I LOVE You Tiramisu!

Poor darling..  I've been ignoring my poor DOMO! Poor poor DOMO! :(

Well, I'm back... and this time with a brand new camera! :D I finally got me a DSLR, one Nikon D3100.... Hopefully it encourages me to bake more and take better pictures.

I apologize if these pictures look like bad photography - I'm still getting used to my camera. And I'm real sorry if my Tiramisu squares look a little messy - I was too eager to photograph them!

My white chocolate words

And, for the first time my melted chocolate actually turned out pretty well! :D My white chocolate melted and hardened perfectly too... I piped them into words to put on my Tiramisu squares... and decorated my LOVE with little hearts <3

Making Tiramisu is so easy!

Dip your Tia Marias in thick black coffee

Lay them at the bottom of your dish
Spread a layer of Nutella on top
Smother it with Cream cheese topping (cream cheese + icing sugar + vanilla essence)
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top
Decorate
Eat!

Coffee Crave

Coffee is no longer a hobby or a treat for me. It has become an addiction! And judging by the number of pictures of coffee and sometimes tea I have in my handphone, you can tell it has been an addiction for quite some time.

• In the mosaic above, you'll see a cup of tea and a curry puff on a wooden table. That, I got from the cafeteria where I work. The tea costs 80 cents, and the puff 50 cents. It totally perks me up in the middle of a long boring day at work :P

• The cropped image on the left of the top mosaic, you'll see tea with a thick black layer on the bottom. That is one of our favorite drinks in coffee shops. They call it a Three Layered Tea, or Three Colored Tea. It is because they pour it in a way where it has three different colors and layers. Bottom layer would be the thick dark coconut syrup, followed by a layer of milk and a layer of tea or coffee on top. Yummy!

I love nothing more than to order a delicious cup of hot caffeinated drink and enjoy it with a teeny snack. I have compiled some of my favorite places around Malaysia and it's neighboring countries where I've had some of my best cups of java.

• One of the rather interesting coffee I've had were the Vietnam coffee, which drips from the tin sieve above slowly into your cup. It is reallllly strong, and tastes kinda funky.

• Those two long tubes were actually holding sweet thick drinks. I saw them in a night market at Ao Nang Krabi. The coffee, TO DIE FOR!

• Ali Cafe serves delicious Teh Tarik - which means 'pulled tea'. Tea is poured from one glass to another to create a frothy, bubbly top. It's actually a form of art here in Malaysia.

MMm... coffee... Can't go a day without one :O

p/s: Like my mosaic? Made it at PhotoVisi ! It looks so professionally done.. :D

And this sure is a great post for Thirsty Thursday & Coffee Talk!
