ROM Favours
There are wedding favours, and then there are ROM favours.
For the benefit of non-local readers (if any), I shall explain what ROM refers to. In the strictest sense, ROM refers to the Registry of Marriage in Singapore but we Singaporeans who are fond of abbreviating everything have taken to calling the solemnization of a marriage simply as ‘ROM-ing’.
At 12.30 pm on 07.07.07, an endearing couple I know of are ‘ROM-ing’ at a lovely club. S & T are the loveliest couple I’ve ever met. They are both such nice people they really deserve to have the most blissful marriage.
About a month ago, T, the bride-to-be approached me and asked if I could teach her to bake so she could bake her own ROM favours. I agreed without any hesitation.
I spent the next few days browsing through all my baking books and searching online looking for the best recipe possible. After some trial and error and discussion, we settled on the simple butter cookies recipe because the cookies keep really well and are tasty as well!
I hope S & T’s 60 guests will like the ROM favours T painstakingly learnt to bake. And I wish S & T a blissful and happy marriage!

Hi,
May I know where did you buy the gingerbread cookie cutters? How much did you pay? Thanks!
Hi awhuang,
I got an ex-colleague to get the cookie cutters from Hong Kong for me. Not sure where he got them though. Sorry.
