Crunchy Chocolate Chunk Cookies 巧克力豆曲奇

Crunchy chocolate chip chunk cookies!

I can’t say how much I love to try out different cookie recipes, because my husband loves those crunchy Famous Amos cookies!

I kind of like the look of these cookies, and they are slightly sweeter than this recent cookie recipe I have tried. Due to the higher sugar content, these chocolate chunk cookies are also crunchier and sturdier.

Golden Salted Egg Yolk Pineapple Tarts 黄金咸蛋黄黄梨酥

Pineapple tarts have to be one of our favourite pastries for Chinese New Year in Singapore!

I super, super love pineapple tarts. These little tarts are usually made using butter, egg yolk, flour, and occasionally corn starch and milk powder. From its ingredient list, you’ll know that this is a rich, buttery and tender pastry!

This year, I saw this salted egg yolk pineapple tart, shared by Zoe on a Facebook group I am in. It sounds interesting, and since my husband loves salted egg yolk, I thought of trying it out.

I was glad I did!

Easy Bak Kut Teh 肉骨茶

Sometime late last year, we had really cool weather, which was perfect for hot soup, stews and curries!

Bak Kut Teh was one of our favourites! This peppery soup gets its name “meat bone tea” in Hokkien, which is pork ribs simmered in a peppery broth, made with herbs and spices. The word “tea” refers to the Chinese tea usually served together with the soup, as it washes down the oily feeling from this rich soup.

I have tried many ready packs of Bak Kut Teh, but none could satisfy the taste buds of the picky husband.

Until we came to this pack!
