Blueberry Friands
I bought a Friand mould baking pan @ the Boxing Day sale and couldn't wait to try out making these .... Blueberry Friands. A friand is a small moist cake made with almond meal and flour which originated from France. I made these from a recipe adapted from Exclusivelyfood.com.au and the verdict .... not too sweet but moist and soft friands, tasted somewhat like muffins and all finished within 30 mins.!

Lunch at Burwood
We had lunch at the ' All people Chinese restaurant ' at Burwood, a suburb not far from the city. It was indeed a very sumptuous meal and I must say that the lobsters we had were value for money. We discovered later that they cost very much less than what was being offered at the restaurants in the city's Chinatown.

X'mas in Melbourne
I'm having a wonderful time in Melbourne experiencing my first X'mas reunion with my family. There's not much of Christmas decorations in the city, so we took a drive to Ivanhoe, a suburb about 20 mins. drive from the city to view the X'mas light displays on houses put up by the residents of that vicinity. Here, I share with you the pictures that I managed to take .....they're just awesome!

Peach Upside Down Cake
I have always wanted to try baking an upside down cake and when I saw the Peach upside down cake in 'My Kitchen Snippets', I bookmarked it. Well, this is my second attempt because on my first try, I used a round springform cake tin. I didn't melt the butter for the topping, instead I creamed the butter and sugar so I thought it would be alright, as the peaches would certainly be more pretty in a round circumference and that was the only round cake tin I have.
After about 10 mins. in the oven, I could smell something and on checking, to my horror the butter and sugar had melted and started to drip onto the pan below! I didn't realise that the butter will melt and then seep through the tin! Fortunately, it wasn't a major disaster, the cake tasted fine, moist and soft, but the peaches looked so 'naked'! Nevertheless, it was a lesson learnt and the cake was finished in two days.

Fruit Tartlet
I made these Tartlets using the silicone boat shaped moulds, a gift from MaryMoh of 'Keep Learning Keep Smiling ' when we met up in London a few months ago. Do hop over to her blog to view her many fabulous recipes some of which are her original creations. These tarts are indeed delicious and will be great as finger food or as a light and refreshing dessert. The recipe for the pastry was adapted from my post on 'Egg Tart'.
