Recipe taken from Serious Eats – Lemon Olive Oil Cake. 4 eggs.
Beat the egg + sugar(recipe specified 1 cup sugar, which is about 180g, but i used only 130g of caster sugar), beat till it become pale in color and sugar melted.
result after beating sugar + 4 eggs for 5 minutes
add in 3/4 cup of yoghurt, bought this from local indian shop, homemade by them(i think). this package should be around 3/4 cup?! hehe
lemon rind from 3 lemons, remember not to grate the white part of lemon skin, else it will taste bitter.
drizzle in olive oil, make sure it is a small and steady stream, so that an an emulsion can be created. Recipe specified the success of this cake depends wholely on how good the olive oil is, but here i am using a really cheap olive oil from Cold Storage house brand – First choice, using extra virgin olive oil will prolly yield better result.
the flour mixture(superfine flour/Pau flour + baking powder + soda + salt) which been sifted 3 times.
mix the flour into liquid ingredient
continue mixing till it is well combined and not too mix too much for cake else glutens form will result in tough cake.
Bake at 160 Celcius (325F) for 40-45 minutes
Taste like a light butter cake, the lemon flavor is subtle, not as strong as i would like. Crumb is light, not bad.

A porridge restaurant behind Carrefour Kepong. A street behind Bel Pasto Restaurant, serving crab porridge from Penang
Crab Roe porridge, one whole crab is used for this bowl of porridge, good to share between 2 person. RM16, nice and the crab is fresh, but felt thirsty after having this bowl of porridge. Business is not so well although the porridge taste quite awesome, there is 2 type of porridge: TeoChew or normal porridge, above is Teo Chew style(rice in soup, instead of the more fine gruel type)

After dining in Papa John’s in Berjaya Time Square, i still not understand what the hype about Krispy Kreme and Papa John’s is all about, as i find their fare to be mediocre, probably american food doesn’t really suit my tastebuds 😛
We had the set for 2 person, above thi bread stick served with pizza sauce
Texas heat, pizza with sliced jalapeno pepper, not a hint of spiciness, just sourish taste 😛
I find their pizza to be mediocre, although it is healthier than the oiler Pizza Hut, their specialty of serving you whole jalapeno pepper, pizza sauce and garlic sauce. I find their garlic sauce to be more of melted butter with garlic, not very pleasing to my palate… This whole meal + tax add up just short of RM30.
