The Ultimate Carrot Cake

I finally got all the remaining stuff needed to make my carrot cake from scratch.

Mum called few days ago and I told her that I've got the recipe for carrot cake and it's not just a simple carrot cake with walnut.
Knowing that she like to bake as well, I tried to tempt her a little bit more (or rather "api-api her a little bit)

So I added, that it has pineapple and raisins and nutmeg powder !

"WOW....sure ho chiak wan !!!"

So, I can't wait to start and see the outcome looks as delicious as in the photo.


Main ingredients :
Freshly granted carrot, chopped pineapple, plum raisins and toasted walnuts

Ingredients for the Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting :
cream cheese, butter, lemon zest and castor sugar.


Into the over and bake bake bake.



My cake is made out of sweat and blood.
Please don't grate your finger and nail while you grate your carrot.


This is it..................THE ULTIMATE CARROT CAKE !!!


I thought, I would put the the ultimate carrot cake for the ultimate test.

So, I brought some for my colleagues to test.

Fingers crossed.

That day, my department bought the "well-loved" fruit cake from PJ Old Town to celebrate 3 colleagues birthday.
So, my carrot cake was placed next to the delicious and well-loved fruit cake.

Haha..did not hope much at this point as my carrot was competing against the fruit cake (or so I thought).
But I was pleasantly suprise that my cake stole the attention and even happier to have rave reviews on it !

It's so funny that one of them holding my tupperware and asked if she could finish the rest and the other one asked for the recipe.

So, my ultimate carrot cake passed the ultimate test ! :)

My shoe got stolen again !

I can't believe it happened again !

And this is already the 3rd time !!!

This happened 3 years ago and have learned my lesson not to leave my shoe outside eventhough the grilled door it locked.

Now, almost 3 years later the shoe thief stikes again. This time, they stole the shoes INSIDE my shoe cabinet and my grilled door was of course locked and padlocked.

wtf !

I was dumbfounded, that we got hit yet again despite our shoes inside the cabinet ALL the time.
Cursed the thief like crazy and hope that he fell into a drain filled with shit on his way to trade his stolen shoes.

Apart from my nike 4.0 kena stolen, Siong's scholl loafer suffered the same fate !
We were lucky that his Nike was not inside the cabinet on that day.

Once bitten, twice shy....I say 3rd time you got bitten, you fixed not 1 BUT 2 latches and padlock the damn thing.

I cannot afford to take chances any more.

Thanks to dad ! He brought his drill over the weekend and helped me fixed these latches.



With my shoe cabinet looking like this, I hope the thief don't think that I keep some diomand encrusted and gold plated heels inside.

So, "old shoe never go, new one how to come?"
