Hello Lily
ReplyDeleteI discovered your site some weeks ago and have been following keenly ever since. All your recipes are yummy and they remind me of those that was cooked by my dear mum.
Also, I want to share with you that a daily intake of cinnamon powder helps to reduce the blood sugar levels and cholesterol too. Hope that's useful.
Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you for being there for all of us, especially for people like me who's still learning to cook everyday. I shall also be trying your pineapple tarts soon for CNY.
Hi Lily, thanks for sharing, you're so adventurous on food !! Do you wash away all the white powder on your dried persimmons ? I did but months ago, I saw a Taiwan Chef said that that was the best part of the dried persimmons. From that day onwards I will not wash them away. Those are good fungus and that fungus cost dried persimmons so expensive !! Happy Winter Solstice ! That fall on 22nd Dec almost every year !!
