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 Matcha Pink Ade recipe?
Stumbled across an easy-to-make Ruby Ade recipe online. It uses pomegranate to create a pinkish, dreamy, refreshing look, which makes it a perfect drink for hot weather in Malaysia. So, I decided to modify it with REN / Matcha and edible rose.

Why did you choose REN / Matcha for this recipe?
REN / Matcha has a clean and supple finish, making the overall taste light and refreshing. Its high umami-ness and creaminess surprisingly blend very well with Yakult and pomegranate.
