Chinese New Year Goodies- Bak Kwa or BBQ Pork Slices, Pineapple Tarts, Kuih Bangkit...which is your favorite?
My favorite(s) happened to be Bak Kwa and Sugee Cookies. When I was back in S'pore, I had my bak kwa fix (sorry *oink oink*, though it's your year, you are too delicious when BBQ-ed and charcoal-ed over the grill that I had to eat you). No "branded" bak kwa (such as Bee Cheng Hiang, and Lim Chee Guan) this year. My mum bought some unknown brand (think it's known, just that I've forgotten the name...uh-oh!) and it was surprisingly quite tasty and of the right texture.
Clockwise from left: Bak Kwa or BBQ pork slices, pineapple tarts(in yet another shape), and melt-in-the-mouth Kuih Bangkit
I almost emptied all! To eat these while watching TV pgms is how you can unknowingly finish all of them!
Kuih lapis (layer cake) is another CNY goodie (cake) that is popular. This is a rich kuih consisting of thin alternating layers made of butter, eggs and sugar, piled on top of each other. Each layer is laid down and baked separately, making the creation of a kueh lapis an extremely laborious and time-consuming process.
A chain of Chinese New Year goodies of sweets, cookies, tarts, cakes, etc. - the list is almost as long as THE CHAIN GANG. Sorry sorry, eastcoastlife, I accidentally published the post in my other not-so-frequented blog. *Kok Kok*, *Kok Kok*, ouch! Please don't scold me (since it's Chinese New Year, ok?).
As I was constantly reminded NOT TO BREAK the chain (or I'll be down with bad luck for the entire year such as getting spanked after the 15th of the Chinese New Year), let me re-post this.
Instructions:

3) Add any blogs that you want to include near the top of the list. (Optional)
4) Include the blog where you first got the list from, on the list in your post.
5) Do not include your own blog link on the list in your post since this isn’t about self-promotion.
6) Make sure that all links are copied intact.

Prefer bbq chicken slices to porky ones cos the former more tender and easier to chew with "ah mah teeth". ;p
ReplyDeletei want some kueh lapis!!! i love separating the layers and eating them one by one, haha! Boh liao right? My mom used to make them, too, but it really is a lot of work, and cholesterol, since only yolks are used!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling already looking at the bak kwa.
ReplyDeleteAre you back in Singapore? If not, where did you get these contraband?
ReplyDeleteYum yum yum yum, what else can I say after looking at all these food pics?? :P
ReplyDeleteOooh, so cool to look at what other people eat for new year's. Are you gonna post Singapore pictures? Hey, my cousin is gonna study abroad there next year.
ReplyDeleteCan't tahan anymore, you're so lucky.
ReplyDeleteGreat eating ya. Happy CNY!
ReplyDeleteOmnivore, long time never eaten the bbq chicken "golden coin" liow...i almost forgotten about it :O I like those too. Tender, can be a loti filler. :D
ReplyDeleteShilpa, you eat the lapis like those nonya "rainbow" layer kueh (gou teng kueh-in hokkien)...LOL! Oh, izit, high cholesterol ? I din know. I actually prefer the "modified" version with prunes in the kueh lapis.
Suanne, I love bak kwa! It can be home-made, wonder if lotsa work to make and if it'll turn out yummy yummy :)
ReplyDeleteHakkahouse, been there and came bac to CA on the eve of CNY. Hahahah....
Took those pix bac in SG.
Lin, are these your favs too?
Wandering Chopsticks, yep, I'm gonna post some S'pore food yummies. Coming up soon. :D Oh, your cousing is goin to Sg for study ? The only major complaint I have of Sg is the hot and humid weather, plus the crowds esp. during the weekends.
ReplyDeleteKoeiru, you're not planning for a short visit ?
ReplyDeleteFleck, more great eating coming soon :)
Tiger, haha, yah, anything that has layers I will separate, even chocolate wafers, haha! Bad habit!
ReplyDeleteWah, I must be damn backdated lah, never heard of kueh lapis with prunes, man, only know the kind in your picture and another type with pandan, one layer green one layer white.. :)
shilpa, wah...sua ku liow you...prunes in kueh lapis is not new...think invaded few years back.
ReplyDeleteHahah...I do have strange eating habits for some food too eg for corn on the cob, i will eat/bite them row by row, lengthwise; also for those biscuit/wafers with wafer wrapped inside a thin layer of biscuit, i will eat the outside first, then attack the inside. muahahahha!
ai? My comment last night didn't appear!
ReplyDeleteWah! Look at those Singapore goodies! You're going to gorge yourself silly huh? I can imagine you sitting in front of your monitor, dipping into the containers and munching away.
