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 Langue de Chat recipe?

Langue de Chat also known as White Lover (Shiroi Koibito) which is one of the famous Japanese food souvenirs. As Valentine’s Day is around the corner, it’s perfect time to bake these cookies, so I decided to modify the recipe.

Why did you choose YURI / Matcha for this recipe?

I chose YURI / Matcha for this recipe as the slight bitterness and vegetal grassy notes from YURI Matcha can balance out the sweetness from the white chocolate.
