Dear readers, Happy New Year 2010!!! (I know… I know… it’s 11 days into the new year)
I’m juggling a few things in my hand right now. Plus Chinese New Year is around the corner (5 weeks plus only!). I need to make plans for baking CNY cookies as well. Will reveal more once I know where I’m going.
Meantime you can check out some of the past CNY cookies I’ve made:
1. Sugee Cookies
2. Kuih Kapit aka Love Letters
3. Ribbon Cookies
4. Dragon Cookies
5. Margarine Cookies
6. Oatmeal Crispies
Okay for now let’s concentrate on making a simple snack. It’s called All Spice Parmesan Mini Twist, a finger food that’s perfect for me since I like munching while working. :P
This recipe is adapted from Kay’s Dutch Girl Cooking: Parmesan Twist recipe. I tweaked a little and add in my choice of favorite ingredient.

Can you believe I have never tasted Sago Pudding before? True. This should not be a problem for me since I’m a Malaysian and this being an Asian dessert. There’s no excuse except I can’t seem to find them anywhere! Dessert shop? zilch. Malay store? takda. Chinese tong sui shop? mei yo… Does anyone know why we can’t find sago pudding easily in dessert shop?
In this post I’m going to show you how I made them (first time) and share with you my preparation tips. :P This is a recipe that uses very simple ingredients (sago, palm sugar & coconut milk) and yet the result is totally out of this world.

I got hold of a lovely french bread or baguette the other day from Jaya Grocer. I didn’t plan to get anything from the bakery actually but the heavenly smell of freshly baked bread is OHMYGOD so intoxicating!
I went nuts.
“What’s that smell? What’s that smell?”
Literally ignoring the stare of the security man there.
“Ohmygod which bread is giving out that smell? Which bread huh?”
It wasn’t french bread that did that to me but I choose to bring Mr. French home because I’ve not had french bread for a long time. LOL
I have a choice of making pudding bread or bruschetta using Mr. French. I choose the latter.

I had a splendid breakfast last weekend eating what else… but Bak Kut Teh. My sister had dined in Teluk Pulai (Claypot) Bak Kut Teh Restaurant @ Taman Intan (near Taman Rashna), Klang countless of time but it was a first for me and our parents. Funny though they name the restaurant Teluk Pulai when in actual the place is located at Taman Intan. Hehe
There are quite a number of Bak Kut Teh restaurants at Taman Intan. All within few meters away. However Teluk Pulai (Claypot) Bak Kut Teh Restaurant is the busiest of them all. We were lucky we didn’t have to wait at all even though there are others who came earlier than us having to wait… Lady luck I guess. :)

Pickled Cucumber with Chili is a very simple & easy side dish to make. There’s no cooking or baking involved. Perfect for kitchen n00b like my mom. Ahem. Ahemmm… :P
This age-old recipe is from my beloved grandma. According to her she had made this dish before she were even married. The time when my great grandparents were still here. Ahh I miss my Ah Chor (great grandma). This recipe is over half century old. An antique recipe!
Because this is my grandma’s recipe, I’m pleased to have her prepare this dish for us. So don’t freak out when you see the hands of an old woman in the pictures below. They’re wise & experience hands. :)
This is the simplest dish you can make and not failed. Okay?
