Pretty eh? I don't know about others, but the cheesecakes i've baked so far tend to crack on the surface. it's just a matter of HOW cracked it turned out. was fretting about these cracks which just refuse to disappear (like wrinkles and fine lines), when i chanced upon this recipe which called for a "mask" on top of the cheesecake. so the cracked become filled and it adopts a fairly smooth surface. the sour-cream made the cheesecake even creamier (ooh.... just talking about it makes me salivate), and just that little bit of lemon juice and zest plumped up the flavour and texture of the cake. total enjoyment.
last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...
