Mango yogurt chiffon cake trial
My nephew's birthday is coming up and he requested a mango flavoured cake. I found this recipe online and decided to try it out a day before baking his actual birthday cake.
The recipe was small enough for my 15cm tube pan (based on inner diameter at the top), and fitted the pan exactly (okay, it rose about 1cm above the rims of the pan during baking, but fell during cooling) you can see the picture below.
Taste was light and fluffy just as chiffon should be. The cake was a tall 10cm high (hear my squeal!) The taste of mango was hardly noticeable (make mental note to sub the mango yogurt with fresh mango puree & plain yogurt).
My daughter polished off two slices (almost a quarter) of the cake at one go. And our family of three had the cake for breakfast the next day. Texture was still as good the day after baking.

Homemade mango pudding
I had a mango in my kitchen and was racking my brains about what to do with it. I eventually decided to make mango pudding after a quick google search for recipes. I had the other ingredients on hand anyway.
The recipe was from http://www.thehongkongcookery.com/2016/05/hong-kong-style-mango-pudding.html?m=1, and it tasted just right (not too sweet, nor bland). I did not serve it with the suggested additional mango cubes and sweetened condensed milk, though.
However, I did not have those single-serve moulds on hand so I simply ladled the mixture into 4 round plastic takeaway containers. Thus when they were served, I simply scooped portions into serving cups/bowls, which looked terribly messy. My sisters agreed that the end result tasted better than it looked, so I was happy enough.

Watched "Coffee Prince"
Last week, I started on a new TvN drama 'Goblin' (official title "Guardian:The Lonely and Great God") and was so caught up with it that I re-watched the premiere episodes (ep 1-2) nonstop whilst waiting for the next episode (ep 3) to be available after a week. Check out its trailer here.
I decided to catch up with one of the lead actors' Gong Yoo's previous work, one of the supposed classic K dramas "Coffee Prince". Here is the link to the MBCClassic youtube videos, though I watched my version on Viu.
