Baking again? Yeah! Baked Peanut cookies with Misha's help .. Muahaha. Well .. she did most of the job actually whereas I fried the groundnuts and blended it :) Anyway, it was a good combination - we helped each other.

Let's have a look at the cookies :)

Verdict : Nice :) Much better than the Kuih Bahulu. Next baking - pineapple tarts .. hahahaha

Kuih Bahulu - First Attempt

Since CNY is just around the corner and after seeing many bloggers baking cookies etc etc, sigh .. being a kiasu I also wanted to try even though I have not baked any chinese new year cookies or kuih kuih before.

So to start, I decided to bake Kuih Bahulu .. hahaha .. supposed to be one of the easiest one to do so :) Even though it was first attempt, the kuih do come out nicely but a little bit hard :) Maybe too much flour.

Well since there are extra flours/sugar etc etc, I did make another batch with reduce flour and guess what, it was perfect .. hahaha :) Anyway, let me show you my kuih bahulu :)

Tadaaa ... :)

Next assignment - peanut cookies :)

I did prepare extra things for her :) Two fishballs/small portion of corn/star shaped potatoes/brocolli and of course the popiahs :)

That's her lunch for the day

Kung Woo Bean Curd Shop @ SSP, HK

Kun Woo Bean Curb Shop is one of the pioneer shops at Sham Shui Po area. We "found" this particular shop when hubby went to buy his xbox games nearby.

This particular Kung Wo shop on Pei Ho Street started operated since 1960s. What is so special about this shop, I am sure many of you will ask. Well ... this shop sells bean curd dessert and other bean curd products :)

I love their bean curd dessert (dau fu fa) ever since the first time I tried and I can see many locals love it to :)

And going into the shop is like stepping back in time. The high ceiling, floor tiles, huge fans and cash baskets made of rattan are the same as those used decades ago.

Let's have a look at a few photos taken earlier :)

What we have ordered :-

Misha is all sweating :) No air con .. hahahaha .. anyway, she enjoys the food very much and guess what ... she will go back for more in future :)

So, remember to visit this particular shop if you are around that area ok?
