Walnut Coffee Chiffon Cake ~ 核桃咖啡戚风蛋糕

 

This is a soft and light coffee chiffon cake and I tweaked it a bit by adding in some chopped walnuts for some crunch.   One will never tire with having a piece of chiffon cake with your favourite hot cuppa as it's refreshing and can be served at all times of the day and on any occasion.

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.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕
