I love to cook, and i mostly master all kind of foods especially chinese..but when it comes to baking na ahh..don't really like it. I hate baking sweet things. Tbh, it never was that easy for me to accomplish my baking session. I screwed up many times and often failed on my first baking trial even though i cake or cookies. This particular activity requires not only precision skill but also passion to bake. Well, in my 25 year of life I never (at least once) succeed to make a perfect and delicious cake or something sweet like cookies and candy-based cake or pastry...but i don't know why i have much confidence when baking a savory dish (for example: tuna pastry or even pizza).

When i heard this month of may we'll celebrate two exciting events..one is world baking day and the other is mother's day. Suddenly i got an idea to bake savory pastry for my mom to celebrate mother's day and of course world baking day...well mother's day is one week ahead of world baking day and this will be perfect timing to give a surprise. Lot of things going on in my mind right now.. Should i bake something like croissant pastry or something simple like spinach mushroom quiche?

Do you guys have plan to celebrate mother's day by baking-by-yourself cake to be presented to your mom as a gift? or do you have another plan to celebrate world baking day and make a surprise for your precious one? ando oh share your recipe pleaseee ;)

As we all know Allianz is one of biggest finance community in the world that provides financial protection to many people. Indonesia is a fast growing economy and for many years Allianz helps shape and protect our community.

As a blogger and freelancer i often describe my work life like a tidal wave...sometimes you got a lot of jobs to do and sometimes you don't. couple years ago i decided to invest my saving and trust Allianz to help me manage those money. at least i know i still have a backup plan if something bad occur. No one ever doubt how reliable Allianz is, include me and my family who trust Allianz to protect our properties and health. But i think many young people out there still blind about this.

Like Boris said on the video below.. Many indonesian still careless about their lives. So sad to see how they easily put theirselves in danger..and without protection...
