Encounter at Cameron Highlands, Malaysia 马来西亚的金马仑高原

I found these photo in my sister's photo album. Trip to Cameron Highland, Malaysia in the late 90s.

Cute children playing ....
Patches of green tea plantation on Cameron Highlands...

There are goats on Cameron Highlands too!

Butterfly attracted to Beautiful Flower...
The butterfly has large wings!

Red rose, Pink roses...which one do you like?
A quiet morning...
Sunrise!

What is that? They were practicing Falun Gong! Never expect I have came across Falun Gong much earlier than I knew......just that I don't know....他们在炼法轮功!
Falun Dafa is Good! 法轮大法好!

Shop houses in a quiet town....

S K Convent. It looked lonely beside the pine tree!

A Taste of German Cakes - Juchheim at Takashimaya, Singapore

Juchheim’s origins date back to the year 1909 when it was first established by the German couple Karl and Elise Juchheim.

The recipes, techniques and words left by the Juchheims have been faithfully passed down to this day and are treasured by the entire Juchheim company and the confectioners working at Juchheim. This heritage is the key to producing delicious cakes and sweets.

Words Left by Our Founders

カール・ユーハイム エリーゼ・ユーハイム
  • Pure, genuine ingredients are the key to good taste.
    Exquisiter Geschmark durch feinste Zutaten
  • Mother’s homemade flavors are the flavors of nature.
    Naturicher Geschmark wie bei Muttern


 Baumkuchen

The origins of baumkuchen, a traditional German cake, can be traced back into the distant past. A confectioner cannot earn the title of Meister (pastry chef) before completely mastering all the processes involved in the production of baumkuchen, from preparing the batter to baking it into a beautiful and delicious baumkuchen.

( Baumkuchen is a layered cake, it seems similar to Singapore's Kuah Lapis)

Movie about Falun Gong 有关法轮功的电影 


DONQ - a 106 yrs old Japanese-French Bakery opening at Takashimaya

Established for a remarkable period of 106 years, Donq is a popular bakery chain in Japan whereby it has 180 outlets. With branches in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China (run by franchises), the newly set- up bakery located at Takashimaya Food Hall has been drawing sizeable crowds and many locals have been snapping up its crusty baguettes and savoury buns, all of which are renowned for their light and airy dough.


Bread draws the crowds...

DONQ draws my attention too...

DONQ at Takashimaya

This bread draws my attention - it is called Macha Dainagon Roll! 抹茶大納言紅豆瑞士捲
Green Tea Bread With Red Bean and Sesame Seeds.



DONQ breads are pretty and elegant, but they are expensive. Each bread usually costs more than $2.



You can see the bakers at work. ^o^

Macha Dainagon Roll! 抹茶大納言紅豆瑞士捲 (Green Tea Bread With Red Bean and Sesame Seeds)
1 roll (5 pieces of bread) costs $5! That is expensive!
 Tart Bresson Fruit -  is a soft buns tart mixed with berries and custard toppings ($2.80)


I bought these despite the price.





 
It seemed that they have good business!
  
The receipt...

DONQ's plastic bag has a paris design on it. Paris Map! 
DONQ seems to be half Japanese, half French... 
  
A close-up look again


The berries look really big and fresh! This tart tastes like berries with egg custard. Quite nice, although I do not really like custard.


I love the red beans! I cannot taste the Matcha (Green tea) though.

BON APPETIT , make your way to DONQ at Takashimaya one day for a Japanese-French sensation!
