You've recently started to share your baking creations on your Instagram. Has baking always been a passion of yours?

Baking has always been my passion but I couldn't find a time to do it. Due to Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia during March this year, I finally took the opportunity to start baking. It all started by creating the trendy Dalgona drink using Niko Neko Matcha powder during MCO period. As I really love eating bread, so I asked myself why not try to bake one? From there, I experienced the fun of baking.

What's the most enjoyable part of baking in your experience?

I love baking bread! The process of kneading dough with your own hands is so enjoyable! Even though it’s not easy to knead dough perfectly by hand, it’s so satisfying when I succeed! Besides, what makes baking enjoyable is when my creations look appetising and visually appealing in the photo.

How did you come up with Genmaicha Smoothie Bowl? Why did you choose MOKUREN / Genmaicha for this recipe?

Smoothie bowl makes the perfect breakfast or a quick snack as it’s healthy and refreshing yet super easy to create with only a few ingredients, it can be done in 10 minutes! I think the unique rice-crackerish flavour of MOKUREN / Genmaicha matches well with the banana and nut toppings. Moreover, you can experience 2 flavours in 1 bowl! But, of course, both Matcha and Houjicha will surely go well with this recipe too!
