Chinese New Year

Final week to CNY 2012! Cleaning & washing are on-going coupled with we just move in hence loads to wash n clean. The room is in a mess!! I better get my act together n tidy it up.
I found some time over the past weekend to bake some cookies. Nothing fanciful, just bak kwa cube. It's pretty easy - cutting bak kwa into bite size and mixed into any pastry - I used pineapple tart pastry for it's melt-in the mouth experience.


This was so much easier to shape compared to my first attempt.


Haha.. The above turn out to be like Texas Chicken's biscuit. It's still nice because I used cream cheese and cream as part of the ingredients - FAT!
I'm looking forward to flying back on 1st day of CNY! Will be home till the 9th day of CNY.. Yahoo!!
Till next update..

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

Kuih Bahulu

Zachary loves kuih bahulu very much! He can gobble up to 3 at one go.. since Chinese New Year is around the corner and kuih bahulu used to be made by my grandmother (the traditional way of course), I decided to scour the www for a trusted recipe!

I remembered chancing upon a recipe from My Kitchen Snippet and hence decided to go with her recipe..

This is my first try and thanks to Melinda who gave me 2 kuih bahulu mould as Christmas present..

* I omitted lemon zest and replaced 3 tbsp of melted butter with canola oil instead.
