Coronavirus aka Covid-19
It brings out the best and worst in humans.

That aside, while being in lockdown/Circuit Breaker mode, the thing I find that I have in excessive is; Time. With more time on hand, what do I do with it? I've been exercising more actually, and cooking & baking almost weekly for my family. I don't really crave for food outside, only the occasional random bubble tea craving, which gets put down quickly by Zach as he claims it's "unhealthy and fattening" :(
I've noticed most of my friends claim that they've gained a few kg during this period, but on the contrary I've lost a few kilos! Here's how my daily routine looks like since the lockdown began:

1. Wake up, drink a cup of water, clock 40 min of exercise (from my exercise planner/scheduler)
2. Drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice after (the juice menu varies daily, depending on the fruits I'm able to get from NTUC) Shout out to my fav grocery store, thanks for restocking many fruit varieties so I can have a good morning juicing routine!
3. Take an awesome long shower
4. Get in front of my computer and do some work
5. Bake/Cook for lunch or afternoon tea break (again, depending on the ingredients I have at home)
6. Film/edit my videos/photos if I've taken any during my kitchen raids
7. Stay glued to the computer until dinner time

I think I'm being more productive than usual! & I absolutely love taking some time to try out new recipes that I see online. Most of the time my baked/cooked goods turn out fairly well, with the occasional few times that it seemed rather gloomy and sad.... Thankfully I've got a wonderful, supportive family (and Zach, during non-CB days) who eats everything that I make (tasty or disgusting) and allows me to step into the kitchen time after time to experiment with more recipes!

I'm super happy with my latest baked goods, which is a "Not So Pretty Sponge Cake" in reality but I decided to give it a cool name "Double Chocolate Toblerone Sponge Cake". How does it look in the picture? I love how porous the cake turned out (despite the ugly crackled edges) and the addition of toblerone bits was the BEST DECISION EVER. I invented this btw. Well technically with the help of a basic sponge cake recipe, I tweaked the ingredients and added few things of my own. I'm a chocoholic (if there's such a word), I once polished an entire chocolate fondue (for 2 pax) at Max Brenner on my own and I swore never to eat chocolate again. That was a lie, I had chocolates the very next day. So you get the gist. Enough of the chitchat, for those who're salivating after seeing the awesome cake photo, i'm here to share my recipe! Scroll down and please spend 5 min of your precious time to appreciate the video I painstakingly took & edited while baking. No easy feat.
