French Sablé Biscuits


Green tea & Chocolate Almond Sablé

Sweet Passion
Sablé cookies are a classic French cookie originating in Normandy. Sablé is French for "sand," which refer to the sandy texture of these delicate shortbread-like cookies. It's good to serve with tea or coffee for high tea. I am making two recipes today. Green tea and chocolate almond. The Green tea sandy texture come with bitterness of the matcha which I like very much, while the dark chocolate almond recipe is pretty bitter too. This homemade Sablé biscuit really beautiful and delicious.

Montad Chuame


Thai Candied Cassava

Sweet Passion
This is a most authentic Thai dessert that so simple to do yet so delicious. Basically only few ingredients needed for this simple recipes. A good montad chuame should have cassava that gives a good sticky, chewy bite, tastes sweet all through, and the coconut milk should be fresh, thick and fragrant. I did a slight twist of the recipes in order to suit my taste bud better. Instead of castor sugar I decided to use rock sugar, vanilla beans to bring out the full fragrant and some sea salt to balance the sweetness with saltiness. Tastefully done and amazingly delicious.
