Easy Cheesecake Recipe

2 250g-block Philadelphia cream-cheese
2/3 cup castor sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 cup whipped cream
2-3 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp lemon juice
5 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
1 200g-pack or graham crackers (preferably crushed)
1/2 block of butter (melted)

In a bowl, mix butter and graham crackers until the texture is like a wet sand. This will serve as your base. Put the mixture in a spring-form cake tin (20cm diameter). Compress it with the bottom of a glass. Place it on a freezer to harden. Then make the cake.

Soften the cheese by putting it out off the fridge until the it has the room temperature. Put it in the bowl and mix it with other ingredients; sour cream, sugar, whipped cream, lemon, vanilla, and gelatin powder. Continue to mix it (not whip) until the consistency is smooth.

Pour in on to the base and cover it with aluminum foil. Place in freezer a minimum of 6 hours (depends upon your freezer's power), preferably overnight.


Put in a cake stand, cut and enjoy with tea.

VERDICT
WILL: I know that Abbey loves me a lot but he never fails to make me feel that every now and then. Making my favorite cake is always on his list.

He made a cheesecake! Gosh! The taste is pretty same with the popular cafes. I talked about it for days how good the cake was and even our housemates confirmed it.

Now, everyone is requesting for it this holiday season. You can order the cake for a minimum fee. Please give Abbey a call, haha!

Thor: The Dark World

ABBEY: So Loki was captured and being detained at Asgard. The whole kingdom was at peace as well as the inhabitants of the earth. But then again another villain was in the rise seeking revenge and that particular "indestructible" force to complete it. The plot thickens; some fell but still the good manages to prevail. It was simple but it was good as this is a superhero movie. 

The effects and action relives my imagination. Sometimes I'm wandering what if I have superpower :)=

As this is a Marvel movie, we waited for the Easter egg at the end of credits. SPOILER ALERT: There is Thor 3.

WILL: What can I say about the 2^nd chapter of Thor’s life, well, he is now mature! The way he talked, the way he fight and the way he think! I enjoy this movie more because of Loki’s idea and the appearance of my Captain America.

The whole story for me is pretty childish. 6/10. Unbelievable way how to save the world.

Singapore's Krispy Kreme

ABBEY: My wife loves Krispy Kreme. And I want to surprise her with a dozen of original glazed-doughnut. Right after my night shift, me and my colleague queue on Krispy Kreme's opening day. I read at the paper that the first 200 customers will be entitled  to a free dozen when you buy one. I'm not expecting to win that but there was a change on the rules on that morning. First hundred would be receiving 4 dozen of doughnuts for a month and next one hundred will get the one for one deal. And guess what? I'm the hundredth customer :) 

Boasting aside, I was even featured in Krispy Kreme's report on Yahoo Singapore. I'm blessed having that opportunity to share those free sweet delights to my friends and family. Dozen of original glaze is at 23.50 and 26.5 for assorted.

WILL: I am always thinking when will Krispy Kreme put up a store  here in Singapore. Always missing the taste of their original doughnuts together with my afternoon tea. Well my wishful thinking was granted last October 12.

I am surprised that one of my colleague shouted that she want also doughnuts. I am shocked to see a photo of a box of original glaze Krispy Kreme at my facebook timeline, gosh!, my husband really knew the things that will make me very happy. Abbey is very lucky that day and got the 100th spot on the queue, he won a dozen of original doughnuts every week and to be a blessing to others, he decided to share it with his colleagues, my colleagues, our friends and housemates.

We are so happy to know that now there is a branch here in Singapore, even though this is quite expensive than their Philippines branch, the taste really worth it.

Until now we are queuing and buying a dozen once we set our foot around Orchard road.

Thanks Krispy Kreme! I really love your doughnuts!
