Roti Mum

My kids can never resist the wonderful smells that trail from a Roti Boy stall. They love this to bits so I decided to try my hand at making them. Tough part is getting the coffee flavored icing on top of the bun. I added chunky slices of butter inside each bun and that really enhances the taste. Not quite Roti Boy in terms of looks but not too far off as far as taste is concerned. So yes, I am quite happy with Roti Mum!

Babble Breads and Buns

Who would have thought that I would end up making breads and buns myself? Not in my wildest dreams but I did...only because I know how much the kids would relish them...plus I sense that they were getting bored of stuff from the neighborhood bakery.

Making bread without a bread machine isn't quite as difficult as I thought. I made three varieties. A plain variety with just a couple of cheese strips on top for hubby and me, a raisin and cheese variety for Fats and Alien and a hot dog variety for Korean boy since that is his favourite. Wow piping hot breads and buns straight out from the oven really taste so much nicer and add them with a chunky slice of butter.....out of this world!!!

Cooking and baking new stuff for the family is soooo satisfying because they really know how to pile on the compliments and just seeing them devour the food so heartily is enough motivation for me to try anything.
