Happy New Year 2022!
We had a simple home cooked dinner at home on New Year Eve. Too eager to start dinner that I forgot to snapshot the dishes I cooked. Nothing special. I cooked bbq pork belly (char siew), stewed chicken feet with dried shiitake mushrooms, blanched 1 green (choy fah) and stir fry beansprout. We will be having the leftover with noodle for lunch later.
New Year Eve Blessings from a friend who came to visit us.
We were blessed with fragrant biscuits or Heong Peah bought from Taiping,
and pandan layer cake from Klang.
Pandan layer cake is one of my favourite cake.
We enjoyed this cake because it is not very sweet, just nice for us.
It says here that the pandan layer cake has to be consumed within 3 days.
We need to finish the pandan layer cake before we can start to taste the fragrant biscuits.
He also bought a few pieces of deep fried taro slices.
This time I remembered to take a snapshot of the sticky, gluey glutinous rice cake sandwiched between thin slice of sweet potato on one side and thin slice of taro on the other side.

Breakfast on the 1st Day of New Year 2022.
Fish Noodle wine extra wine added,
plus some fried stuff,
and 2 bowls of herbal tea.

The following photos were taken a few months ago.
I heard dogs parking and when I looked out I saw these beautiful dogs passing by led by their owners.
This was on another day.
The dogs caught sight of a cat which ran to hide under the truck parked by the roadside.
The dogs were restrained from going after the cat that was hiding under the truck.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
A wise man restrains his anger and overlooks insults.
This is to his credit.

This Pandan cake is gorgeous. It looks so good...how is it different from a regular cake, what is it made from? We do not have such a thing here.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. It has pandan fragrance. It taste more like soft jelly cake than the actual butter or sponge cake.
DeleteOh! I love all the food that you had! Those dogs are lovely. I wonder if they are Huskies. Happy 2022!
ReplyDeleteThank you, PH. I am not sure but they do look like Huskies. Happy New Year to you too.
DeleteHappy New Year, 2022. We went out for dinner - I've finished the blogpost on it but will only be published on Monday, waiting in the queue. LOL!!! Ooooo...beautiful dogs!!! We don't have any - my missus does not want one.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too. I love dogs and I used to have pet dogs. After the last one, hubby doesn't want anymore.

DeleteThat layer cake looks interesting
ReplyDeleteI love the layer cake.
DeleteThe cake looks good.
ReplyDeleteYes, it tastes good too.
DeleteI read that:
ReplyDeleteAccording to CNN Indonesia, this cake originated in Indonesia, dating back to the cake-making techniques of Dutch settlers in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). [3] Dutch and Indo colonial peoples combined cake-making techniques from Europe with locally available ingredients such as pandan leaf as flavoring and coloring agents. This cake is also known as pandan cake in Dutch and is quite popular in the Netherlands due to its historical link to Indonesia.
Greetings from Argentina
Thank you for the interesting facts on the pandan layer cake. I am glad that we can now enjoy the cake here in our land.
DeleteA blessed and beautiful 2022 to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteThe pandan cake reminds me of our doberge cakes with the many layers.
Those look like nice, but very big and strong, dogs.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
DeleteHappy New Year!! I hope you are having a wonderful and blessed New Year! - www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gingi. Happy New Year to you too.
DeleteEl pastel se ve muy rico Te mando un beso y te deseo un feliz año para ti y tu familia.
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP. Happy New Year to you.
DeleteI have seen all pets dogs behave alike seeing a cat, but the street dogs behave differently or show no interest in cats. That's sweet blessings from your friends; yummy cakes. Have a great year ahead!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteI like glutinous rice cake, yum 😁. My grandmother used to make it in the island 😀.
ReplyDeleteHome made ones are even better.
DeleteHappy 2022 to you!
ReplyDeleteLooking at the slanted angle of the dog owner reminds me of my big German shepherd. It is so difficult restraining excitable big dogs.
Happy 2022 to you too. These big dogs are very strong. Imagine handling 2 of them at the same time.
DeleteEspero que pasaras un feliz día. Feliz año 2022.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa. Happy New Year to you too.
