Butterless Chocolate Chip Cookies (Made with oil) ~ 用油制成的巧克力曲奇

 


I tried making these chocolate chip cookies with oil as I ran out of butter.  Always curious to try out any new ingredients I gave it a go.  I wasn't disappointed at all as the cookies turned out delicious and tasted good, except that I should have added in some brown sugar to give them a better darker colour.

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.
