    Sonia, I wasn't a fan of pumpkin but my other half is and he's always bugging me to cook dishes with pumpkin. Now, I quite like it too because it's very nutritious.

    hey, my mum used to cook this dish for us when we were young:D I quite like it but my sons don't so doesn't look like I am going to be able to eat this for quite sometime, unless I intend to eat it all by myself.

    Oh, yam is also my favourite.

    Dried shrimps. There are a few types, the bigger ones are slightly dearer.

    Pumpkin has plenty of goodness, a rich source of beta-carotene.

    Kristy
    Oh, thanks, will do in a jiffy.

    Mary
    Thanks, perhaps you can substitute with butternut squash.

    My mum-in-law cooked this once, so good! I think she puts turmeric inside too.

    For colour you mean? On its own, the colour is just great, never tried adding in turmeric though.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Pumpkin Carrot Cake

I have never tried baking cakes with raw pumpkin and was glad when Amy Beh shared a recipe for Pumpkin Carrot Cake.  The moist cake tasted good, the sweet pumpkin blended well with the slightly sourish cranberries.  I have reduced the sugar somewhat and tweaked the method too.  I'll be baking this again for the Chinese New Year.  This cake was an instant hit with my family ....... Try it!
