YAHOOOO....My first ever winning prize from a giveaway....Yuzu powder from Nasi Lemak Lover 's blog. Thanks so much Sonia. Gosh, I am thrilled when someone congrats me & told me about it. I didn't even know that I have won something. Never in my life I have won anything except HUBBY ! haha.... OOoooooohhh... sssshhhh... don't tell anyone. :o) As soon as I received the package, I can't wait to try the yuzu powder out on something....something that I love the most...yeah, bread making. Yet, the bread doesn't look perfect enough. The crust doesn't crack as it supposed to. So disappointed !  This giraffe bread is also called as tiger bread where it has such a special mottled crust, looking just like the giraffe body printing. Here, I have one perfect looking giraffe bread I wanna to show you.
