Durian Butter Cake ~ 榴莲牛油蛋糕

It's the durian season again and I'm sharing with you a simple yet fragrant Durian Butter Cake. This recipe does not use the traditional butter totally, in fact there is oil too. Liquid oil tends to make the cake softer and stays moist longer as it does not solidify at room temperature. This cake is soft and moist with a tinge of durian flavour and aroma.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts. It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.
