The Queen of Kitchen Disasters

As much as I love to cook and bake, I'm lazy and I'm horrid at following recipes. Together with my natural capability of clumsiness and inability of handling anything sharp, it's the perfect recipe for ... disasters.

What on earth ...!!!

Are you wondering what this is? Are you taking a double look and thinking to yourself, "does this look like a P*****?"

Then are you wondering, "Are you sick in the head, you pervert!"

Well, first question, Bingo, you got it correct. Wait, don't cover your eyes or rinse it with bleach yet!

Traditionally, when we make kok zai (mini puffs with peanut, sugar, sesame seeds and some stinky bug smell-alike leaves), we make some that looks like the male reproductive organ. This will be given to married couples, to symbolise the "gift" of a baby boy. They call it in cantonese a nicer name "Chee Gu Ting" which is actually the name of a plant's bulb.

Anyway, we also make some "treasure boxes" and the normal puffs. So, remember, you don't have to rinse your eyes with bleach!

Sorry, I went there too late to get the "secret" recipe of the peanut sugar filling!
