Pineapple tarts

That's what I miss the most now, because it's CHINESE NEW YEAR (CNY) on Saturday, and mom just e-mailed me and told me that she finally got done with her CNY cookie baking. Well, her cookies are very delicious but it's her pineapple tarts that just makes me desperate to go home.

Why?

It's the Lai family pineapple tart recipe. I've tried all sorts and kinds of pineapple tarts but really, I do believe that my family's pineapple tarts are the best. My mom uses that recipe and so does my Aunty Beryl and Aunt Phyllina. Does that give it credit already? Of course I'm bias but like I said, I've tried almost all kinds and I still think (from a as-neutral-as-I-can-be point of view) the flavour and texture of my family's is the best. It's not a secret recipe but I've not learnt the skill because it takes A LONG time to make these delicious tarts. And I mean a looooonnnnngggggg time.

Anyway, there's suppose to be a Singapore-Hong Kong- Taiwan Association CNY celebration party tonight. Great! Except for the fact that so far from talking to people, I think Singapore was the only country asked to bring food. Hmmm... I'm suspecting that HK and Taiwan are doing other stuff like bringing the Kara-ok set or other things. Since (maybe) only Singapore is bringing food (and each person only brings enough to feed 4-5 people) I hope there's going to be enough food. Also, I'm NOT PAYING DUES. I'm already contributing to the potluck so why should I come out even more money to pay dues? Why, are they going to reimburse me?

Gotta call home.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

And I'm so excited that onni is coming down in 12 hours... Yeah!
