When my hands are ‘itchy’ looking for something to bake yet I am lazy to do major cleaning, 核桃酥 （hap tou sou) walnut biscuits came to mind.

Onde-Onde : Direct translation from Portuguese will be "Where-Where". They are "here-here"!

The 4 main ingredients for onde-onde:
- Pandan leave (screwpine leaves) to make the colour and the distinctive fragrance.
- Glutinous rice flour to make the chewy balls
- Gula melaka gives the sweetness
- Desiccated coconut to coat the balls

Warning!!! Pop them in your mouth. No biting it into half to prevent the unnecessary drips/burst of melted gula melaka 😁.

You will enjoy the burst of sweetness.

Perhaps, this is a spin-off from your usual Easter eggs this year!

Counting to the Year of Tiger... How about some Almond cookies? Slightly different texture from the Peanut Cookies but both equally have the crunch.

Another familiar cookies we often see in Malaysia during CNY. Buttery, crunchy cornflake cookies.

My CNY-must have: peanut biscuits. Very often they melt in your mouth but I love mind crunchy. Peanut butter lovers will adore these!

What's for your afternoon tea today?
I shall have my Pulut Tai Tai (a.k.a. Kaya kuih).

Kaya is short term for serikaya. A very typical South East Asia coconut jam very often in brown (made with caramel or in green, colour from pandan leaves).

Morning breakfast at the neighbourhood kopitiam (coffee shop), we could order roti bakar (toated bread) with butter and kaya. This will be nicely paired with 2 soft boiled eggs and all sort of coffee (kopi, kopi O, kopi C, kopi kosong, etc. etc).

Afternoon tea time, slab some kaya on our sticky pulut rice and there we have our Kaya Kuih.

Happy2022!

I think this year is going to be a much better year compared to the last two years.
Every year, the end of Christmas signifies the start of Chinese New Year preparations for the Chinese all over the world. I start to see all the CNY cookies, bak kwa (BBQ pork), CNY reunion dinner menu, etc. Spring cleaning shall start soon as well!

I wish for a blossom year and thus, I started the year with some steamed Chinese Blossom Cake, aka ‘Huat Kuih’ in Hokkien, aka 发糕 in Mandarin. It is normally in pretty pink but I am a true Pandan lover and so, Pandan Huat Kuih it was.

The elves are working to prepare the Christmas Cheers...

Everyone is talking about Black Friday and Giving Tuesday. Perhaps this is just what you need this year?

After 2 years missing my fruit cakes, I am back this year!

Totally missed the smell of mixed fruits, roasted nuts and Brandy in the kitchen. TLC process starts now with my cakes.
