The other day my younger sister requested me to make some butter cookies for her..As she was craving for butter cookies that not too strong of buttery and milky aroma, and importantly not taste too sweet. She use to buy this type of butter cookies from a CNY cookie seller but this seller is no longer supplying cookies. Luckily her "Ah Chi " (mean sister in Hokkien dialect) knows how to make cookies for her now ^_^

Chinese New Year Delights 2013_round up (6)

Looking at the good respond given to my CNY delights event. If i could make the round up posting look more organize and interesting, look something like this , then it will be perfect! And if i can have it organized by category, easy for you to seach for the recipe..Also make it a permanent platform for peoples to look for CNY delights. But I know i can only dream now, because i don't know how to customize this and have to use blogger which has limit option when doing posting! Anyway, i will try to think a better option after CNY if i can think of one..
OK, lets check round up (6), this time i have increased the number of post from 20 posts to 30 posts, so you have more choices to try before CNY.

Matcha Cranberry Cookies 抹茶蔓越莓饼干

At first, I was thinking to make Matcha  Dragon Cookies for my 1st post of Chinese New Year cookies. Since this year is a Snake year, so thinking to add matcha to become green and look like snake skin colour.

Creme Brulee

I have been quite busy for the past few days, experimenting with new CNY cookies, and this year I also starting to take small order of homemade CNY cookies..and realized that making cookies really take up a lot of times, so i actually not really hard working of promoting my cookies, because i afraid i can't cope with it ^_^..

Ya, today recipe is about Creme Brulee, a pudding that i wanted to try after i bought a blow torch a year ago..Finally i got an excuse to try out because i have many egg yolks left after making macarons..

Easy Sweet Sambal with Gula Melaka

You might thought that i did not like nasi lemak anymore since you did not see me cook nasi lemak so frequently. In fact, we are still enjoying nasi lemak, but we bought it from outside more often as we found a stall selling good nasi lemak near my area..

Anyway, yesterday i just cooked nasi lemak with this easy sambal recipe from my blogger friend Makcik Manggis and using the good gula melaka (palm sugar) given by Penang bloggers .

Chinese New Year Delights 2013 and giveaway, 新春送礼

A 3 days 2 nights trip to Penang (Unesco sites and Wall drawings)

Just like to update of what we have eaten and visited for the 3 days 2 nights to Penang (the main purpose was to attend year end countdown party) ..

Year end countdown party in Penang, 2012 倒数夜

Penang was the last stop for Jessie to meet up bloggers during her short visit back home here. And just so coincidence my hubby has to attend a wedding dinner there, so i grap this opportunity to follow him and joined this countdown party at Eileen's house..We had a great time there , so many yummy foods that prepared by Eileen, Joceline, Mandy, Casey, Angie and San San...

Earl Grey Macarons with Cherry Compote Buttercream

How was your New Year celeberation? For us, we went up to north Penang to join a year end countdown party which organized by Penang bloggers. We had a wonderful night. But I will post this event a bit later because there are too many pictures to sort out..I also brought them some homemade Siew Yok ( roast pork) and this macaron.

I was busy and keep doing macarons for the past two weeks. This is because some of batches I did were failed and with my never give up spirit, i keep experiment it and now I have more confidence to make nice macarons..Frankly, I don't appreciate macarons because they are too sweet for my liking, but  I like to make them because i feel proud when i have beautiful macarons ^_^ and also there is demand (my niece, my daughter and her friends all like macarons). I also like to admire their nice skirts..
