Not much to talk abt.. Hairi is back cos tomorrow he has an early appt with his doc.. remember a few months ago when he decided to do a minor surgery on his finger just so he could get mc?? well after a few months. he now has to go through another minor surgery to take the metal rod out of his finger and i think its not gonna be a long kinda surgery.. will hv to ask his dad to send him to the hospital first and hopefully I will be able to be there bef lunch so that i can visit my grandma first bef Hairi's done with his surgery.
I will hv to take Sonia to her doc too for her hepatitis A booster jab.. shes not gonna be a happy girl come tomorrow cos the moment she steps her feet into the clinic she knows exactly what shes gonna get lol..
Anyway I am not too sure if I will be updating my blog tomorrow as its gonna be a fully packed day for us.. a visit to Sonia's doc, hospital and we hv to attend a dinner party later in the evening.. so ok enough rambling.. lets talk abt these lovelies.. aint they the prettiest?? the thing abt financiers.. they can be so so pretty no matter what u decide to hv as toppings.. this is the first time that I'm using apple as topping and I decided to prepare an apple compote.. surprisingly not only does it give out a super rich flavor .. I felt like as tho I am killing two birds with one stone cos u can use the syrup as glazing too..
Oh u can of cos use any of ur fav muffin recipe and add apple compote as topping but i preferred to bake an apple compote financier today simply bec apple+spices goes well in financiers= almonds=reminds u of apples.. get it?? errrr
Apple compote slices
5 medium (600-650 gr) apples, cored, thinly sliced
400 gr water
200 gr caster sugar
3 cardamom pods, coarsely crushed
3 star anises
1 cinnamon stick
1. In a large saucepan, bring apple slices, water, sugar, and all spices to boil over high heat.
2. Reduce heat to low and simmer until apple slices are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and drain.
(Do not throw away the simmering liquid when you drain the apple slices. Reduce them until thick and syrupy and use as glaze.)

made the tart nenas using your recipe and lapis legit yday for my family...tak sampai mlm dah habis! and i got spoekek powder and coffee oil in one baking shop in pontian...cool kan pontian itu!
Those are pretty.
I have to smile when I see the word "Financier" because it reminded me of my trip in NYC. I was in Wall St. area and saw this pastry shop called "Financier Patisserie" and thought that the Patisserie was trying to be clever by being naming it Financier since it is like a block away from Wall St. Needless to say, I didn't stop by because that was just to tacky for me.
Fast foward some time later, I found out that Financier is also referring to that little French cake. Ooops... Had I known that, I would have gone to that Patisserie.
salam,
I stumbled upon ur blog at Hana's. Love it! the photos make me drool.. feels like taking up baking once I'm back from kampung :)
Get well soon Princess Sonia and don't be afraid of injection. Cam kena gigit semut je, itulah ayat yang dr tu guna untuk tipu hambaAllah tu.
Get well Hairi. And to you to mama, take it lightly with grandma in the hospital, anak bujang nak g hospital and sibungsu pun kena g hospital.
Take care of you and family.Eh! you all singaporean raya sakan ek. Ai dah muak, seminggu tak berhenti menambah lemak ke pinggang ku yang ramping.
