Chocolate Purple Sweet Potato Two Tone Toast (Gelatinized Dough Method 汤种）

Weekdays means WT needs to fly again, sigh! This week is challenging because Gabriel is down with runny nose and coughs, this means many times of vomitting and cleaning up, sigh! Emotionally I'm a bit tire.

"Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you in easy, and the load I will put on you is light." ... Matthew 11:28-30

Chocolate Purple Sweet Potato Roulade

I could feel the breeze on my face, it was bending branches in the trees. I woke up to my amazed to see the rabbit dressed and had a watch, ran by at full speed, muttering "I'll be late!". There were colourful flowers in the countryside, a sleepy-looking caterpillar laid on a giant toadstool, a cat curled up on the tree's branch.

The Queen of Hearts ate the log with purple swirl without hesitating! What?! ...yes, you are in the Wonderland.

Manage to get a copy of 孟老师's roulade recipes from Kinokuniya, swing into action as I have been long wanting to bake her roulade. For the sponge I'm using the recipe for Chocolate log that used France Style Egg Separation Method 法式分蛋海绵蛋糕。As the filling I'm using her method for Yam Swiss Roll as it doesn't require to whisk the whipped cream, this really save me time on cleaning up :)   

The texture of this roulade is difference from my previous roulades because of the method and almond powder used. The sponge is soft and dense, the taste is better with almond. Oh, dear! time to wake up from my wonderland.  

Steamed Creamy Purple Sweet Potato Custard Bun (紫薯奶黄包）

It has been a while since my last making of bao/ bun. I made these Purple Sweet Potato Custard Buns, WT was around to help me taking care of Gabriel that afternoon. I packed the bao as dinner, we were in a rush to attend the Moon/ Lantern Festival celebration at the Singapore Zoo and we have friends help sampling food too :) Actually it is my first time asking friends to sample my bao.

It was in a hurry to make these buns, I used the straight dough method instead of the usual gelatinized dough method which I preferred. The texture of the bun is still soft when I consumed it the second day, it could be because of purple sweet potatoes added.
