly-ish and breaking! My Panget even noticed that it was breaking up - he then told me to throw it out and try again. But you see - I spent at least an hour prepping on it and I didn't want it to go to waste - so I just decided to mix them (the dough and filling) together and throw it in a loaf pan and bake it. I'm sure it'll be alright - hahaha!

And so I waited for 20 minutes. I left it to bake and when I came back, the kitchen (and the whole house) smelled sooooo cinnamon-ny!! :)

And here is what happened, the Cinnamon Rolls turned into a Cinnamon Loaf!

I think what I did wrong was use Cake Flour instead of the ordinary APF. But it still tasted good! I like the flaky-ness.

I didn't make the frosting anymore. I have yet to try to make it!

Next time.

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip s...
