We were in Malacca last week (our 3rd trip within a year) and i went to try out their cendol again. It seemed better. Looks like their standard is not consistent.Blessed Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280093571105411449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-59426290958495087092011-04-29T09:22:13.732+08:002011-04-29T09:22:13.732+08:00As I was reading your post, I told my hubby, maybe...As I was reading your post, I told my hubby, maybe we should go Melaka. :)KWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990908601723909315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-3697956551364364842011-04-05T08:24:58.141+08:002011-04-05T08:24:58.141+08:00Wow your boys take really good pictures!

It is known as the 3D hot air function. <br /> <br />My previous oven is a small 20-litre tabletop tefal...there is only top heat, no other function. My review here is based on using it as a point of reference. The Bosch oven has got more functions (compared to my old tabletop)...I tried baking cookies on two trays, using the 3D hot air function they were browned evenly...at least I dont have to turn the tray around half way into baking. I made two pizzas on separate racks, both browned/cooked at the same time too. The oven temperature is quite stable...unlike my previous one...which could drop by 20degC after I put in the cake. I tried roasting a chicken, it takes about 50mins to get nicely browned, whereas my previous one could take 1.5hrs. But, it was a tedious job trying to clean the oven after roasting as you need to clean the oil stains at the side walls, since it doesnt come with self cleaning funtions. Do note that my Bosch oven is the cheapest, most basic range, if budget is not a constraint, you may want to take a look at higher range ovens. Hope this helps.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-47679910143576350152011-04-02T22:08:08.706+08:002011-04-02T22:08:08.706+08:00lovely pictures and sitelovely pictures and siteTorviewtorontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453013731812540021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-86492170952908090972011-04-01T14:49:49.453+08:002011-04-01T14:49:49.453+08:00Hi HHB,

Try to take photos near the windows with natural light coming in. Don't take photos under lamps...it will give a slightly tinted yellow colour to your image. <br /><br />Pei-Lin, I remembered telling you that I didnt visit Malaysia for a long time...and the last trip we went was last year...to Cameron highlands...just to let my younger child gets a Malaysian 'chop' on his passport ;) <br />Yes, yes I bought the gula melaka, thanks to Octopusmum for her recommendation.

I'm proud of Melaka, it's my second home in Malaysia. Other than KL, I frequent Melaka the most, since it's my mom's hometown, and we still have a bunch of relatives there.<br /><br />Next time you should try satay celuk! Melaka's specialty, aside from the chicken-rice balls. Erm, did you get to buy any gula melaka there? The one my mom and I have been using is from Melaka. Compared to those in the usual supermarkets, it's unadulterated -- it melts even at room temperature! It's uber dark amber in color. So, we've been storing our gula melaka in the fridge. LOL! (Well, some say the gula melaka from Terengganu is best. I haven't gotten to try that myself, so I can't attest to that.)Pei-Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822262778417710649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-42129106748975937092011-03-31T22:18:17.699+08:002011-03-31T22:18:17.699+08:00Thanks HHB.

If you want to take close up photos, just turn off the flash light and turn on the macro function.
