Fried Bud Mushroom - 炸芽菇

Everyone sure knows Fried Bud Mushroom right? It is crispy, and delicious, just like another type of potato chips.

Pineapple Tart - 黄梨塔

Pineapple tarts are small, bite-size pastries filled with or topped with pineapple jam, popular in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

The pastry consists of a large proportion of butter and egg yolk, besides using corn starch, giving it a rich, buttery, tender and melt-in-the-mouth texture. The pineapple jam is usually made by slowly reducing and caramelizing grated fresh pineapple that has been mixed with sugar and spices - usually cinnamon, star anise and cloves.

Typical shapes include a flat, open tart topped with pineapple jam under a lattice of pastry, rolls filled with jam that are open at the ends and jam-filled spheres.

Considered a "festive cookie", pineapple tarts are usually consumed during the Chinese New Year period. However, they are sold all year round by commercial bakeries and by souvenir stores serving tourists.

Almont Cookies (Sugee) - 杏仁餅

I noticed something strange. As you may already know, sugee (also known as soogee, suji or sugi) is basically semolina.
