Goodies from the garden
What do cheese cookies have to do with Chinese New Year, asked a colleague. Well, I don't know. What I know is that these nibbles by Pine Garden's Cake are scrumptious. Bite into one and it becomes soft crumbs and cheesy specks. For a more traditional festive treat, try the shop's cranberry kueh lapis (Photo 4), which is neither too sweet nor too greasy. As fruity kueh lapis go, firm and tart cranberries are a better fit for the rich cake than squishy, sweet prunes. The ruby-red bits look more festive too.
