Love from Fruity Lashes

Two weeks ago, I got a lovely package from Fruity Lashes as I was one of the lucky winners from her holiday giveaway, thank you Fruity! Let's see what I got from her...

Some samples and a Rimmel trio eyeshadow palette.

Yummy snacks which I've inhaled in within seconds :D

A piece of jewelry from Julu Jewelry. I love the packaging a lot!

Inside the box: a pair of pink Flirty Rose Earrings. Aren't they pretty?

I love stud earrings and they're the new addition to my collection now! :)

Also, Fruity Lashes is having another awesome contest and giveaway right now, look at the amazing prizes!

A Piece of Me... in February 2011

A game hosted by Shirley of *We Love Toothfairy*

This month....

I like: CNY and red packets (ang pao)! And of course having tons of food as an excuse to indulge a little on CNY, but I always feel guilty later, oh well..

I don't like: spending too little time with my whole family and friends, the holiday is too short!

I want you to know: Happy CNY! I know it's a bit late but better be late than never :) Hope everyone's having a great time!

I've planned: a short vacation trip with my cousin! Hope everything will go smoothly.

I want to say to someone special: I need more time with you~

Here's the CNY reunion dinner that I have with my family on CNY's eve. I instantly gained weight right after the dinner! :( I'm still trying to lose it now... Anyways, here they are!

We were having hot pot!

Some of the ingredients for the hot pot

Fried Prawns

Stir-Fry Scallions

Meat Rolls (Ngo Hiang)

Till next time!

Pineapple Tarts for CNY!

First off, I'm so sorry for being away. It's been pretty busy for the past few weeks and I can't seem to manage my time like I used to. Hopefully things will be less hectic after CNY and I'll be able to do more posts! :)

Chinese New Year is less than a week now (OMG, I still have so much things to do!). Beside red packets (ang pao), things that make me excited for CNY are the pastries/cookies and one of them is pineapple tart. IMHO, the best pineapple tarts that I've ever tried are baked by my mom period. Almost every year I help her, even though the only things I can do are just filling in the pineapple jams and glazing with egg yolks. Of course with no exception, this year my mom baked pineapple tarts for CNY. We didn't bake anything else though since time is running out, so we ordered other pastries instead. Well, here are some pics for the pineapple tarts!

Freshly wrapped with pineapple jams inside

Glazing with egg yolks

All glazed, shiny~

Baked and done!

The pineapple jam filling, yum!

Another batch of pineapple tarts with different shape, which one is better? They taste as good! :)

Till next time!

*Update*: Since some of you asked about the recipe, here's the pineapple tart recipe that I found pretty close to my mom's and it's very detailed with pics. I do have my mom's recipe but I'm too lazy to translate it :p, hope that helps!
