INTERVIEW WITH NICOLEYONG93

What do you do for a living?

I’m an Interactive Multimedia Designer who works in a digital marketing agency. I’m passionate in creating visuals on variety of platforms including photography, illustration and 2D animation. I believe that colourful and meaningful artworks will bring joy to viewer’s life!

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 appetizing and visually appealing in the photo.

How did you come up with Genmaicha Flapjack Biscuit?

I came across the famous Jamie Oliver's Buddy's Flapjack Biscuit recipe online. It was a straightforward, easy-to-make recipe to whip up - with the help of a food processor, it's the perfect quick tea time snack! I decided to modify this simple and healthy snack with MOKUREN / Genmaicha to cater to my personal dessert cravings.

Why did you choose MOKUREN / Genmaicha powder for this recipe?

I chose MOKUREN / Gemaicha because it has a distinct roasted brown rice flavour which I think, perfectly compliments these flapjacks, which are mainly made out of oats and nuts.
