Pecan Sticky Bun ...

When I first saw Wendy posting this , I immediately fell in love with it . I have always love caramel and nuts , not to mention cinnamon rolls .. LOL ... The only problem I have is , I don't own any bread machine , which make the process of kneading a bit tough for me as I have to either use my pair of hand or the mixer to do the job ... Poor mixer ... LOL... Since I have to send my mixer back for warranty claim , which means I won't be able to bake any bread or buns for the time being until my mixer is back. All simply because I am lousy when it comes to kneading sticky bread dough...

I love the taste of this bun . This is definitely a keeper. I did reduce the amount of honey and golden syrup to half of the original recipe.  It turns out to be superb. No words can actually describe this yummy buns. You have to try it yourself to know it ... LOL ... I have to thanks Wendy for sharing this great recipe .

Please hop over to Wendy's blog Table for 2 ..... or More  for the recipe . I am glad to visit all my favourite blog during my free time. Browsing thru their post makes me wanna try all of it ... LOL... then my "to-do-list" is growing yeah .... Enjoy your Pecan Sticky Bun yeah

Stir Fry Butter Squids with Ginger and Garlic .... and not one but 2 Awards

I seldom post about my cooking, not because I don't cook often, but its because everyone seems hungry and can't wait to sink their spoons and fork into the dish before I can even lift up my DSLR.. LOL.. Since I reach home early yesterday , I actually have some extra time to prepare dinner earlier and take a few shots of the dish.

This is actually a very simple yet tasty dish . It took me less than 20 minutes to get it ready to be serve on the dining table . Simply irresistible dish . Try it yourself and you'll know what I mean . I remember getting this recipe from one of my very old recipe book , but I can't quite remember which book .I am so used to preparing this dish , I can't quite remember the exact amount of sauces and ingredients needed .
