Hi there! If you already know, I love making Chinese New Year (CNY) snacks and goodies but only the  easy ones . Until I have more time (read: the kids are older), I will not attempt time consuming goodies like pineapple tarts and sort. These Florentine Mixed Nuts Crisps have been in my CNY to-do list for at least 4 years! However, it somehow got pushed down the list while I did other easy goodies like crispy seaweed-codfish & cranberries cornflakes cookies (≧∇≦), until my dear friend gift me a tub of her homemade flavorful nutty crisps last year, that I remind myself to make some this year! Thinner version I like my florentine crisps thin and filled with toasted nutty fragrance! You may increase the amount of florentine powder in this recipe if you prefer thicker texture. Thicker version （╹◡╹）♡ If you tried any recipes on my humble blog and would like to share on your blog or any other social media platforms, please copy and include the URL so it'll link back t

I had been thinking about making a soup that is nourishing and flavorful, at the same time presentable for Chinese New Year (CNY) dinner. Then I saw coconuts at the supermarket and recalled seeing posts of chicken soup in coconut. That gave me an idea and here's my recipe for Fortune Double-boiled Chicken Soup in Coconut . I hope you will like this as much as we did! The light herbal complements the natural sweet tasting soup!

Hi, everyone! I realise my last post was in November! 2 long months of neglecting this lil space! We went to Bangkok & Huahin during the December school holidays, which I hope to blog about soon! ♡ But for now, it's a simple recipe of XO sauce braised Ee-fu noodles! Both my boys love eating ee-fu noodles, which is so simple to cook and I usually do non-spicy for them.  Recipe link here . But today, I fry up a mild spicy version using  Fortune brand  original dried scallop in XO sauce. I also added Locos and Abalone sauce from the same brand. （╹◡╹）♡ If you tried any recipes on my humble blog and would like to share on your blog or any other social media platforms, please copy and include the URL so it'll link back to me.
