It’s about every food I’ve cooked with heart and loves
Post & Recipe in English and Chinese (中英食谱)
“One of the best festive gifts, BBQ sliced pork made into gold coin shape. Tasty and symbolizing.”
“新年佳节送礼首选的金钱肉干，美味，容易入口，也寓意着金钱入口（袋）。”
Home baked products are usually better in quality, and most importantly, it goes easier on your wallet. Free from MSG, preservative, and artificial flavor & coloring. You can even make different flavors and shapes.
“Bird nest incorporated into pineapple paste filling, just feeling luscious this Lunar festival.”
Making these into cake blocks in order to stuff in more bird nest into its pineapple filling. The chunks of pineapple cake would look more generous this way.
“In between orange French toast and banana bread pudding, to be served with loads of fruit toppings.”
I admit I wasn’t that creative in cooking at times. As this blog of MY was meant to be a record of my home cooking so as to pass down the recipes in a digital way to my next gen in future. I thought of just as well sharing it with all people who loved cooking, or would like to start cooking with some easy-to-follow recipes and scrumptious enough dishes. Thus, the sharing.
Like I mentioned before, some of the dishes were adapted from recipes by other great cooks. What I usually did is to vary and simplify these nice recipes to suit my simple cooking style.. There were also those popular dine-out dishes and delicacies which we loved to eat so much, but to make sure what exactly went into the dishes, I turned them into my very own homecooked, in a healthier way and less sinful elements in it.
“Anytime, any day, with these light tasted biscuits, actually.”
With the recipe’s name, you know it was for the day. Oh, sorry.. it’s just butter biscuit, actually. Since today’s Valentine’s Day which coincides with Lunar Renri (Human’s birthday in Chinese), it seemed like a big day that I had to do something.. Simple baking, but I tried to make some of my biscuits into heart shape, just for the sake of the festive. :D
Crispy on the crust, and cottony soft inside. That’s the wonder of using buttermilk in the recipe. To make cottony soft texture of a bake. Yes, that’s the trick.
“Creamy enough, yet a zesty refreshment.”
Baked cheese cake is always very yummy to eat. Sometimes, the creamy taste of the cheese might be over powering before even I could finish up the whole slice. So, adding orange peels to the cheese cake is surely a great and refreshing choice. So zesty.
So, try my recipe. :)
“Baked these potatoes, and make it part of your festive meal. I did, on Christmas Eve dinner.”
Actually this was just my usual jacket potato where potato was baked and filled with cheese, sour cream and bacon bits. I called it the Christmas Eve Jacket Potato simple due to my strict yearly cooking of this as part of the set dinner only on the Christmas Eve.
I think I already had a similar post on Jacket Potato a while ago, but it’s ok. Here’s the revised version with different combination of toppings, anyway. Starting from Jacket Potato, I would post the revised recipe for the other two dishes in due. :)
