Pooch Food : Garlic Cheese Cookies

I have been away longer than promised, but I have a perfectly good reason - my hard disk crashed.  And so, I have to wait for a few days before gettting a new PC, and a couple more days before the hubby gets Adobe Photoshop installed on my new PC.
Brought my two golden retrievers out […]

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Lunar New Year is around the corner again.  How time flies!
Like everyone else, I will be busy visiting relatives, dodging sensitive questions, gorging myself silly with CNY goodies and generally having a good time.

I have Valarie to thank […]

Pineapple Tarts - My Style

They are my absolute favourite and a must-have during Chinese New Year, even more so over love-letters, kueh lapis, cornflake cookies and bak kwa.  And if you ask me, I think my Ah Kim bakes the best pineapple tarts in the world!  She makes the best pastry (salty enough for my liking) and she cooks […]
