Pumpkin is such a gem! It is a nutrient dense food, full of vitamins and minerals yet low in calories. Having rich in beta-carotene, fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, it offers protection against heart disease, cancer, promote fertility, boost immunity, and even protects our eyes!

Given the extensive list of nutritional benefits, pumpkin should be made a regular part of our diet. However, does it bother you that everytime after a pumpkin is cut, there comes the recipe hunting activity - gather as many recipes as possible so that you could finish it off before those fuzzy mold find their way into it? Well here is just another addition to your recipe list.

If you had not tried a hee pan before, let me describe to you the texture of this treat. It is a little bread-like, but soft and chewy with the addition of glutinous rice flour. It stays chewy and soft after cool, perfect for a afternoon snack or even as a picnic dish! A store-bought one is usually tinted with food coloring. I bet this naturally-tinted-with-beta-carotene hee pan will surely be much more appetizing and nutritious, agree?

Having a terrible craving for chocolate, I decided to make my favorite donut - Choc Pudding filled donut. The chocolate was overflowing, and every bite guarantees a mouthful of chocolate. It was so good... Well, as much as I adore it, have all food in moderation is my motto. So, instead of frying all 8 donuts, I saved some dough and top them with Hokkaido Dome topping.

These toppings are delightful. It is so simple to prepare yet they gave the leftover dough a 'new life' again. I love to put toppings on bread because it helps to retain moisture in the bread during the baking process, and of course, it add flavours and we love them too!

If you had ever tried the Hokkaido cupcake, I am sure you will be impressed by its soft, delicate and springy texture. Unlike muffin, this cupcake, made using the chiffon method, produce very light textured cake that won't fill up your tummy so easily. You might unknowingly eaten too much of it even before you realise it!

Usually, Hokkaido cupcake is paired with custard cream, injected right into the middle of cupcake until it overflowed slightly to the top, and then top with fresh fruit of vibrant color rendering a pleasant appearance. Combining Hokkaido cupcake with cream cheese is rather new. In fact, I had a slight concern that the weight of cream cheese may crush the soft cake but it turned up amazingly beautiful and delicious!

Collagen is an essential building material to renew cells, it contributes to firm and elastic skin texture, hydrate skin, and improves the joint and ligament flexibility. This important protein is naturally produced by our body, but the production decrease as we age, hence the occurrence of wrinkled, saggy skin. Many people resolve to taking collagen supplement while other believes that just like any other protein, collagen breaks down in our digestive system and will not serve the purpose as we thought.

So, which theory do you subscribe to? 

Well, when it comes to the collagen soup, the theory doesn't really matter. This soup is delicious, thick in consistency and absolutely lip smacking. And maybe, just maybe, it could help you look young too!

2. Bring some water to boil, put the chicken bones in and cook for 5 minutes. Discard water.
3. Using a pressure cooker, bring 8 cups of water to boil, put in chicken bones.
4. Cook for 25 minutes (using WMF pressure cooker) or around 5 hours equivalent of using normal cooker.
