Tried & Tested Maggi Air-Fryer Marinade

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Tried & Tested Maggi Air-Fryer Marinade

These Maggi Air-Fryer Marinades are not sponsored. I bought them, tried and tested it myself. I highly recommend it. No skill is needed. Only 2 ingredients are required: the paste and the protein. I’m using chicken. You can use any protein that you like.

You can marinate the protein of your choice. Then, bake it in the oven or air fryer. You can use it as a stir-fry sauce. Just be creative.

Easy 2 Self-Rising Flour Butter Cake Recipes

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Easy 2 Self-Rising Flour Butter Cake Recipes
Easy Self-Raising Flour Butter Cake with Cheddar Cheese

Give the basic butter cake a twist with a slice of cheddar cheese. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:
110g salted butter (room temperature)
80g castor sugar (do not reduce anymore, it’s not that sweet)
2 medium eggs
A dash of vanilla essence
140g self-rising flour (sift it)
80ml milk
1 or 2 slices of cheddar cheese

Steps:
All the mixing with the mixer is done at speed 1.
1. Cream butter and sugar until white and creamy.
2. Add eggs and beat for about 2 minutes.
3. Add vanilla essence and beat for another 1 minute.
4. Gradually fold in self-rising flour, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Do not overmix.
5. Get ready a greased/lined baking tin. I’m using a 500ml baking tin. It’s actually not enough to fit all the batter. Using an 800ml baking tin would be just nice.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 40-45 minutes. If you are using cupcake moulds, then bake for 20 minutes.
7. Leave it to cool before cutting so that it’s not crumbly. Leaving it overnight would be ideal.

Easy Self-Raising Flour Honey Butter Cake (Small Portion Recipe)

I was supposed to be making a basic butter cake, but made a last-minute decision to add honey to it. However, I didn’t expect it to turn out well. This is a small-portion cake recipe that is suitable for 1-3 pax. Double or triple it if you want.

Ingredients:
40g room temperature salted butter
20g castor sugar
A splash of vanilla essence
1 large egg
40g self-rising flour
30ml evaporated milk
1 tbsp honey

Instructions:
1. Use speed 1. Beat butter and sugar for 2 minutes until smooth, white, and creamy.
2. Add vanilla essence and egg. Use speed 1. Beat for 3 minutes until incorporated, white, and fluffy.
3. Sift in the self-rising flour and fold with a spatula until partially incorporated.
4. Add evaporated milk and honey. Fold in until everything is well-mixed. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the baking vessel of your choice. I’m using a glass container (approx. 11cm in diameter, 4cm in height).
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 35-40 minutes. Adjust the timing according to your oven temperament and also your baking vessel. Baking tin might need shorter baking time.
7. After it’s baked, leave it to cool before cutting and serving. Best to leave it overnight.

Beijing Tour (5/6-11/6/2026) – Part 5

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Beijing Tour (5/6-11/6/2026) – Part 5

Day 6, we woke up for breakfast. We stayed at Wanda MOMENTS Beijing Dongba Hotel . The breakfast buffet is in the other wing. It’s quite a long walk. It’s worth it. The buffet spread was impressive. The service was very good too. Sadly, this is the only morning we can have the hotel’s buffet breakfast. This is because we had to check out extremely early on day 7 to get to the airport for the morning flight.

After breakfast, we decided to go for a walk around the area. We bought some fruit from the market.

Then, we headed back to the hotel. We bumped into some of our tour members, so we decided to go to the shopping mall to see what was available for lunch.

For dinner, I met up with my friend from Beijing. We called it a night after dinner.

Day 7, we had to check out early, and the hotel provided us with a packed breakfast. The things given in the bag was kind of anti-climax.

Anyway, all went well and reached home safe and sound.

Feel free to plan your Beijing trip here

That’s the end of day 6 and 7.

HUAWEI RETAINS GLOBAL NO.1 SMARTWATCH BRAND AND LEADS MALAYSIA'S SMARTWATCH MARKET IN H1 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, 15 SEPTEMBER 2026 – Huawei continues to make its mark in the global wearables market, ranking first worldwide in wrist-worn device shipments for the first half of 2026. According to the latest IDC Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker, Huawei secured more than 20% of the global market share*, reinforcing its momentum in the wearables space.

Since 2021, Huawei has consistently ranked first in China’s wrist-worn device market by shipment volume and has secured the top position in the global market multiple times since 2024. The report highlights Huawei’s sustained leadership to its mature product iteration strategy and comprehensive product portfolio. In the first half of 2026, Huawei introduced a series of wrist-worn devices designed to meet the diverse needs of different user groups, receiving strong market response and positive user feedback that further reinforced the company’s leading position. 

Among the standout offerings, the HUAWEI WATCH GT Runner 2 is designed for serious runners, introducing a first-to-market Marathon mode and a running power metric. These features provide end-to-end support from pre-race preparation to post-race recovery, enabling runners to closely monitor exercise intensity and optimise their training and race strategies.

The special edition features an advanced Training Camp Dashboard that provides comprehensive performance metrics, robust data analysis, and seamless fitness data import and export capabilities to help users take their performance further. 

For everyday wellness, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series introduces the Mini-workout feature, offering quick and lightweight exercise routines that help users relieve tightness and stay active during short breaks, making it especially suitable for more sedentary lifestyles. Meanwhile, the HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN Spring Edition, positioned as a luxury smartwatch, caters to female users with an advanced health monitoring system that includes comprehensive menstrual cycle tracking and wellness insights tailored to women’s physiology. Combining premium design with dedicated health features, the smartwatch addresses a gap in the luxury technology segment for high-end female consumers.

Beijing Tour (5/6-11/6/2026) – Part 4

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Beijing Tour (5/6-11/6/2026) – Part 4

Day 5 in Beijing. After breakfast, we checked out of Holiday Inn Express Beijing Tongzhou. Then, we were taken to Beijing Zoo. This was actually an optional activity. Meaning, you need to add it and pay for it on the spot during the tour. The tour guide will be the one collecting the money from you.

We did not want to join any optional activity. The activity includes a shopping mall visit (Chaoyang Hopson One; we visited it on the first day due to heavy rain), an acrobatic show, and Beijing Zoo. Due to unforeseen circumstances- the heavy rain on the first day- we were forced to take this optional add-on. Oh well… Sometimes, you just have to give and take. Just glad that our tour fee was heavily discounted and we had a very small group; it’s OK. We’re here to have fun; no point in arguing and ruining the trip.

Once we reached our new hotel, Wanda MOMENTS Beijing Dongba Hotel , immediately after we checked in, we went straight to the shopping mall, which is connected to the hotel, to get dinner. Initially, we wanted to get KFC, but they only support app ordering. So, we went to McDonald’s instead. After dinner, we called it a night. It’s free and easy the next day but we’re still going to wake up early because we want to enjoy the buffet breakfast.

That’s the end of day 5.

Feel free to plan your Beijing trip here

Stay tuned for day 6. Otherwise, just go to my Instagram account for it hehehe…
