Zo Xin Jia Kuih

This is my third time celebrating Chinese New Year here..
somewhere where the festival doesn't seemingly belong to.

I love eating CNY cookies so much.
But I could hardly find it here, especially those which are authentic and traditional.
Even if i could get them, they would probably cost me loads.

S0... I decided to make it myself..



I had been looking up on various kind of recipes from some really great Malaysian food blogs
and a length I made up my mind.
Fortunately, most materials could be found (in Asda or town)..


Cornflakes Cookies (Recipe)




Almond Cookies (Recipe)





Pineapple Tart (Recipe)

Pineapple tart is always my favorite!
As a beginner, it was a real challenge for me as I was told that it wasn't easy to do
(the recipe looked simple though). Particularly, making a good one.

I still gave it a shot.

It took me 3-4 hours making the pineapple jam (......).
Unfortunately, it turned out to be too wet (......).
Aanyway, it tasted alright.

I started to have a tough time while wrapping the cookie with the sticky and buttery dough.
It was 10 times harder that what I thought!

Look..


They all almost 'run shape'..
I spent some time on getting the hang of making it in a right & better looking shape..
This was the best i could do..

(......)



A bit more left after giving out.

Finally, these were what I got ..
It wasn't too shitty, not perfect (Ngam ngam ho lol..)


Simple packaging to make it looked even more delicious LOL.

What I have been enlightened from this lesson:

~I am the 'house' man.
~ Buy a new camera. It should retire now.
~This year I 犯太岁.

(Had too much cookies and I was seriously ill for 3 days. On '30th night', it was the reunion of tablets and 'mi sua' in my stomach. I recovered on the 3rd day and during work, my 5 fingers on my left hand was scalded by boiling water.)

p/s:
For those who helped me,
Thanks for helping me.
