蜜汁猪肉干 Bak Kwa (Asian Pork Jerky)

明天就是Sonia举办网上互动的最後一天，如果妳像我那样还有食谱要上的话，要尽快上哦！记得去年要学做这肉干时，曾上网找了三个食谱，但在行动前的一天突然杀出个"程咬金", Sonia上了她版本的肉干食谱，当时想也不想便扑锤用了她家的食谱。

I’m going to meet up with my girlfriend today and since I had once promised to make her some Bak Kwa(Asian Pork Jerky), so yesterday, I went to bake 2 rounds, some were to give away whereas some were to leave for us to eat.

这<蜜汁猪肉干>在我家很受欢迎，去年女儿还小，不会欣赏，所以哥哥可以多吃几片。来到今年，他们都抢著吃下一片。谢谢Sonia的分享！

I want to thank Sonia again for sharing this great recipe with us because this is super popular in my family! Last year, my daughter was too young to appreciate what the good stuff is but this year, they fought for every single piece that I had given them!

因为要送些给朋友，所以昨天一次过做了两趟。孩子乘我去冲凉时把我乘下的肉干全都吃完了。望著那空空的盒子，我在算他们到底吃了多少片，答案是最少十片！幸亏我先把朋友的那份分开放在袋里，不然的话，我今天去约会她时会两手空空。可怜的老公一片都没吃到！

When I went for a shower, my children grabbed the container which stored the bak kwa & finished what were left there.  Luckily I had packed some away in a separate bag or else, I won’t have anything to give to my girlfriend.  They must have at least 10 pieces yesterday, leaving nothing for my hubby! Poor hubby came home & asked where was his share, hmm, may be next time!

I’m submitting this to the Chinese New Year Delights 2013, hosted by Sonia@NasiLemak Lover.

小插曲:朋友的女儿生病，所以取消了约会。那盒肉干最後给了我的家婆和老爷吃。女儿叫她的爷爷和嬷嬷不要把肉干吃完，留些给daddy喔！

The lunch appointment was cancelled today because my girlfriend's daughter is sick. So the box of the Pork Jerky has finally given to my parents-in-law. My cheeky daughter asked her grandparents not to finish all the pork jerky because she wants to leave some for her daddy woh!

到达马来西亚的第二天就约了一大班老友出来见面。一行二十几个人，想找个安静的地方让我们嘻哈一翻并不容易。多得女友,S找了她时常关顾的一间咖啡厅让我们落脚。S是个对咖啡很讲究的人，她很喜欢Espresso Lab的咖啡，William也很喜欢。别看这店设计简单，如果我没搞错的话，它最主要的目的是开班教学怎样冲咖啡并兼职卖咖啡。因为S和老板很要好，老板允许我们自带蛋糕去吃。

I had a gathering with some of my old friends in KL, the 2nd day after arriving Malaysia.  There were more than 20 of us and my girlfriend, S suggested to meet up at her regular visit cafe at the Espresso Lab@Publika.  If I'm not wrong, Espresso Lab does coffee-making courses besides just selling coffee. Heard that the coffee there is good!

Some friends left earlier & didn't manage to take the group photo with us

和S夹份买的蛋糕。S说她最好吃LDG(Les Deux Garcons)的法式蛋糕。我尝了，真的不错而且卖像很美，很特别。

S and I shared to buy some cakes to bring over to the gathering.  She said that she likes the cakes from LDG(Les Deux Garcons) very much so we got 6 pieces there.

两年前错过了Hummble Beginnings的千层蛋糕，当时Humble Beginnings只做定购生意。这次回去竟让我发现他们开了一间店在Bangsar，而且离开LDG只有几间店而已。我们买了原味的<香草千层蛋糕>，好好吃。下次我想试咖啡口味的。

2 years ago, I missed out the mille crepe from the Humble Beginnings. At that time, they only accepted phone ordering but now, they have opened a shop at Jalan Telawi, Bangsar & it is just few shops away from LDG. We bought the classic flavour, ie the <Vanilla Mille Crepe>. Love it. The crepe was soft.
