It has been a long time since my last post.
I had been away to my home country Malaysia & also visited Hong Kong & China mainland.
It was hard getting back to work after a long & relaxing holiday, so I'm catching up my work & back to my 'old' life.
It was a great trip & I will post some photos of my trip after I sorted them out.
Meanwhile I'm sharing a simple recipe of chocolate muffins.
I didn't have time for food shopping so I used what I had in the kitchen, it turned out great.
Enjoy baking & the sun!
Recipe (10-12 muffins):
200 g sugar
2 teabags of earl grey tea
Peel, core & halve the pears, then combine with sugar & teabags in a large pot.
Pour in boiling water to cover the pears & leave to stand overnight.
