Recently was busy making mooncake and eat mooncake.

Today i want to do something not different from mooncake.

Nigella's Banana Bread. I saw this on Lena-Frozen Wings Blog and like this.

So i make this today for our teatime. 

With Lena's confident that this cake is really really good, and i get it a try.

This Banana Bread was so good and this bread is really worth trying, the texture is nice and soft. 

I like this very much. Thanks Lena --- Frozen Wings for this good recipe.
