Easy Orange Butter Cake 简单香橙奶油蛋糕
I have a church friend who has been asking me to bake Orange Butter Cake for the longest time. Sadly, I have yet to send her one. This is because I usually make butter cakes and not orange butter cake for my family. My family adores butter cake (recipe here). Why want to add to the work by adding orange? You will add on extra work of zesting and juicing an orange. However, there is definitely a difference. An Orange Butter Cake exudes a citrussy smell that lures you from afar. If you are an orange lover, you will definitely like this Orange Butter Cake. Paired with good butter, this cake smells and tastes heavenly. Perfect for those who like a touch of citrus and a subtle hint of tang to cut off the richness in a butter cake.

Easy Recipe - Minced Meat Tofu 肉酱豆腐
Hi, again!
Today I will be introducing a Chinese Style Minced Meat Tofu. There are many variations to Minced Meat Tofu, some like to fry the tofu, some like to cut the tofu into small pieces and some like to use sliced Japanese tofu. In line with my easy recipe theme, I am using steamed whole tofu. No cutting, no frying. It is also my personal preference as I like soft tofu.

Kuih Kaswi Pandan/ Kuih Kosui Pandan 香兰卡穗糕
I made this Kuih Kaswi Pandan talam style (in a tray) and then cut it into individual pieces. This is how it is supposed to be; cut and rolled in fresh shredded coconut. Some does it in mini cups that makes it similar to Kuih Lompang. Similar but not the same. The main difference besides its appearance is the flour used. Kuih Kaswi uses wheat flour whereas Kuih Lompang does not. Taste wise, there is not much of a difference. If you are curious about Kuih Lompang, I blogged about it here a couple of years ago.
Kuih Kaswi Pandan is a traditional Malaysian/Indonesian delicacy. Like most of our local desserts, it uses plenty of coconut and pandan leaves (screwpine leaves). There is another variation that uses gula melaka (palm sugar) that is equally as good. Kuih Kaswi Pandan has a dense and bouncy texture . It is sweet with a hint of saltiness from the salted shredded coconut. It is also spelled Kuih Kosui.

Salted Egg Yolk Cornflakes 咸蛋黄炒玉米片
It is Chinese New Year's eve already!!
I have to apologize for not updating more often. Pre Chinese New Year is always the busiest month. Today I finally get to literally breath. I told myself I have to update this lovely blog. I know it is almost Chinese New Year. Therefore, I am issuing an easy yet popular recipe.
Salted Egg Yolk Cornflakes has been the current Chinese New Year snack for several years now. Then again, anything salted egg yolk has been a popular option. I personally find this Salted Egg Yolk Cornflakes a little rich, but that does not stop my little bosses from devouring it like no tomorrow.
Cooking this is pretty simple and you just need a few ready ingredients. Do pay attention not to put your fire too high as the egg yolks burn easily.
