Almond Flavored Sugee Cookies

I was just playing or experimenting with my cookies. Instead of the vanilla extract, I used almond extract instead. The cookies turned out great, just as yummy. Guess this is a short-cut way for those of us who don't have ground almond on hands. I saw one sugi cookie recipe that uses ground almond, so I experiment with almond extract. I wonder why they called it sugi cookie instead of almond cookie when ground almond is used? Any idea?

I love this picture of them. Their daddy managed to catch them smiling together, priceless!

This is her at exactly 3 months!

Finally, I managed to catch her smiling or laughing?

She loves taking bath, just like her big sister!

Youg Tau Foo 2

I have been searching for a sauce recipe for my Yong Tau Foo and so glad to find it at Rasa Malaysia. I just had to try it since I have all the ingredients at home.

I marinated my fish meat emulsion with just white peppers and sesame oil and stuffed it in fresh white mushrooms, okras and small taufu poks.

Her yellow bean sauce is simply delicious, perfect for the yong tau foo. I definitely going to make this sauce again and again. Yummilicious!!

Thanks Rasa Malaysia! :D

Sugee Cookies/ Sugi Cookies

I decided to try another recipe for my CNY cookies collection, Sugi Cookies because of its' simplicity. This cookie is delicious, it's crunchy when you bite into it and then simply melt-in-the-mouth.

Chinese Peanut Cookies

Finally I made Jo's peanut cookies that I have been eyeing since last year! The original recipe can be found at IK (under cookies/biscuit section). I only did 1/4 of the recipe because I only have 80g of ground peanuts at home. So, I testing out this recipe earlier preparing for the CNY ahead.

Coconut Filling Buns

I decided to make coconut buns after I saw this at Pusiva's blog. It reminded me of what I used to have in M'sia. Since I just bought a package of shredded coconut, I decided to make the coconut filling and freeze it for future use. I used Pusiva's Coconut Filling recipe. As for the buns, I used Gina's Basic Sweet Buns recipe. With the filling ready in the freezer, I can whip up coconut buns anytime.

This is just a delicious bun, the Gula Melaka that I used in the filling made the coconut smelled heavenly while baking and tasty to eat. Do give this a try ya if you miss coconut buns! :)
