This is the picture of my first homemade biscotti. I've used almond flakes in this recipe. Biscotti is Italian for 'biscuit' or 'cookies'. 'Bis' means twice and 'cotti' means baked. Biscotti refers to any cookies or biscuits which are baked twice. And since biscotti are crisp and crunchy, it can easily stand up to a dunking in our coffee or wine. 
The biscotti that i've made is a traditional biscotti, as it does not contain butter or oil, and uses eggs to bind the ingredients together.
Ingredients:
90g soft flour/ cake flour
3 egg whites
80g castor sugar
90g chopped nuts of your choice
1. Preheat oven to 140ºC. Whisk egg whites and sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Fold in flour and nuts and pour batter into a lined 8" loaf tin. Bake for 55mins.
2. Remove from the tin to cool. Slice according to desired thickness and return to the oven to bake until crispy, about 20mins.
Tips: The thickness of your biscotti controls the texture of it. The thinner it is, the crispier it will be.

Congratulations, Rizal! and thank you all for all your comments love!!! :)
I've been tagged by Metz to do this Personality Quiz. I love reading what other has to says about me. Tho' some of it may be true, there are also some just aren't true. No matter what's the percentage of truth, it's always fun to do quizzes like this.
The rules are:
1. Open this website : http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
2. Take the Personality Quiz (it's VERY short and easy, really)
3. Copy Paste the result to your blog.
4. Tag as many friends as you can and link to the friend who tagged you.
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. 
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship. 
[I am not sure what it says about me on this, coz I jumped into a relationship with M before getting to know him better]
The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. 
[Really?]
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
Okay, now it's time to get to know others better: Janice, Emila, Bobby, Sandman, LJ, Enchie, Jackie, Debbie, Mr. Zubli, Bono, Haaziq, Manggis, Yoon See, Rozella, Nessa, Bintang, Bro Bokjae, Marvic, Sushi, Vidst, Vhiel, Trinity and TH.

Congratulations, Shem! and thank you for all your comments love!!! :)
Aloha, peeps! I'm back [again]! I'm sorry for not visiting and blogging for the past month. I've been busy with my works and life. It was hard for me to juggle my time between all these but now I am glad I am able to spend some quality time with you guys.
So, how was your Mother's Day celebration? M & I had a steamboat feast at his parent's. It was fun as always. Back with my mom, M & I had an early Mother's Day celebration. We made 'pan meen' for her. It was yummy~licious.
As I was clearing off my comments these two days, my online friends, namely Marzie and Debbs, and I were talking about being Skinny Winny. They were saying how good it is that I am SW that i can eat whatever i wanted. They are true in this area but being a SW me also encounter difficulties. For instance, it is very difficult for me to find a fitting dress, shirts and pants. I've been a SW for half of my life. Sometimes, I wish I could be fatter but the quiz i took from Blogthings tells me to quit whinning. Looks like I am destined to be thin. 
You Are Destined to Be Thin
Even if you aren't thin right now, you have great habits that will ensure you're thin for most of your life.
You have a great relationship with food and eating. Don't change a thing.
Are You Destined To Be Overweight?Come 'on, peeps, let's see what you're destined to be! Remember to let me know your result in your comments, k!
Happy Friday!
