Radish Cake / Daikon Cake / Loh Pak Koh

According to my ex-lady boss, the best time to buy Daikon is between November till January / February. According to her, this is the time of the year when Daikon will be super sweet and juicy. I guess this explains why Chinese normally make Daikon Cake / Radish Cake / Loh Pak Koh around January and February because that's when Chinese New Year falls on.

Anyway, I got myself some Daikon last week and I decided to make some because I remembered my husband enjoyed having it few years ago. It is super easy and I hope you will like it.

Pineapple Tart (closed version)

One of my favourite Chinese New Year pastry is Pineapple Tart. One thing about buying pineapple tart outside is that, the pineapple tart normally too sweet for me. So with some research , this is what I made. I hope you will like it. Since I don't have the pastry mould, I made a closed version of the pineapple tart.

Pineapple Jam

Something to spice things up. Instead of the ordinary strawberry or grape jam, Let's try out this easy recipe of pineapple jam :)

Imitation Shark Fin Crabmeat Soup

One thing that I really enjoy about Chinese Wedding is that they always serve Shark fin Soup. Shark fin is so expensive and there is no way I can afford that. On top of that, I don't think that Shark fin has any taste. So to me it's more of the texture of the soup. I recently bought a pack of imitation shark fin from an Asian grocery store. So, I made myself a nice pot of shark fin soup to satisfy my craving. I hope you enjoy it too.

Imitation Shark Fin Omelette (Foo Yong Tan)

I remembered when I was a little girl and every time when my family took me out for dinner in one of those chinese restaurants in Penang (chu cha), one of the dish that we will order would be shark fin with crab meat omelette (foo yong tan). I always love this dish but as I grew older, I'm unable to find this dish anymore. Foo Yong Tan is different now.

Since I was in asian market few days ago, I got myself a pack of imitation shark fin to make this dish and reminiscing the old good times I had with my family. It is simple and I hope you will enjoy it.
