Family Birthdays and Such =)

Well I know it has been eons ago since I blogged. To be honest I'm probably not very good at keeping track of blogging eh? I don't know how some full time bloggers do it. Constantly finding interesting things to say and updates to the world about their life and work. It's amazing actually."Salutes to them"

Anyway a little aside from my work, as I do more picture updates for my Facebook page xiaobycrustz. Here's a little update on what has been happening the pass few months! With Christmas, New Years and Chinese New Years that had came and gone, many things has been happening work wise and also personal wise =) There's been late nights, no breaks, speed bums and not to mention sleep deprivation! But there were also happy moments where we celebrated the festivities and I had a wonderful holiday in between =)

Well during this time, most of my family members celebrated our birthdays! woots~ Lets start of with me =) NOV 14th! Yes I was turning 21. The number which brings you into adulthood, which I'm not excited about =(. Lets just say I rather stay young as long as I can! HAHA don't we all? No, there's was no big party, no drinking the night a way ( probably not too much my style too) But my sister was being her 'awesomeness' queen has treated me, 'the PA with an attitude" to an wonderful italian dinner with the rest of the family at NERO TECA. Here are some of the pictures of what we had..And NO I DID NOT MAKE A CAKE FOR MYSELF lol! in case you were wondering =)

Great ambiance. Where the infamous 'aud and tim' proposal was.

Virgin olive oil and balsamic. I like the bottles eh.

The MENU. Could barely pronounce most of the dish names

MA SISTA! =D

yay! dinner!!

Started with good bread and roasted garlic with rock salt. yums!

You know it's a good bread when you seen this!

Here comes the food!!

Best cabonara I EVER had! I could remember this the most compared to the rest.

Ya don't waste time on salads LOL!

We also had a huge mix grill plate, which was OKLA. I would soooooo trade it for the pasta! Still not too bad.

Then came my dad's birthday which was on the 27th DEC. A few days after christmas =) This time we has JAPANESE =D FUKU HARU @ ampang

Arriving to the place

Looking attentively at the menu

Snapping pictures away! =)

First thing that came! Sashimi =)

Unfortunately for my very pregnant sister she can't have any haha!

Then came the salmon combo thingy. I've forgotten what each was.

But it's GOOD SALMON!

Ahi breaded tuna, good stuff! =)

Soft shell maki..sorry for the blur effect

ready to eat!

Tempura!

My dad's ramen? soba? udon? I've forgotten

My sister's cold soba, since she couldn't have raw stuff

Then came the scallop claypot rice which was pretty good!

Yum! but it wasn't that great the second time..hrmmmmmm =(

Of course I made the cake =) Chocolate mousse infuse with earl grey creme brulee 

Yay! excuse our 'home mode' clothing. I was still in between work that time haha!

Will update soon with the rest of the birthdays! stay tune! =)

Homemade experiments =)

Hello everyone! =) It must be EONS ago that I've post something eh? But nothing really exciting has been happen in my personal life. Of course same ol', making cake at home for some of my favourite clients and some new faces as well =) as you can see in the FB page https://www.facebook.com/xiaobycrustz. Nevertheless I still experiment at home for my family and some of my lucky friend who drop by at the 'right' time haha. It's quite sad that they get the cake trimmings and ends but not a fully finished product, well most of the time, minimise wastage eh? =D So I decided so whip up something from time to time eh. Gives me a chance to try new stuff for the menu =).

The ever favourite fruit tarts =) Colourful, nice textures and supposedly 'a healthier' choice if you go for dessert eh? Look at all the fruits, how can it be bad for you =D haahaha! It consisted of strawberries,mango,kiwi....and grape.

More updates soon =) Thanks for visiting!

Sweet Gifts For Someone Special =)

It's been a quiet week at work this week, so just a little update on what's been happening lately! I had a wonderful opportunity to put together sweet gift boxes for sweet foodies for their birthdays. First up, was from a best friend to another who weren't able to celebrate the special occasion together but the friend was thoughtful enough to get her a sweet treat to commemorate her birthday! Awwwwwww how sweet, right? It was a very important mission, personally for me, as I wanted to make it a memorable gift for them =) Well the second box was from my dear friend to his all so sweet girlfriend for her 21st birthday! This was like an 'extra' gift from what he originally prepared, man he'll probably get 'best bf award' or something after this.hahahahaha! Anyhoo here's a sneak preview on both the boxes.

Consist of all baked goodies from customised butter cookies, giant muffins, brownies and etc.

A little note from us =)

At Xiao's we customise each gift box with any baked goodies you would like to include, but of course to fit your budget as well =)

It was great that I was able to help create the gift boxes and especially delivering them =) The smiles and joy on the recipients faces are priceless! Reminds me why I'm doing this as my job. Well hopefully more happy foodies to come =) That's all for now..more updates soon!
