okie...first post of the new year! though it comes a bit late..i still manage to upload it in Jan.

..let see...this year, I decide to forgo all resolutions..haha what the point of making promises when I know I will not be able to keep it...
Decide to do more baking.. .(hmm is that a resolution?? haha)

Let see what I have been up to.. .. .
I made Ondeh Ondeh.. ...the traditionally type kind...with mashed sweet poatates and pure gula melaka filling. ..oh man...a small simple ball.. ..but the making not as simple as it looks! I have to steam the sweet potatoes..mashed it.. .combined with flour and other ingredients to make it into a dough.. ..then chop the gula melaka into small pieces and finally rolled into a ball....then it down into a pot of boiling water and then rolling it around steamed coconut shreds...before we get to eat the humble ondeh ondeh!
Think I do not have to go gym to tone up my arms..haha just have to mash the sweet pototaes everyday.. my arms ache...

Next item on the baking sheet!
Pineapple tarts! Since I learn how to bake, I have been baking only western goodies...decide maybe it time I try to learn how to make CNY goodies...hee..so decide to tackle the most popular item...PINEAPPLE TARTS..
now been told that it is not easy to make a good pineapple tarts...and that the texture should be crumbly, melt in your mouth and the pineapple jam has to be fragrant yet not overpowering and not to sweet either...hmmm for someone who do not eat pineapple tart...this gonna be a huge task! haha ......people were asking..if you never taste pineapple tart before..how are you gonna make it.. .never fear! I have lot of samplers at home...haha...mi parents are gonna be my guinea pigs...
And also found out that my favourite CNY goodies is known as Kueh Bohlu! I always describe it as the "soft, spongy base ball looking thingy ... " haha..which left a lot of people scratching their head in confusion...
I wanna try making that too....but first of all..will need to get hold of the mould.. ..

Wil upload photos ASAP...getting a bit lazy with uploading the photos...
