shyc Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 But isn't most of these cookies already selling above $8 for years. There are so many these days, all year round, hardly anyone who visit want to eat them. In fact my family had cut down on buying for the past few years. Some relatives whom we had to do yearly exchange already request to either stop or cut down too as they face the same problem; no one eating and it goes to waste. Sorry deviated from topic but just saying... The standard fares, love letters, peanut cookies, pineapple tarts, kuih bangkit, etc All store bought. I used to bake using shredded coconut, found the recipe in a cook book Long time ago. And my colleague tried dried shrimps cookies from the same book which she said stink her whole house during baking. Good old days, these days just cannot be bothered to bake.

I don't want people to come over! But my Mama has been pestering me to let my auntie visit, so bo bian. "Open House" during one of the CNY days to let them come. I still got buy some bak-kwa. Hmmm, i think I ONLY bought bak-kwa. xD Will have to serve that. Oh, and sugee cookies. I love these already, so it's not bought specially for CNY. Sometimes will snack on them also. Drinks: Not buying any tetra-packs. Will buy 1.5L / 2L bottles and use cups to serve. If not, I always have my CEO coffee or RuChun tea that my SO makes everyday. Hope my lack of CNY goodies will deter all my relatives from visiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyc Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Oh.. your relatives still make visits? Tot these days most people go Travelling. Long ago we all go Ah Gong's house. All will be there whole day. Eat 3 meals, play cards, watch tv, laugh, chat etc. After Ah Gong's gone, all move to Tua Gu house, slowly slowly one by one all disappeared. So dun worry, one day your turn will come too. wow.. you atas serve Bak-Kwa. Getting more and more expensive leh. For the past years we always buy and eat ourselves, never take out and serve guests.

gabbyisbot Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 My family usually do homemade goodies like Kuih Loyang (蜂窝酥 ), Kuih Mor (soft short bread rolled in icing sugar), kuih sapit and also order some layered cakes (kek lapis). And not to forget prawn crackers served with "acar" enthuboy_93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube3 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Idea: Boycott CNY and the need to waste money and add to the fake appearances and shallow personalities! No CNY goodies at all...maybe just a nice family dinner outside, and the rest of the holiday purely for one's own relaxation and enjoyment.

bluerunner Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Today I pass by Chevron B1 where there are some small stalls selling CNY cookie. Omg! One small can of any cookie, >$20! I dun remember paying that much last year. This year, chopped and confirmed not buying. Not even for home nor office. Way too expensive.

My family not rich one, don't go travelling during CNY. xD Same la. But since I still have a few Grand-aunts, we still visit them. Then after that we go to my Ah ma's house for the night. Makan dinner, play cards, Blackjack, watch tv, getting asked about why still not married, etc etc. xD I bought the bakkwa mainly to eat myself one, since I eat/buy bakkwa even when it's not CNY. So, just for show only, put outside for my aunties to munch abit if they come lor. It's not like I bought any other goodies ma. Plus, they also got serve us when we go visit them. So, 礼尚往来 lor.

That's why i only stick to things that I would buy/eat EVEN if it's not CNY. But the spicy Prawn Rolls are so hard to find when it's not CNY period.

CNY come then pop it in the oven before eating. I pre-bought mine at AMK Hub. The lady was saying this is pre-CNY price, after Feb will increase price liao. Pre-order can come pick up anytime after that. So I bought 5kg for me and family. It was around 45+. The increased price is about $50+. Not that much increase, actually. :/ But at least I earned some extra LinkPoints. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"older" , I can forgo prawn roll, pork floss roll or whatever bak kwa but I looked at my parents, they somehow still enjoy eating durian or pinepart tarts, I m not sure why?????????? I don't hate all these local goodies, but somehow not eating is not a loss when I was younger , I will cry if someone ate my share or didn't ask me to go for durian hunt or food hunt Yes, I don't take tidbits like chips/crackers (hardly . rarely, once a blue moon maybe?) but I felt female colleagues and some men they will want to have tidbits during the planning table - not sure why?

kimlo777 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I am old man so very traditional. For kuih kuih I always have stock of kuih tart, kuih belanda, kuih bangket, kuih ma'mor, kok chai and hei bee hiam in pohpiah skin deep-fried. I also serve guests deep-fried kuih bakul sandwiched between yam slices and steamed kuih bakul covered in dessicated coconut with a sprinkling of salt. Then there is always Lim Chee Guan bakwa, ground nuts and sweetmeats like sugar-coated melon strips, sugar-coated lotus seeds, walnut in molass etc Quote Suck my tits and I'll lick your balls. Lick my arse and I'll suck your cock. All in sex is fair. The only bad thing about sex is that it doesn't last long enough.
