the taste of Chinese New Year...

is Kueh Bangkit!!



Cos tat's the only time when they are widely available...

got the recipe from Little Corner of Mine...she's even posted a step by step guide.

brought the cookies to a CNY gathering for international students and received many grateful thanks...
(made my heart sing cos that's main reason why i cook..to replicate the taste of home...)

thanks LCOM for sharing the recipe!!!

The ingredients are pretty simple but just take note to use a good quality coconut cream (Ayam brand is excellent) and cos i didn't have a microwave, i fried the tapioca starch with cut pandan leaves in a non-stick fry pan...how do u tell when it's done?? Hmm...not too sure too...just an approximation...maybe around 10 mins on low-medium heat..

they do take quite some time...the first batch took 3 hours but the second was around 40 minutes..most of the time was spent cutting out the dough.

A bit late but here's wishing everyone a very prosperous Chinese New Year!!! May the year ahead bring many glad tidings!!

Sounds wonderful! I made them before, but Hubs didn't like it. But I should make them again one of these days and maybe my kids will eat them. LOL!

V: yeah, u gotta start them young!! I think kueh bangkit is an acquired taste...my jap friend described them thus: "funny texture...floury floury..."
