Chinese New Year is one week away and for the past week, I have been busy making all the Chinese New Year cookies, munchies and snacks for the celebration.

Other than that, I have been crazy shopping for new clothes for little G (it’s a tradition that we wear new attire on the first day of Chinese New Year!), plus crazy spring cleaning the entire house.

  3. Hi Bee Yinn, I can’t get cake flour here – can it be substitute with plain flour? Or would that make it less puffy & crispy? Please advise. Thanks.
