 The thought of last year's caramel almond flakes struck me to pursue my intention to bake almond cookies for this Chinese New Year. My first experience of tasting caramel almond flakes happened when my friend, ACMS brought them for me to try. Crunchy, crispy and addictive! I then quickly asked ACMS for the recipe.

 Today, I am going to share something different. A hobby that I never mention on this website. I love paper crafts since I was very young.

 When I googled, I found that Cornish Chicken is in fact a is a breed of chicken originating in the county of Cornwall in England. However, the Chicken Cornish that I am familiar with is referring to Secret Recipe's Chicken Cornish. Now I am a bit suspicious why it is called Chicken Cornish - are the chicken meat in the pastry are made from Cornish. Interesting finding indeed and I am going to verify that when I am back to Malaysia. Having said that, I think it makes more sense to name this pastr… |
