At least, during my younger days, these kind of cakes are very popular... I always bug my mom to buy me at least one when we walk past the confectionary at Queenstown.  Love the colors.... it is butter cream....now most of the cakes are made with fresh cream, more expensive and tastier, these butter cakes hv to make way. I got very excited when i spotted them last week at Bedok. Got to get them.... =) Labels: cakes, Memories, retro cake A gathering at CorisSunday, December 02, 2007We had this gathering planned for a while.

"aunty, 3 pea-nut and 3 co-co-nut" that will spend us $2. livingstone likes the coconut, which i dun. heh heh... but he agrees with me that this tutu kwei is really soft and yummy.....   I rediscover my fav tutu kwei at Shi-Fu, Compassvale Bow's Coffeeshop, next to Shop and Save. (Note: this is not an advert) Labels: appreciative, discovery, Family, Food, Memories |
