角仔/kok zai/ peanut puffs!

sunday..
i experimented!


ingredients:
flour, crushed peanuts



peanuts + sugar + oil



STIR!



tada!



flour + water + oil



wet dough



drier?



improvised rolling pin.
gosh. i think i need to buy a proper rolling pin



first two!
a bit too big!
like curry puffs though
lol



cuttin smaller



pretty ya?
say yes :D



frying in progres...



done!
dun look as good as those selling on e shelves
but i made them!
so it's good!



:)



YUM!

this took me e whole morning. nt easy to do. cos e flour cant stick together at e edges to seal it tight enuf so when fryin, e peanuts tt leak out will get burnt. plus, i cant make e pretty patterns at e edges no matter how hard i try. have to ask mummy to help. boo. and if u notice, there's so much OIL involved! in e flour, in e peanuts, when frying. gosh. so NOT healthy! haha. but once a yr ok la. final product nt as gd as those sellin outside, but e whole process is fun fun FUN!! :)

have to thank mummy who helped so much.. in e dough, in e frying. my bro who gt dragged into this by me to help with e dough. and daddy for washing and cleaning up everything. buyin will be so much worth it than e time and money spend in this process but isnt it more meaningful this way?

*hearts* my family!

不藥而癒 - 郭靜



等你等到了冬季 雪飄進了我眼裡
我試圖去尋找愛情 和我們之間的關係

套上了你的毛衣 心更加凍結成冰
如果我先放棄愛情 我的痛會不會變得不藥而癒

看傷心不能痊癒 我始終相信愛你的勇氣
明明說好是兩個人一起去的旅行 怎麼剩下我一個人欣賞孤寂
看傷心慢慢痊癒 我會好好地安慰我自己
寧願相信你 只是突然改變了決定 去了另一個美麗城市
也等著我入

cny goodies

which of the cny goodies do u liked best? bak hwa? pineapple tarts? love letters?

i like kok zai BEST! mini curry puff shaped with peanut inside. yum! yum! jus e other day, my mum spotted e receipe for it in e newspaper! :) looks simple enuf. jus need crushed peanuts. oh man, how am i going to crushed them? put in my mouth, bite them all and den spit out. HAHA. jus kidding. plus flour, sugar, egg and water to make e outer skin. den jus fry it.. mmm.. wonder if i have time to try b4 cny.. if nt, i can always try after i grad. who says cny goodies can only be eaten during cny?

jus worried if i can do e patterns on e outer covering.. mmm.. nt gd in this kind of thing.. esp when i wrap wanton, i cant make those professional-looking kind. i always ended up making triangular wanton.. haha. but still nice to eat lo.. :)

too bad i dun have an oven. if nt can try more interesting stuff. while other girls make pretty cookies and cakes, i experiment with mooncakes and kok zai! -.-"
