This is my first post of the year 2017 and I'm sharing my latest experiment on Homemade Bak Kwa. I first shared my Homemade Cognac Bak Kwa in this blog 3 years ago and it has been very well received by many readers.

2017年的第一个帖子，与大家分享最近实验的猪肉干食谱。食谱改之三年前在部落格分享的‘自制白兰地猪肉干’。这食谱非常受欢迎，好多读者试过都赞不绝口！

Bak Kwa Cookies 肉干曲奇 （中英加图对照食谱）

Today is the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. In two days time, it will mark the seventh day of the first month on the Lunar calendar, traditionally known as 'Renri' (人日)which means the common man's birthday and everyone grows one year older. Coincidentally, 14 February is also the western Valentine's Day. 

I have made some heart-shaped bak kwa (pork jerky) cookies specially for my dear hubby. Bak Kwa is a traditional and popular Chinese New Year snack food in Singapore and Malaysia to welcome the prosperity of the coming year and are often bought as lavish gifts for friends and family. Due to a super busy schedule, I do not have the time to prepare my own Homemade Bak Kwa this year. I have used store-bought ones for this recipe and the savoury cookies turned out to be flavorful and tasty. Do give it a try when you have the time. Here's wishing everyone an advance 'Happy Birthday' and 'Happy Valentine's Day'! 

再过两天就是农历正月初七，是人日也恰巧是西方情人节。我做了些心形肉干曲奇送给老公。这咸味的手做饼干又美味又可口，有空大家也试一试吧！在此先预祝大家人日快乐，情人节快乐！ 

Pineapple Prosperity Bak Kwa 凤梨(旺来)肉干 (中英食谱教程)

Three weeks ago, my good friend Lois whatsapp me and told me that I am on news...what? on news? She asked me to quickly get a copy of WanBao newspaper that Saturday night as Baking Taitai was mentioned about her homemade bak kwa in a Chinese New Year Bak Kwa article. What a pleasant surprise! 

三个星期前的周六晚，好友Lois写短讯给我，告诉我，我上新闻了！叫我赶快去买份晚报看一看。原来‘Baking Taitai' 的自制肉干在一篇农历新年肉干的报道上有被提到，真的是一个意外惊喜！

Homemade Cognac Bak Kwa - Chinese Pork Jerky 自制白兰地猪肉干 (中英食谱教程)

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, (in fact less than a week's time), it is not difficult to decide what to bake on the opening of my new dry kitchen using my new Brandt oven. I have decided to bake the Chinese Pork Jerky known as Bak Kwa or Rou Gan (肉干）which is traditionally eaten during this festival. Bak Kwa is available throughout the year in our local stores like Bee Chun Heng （美真香）and Fragrance (香味). However, nearer to the Chinese New Year, the price per kilogram would rocket up almost double to SIN $50 ~ $60. What an exorbitant price to pay!
