LA is raining today so we cancelled the trip to Disney :( so instead we cruising along and ended up in Porto's bakery. (My brother's fav bakery in town)

Got a dozen cheese roll, eclair, chocolate croissant and sugar roll with hot chocolate.

The bread and danish is absolutely splendid. I love them all except the eclair, i still love Indonesian version which is more sweet and flavourful but the rest are awesome! The famous cheese roll is great! It's not salty as i expected it to be but a bit sour-salty and soft but crunchy. Absolutely delish!

The hot chocolate on the other hand, is a let down. I felt like i drank hot milk instead of hot chocolate, not chocolaty enough for my taste >.<

But well they are bakery, you should come for what they are good at, which is as good as the long queue XD definitely worth the 10 minutes queue (they serve fast so the long queue weren't equal long time waiting)

I've been munching off the baklava that were given to us before, so my mom got curious and she invented this XD

Ting ting gepuk (traditional sugar peanuts) covered with pie crust and she oven those in hope it would taste like baklava XD

This is the result XD appearance wise ... Well xD look like croisants than baklava and the taste... Weird XD but at least it's a first XD

This is the first time i tried baking something (beside toast). Yesterday when i went to Korean supermarket, i found this homemade instant bakery. So i thought let's give it a shot. And the thing is... I don't understand the instructions XD

Too late. I bought it And let's just give a try. Turn out it was a mess. The dough is so sticky, it stuck all over my hand (hence no pictures) but then we make do. And this is how it turns out. Crispy XD doesn't look like the picture on the box but doesn't taste bad at all, so very not bad.

Next time i'll make sure i understand the instructions before i buy anything XD

I do have kids taste for food XD

Yes my breakfast lately seems like something that a kid will have. But i have a soft spot for colorful and cute things. So this can't be help no? XD

When i was in PIK yesterday i also dropby to a Japanese bakery. Found this chocolate box. I was introque by it, as usual i buy it because it looks cute XD

It's a little bit hard and the chocolate was all in the center. I love a finely distribute fillings on a bread XD so this is a bit dissapointing for me XD

They have opened for quite a while but i've never stop there and look until today.

And interesting XD first time i saw black charcoal bread and of course i had to try XD

They claimed that they doesn't use normal yeast on their bread, but they use yeast from fruits, It's natural and healthy. Well i knew nothing about those, just as long as it's delicious i'm happy XD

The breads are soft, a little bit lacking in the sweet taste like a normal bread but it's pretty good. I tried the charcoal & grains - walnut. It taste like normal bread just a bit chewy. It's actually taste like normal wheat bread. But the color is exciting XD
