Chocolate Malted Cupcakes

Whipped up some chocolate malted cupcakes for Justin's 25th. He's a sucker for fountain soda, that's why I added the malt.


In case you do not know what malt is :

Wikipedia: The term "malt" refers to several products of the process:

• the grains to which this process has been applied, for example malted barley;
• the sugar, heavy in maltose, derived from such grains, such as the baker's malt used in various cereals; or
• a product based on malted milk, similar to a malted milkshake (i.e., "malts")

The icing got a little messed up while I was transporting them. Not to mention the scorching heat from the Malaysian sun. Sigh.

I liked the malt taste though. It had this zingy sort of feeling, something different in a cupcake. I'm definitely putting this on my bakeshop menu.

Dinner at Ming Cuisine

I took all the pictures without any flash this time round.

Was feeling a little lazy, therefore there's only 1 miserable picture out of the many dishes we had.

Stuffed crab.

Just the usual wine & dine (& chai mui) crowd.

Brought the chilled mango cheesecake for dessert though. More pictures on that in the post below.

Chocolate Muffin with White Chocolate Chips

Being adventurous by adding in the white chocolate chips.

The muffin turned out really well; being moist and chocolatey. However, the white chocolate chips addition were a big no no for the muffin. Definitely better off replacing them with nuts instead.
