The Art of Making....



~ KUEH BALU ~
Ah yes....the art of making kueh balu....u know, those yummy chinese new year goodies that we eat on chinese new year...duh! It's been a tradition....passed down from my late grandmother, whom i reckon propably makes the best traditional haka dishes and treats! Yup, now my father, being the youngest son has finally taken over the role and is now the kueh balu king of the YEO family! OK....so maybe not finally....coz he's been doing it for the past god knows how many years already.....more than 10 years that's all i know....dun play play k.....he's sells them too!

Yup, so I've been staying home the past 3 days helping daddy out in the kitchen backing away....it's good fun....despite the fact that the kitchen kinda turned into a suana for that baking period. I can safely say that my kueh balu skills have definitely improved....fine i know i'm bragging away here....but yea, i've nothing much to talk abt that practically what i've been doing over the last few days! So yea....i'm not forcing u to continue on reading......

There's like tins and heaps of containers lying in my living room filled with kueh balu....dunno how many thousands of kueh balu were made man! I reckon the crispy ones that just come out of the oven...all hot and freshly baked are the best! I kinda like them a lil' burnt...coz they get crispy! I'm not sure if one sits infront of the oven for long, and all the heats coming out....as i mentioned the kitchen really felt like a suana....would it have and serve the same purpose a suana serves....like make u sweat and lose ur fats kinda stuff.....well then again....i dun really think that works coz i think i've gobbled down a good 40 or more of those yummy out of the oven kueh balus....u know...like as u help take them out....the aroma enters the nostrils....u hallucinate and hear the kueh balus crying out "eat me, eat me!" and finally the itchy hand reaches out and pops one into the mouth.....it just repeats itself and soon enough...u realise u just eat like a few dozen! CRAP....all my jogging has not served its purpose....



Tins and tins and tins filled with kueh balu.....it's kueh balu heaven man....woohooo! Posted by Hello
