Happy Chinese New Year 2010

Chinese New Year

Cheryl wishing all of you a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year

Pineapple Tarts

Nori Crisps

Crab Sticks

Although today is already the 7th day of the Lunar New Year, I still have not written anything on the preparation that I have made for the new year. This year, I did not make as many cookies and snacks as previous years.

This year I have only made pineapple tarts, nori crisps, kuih rose and fried crab sticks. I made the kuih rose together with mum when she was here. I would have make a few more type of cookies if not because of the chicken pox that the 3 of us contracted the last few weeks.

These photos explained all my hardwork...

I have also sewn a skirt for Cheryl to wear during CNY.

Agar-Agar Dessert

I have many packets of agar-agar powder and agar-agar stripes in my house. I bought these during the Mid-Autumn Festival when I made my maiden agar-agar mooncake. The leftover unused agar-agar powder and stripes have been sitting in my drawer since then waiting for me to transform them into something edible and yet pretty.

I also have 2 pieces of palm sugar (Gula Melaka) sitting in my cabinet for very long. When I bought these palm sugar, I have no idea yet as to what I am going to do with them. I just feel like buying them then. So they ended up lying in the cabinet waving at me everytime I open the cabinet, seems like asking me to turn them into something...

So, one day, I thought why not I just combine the 2 ingredients and turn them into beautiful masterpiece. That is the story how I ended up making agar-agar that taste exactly like cendol.

Christmas Gift

It has been quite sometime since I last receive a present. So obviously I will be beaming happily when I receive a present on Christmas Day. Although it is not any expensive thing, it is still something special for me as it is a PRESENT. I love opening a present. Hahahaha.....

Tadaaaaaaaa....




This is my present...
