More Pics of my Pineapple Tarts

I promise this will be the last of any post on pineapple tarts.  For this year, that is.  I just can’t resist posting up these 2 pics after a massive baking project over the weekend.

Rows and rows of piping hot tarts cooling on the rack after removing from the oven.

Into the tubs they go!
I am halfway through fulfilling the orders […]

Unsolicited Pineapple Tarts Sales

I’m feeling happy and troubled at the same time; happy because my tarts apparently taste good enough to warrant unsolicited sales enquiries, but troubled because I am running on such a tight schedule.  It doesn’t help that the coming Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights have been reserved for reunion dinners and that I’m flying off to Japan […]

2007 Pineapple Tarts

The verdict is out, and I’m happy to annouce that I do not have to give up baking pineapple tarts for good!  I am not boasting, but I think of tarts that I’ve been making for the past 4 years and I think this year’s beats them all thumbs down.
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 […]

Sugee Cookies

I don’t know the origin of Sugee Cookies, but I believe this sort of cookies is one of a kind since it requires the use of semolina flour.  Not many cookies out there require the usage of such flour.
I am just so mad at myself, for I wanted to bake some of these cookies with local […]

Kueh Lapis I

This is how my kueh lapis turned out after trying out the recipe from Valerie’s workshop last night.  I thought it doesn’t look too bad, but there’s definitely room for improvement.  For one, I need to make each layer thinner so that there are more layers.
Oh well, I have to give myself some leeway.  Afterall, it […]

Valerie Kong’s Latest Baking Workshops

Many visitors to my blog continue to ask me for the recipe of the jellyhearts.  I feel compelled to repeat myself; I am not able to share the recipe because I am not able to obtain the permission of both the creator of the recipe or the person who shared it with me.  I implore […]

As promised, here are the pics of some of the cookies I baked for my sis over the last weekend.  Just packed them into the containers a couple of days ago.  And thankfully I met her deadline.

I’m BACK… I hope…

It’s been more than a month since I last baked.  I really apologise for being so inconsiderate, and I thank the 5,000 over hits in November in spite of my inactivity on the blog.
Well… I baked last weekend.  It wasn’t exactly that I have all the time in the world for that indulgence; more like I had […]
