Every country has its own food specialty like in Thailand with Pad Thai Noodles, and same with Singapore with Singapore Fried Rice Noodles. This dish can be found easily in Singapore or even in Malaysia. But I am not sure if this Singapore noodles originally come from Singapore itself or somewhere like Hong Kong. Because there are saying that the curried rice vermicelli dish was born in Hong Kong.

Whatever it is, the Singapore rice noodles is simply delicious because of the curry powder flavor. One of our friend has requested this dish for his birthday next year. They enjoy the food and got the flavor as well the texture was just right. I am happy their liked it.

Cheesecake Swirled Brownies

Bonjour,

For a couple of week now I have been making and testing few recipes of brownies. These brownies look like the perfect way to celebrate this week. Yesterday was our anniversary, so I made a cheesecake brownies which are our favourite combination and my cake turned out great!

Actually this cake need to freeze for at least 2 hour to set before cutting, but I cannot wait that long to try them that's why my cheesecake brownies looks little bit messy when slicing.

For some cakes like cheesecakes, not only do the cakes look good, but they taste even better one day after it's made.
