The Making of 'Crispy ♥ Letters'

嘿哟！大家好， 我又在回到这儿来了！
Hey yo!  Hello everybody, I'm back here again!

Hopefully there's no misused of Chinese characters in my greetings, fyi I sucks at my Mandarin and I know that's really a disgrace to my race when I can cope better with English & Bahasa Melayu but not my own mother tongue.  :P  Should really brush up my primary level Mandarin, but how???  Forget it but thank God I still can speak quite fluent or else worse.

Now back to the main point I'm about to share with you guys!  It's gonna be about the traditional Chinese dainty must have biscuits during the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration which is mostly known as 'Kueh Kapek' in Hokkien/'Kuih Kapit'(since it sounded like a fusion of Mandarin & BM, I guess this is how the Baba & Nyonya called it, different spelling but almost the same pronunciation) or also known as Crispy Love Letters (nice name right?!).   This crispy biscuits usually have rough surface as its emblazoned with auspicious words which made every single piece of it to look so delicate.  Things that look and taste good are surely not easy to be prepared as you munch, the process of making this particular biscuits is very laborious and could only be completed in several hours (approximately 4-6 hours depending on the number of helping hands).  No matter what it is this traditional biscuits are definitely still in high demand during this festive season since CNY would not be complete without these essential servings for the family members as well as visitors.  No wonder this biscuits never fail to make its appearance in my house every year when CNY is around the corner.

So now let me show you how the "Kuih Kapek" was prepared:
