In an earlier post, I mentioned that I got some traditional kuih gunting and kuih kereta from my foster-cousin – Chinese New Year delicacies that my mum used to make together with her mum (my maternal grandma, that is) and her sisters (my aunties).
Then, when I arrived in KL, Mandy gave me one big plastic container of “love letters” – kuih kapek/kapit…or what we call kuih sepit in Sarawak. They were made by her mum and were paper thin and so very crispy and absolutely yummy. Unfortunately, I had finished all of them before I realised that I did not take any photograph of them.
And during the meet-up with my blogger-friend, Annie-Q on the 1st day of Chinese New Year, she gave me these…
They were some cereal cookies with cornflakes and tasted really great. She also gave me some almond biscotti…
…while my nephew (my missus’ brother’s son) bought me some stuff from…
…including these butter biscuits…
…and these all butter crunch ones…
I have not tried all of them yet so far. One thing at a time! LOL!!!
Then, while I was stranded in KL, I received a call from somebody at the POSLAJU office in Sibu and the guy told me that there was something for me via special delivery – biscuits, but I was not at home at the time. I told him that I would collect them once I got back and the office reopened after the long Chinese New Year holidays.
I did that on the 4th day of Chinese New Year and it was actually from ah^kam_koko’. A friend of his was making cookies for sale and he was so kind as to buy from her and get her to send to me – all the way from Bukit Jalil…
…these chocolate chip cookies…
…that seemed to have the taste of Nestum cereal in them.
And my brother-in-law from Bintulu gave us a lot of fresh seafood and this…
Thanks to everybody for your kind thoughts and generous gifts…and to Merryn and Clare and those who took the trouble to send me Chinese New Year greeting cards, and not forgetting those of you who phoned, sent me smses or greeted me on in my blog and on Facebook…and also those who dropped by my place when I managed to get back from KL, thanks a lot to all of you too! With so many wishing me well, I bet it’s gonna be a great Tiger Year…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
