Braised Pork Ribs with Peanut Butter and Chilli sauce ~ 辣椒和花生酱炖排骨

Have you ever tried to cook with peanut butter?  I was clearing my refridgerator and found some peanut butter which was due to expire soon and since there wasn't much left, might as well use it up.
So I came up with this recipe for pork ribs to be cooked with some peanut butter and chilli sauce and surprisingly I wasn't disappointed as the dish turned out finger licking good!

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.

Kuih Bangkit ~ CNY 2010

I recently made this Chinese New Year cookie, 'Kuih Bangkit' for my daughter to  bring back to Melbourne. As Chinese New Year is barely a month away, thought it best to post it now, perhaps you may like to try it out.  These cookies are not too sweet,  with a tinge of pandan fragrance coupled with a sweet taste of coconut ...... yummy.  They do keep well if they're thoroughly baked and they melt in the mouth!
