Pastry Fruit Cake II

After my first attempt on this pastry fruit cake some time back, my kids have been pestering me to bake one more for them as they love it. Saw some Korean strawberries and blue berries at the NTUC so I decided to fulfill their wish.

I must admit that this is a very addictive cake. It has great texture and goes well with tea! This cake is definitely a keeper!!!

PS: , I didn't add any icing sugar on the top as I wish to cut down on the calories intake.

Luncheon meat bun

I was at the supermarket looking for Korean strawberries when I suddenly recalled dar dar mentioning to me about one week ago that he misses luncheon meat bun.  Since he Bday is coming soon, So I thought it would be nice to start some pre Bday surprises for him by baking him something he likes.  So I bought a pack of bread flour and a can of luncheon meat. (^,^)
