Eating out is expensive. Baked goods are not always affordable, especially if you have a family.
Can't wait to see what you have baked and cooked while living here. To get us started:
pseudo applestrudel, sugar cookies

I even dared to buy some frozen ones last for the first time and they went very well with my prawn curry.
As for the standard curry sauce that goes with roti canai, no you won't get that other than at a singaporean/malaysian place; but prawn or fish curry sauce is pretty good too.
P.S. The (South Indian) type of roti you mention and pictured above is also called paratha in many parts of India (roti in Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia).

Please? | | | | | Google is really your friend. This person's blog came up: http://happyhomemaker88.wordpress.co...e-or-siao-bak/
It looked pretty authentic, so I did what she said and it turned out fine 'cept my kitchen smelled incredible for a few hours. 
Now you owe me some 'char siew' (sweet barbequed pork) when you next make some, OK?

Note to self: must be more positive.

Wow, these are impressive to say the least. Is is possible to order cakes off you directly? Do you have a website? Do you teach cake decorating...??
