I made a friend through instagram, a doctor who is always so generous in sharing her weekly struggles with her other frontliner colleagues. Astaga please read her latest post to me, heartbreaking! Please Malaysia, wake up from your slumber...

Salam, hi. How are you? Hope you are doing good and keep yourself safe. Our ICU is overwhelming with rising of cases till we have to ventilate patient in general ward. I just lost a pregnant lady due to covid and at one point, we have no choice but to cut her open to save her baby in the icu itself when she was unstable. Sadly the baby died. And the mother succumbed soon after. When we were facing with death, it didnt end then & there. We have to go through with mortality reports and multiple meetings after the death. Especially covid. The pressure is real. We had no choice but start to choose patient with better prognosis to be admitted to ICU. Through patient's history, all due to raya events. We are too tired to be mad and angry. Looks like we cant change our peoples mentality.

I wish I could tag her but then she'll get many notifications from my followers so let's just take in her writing to understand that this..... is..... not....... a propaganda, or some third world order brainwashing scheme. Covid is a dangerous airborne virus, accept it for what it is and take respnsibility for our actions.

One or my Top 3 must-haves as a new mum is a UV steriliser! I’ve been using this @upangsg UV steriliser from @jarronsnco for more than a month now, and it’s super easy to use, and extremely convenient! 😍

I literally only use 1 function, the “Auto” function, and I just have to press 1 button (the Start button), and that’s it! The Auto function runs for 40mins (30mins drying process, and 10mins UV sterilising) ✨

The UV lights will rotate too to ensure optimum sterilising of your accessories. There’s a ventilation mode as well to ventilate the steriliser as and when needed! ☺️

Also, this uPang UV steriliser is currently no. 1 in Korea now, and just made its debut in Singapore too! You can literally put anything inside (except for latex items)! 🤩

Sleek, and hassle-free! Totally worth an investment!! Go and check it out now! ❤️

Rinse, pat dry, and blow dry it with a hair dryer or leave it in the refrigerator for 4 hours to let it dry.
Purpose of the baking soda is to tenderize the suckling pig’s skin.)

Fennel seeds - ¼ cup
Clove - 5
Cardamon - 5
Coriander seeds - ¼ cup
Black pepper - ¼ cup
Bay leaf - 2
Cinnamon stick - ½ a stick

Sheet Pan Stuffed Pastry Pockets
Servings: 8

INGREDIENTS
¼ cup all-purpose flour (30 g), for dusting
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed if frozen
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water or milk

GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar (120 g), sifted
1 tablespoon milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

STRAWBERRIES ‘N’ CREAM FILLING
¼ cup cream cheese (55 g), softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 strawberries, stemmed and diced

VERY BERRY FILLING
⅓ cup raspberry (40 g)
⅓ cup blueberry (35 g)
1 tablespoon sugar
½ tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest

CHOCOLATE BANANA FILLING
¼ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (75 g)
1 banana, sliced

APPLE PIE FILLING
½ green apple, sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

PREPARATION
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to 9x12-inch (23x30-cm) rectangles. Set one pastry sheet aside and fold the other in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise twice, to form creases for 8 pockets. Unfold the pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet.

2. Make the Strawberries ‘n’ Cream filling: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.

3. Make the Very Berry filling: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries, then add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork.

4. Spoon the berry mixture over the center of 2 of the 8 rectangles.

5. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the banana slices.

6. Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the strawberries.

7. Place apples slices in the center of the remaining 2 rectangles, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

8. Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

9. Brush the egg wash over the pastry around the edges and between each filling, then top with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Use your fingers to press the pastry down around each filling. Once tightly pressed, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut out each pocket.

10. Seal the outside edges with a fork. Poke the top of each pocket with a fork 3-4 times to ventilate. Brush the tops with egg wash.

11. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

12. Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and thick.

13. Remove the pockets from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Decorate with the glaze, then serve immediately, or wrap in wax paper and freeze for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster oven.

14. Enjoy!

７．ガイドの円の内側に竹串を刺し、空気穴を作る。
８．冷蔵庫で30分〜1時間冷やす。

（Click the "CC" icon.）
We tried making a cookie in the shape of a mug with hot milk in it using DAISO's "Winnie the Pooh-shaped silicone cake mold". After thinking that we'd love to make sweets like this, we finally stumbled across this Winnie the Pooh-shaped silicone mold. Isn't it's shape and size perfect for mug cookies?! Drawing upon the awesomeness that is the readily available "Chocolate Poteko" snack, we were able to do it! Even just one cookie can be impactful to they could make great presents. We made simple wrapping from wax paper that we also got from DAISO.

*Recipe* (6 mugs)

1. Mix 80g of room temperature butter.
2. Sieve and mix in 35g of powdered sugar and a pinch of salt.
3. Combine and sieve 120g of all purpose flour & 10g of cocoa powder. Mix well as we will be lumping it all together.
4. Divide into 6 pieces, each being around 38g.
5. Put Step 4 into the molds. It's a good idea to turn the molds over and press firmly so no air pockets get in.
6. Press all around the bottom of the small cups along the shape of the guide.
7. Pierce the inner circle of the guide with a skewer to ventilate.
8. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes ~ 1 hour to chill.
9. Arrange Step 8 onto a cookie sheet, put a baking sheet over it, and then another cookie sheet on top of that.
10. Bake for around 35 minutes in an oven pre-heated at 150°C.
11. Allow to cool as-is for 10~15 minutes.
12. Remove the cookies from their molds and cool on a wire rack.
13. Attach the handle using melted chocolate instead of glue. Cool in the fridge. We bought "Chocolate Poteko" that looks like a handle at a 7-Eleven.
14. Put 40g of melted white chocolate on top.
15. Decorate as desired. We bought mini marshmallows, "Chocolate Chip Twins", and "White Crunch" at DAISO. Chill the cookies in the fridge.
16. Finished.

We made the wrapping by cutting 22cm rectangles of wax paper, folding one side of the bottom of the gift bags into a 6cm rectangle and wrapped the cookie.

The delicious chocolate cookie pairs well with the white chocolate and is utterly delicious. It'd also work well with the white version of "Poteko".
