Every time mommy starts roasting these nuts..
The whole house oozes an irresistible and slightly burnt nutty smell that no one can resist.
So currently,
The kitchen cupboard is filled with these..
Though they are a healthier alternative to the calories bursting pineapple tarts, egg rolls and bak kwa..
They are a big culprit of constipation which all the guys in my family never seem to suffer from it =x

Few days back,
Besides being occupied with exams and assignments..
I was helping mommy to make these little "peanut puffs" known as kok zhai..
There is no fixed recipe for it..
Everything was purely based on mommy's memory..
Daddy and the brothers kept coming into the kitchen.
So that sounded helpful right..?
Sounds nice?
Well the youngest one helped a little..
Then he said he was busy and off he disappeared to play his PC game -.-
The rest of them asked the same question over and over again.
"Are they cool now? Can we eat now?"
When that was not feasible
They came up with more "innovations" to hang out in the kitchen.
"Maybe we can try adding a little salt to the pastry?"
"How about adding honey to the peanut filling?"
Mommy: ........
