It's beginning to look like Christmas.......

Seeing a lot of friends making Christmas goodies, i'm beginning to feel the Christmas spirits rounding in me. As i have no confidence in making Christmas log cake, neither do i know how to make ginger bread man or ginger bread house, but the itch to make something to complement the Christmas spirits is "killing" me (heehee.....), as such i attempted this brownies which was taught in 厨房笔记. All i need to do is complete it with some Christmas decorations, viola! Here comes my Christmas Brownies:

The rest are taken with my lousy digital camera.

i'm dreaming of a white christmas
just like the ones i used to know.
where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.
i'm dreaming of a white christmas
with every christmas card i write.
may your days be merry and bright.
and may all your christmases be white.

Png Kueh

It had been a long time since i last post my cooking. Since i wake up early today, i was planning to do something 1st before i head off to Suntec City book fair. Since i saw so many of my bakery friends making this PNG KUEH, i decided to give it a try.

See how i transform the above glutinuous rice to this PNG KUEH below:

A close upAlthough the PNG KUEH is soft and tasty enough to be eaten on its own, my family still likes to refry it again till crispy and add sweet sauce and chilli before eating.

Making this kueh can be quite tedious especially when kneading the dough. I had actually converted my kitchen into a war zone after effect. Haha.... wanted to snap a picture of it, however, my hand is full with flour from the dough, therefore abandon the idea. Anyway, friends may think i'm crazy to take a picture of such unsightly kitchen, heehee........Ok, back to the kueh again. Like what i said, it's quite tedious. It's not the making of the kueh, but the cleaning up after it is such a chore. Actually making this kueh can be quite fun. Molding it is so enjoying. It's especially enjoying when i see my family wallop all the kueh in 1 evening. ;) *wink wink*

Indulgence

2 weeks back while window shopping, there's this beauty facial road show going on. Some how or the other, being persuaded to test out the product on the spot. Quite satisfied with the beautician service. After that, was being persuaded to buy this voucher for a full facial trial in the beauty saloon. Normally, i'm not easily persuaded into buying this type of things, well, probably because i don't really earn enough for me to indulge in this type of luxury. However, i was really happy with the beautician and i thought, it really have been a long time since i last give myself this type of treat, and it's really worth it as it is very much more cheaper than any other well know salon's offer, so why not give myself a "spring cleaning". haha......

Before setting off, there's this wet blanket that really puts me off. 1st warn me against signing any package deal, next warn me that the locker provided for me could be break open, so on and so for....... Hello, as if i'm spending your money. Hello, i didn't ok. What i'm spending is my own money and not forgetting i'm also financing your expenses too, from house, car to food. Which single cent isn't coming from my pocket? What right have you got to stop me from spoiling myself once in a while. Do you mean that i must thrift so as to support your gambling habit? Get off my back and stop bugging me, i hate it.

Well, i didn't want to tell you off right in your face anymore. Not after what happened a few weeks back when i told you off. Not that i'm afraid. Just that i'm controlling .........

I still didn't sign any thing afterall. Sigh.........
