*!~ ESSENTIAL YEARLY MOM'S HOMEMADE SIGNATURE CNY COOKIES FOR ME & FAMILY~!*

Mom's Homemade Signature Cookies Done perfectly ~!
'Dong dong dong qiang ...Dong dong dong qiang ... Xin Nian Lai Loh '... The first day of Rooster Year fall on 28/1/2017, the next coming Saturday in this year which mean it still left about 2 weeks time of its arrival. However, I believe that everyone has been starting busy shopping for Chinese New Year (CNY) items one month ago as I has been listening CNY songs being played around and seeing a lot of promotion items, decoration since the beginning of this month . LOL...

In the brand new year ahead, to me and my family, HEALTH always is our ultimate wealth in life instead of hoping to earn much money and looking for luxury lifestyle in return of ruin our health. With good health, we can turn any impossible into possible ... this is my philosophy of life !! Lol... Ok, back to my CNY cookies story, my mom always put our family health on top of priority in her list therefore she will bake her favourite CNY biscuit/snack instead of buy it from outside. 

While she is baking her CNY cookies, she will take the chance to 'brain wash' me as well by saying ''Outside cookies on sale had been over priced, not so tasty and the quality of ingredients cannot be guaranteed as well, home made always is the best, nothing can beat it''. Mom used to bake variety of CNY cookies before, but as she is ageing as time goes by, nowadays she only bake the 2 most  delicious CNY cookies for us. 

ALMOND COOKIES
The ingredients of baking almond cookies is so simple of which consist of flour, almond powder, sugar, corn oil, salt, crushed almond nuts. Mixed all the ingredient together then make out the shape of the cookies that you like with mold. Then bake it in the oven. That's all !! Lol~

At the side of folklore, it's saying that taking almond during CNY will bring you happiness throughout the whole year. Whether this is true or not, for sure is that I love almond very much !!

Mom put in a lot of crushed almond nuts... as we enjoy biting the nuts





PINEAPPLE COOKIES 
Here another signature cookies from my mom. The procedures of pineapple cookies is much more complicated as we need to make out the pastry separately before which is used to wrap the pineapple paste inside. 

The ingredient needed for the pastry consist of butter, flour, icing sugar powder, custard powder, salt, egg yolks where for the paste, we use the local pineapple paste of which taste less sweet.

To me, the most troublesome part is wrapping the pineapple inside the pastry. I need to be gentle to the pastry as it was soft and easily broken into parts which my mom always said I did it unsuccessfully. At last she really cannot stand my unskillful way and 'kick me out' from her bakery section and asked me to sit by her side 'diam diam' to wait for her instructions given. Lol ~
For Pineapple cookies, folklore also saying that Pineapple is being pronounced as 'Ong lai' in Hokkien which indicate prosperity & good fortune and the person whom taking it during CNY will get good fortune and prosperity year ahead. So hopefully that this year these 'Ong Lai Pia' (Pineapple Cookies) can really bring us good fortune and prosperity ya.... Lol.....





 There has a lot of others CNY cookies like 'kuih ka pat',' egg roll', peanut cookies and so on.... Really a non stop eating festival to me.... I am sure that I cannot resist good foods, snack in this festival, although I will definitely gain few kgs on weight so let's only talk about the slim down matter after the CNY is over ya.

Currently,  I so look forward to enjoy precious CNY moment with my family, relatives & friends around with tasty foods, laughter and so on in very soon... and also beautiful photos taking sections as well ...

Oh ya, allow me to take the chance here to wish everyone has a prosperity year of Rooster with good health & plenty of cash in you pocket  & bank account ya !!!  Happy Rooster Year & GONG XI FAT CAI !!! 

 See you all next ~! GOOD LUCK~!
Love,
Wendy

BE GOOD ~~

I do have a habit is that after I had contributed the best of my effort into my work regardless it came into good or bad result in the end, I will take myself or with my brother/friends to spend some nice time and good foods as a encouragement or appreciation to myself to work better and better , harder and harder in future.  Some thought I got good life than theirs as I had been sharing quite lot of good foods and some leisure moment on some social medias. I always replied them said 'I did have my bad/down time just like you, just the case that you didn't know that I had passed through it all in the past (with smile)' And, the most important is keep on your life track without being influenced by others easily and knowing to appreciate, being thankful/grateful of others contribution as well as our own efforts . I found this way be able to let me live more happier, motivated than previous.  I always believe, all good things started from own, it's same goes t
