Hello friends! Here's wishing my dearest Chinese friends, bloggers and readers A Prosperous Chinese New Year....Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! I have something special for you on this auspicious day! Allow me to introduce a good friend of mine, whom I've never met before in real but had just known through Bloggywood. She was one of my Giveaway winners last year, and our friendship blossomed ever since I contacted her. Her blog is one super cool cyberhome which never ceased to amaze me and her readers. A creative cook and baker, her presentations and food art are simply mind blowing! Her desserts can make anyone go weak knees. She is my Queen of Desserts , Ms Amelia from Johor, a southern state of Malaysia. When I text Amelia to invite her for a guest post in my blog, she didn't hesitate but gave me a yes rightaway. Despite her busy schedule preparing for the festival, I trusted she will put every effort to make my Guest Post @ Love2cook Malaysia event a grand opening! This ...

I suddenly felt like munching my most favourite biscuit...Sugee Cookies! Not wasting any time, I headed to the kitchen and started preparing. This time, I added some powdered almond into the mixture.

Hello friends, how U all been??? We are doing very good here but started to get bored since my Hubby left for Cape Town last night. We had a real blast this month, super fun!!! Hehe... Making murukku, a popular and a must-have snack during Diwali has become pretty easy with ready made flours. You may find several brand in stores, but I used Baba's Murukku Flour Mix. I was actually influenced by my Mum. She's been using Baba's all these while, thus I followed suit. Though its a packed flour, I'd still need to prepare additional spices to mix with the flour. The recipe at reverse side of their pack does not include those spices. It would taste very plain without them. So, let's have a look at this easy-to-do murukku recipe. Anyone can make this and don't forget the murukku mould! Baba's Murukku Flour Mix is made of rice, black gram, gram dhal and salt. MURUKKU by love2cook 1 pack (500gm) Baba's Murukku flour 3 tbsp margerine/ ghee 1 tsp omum s...

This recipe is sure a keeper for me and I know I'll be making them quite often for my Hubby from now. The biscuit melts in your mouth, simply good! Here some for you...
