Japanese Green Tea Bread

Oh my.. its Monday again... why cant everyday be Sunday lol... the sleeping in till after 8am... the day i dont hv to touch any housework.. the day I get to watch a little telly and the day where i get to bake first thing in the morning without worrying if Sonia is up to something while i'm in the kitchen... all that simply cos Sunday is hb on duty day and Rima off duty day (remember our agreement hb).. oh by the way hb.. i know u didnt wash the toilets.. Men!! grrrr

Anyway I made this bread yesterday morning and didnt even hv the time to blog abt it since mom, dad and also lyn and family came by for a visit last night.. I finally had a haircut last Saturday and went to Ikea yesterday to get Sonia's new bed room furniture (papa felt that his 2yrs old girl needs a bigger bed lol).. Will take photo once her bedroom is done.. so in the meantime let me just quickly post this simple recipe by Alex Goh (The world of Bread)
