The Hunt for Pineapple Paste

Just now my mum and I went to 3 places in search for pineapple tart jam. We're going to make pineapple tarts!! :) Hahaha macam we celebrate Chinese New Year.

There was only one ingredient left to buy, which was the pineapple paste. My mum said the shop she always buy from didn't have stock, so we went to see if NTUC and Cold Storage have it. But then! Disappointed lah! Both don't have lor! Cold Storage ran out of stock, NTUC didn't even have it I guess. Wah so many people making pineapple tarts meh!! Cannot be lah! Even during the Hari Raya period the pineapple paste wasn't out of stock.

Then we went Chong Pang my favourite pasar to buy groceries and to see if really the stock hasn't come in yet. And lo and behold! We found it!! Hahaha. At first we found pineapple paste of another brand, but since we really needed it, the brand didn't matter lah. We're going to modify the paste anyway. Then!! At another rack, my mum found the brand we usually buy! Wah my mum was so excited macam we struck gold! Wahahahaha

It's been a few weeks since I've been to Chong Pang, so I haven't seen the CNY stuff they're selling and all. I tell you! Don't have to go Chinatown also can! Mini Chinatown rite there lor! CNY songs can be heard in almost every store! So many types of decor can be found! I was looking out for Yin's dancing pig but I couldn't find it. But there are other dancing stuff lah. Like dancing ingots. Hahaha. And there's soo many cute pigs! Wahahaha. But I think the bak kwa collection here is not as extensive. HAHAHA.

CNY like so fun lydat hor! :)

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius. 

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
