再过一天，我们就迎接新的一年了。再接下来，就是要迎接华人的农历新年。好快哦 。。。虽然圣诞节才刚过 ，但是许多商家和购物广场已经开始挂上农历新年的装饰品了。电台也开始播放新年歌曲了。

因为还在假期中，所以就手痒痒来做做过年饼。年头当我在 Jane Chew 的部落格看到这漂亮的花开富贵牛油饼时，我就被它深深的吸引住。我告诉自己我一定要为2014的新年做这个年饼。





这牛油饼里加入了一些玫瑰香精，所以它除了带着浓浓的牛油香味也含有淡淡的玫瑰味道。最重要的是它一放进口里就会融化了！它的颜色不会偏向黄色是因为这食谱并没有用卡斯塔德粉。今天任务算是成功！！Yes！！

最近都没有做些什么特别的料理。虽然十二天的假期已经开始，但是那份想做料理或玩烘焙的心情总是提不起来。这个假期里 。。。除了为屋子来个大扫除，我和老公还为厨房上了新漆。现在厨房里的墙就好像新的一样 。。。又干净又漂亮。

假期过了一大半，今天心想就做一些糕点吧。选了最简单的食谱 。。。做了这个香兰小椰球。一粒粒的 Ondeh-Ondeh 带着香兰叶的香味，里面包着香甜的椰糖 。。。把它和咖啡一起配搭是最好不过了！

圣诞节是个很温馨的日子 。。。光是听到圣诞歌曲，心情就会特别的开心。当然，最开心的事当然就是收到圣诞礼物。除了收到圣诞礼物，我还收到了几份手信礼物。心里特别的开心，感激和感恩。

感谢老板送的圣诞礼物 。。。一条漂亮的手链


这是朋友和她的女儿一起亲手做的肥皂。Thanks Kathy！


朋友从台湾和澳门带回来的手信。Thanks Cheryl！


学生从黄金海岸，澳大利亚带回来的小礼物。Thanks Sze Wei！

因为缘分，我和她从原本的“老师”和学生关系到现在的朋友关系。虽然我并不是真正的“老师”，但是她都会像尊敬老师般一样的尊敬我。虽然我比她大八年，但是我们还是会有话题聊。虽然我俩真正认识彼此只有短短的半年 。。。但是很高兴的有你这样的学生，这样的朋友。

Sze Yin, thanks for having me in your thoughts 。。。谢谢你从澳门为我带回来的这份小礼物。在这，也祝你在新的事业里一切顺利，开工大吉！

近来的天气都是阴天，雨天，冷天。这样的天气最好是来碗热腾腾的汤又或者是一碗热糖水。热汤时常都会出现在我家，但是糖水就是偶尔才会煲。今天就来煲一锅腐竹玉米白果糖水当下午茶好了！

食谱取自Joceline的家，我把冰糖改换去用石峰糖。一碗香甜又滋润糖水 。。。我好喜欢！！

Right after the dinner, we proceed to the nearby dessert house Mango Tango. Mango Tango is one of the famous dessert house in Bangkok. Their outlet normally is very crowded and sometimes, you even have to queue up long just to wait to be seated.

This dessert house definitely a heavens for mango lovers such as me!! They have mango dessert in variety version such as ice-cream, pudding, etc. Both of us get really excited and therefore .... here we go ... ordered not only one dessert for sharing but total 3 dessert for trying!!


Signature Dessert in the House: Mango Tango. A combination of Mango Ice-cream + Mango Pudding + Fresh Mango Fruit.


Mango Aloha: Diced Mango in Milk Sago topped up with Mango Sauce


Mango Lassi


Satisfying meal for the night. We leave Siam Square with a full stomach .... next move to Siam Paragon & Big C for some shopping again!!

Initial plan on day 2 after Chaktuchak market was to Yaowarat and Asiatique. But both of us were really tired and we decided just to take a rest at hotel and change our plan to Siam area for dinner. At Siam area, the best dining place that I can think of will definitely not other than Som Tam Nua!!!

Miss their food and hence decided to bring buddy to give it a try. Just in a year time, the restaurant has expanded!! It has occupied another lot next to it and now, the restaurant looks much spacious!


Thai Papaya Mix Salad


Hot & Spicy Crispy Fish


Grilled Pork Neck


The foods never failed us. Delicious and satisfying dinner for both of us. Yummy yum yum ~

2nd day started with a train ride to the most famous weekend market in Bangkok - Chatuchak. Thank god that the weather on that day is just perfect ..... no rains and not too hot as well. This market is indeed big .... very big. We didn't managed to visit every single section of this market but nevertheless, we managed to shop a lot and get a real good bargain from this market!! Happy ~

Nice & Refreshing Coconut Ice-cream


Can't resist of this Roasted Pork so ended up buying THB 100 of it for trying


Dine in at One of the Restaurant at Chatuchak .... lunch meal treated by Buddy!

Next stop right after Meklong Railway Market is the Amphawa Floating Market. This market is only available during the weekend. I prefer this floating market than the one that I have visited earlier as this market has much more things to see and try out.

Lots of souvenirs and food items sell at the market .....




Decided to have our dinner here ....


Grilled Scallop


Noodles with Shrimps


Pork Satay


We have an enjoyable time exploring the market. Before we left the market, we have a boat ride to see the fire flies around.
