2nd week of May is always very special for me. Not only it is Mother's Day, my birthday also falls within this period of time. Since it's my week, I actually want to take a break from baking. I want to enjoy myself. Since it's for 2 occasions, I have chosen 2 kinds of cake (Tiramisu as well as Dark Chocolate) from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to celebrate with my family. Prior to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, we also had our Mother's Day celebrations in Sakae Sushi with my mum and mother-in-law.As Sunday was almost coming to an end, I realised I have an unopened Japanese bread flour sitting in the fridge. I decided to use it to make some buns with 2 different fillings, tuna with onions, and my children's all time favourite - chicken hotdogs.
