Easy Peach-y Dessert

One of the easiest and quickest dessert that you can make. A perfect treat for last minute guests! Here, I used cranberry muffins. Feel free to use cupcakes or vanilla cake. Fresh whipped cream would be ideal, but ready-to-use whipped cream will still be a hit.

Servings 4

Ingredient

2 medium-sized muffins or cupcakes or plain vanilla cake

4 peaches, halves and canned (Don't toss away the syrup!)

Whipped cream

Chocolate syrup

Crumble and divide the muffins between 4 glasses or bowls.

Pour in one tablespoon of the canned peaches syrup into each glass, just enough to soak the muffins a little.

Add a peach halves in each and top it with whipped cream.

Drizzle a generous amount of chocolate sauce and serve immediately.

Thai Basil Chicken

A quick and appetizing dish that serves well on fresh lettuce or steamed rice. This recipe uses bird's-eye chillies. If they are too spicy for your taste, feel free to substitute it with red or green chillies.

300g minced chicken
4 cloves of garlic, peeled
2 shallots
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon palm sugar
1/2 teaspoon sweet soy sauce

2-3 bird's-eye chillies (aka Thai chillies)
2 tablespoons oil
Salt and pepper
Toasted cashew nuts (Optional)

Pre-heat a wok or a frying pan. Once it's hot, add a good amount of oil
Saute the garlic and onions, until fragrant
Stir in the chicken and cook for a couple of minutes. Break the mince chicken while its cooking
Once the chicken turns color, add in the chillies, stirring all the time
