Bake for My Loves

One of my niece is going to Shanghai for her school work attachment and she is going to be away for 5 months. I gather the rest of my angels to have a dinner with her, and her request to eat pasta, and yesterday night, Eight of us (6 angels + 2 old folks) went to Cujini Restaurant at Club Street, Boy! we loved the food that we ate. Actually this is not a special day, it just an excuse to eat together.



Before, we went to the restaurant, 2 of the angels came to my house to watch 3D movies on my TV. Knowing that they liked to eat brownie, took out Daniel Tay's Dessert book and tried out the recipe, I did try one of the chocoate mousse in the book and I liked it. Found that the portion is too big, I halved the recipe and baked in a 8" x 11" x 1.5" baking tin.

Below is the recipe extract from the book
