American and the Northern food culture is one of my greatest takeaway ever since I set up my food blog & visited various food galleries. I never like peanut butter until I baked, until I saw one of those best stuffs in Tastespotting / Foodgawker contained PEANUT BUTTER!
Seriously..... don't you love peanut butter?!?! LOL.
These bars' surface were nicely formed :D My only mistake was to overbaked it! Arghs, that seems to be the problem of most cakes especially bars like brownies. It happens to me too often =\

The name says it all!
I had so much fun with this recipe. I swear! It was incredibly moist and soft. Plus point: everybody in my family loves bananas and they're readily available in the supermarket.
I hadn't done a great job though, there's supposed to be two distinct coloured layers (yellow cake on the brown cocoa cake, you can click on the original link to see the cake). I admit I don't know my Malaysia oven as well I know my Singapore's one, the temperature tends to be higher although it is a bigger oven and my pastries/cakes often brown quickly.
Wait, you might be curious why I've been travelling between these two countries and even bake in Malaysia? My dad is a Malaysian and manages his business in Malaysia! :) My mum, on the other hand is a Singaporean. As for me, I'm born in Singapore and is also a Singapore citizen, but since I'm always in Malaysia during the school holidays, I concluded that if one day I'm going to record down my biography, I'd be doing it with the help of a passport. LOL! :D In fact I'm likely to be one of the students with the most pages of my passport stamped because of this frequent travel haha!

I've 2 good news, my Strawberry IceCream Cake is on Foodbuzz Top9! Cheers to my readers and fellow foodies =) Also, I'm now a featured cook on HalfHourMeals! I really like this food community for the same reason as why I enjoy posting at Onsugar (my food blog host). Their editors/staff'd always reach out to my posts and this interaction always gives me the sense of belonging for their websites! You might want to read the post on my interview here =)
Sorry for not updating for the past few days as I was busy following my dad around his work. In fact, I made Hello Dolly Bars on Sunday too. They were delicious, but really messy. Plus I know you won' be convinced just how delicious they are unless I make them again, and make them better than before =P
So what are Hello Dolly Bars? I only know that they are known as 7 layers bars or magic cookies bars, but I've no idea how did they came about. They are really meant for the genuine sweet tooth and seriously, I've never seen a can of condensed milk at home before I attempted Hello Dolly Bars! I love desserts, but I'm health conscious too (that's why I play sports) and condensed milk, in my opinion are way too unhealthy to be consumed. LOL. Wait, I might change my mind now though =P Of course, if you've means to get non-sweet chocolate chips, less sweet condensed milk and layer your bars with more nuts, the results might just be somewhat healthier :D (and they're kids-friendly!)
CUTE EH? My mum loves the coconut! And the topped walnuts tasted almost like caramel popcorn LOL yUmMy!~
