You've recently started to share your baking creations on your Instagram. Has baking always been a passion of yours?

Baking has always been my passion but I couldn't find a time to do it. Due to Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia during March this year, I finally took the opportunity to start baking. It all started by creating the trendy Dalgona drink using Niko Neko Matcha powder during MCO period. As I really love eating bread, so I asked myself why not try to bake one? From there, I experienced the fun of baking.

What's the most enjoyable part of baking in your experience?

I love baking bread! The process of kneading dough with your own hands is so enjoyable! Even though it’s not easy to knead dough perfectly by hand, it’s so satisfying when I succeed! Besides, what makes baking enjoyable is when my creations look appetising and visually appealing in the photo.

How did you come up with Matcha-Chiato?

I love Macchiato! So I came out with an idea to modify Espresso Macchiato by replacing Espresso shot with Matcha.

Why did you choose REN / Matcha for this recipe?

REN / Matcha tastes super umami and creamy with least bitterness, I think it’s the best option to create a concentrated form of Matcha!
