R & R day ^-^

Took a day off with K and we went to watch the Disney movie ~ "Rapunzel : A Tangled Tale". It was an awesome movie and the characters were interesting and hilarious too. I love the animation, visual effects and the characters were very well drawn and lively ~ Rapunzel's long golden hair was stunning and her big poppy eyes were lovely. Flynn Ryder was charming and funny too. Another 2 funny characters that kept me laughing were Rapunzel's little pet chameleon ~ Pascal and a Palace's guard horse ~ Maximus. The songs in the movie were great and I have posted a soundtrack here ~ Enjoy listening

After the movie ended, we went for our lunch at Sapporo Ramen Bishamon which is located at Great World City. As it was a week day, there were not many customers and their service was fast.

Typical bar counter ~ very Nihon look

We like this Tofu Salad very much ~ very refreshing and the dressing was so tasty.
We ordered additional toppings for our salad. Yum Yum

See the Tamago ~ this is what i like it cooked and goes with my ramen!

Okonoiyaki Gyoza ~ taste good too.

Close-up ~ it makes me salivating!

A little disappointing as the seaweed turned soft on my temaki.

A satisfying lunch & keeps me happy for the rest of the day!

It is 14 days to Christmas & I have yet to finish my shopping

My 2nd attempt in baking the Macaroons

It has been a hectic week and I am down with a bad flu too :(
Weekend is here ~
I finally get to have a good rest and also to sort out my baking class photos and uploaded today.

It was a 3-hour class with BakinCalf on baking the Royal Macaroons. There were 6 of us and we split into 2 teams baking the Plain / Green Tea / Sesame / Coffee Choc Macaroons.

Unlike the chiffon cheesecake and choux puffs which I learnt previously, this Macaroon recipe was a little easier to handle, the process of baking the Macaroons was not so complicated, messy; and not much washing too ^.~

It was such a fulfillment to see and taste the sweetness of Macaroons that I made.
Well done ~ Yipee!

Should be stiff and not dripping

These were all the Macaroons that we made ^.~

Here's the lemon curd for the Macaroons filling ~ yummy Zesty flavor ^.~

Boiling water and sugar till it became thick syrup.

Chocolate Ganache Filling for our Macaroons.

Cheers to my Macaroons ~ Woohooo!

Have a FUNTASTIC weekend to all ^0^
