Hi all,

It has been a really busy week at work and I have been experiencing lots of problems with this .com blog. I think I have over-estimated myself, thinking that I can manage my full-time job and a .com blog at the same time, but it turns out things are getting a little out of hand. All this SQL and FTP issues kept haunting me and as I have no knowledge in them at all, I might have dived into this .com thing a little too early for my own good. It was really frustrating, sitting in front of the computer at wee hours of the night trying to resolve the server issues.

So I’ve decided – foodiebaker.com is going to take a break, until I’ve managed to acquire an expert  to resolve all these issues (or until I have the time to learn how to). :(

BUT!

That doesn’t mean I will stop blogging altogether! I will still be blogging, but back here in my original blog at foodismylife.wordpress.com. Luckily I’ve imported all my latest posts onto this blog, so no content is lost, except for a few comments here and there, I’m so sorry!

I will be updating that place space soon with some yummy recipes and travelogues, so do hop over there now! :)

See you at foodismylife.wordpress.com!

Korean Sweet Potato Noodles with Beef [Japchae]

I originally wanted to blog about my Taiwan trip, but unfortunately Flickr is down, and since I’ve already uploaded photos for this noodle dish, I shall blog about it instead! Sweet potato noodles are, as its name suggests, made with sweet potato starch. It is different from the transparent cellophane noodles (冬粉) which are made with mung bean starch. Personally I felt that both have roughly the same texture and both being tasteless on their own, they absorb flavours very well. Sweet potato noodles are often used in a very popular Korean dish called japchae – it is made by [Continue reading...]

Black Sesame Icebox Cookies

When Nami from Just One Cookbook posted this recipe on her blog, I knew I have to make these yummy little treats. This is a very simple icebox cookie recipe – icebox cookies are cookies made from a dough which has been refrigerated or frozen. The cooling or freezing makes the dough stiffer, enabling the dough to be sliced thinly. Sesame seeds are small oily seeds commonly used in African, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Sesame seeds are pretty nutritional, containing calcium, iron, copper, magnesium and phosphorus.
