Gals, I have a recipe that make pineapple tarts from canned pineapple. It's much easier. You dun have to stir till ur hand break. See here for the recipe. I have not tried the recipe though. Hope it's not too late if u gals decided to try it out :)

Canned pineapples are an option only if you cannot get pineapples at all. The texture is very different from grated fresh pineapples - not to mention the taste - and there is also more juice which means longer cooking time and a wet jam. If your pineapple is not very ripe, just add more sugar.

I just made some pineapple jam earlier today and will put up a pic soon - I managed to get hold of a very ripe large pineapple so will definitely have some leftover!

steelfish,

hehe no problem :) How's your CNY celebration?

Crab stick for tib-bits ah .. I wonder how it looks like, not the normal crab stick right?

Hi Ling,

CNY celebration OK lo.. but this year my house not crowded as previous years.. all my relatives come to stay at my place.. So this year they changed plan, all celebrate in KK. So can say a bit bored lor..

The crab stick can be either into piece like keropok or u can cut it like onion lor.. then fried it will looks like ginger fine cuts.. ehh.. i dunno how to describe well.. Here pasar malam got sell.. not sure whether Kch got or not..

So the crab stick just like keropok type ah? mmm .. so far I have not seen any in kch, not even during the CNY visiting :P almost every houses with same food :lol:

Ling,

I'm Sarawakian. Normally we celebrate CNY together -- follow grandma.. depends on which uncle's house she wants to go.. so everyone will follow her.. She is our Queen at home.. :lol: Last 3 years we all celebrate in KL but this year Grandma said want celebrate in KK since she was there a few months before CNY. Then my parents bought ticket to KL earlier cos worry last minute price will increase.. Thought they will come again this year.. who knows.. sigh.. no choice lor.. air asia.. cant change lor...

Back to crab stick topic.. the crab stick is roll type.. then we can unroll it and fried.. it will be slices.. some ppl also will fried lotus root which cut into thin slice like 'nga ku' as tid bits..

Ling,

'nga ku' is arrow root.. normally in sarawak especially cantonese will cut into piece like potatos then cook with mix vege or with meat. My grandma used to cook like that ah.. I also get to know can be tid bits when i came here.. haha.. My mum is cantonese that's why i know...but my father's side no one know.. cos they are foochow :lol:

Be careful when you're choosing ar. :) You don't want to end up with a bag full of cheap rotten, tak boleh guna arrowroot! XD
