Caldermeade Farm, South Gippsland Highway


On our way to Phillip Island to see the penguin parade, we stopped by this Caldermeade farm on the South Gippsland highway to take a break and to explore and see what's in store for us. 





A wishing well next to the entrance of the farm and cafe and the weather was cold on that day, strong wintry winds.




From this barn, we can watch how the cows are being milked but being year end,  the place is closed for the festive season.


This is the machine that is being used to milk the cows.




This is some interesting information regarding the farm cow's circle of life. 




We enjoyed the cool fresh clean air, had some freshly made scones served with home made jam, cream,  hot coffee and tea before proceeding on with our journey.

    Phillip Island, how I miss the penguins. Went there last June, the little birds looked simply adorable... :) I am impressed with how they waited for their comrades to come onshore before heading home!! :) Hehe...

    Glad you moved away from the city and into country Gippsland. It is a beautiful place isn't it?

    Oh yes, they were so cute, but as it was dark it was quite difficult to spot them at the beginning.

    A bit disappointed not being able to watch the cow milking process.

    Yes it was beautiful, far from the madding crowd!

    I have been to Phillip Island and see penguin parade. But missed out this farm. It seems that you had a great getaway.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Hazelnut orange mini Bundt

Upon going through my cake pans and trays I realised that I had neglected this mini Bundt pan for quite a while.  Hmmm, time to take it out and make use of it.  These mini Bundts were soft and moist with a nutty texture and weren't overly sweet, just right for breakfast or to serve for tea.  The ingredients are a slight resemblance to that for Friands. Recipe for Hazelnut orange mixed fruit mini Bundt Ingredients 180 gm melted butter 75 gm plain flour 150 gm icing sugar 150 gm hazelnut meal 2 tsp finely grated orange rind 5 egg whites 80 gm dried cranberries (chopped) Icing sugar for dusting Method Sift flour and icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Add hazelnut,orange rind, stir to combine. Place the egg whites into a bowl and whisk with a ball whisk till lightly frothy. Add in the hazelnut mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the melted butter and chopped cranberries, stir well to combine. Spoon mix...

Yoghurt Fruitcake

T is the festive season again and the all-time favourite for X'mas is undoubtedly the ubiquitous fruit cake.  This Yoghurt Fruitcake caught my eye when I was browsing through a Food and Travel magazine.  As I've never baked a fruit cake with yoghurt before, I was very eager to try.
