I like ginkgo nuts(pek gueh)! The cheng-tng style \"Chinese dessert\".... yum yum, can have 3 bowls at one go!


Also, hei-bee-Hiam mini rolls, bought whatever brands I could find, already got 14 brands at home :imcool:

And, phang siew too! (bee hives)

I almost finished my tubs of homebaked pineapple balls and almond shells already. Trying so hard not to open my fav Fouram cookies. I also saw DH bought 2 packs of Jin fu yuan bakkwa although he said he is losing weight and will not touch bakkwa this year.

I am trying very hard to control my intake of pineapple tarts.

But my friend just gave me a freshly baked container last night
Staying at home to drink more water...but cannot waste food right ? Esp those goodies made with love.

Thanks for the advice...cannot waste food.
This dear friend told me I have put on weight...but yet presented me with 1/2 fruit cake and 1/2 chocolate cake as well.

My strategy is to live off the snacks for the first 2 days of the new year!


I have a philosophy that I don’t "waste" calories on things that I don’t really like. So I won’t over-indulge on those things at reunion dinner and meals on the first few days that I don’t really enjoy. My f-i-l does most of the cooking and it’s not really to my taste so I just try to take smaller portions and hope no-one notices then I can eat extra "goodies"…I go for the kueh bangkit, almond cookies and my husband’s aunt’s homemade cashew nut cookies. And the pillow type pineapple tarts.

Today I started to seriously binge on almond cookies and pineapple tarts... Finished 2/3 of the box of almond tarts and 1/4 of the pineapple tarts. Sinful treats :evil:
