Foodelicious!

Yup.. this cookie is a cure all, all time favorite!! yup, good to make when one is depressed and sad because it's so easy to make.. good to eat when one is down and feeling rotten because it taste soooooo goood!!, good to look at and smell heavenly when one is on a diet and have to resist such wicked temptations... Yup! this is it...

This big fat chewy chunky cookie has over the years gone thru many adjustments to arrive as it is today. For one, I cut down a bit of the sugar.. not too much, if not it will affect the chewiness.. added on lovely whole (mind you, not chopped or far far in between) round macadamias and generous handfuls of dark chocolate chunks. Yes, you heard me right.. dark chocolate chunks. I am not a fan of chocolate chips.. I find such tiny morsels very frustrating.. hence, always uses chunks whenever I can.... Hehehehehe...

So, when these chunks of dark chocolate melts into the cookie, it gives a heavenly aroma.. oooo.. and and and not forgetting.. when you sink your teeth into it..OOoooo..... heavenly!! and the nuts.. oooh.. you gotta try this!! The whole nuts just burst into this awesome nutty flavor in your mouth and together with the chunks of chocolate.. one cannot be faulted for thinking that one has died and gone to heaven!!

Yes, just like in any cookie, texture of the cookie is very important.. you cannot discount the fact that this cookie's texture is a winner.. really chewy but retain a light crisp on top simply make one eat till until drop! Hahahaha.,,.

Yes, these are being sold... and I have yet to work out the cost.. because I am busy stuffing my face with this cookie! Hahahahaha.. call to enquire..

A repeat of last year's creation... why not? since it was a sell out and this year, it was a request from the customers! Hahahahaha... These made perfect gift for all and what can you ask for for the price of RM25?? Good cheers, great flavor shortbread and most all, pretty looking thing to give!

Oh this is another item requested by my customers!! Well, even if they dont request, I will make this as I love this.. with the cool and rainy weather, it's so good to munch on this. The heat from the fresh ginger I used discreetly warms you up as you munch on this crispy and aromatic cookie.. Santa would be very happy with this! Hehehehe..

This was sold for RM25 each... and just like the shortbread above, it was a sold out! Again, I am blessed..

My friend wanted something different...With a bad throat and cough, she wanted something light and refreshing and I come up with this! Hehehe.. I just wanted an excuse to create... and she gave me the perfect excuse! So, with some yogurt, some fresh strawberries, I made this chiffon cake..

The taste is fab!! For one, it has yogurt.. so, it was something very appetizing.. for another, it has strawberries... Frankly, I think the US strawberries will be nicer for this cake as it will add a more vibrant and fragrant aroma to the cake... but unfortunately, all there is in season now are korean strawberries.. and I find them not suitable for cake.. anyway, thank god this turned good.... hehehehehe..

So, my dear friend with a bad throat and cough had her treat... a very refreshing treat! hehehehe...

I was in a very arty farty mood when I created this cheesecake. I wanted something to suit the friend I was making this cheesecake for. It was a friend whom I have known for 25 years!! This friend always reminded me of something that is fanciful and fun and I had this idea of having strawberry compote swirl together with blueberry and apricot puree on a cheesecake and the look was exactly what I would like to make for my friend.

The taste of this creation is also simply divine.. The 3 different types of fruits in its different texture combine very well with the cheesecake I made which is light and luxurious. The whole effect is further enhanced with a chocolate cookie base. As for the taste, I must say it is terribly yummy... I took 2nd helping!! Wakakakakaka...

This cheese cake is priced at RM95.

Abundance was created for a customer who wanted something simple but yet classic to be given away as Chinese New Year gift. The budget given nothing more than RM50 each and I came up with this! Abundance!

Its concept is very traditional...3 containers stack up just like a tiffin carrier and its content are addictive pineapple tarts, melt in the mouth traditional kueh bangkit and to balance things up, something modern.. almond biscotti.. All 3 stacked up and hold together with a thin strip of red ribbon and decorated with a cute hand emboideried butterfly.

This was sold at RM45 each with a minimum order of 20 sets...

This is Kueh Bangkit.. I have been selling this for the last 2 years and the response has always been overwhelming. This is sold at RM26 per container and believe me that there are a lot in that container..

Biscotti.. Almond biscotti actually. This is my new creation for this Gong Xi Fa Cai season. It is not hard to make.. but I need to borrow my friend's slicer to do it. Commercial slicer that is.. Hehehe... yes, the steps involved is a bit tedious but the result is well worth it.. it produced thinly sliced biscuits that are crispy and addictive! This is sold at RM24 per container.

Tarts!! Yes, pineapple tarts... this year, I have decided to do rolled up tarts instead. Reason being is cost. The usual open faced tarts are more expensive to make and with the ever raising cost of goods, I doubt anyone will want to buy those tarts. Where else, this cost lesser to make and since I was able to come up with a pastry that is light and doesnt coat the tongue, I was excited to make this for sale this year! This is sold at RM32 per container that will have approximately 40-42 pieces.

With these yummy cookies, I am all ready for Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year... yes!! it is my favorite time of the year again and I am doing my favorite things.. making pretty xmas cookies!! This year I have decided to flavor the dough with something zesty.. hehehe.. And as for gingerbread man, this year I have decided to make my own ground ginger and nothing beats home ground ginger!! These gingerbread man is awesome.. addictively awesome!! Try them..

The thing is this.. with my hampers, nothing is strictly by the books.. I, afterall, am here to create great gifts to please your recipients... So, do call if you like to have such lovely gifts made.

This is Kueh Bangkit. It is made from tapioca flour, santan and of course sugar. This is one of the most traditional cookies for CNY and also my favorite!(Yes, I seem to have a lot.. I mean A LOT of favorite... sigh.. hence, the size!)

The process to make superb Kueh Bangkit is tedious and plenty..hence, the price of RM28 per container of melt in the mouth, full of flavor with just enough sweetness kueh bangkit.. Yes, it must have enough santan and sweetness to make this cookie delicious... if not, it will be like eating tapioca flour.. a mouth full of dust!

The shorter bottle is filled with peanut candy. Heh! Heh! Heh! also my favorite. The trick with peanut candy is peanuts must be really fresh and selected to remove the "dodgy" looking ones. After that, you gotta roast them in a wok.. frying them constantly in a fire that is neither too big or small. Too big fire it will hangus these mighty nuts and you will have to throw them away and start all over again. Too small fire will result in soft peanuts.. like lemau/lau fung..something to do with not enough heat to convert the starch in these mighty peanuts into pre-carbon stage. (this is science la)

After frying, you gotta remove skin of the peanuts, that's the fun part! Heh! Heh! Heh! once that is done, you will look like a walking confetti with bits of peanut skin stuck all over you!! Awesome or what? Of course, the next step is about how quick your hands work.. melt the sugar, cook it till it is caramel but dont burn it, pour the hot molten caramel onto the peanuts and flatten and cut.. all done before the caramel hardens. This, I must say is an ART! And you gotta pay for eating art.. RM28 for 550gm of arty peanut candy!

It is a busy time for me now... all the baking and cleaning is making my head spin! Wooo hooo.. In this picture, you see the ever famous pineapple tarts and new funky cheesey cheeky biscuits.

Pineapple tarts.. my favorite CNY snack.. the pineapple mustnt be too mushy or soft or blended.. it must have some bite in the jam. As for the taste.. I definitely am no big fan of sweet and nothing else but sweet tasting jam. There must be a balance of sweetness and pineapple tanginess. And the pastry, oh.. pastry is everything in jam tart.. it must be light and melt in the mouth without that heavy coating on the tongue feeling. Combine them together, you will get great pineapple tarts....so, try and imagine the work needed to make awesome tarts and that's why I charge a bomb for it.. RM24 for a box of 24 tarts..


The cheesey cheeky biscuit is what I made for fun.. I wanted something different.. something savory and this biscuit simply fit the bill. If tart pastry is light and melt in the mouth, this biscuit is crunchy and crispy. Hehehe.. opposite attracts? And the best part is this biscuit is so full of cheesey flavour.. Yummms!!

These little dark squares of rich dark chocolate cookies are sandwiched with a minty swirl of not too sweet luxury cream and the result is..... non stop popping! Hehehehe...

As for the cookie, this is not a crispy crunchy texture but rather a shortbread texture. The reason being is that I have omitted shortening from the recipe... yah, shortening is trans fat and they are very bad news to your heart and arteries! Infact, a lot of places around the world has started to get tough with this product by banning it completely. Hence, the texture is more like shortbread and yes, it will take people awhile to get used it...

Anyway, the feedback from sampling exercise was very encouraging and perhaps next year, I will sell this in a big scale! Woo Hooo!!!
