Orange-Choco Truffles

Valentine's Day is approaching very soon~~
Let's give little sweet surprises to my sweeties... emmm ... I am just so in the mood of truffles lately;

Methods:

1) Finely chop 200g Chocolate (my choice: Valrhona, 66% cacao)

2) Bring 100ml cream just to a boil; remove from heat

3) Add the chopped chocolate and stir gently

4) Add 50g Unsalted Butter (in 2/3 times) into the mixture and keep stirring until all butter are melted without lumps

5) Add 1.5tbsp of Cointreau (could be 2tbsp if you like stronger taste of liqueur); stir until the mixture is nice and smooth

6) Pour them into a container (covered with baking sheet) and set into fridge for at least over-night time

7) Lastly, cut them into shapes of your choice and dust cacao powder as coating and ENJOY~ =)

Pancakes (not) on the The Rocks

From time to time I ask the same question: "Where to find Pancakes in HK?"; Unfortunately, up till now it still remains unanswered!

Instead of asking around; I thought the other day, why not try my luck to make some? And here it is:

Couldnt find any chocolate syrup as topping; but thanks to the melting vanilla ice-cream, it definately did a great job~~

Though my pancake was far from the ones in The Rocks... it was still a nice brunch to have~~!!
