[RECIPE] Sortedfood's recipe: Chocolate Cake-in-a-mug

I always crave for something sweet, and that's a really big problem for me. A single serving of chocolate cake can satisfy me without me overeating more sweets~

Out of all the recipes I came across, Sorted Food's chocolate cake-in-a-mug recipe seems to be the most foolproof and simplest one. I did some minor changes to their recipe:

Chocolate Cake-in-a-mug (single serving):
2 tbsp self-raising flour*
1 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp coffee powder
1 tbsp  sugar (the chocolate chips I have at home are really sweet, so I use less sugar)
1 (small) egg
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp milk
chocolate chips

*self-rasing flour: 1.25 (all-purpose flour) to 0.25 (baking powder) ratio

[REVIEW] La Chocolaterie

La Chocolaterie is a little ganache shop located within a large Japanese marketplace, Izumiya. They are located near Lansdowne Centre and the Richmond Superstore.

I've heard a lot about their (Japanese-style) chocolate/ ganache, so I decided to give it a try.

[RECIPE] Chocolate-covered pretzel goldfish

 You know those chocolate-covered pretzels you can find at the bulk section of a grocery store? And we all know that everyone secretly sneaks a treat while scooping up some of those yummy mini cookies or those animal crackers.

Now there's pretzel Goldfish!

 My mom bought a big chocolate bar, for baking purpose. There was about 12oz of chocolate left so I thought I might as well use it up. I prefer dark chocolate over regular milk chocolate, just because I think milk chocolate is too sweet.

[REVIEW] Meiji Ichigo Marshmallow Chocolate

When I first tried this, I immediately remember the Apollo Strawberry Chocolate I always get whenever I visit Candyland; Candyland is a local candy store that sells Asian snacks. It can be found in any Asian market or store.^^
