Carrot Cake Recipe: Source Sophisticated Gourmet




Follow everything but cut down sugar to 3/4 cup for cake, only did half a portion of cream cheese 130g with 75g icing sugar. Sweetness just nice but not enough to coat the cake.  Surprisingly easy to do...
Did not have cranberry and walnut/pecan. So replaced with some raisin, almond and macademia.

NY Bagel Recipe: Source Sophisticated Gourmet

Big savings especially we have been buying lots of bagel. I used to pay $1.50 each or 8 for $7 cheapest...n now it only cost $1.30 to make like 10 to 12 piece..n slice them half before freezing..kids like to have them with cream cheese.

Our 3D2N Staycation-RWS trip Day 2 Part 2

Overall its a very nice trip to come to USS again after 5 yrs...we managed to take most of the rides..and it was only 5-10mins wait...except the scary ones like mummy/cyclone of cos.

Kaylen managed to try 2 roller coster, which she declared they were too scary for her...No more this kind of rides till she is bigger.  As usual, Koko was forever scared of this type of rides..so he think USS is not good for him, Cove is somehow better.

Our 3D2N Staycation-RWS trip Day 1

This is the 2nd time we had staycation, turned out not bad..minus the unbearable heat..it would be perfect.  The trip was booked from rws website at SGD760 which came with 2N stay at Hardrock hotel and 2 adult ticket to Adventure Cove, USS, and Aquarium.  Since we just been to Aquarium last yr, so we let Ah yi and family have the tics.
