    Ginger sounds great to me especially in winter. It makes everything so much more comforting.

    Yes, they come in very handy indeed and this ginger paste is versatile too, can substitute with fish as well.

    Angie, perhaps it's time to get cracking!

    Ginger paste here is costly so I make my own. Prepared this dish not long ago, added some sesame oil and wine and it tasted delicious

    Most kids don't like ginger must admit.

    Making your own is not that difficult, cook more and store it in a bottle and keep refrigerated.

    This is a perfect dish. I always like to add minced ginger or ginger juice in the chicken. Just love the flavor of ginger.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.
