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 appetizing and visually appealing in the photo.

How did you come up with Matcha Kek Batik recipe?
Kek Batik is a Malaysian no-bake fridge cake dessert inspired by the tiffin, and I think it’s a perfect dessert to enjoy during this patriotic month. I found a very simple Kek Batik recipe that only required 4 ingredients. So, I decided to modify it with YURI / Matcha, salt and edible rose.

Why did you choose YURI / Matcha for this recipe?
YURI / Matcha has a strong grassy note with traces of gentle bitterness, making it a perfect choice to balance the overall sweetness of the cake.
