(don't) forget your lunch
If you like me, check out my other blog forgot my head for my other creative, non-food things. Like fashion, because that's kind of what I'm studying at university.
My Mom’s friend recently returned from a visit to Taiwan and brought her some lovely pineapple cake, so she shared it with me. It’s really delicious! And surprisingly I didn’t eat any while I was there last May. Haha, I was much more focused on obtaining mochi and shaved ice I guess!
It’s not really “cake”, more like a buttery cookie-ish pastry filled with tangy sweet pineapple filling. There’s a good article here with a recipe…can’t vouch for the recipe since I haven’t made it but if anyone does let me know how it goes! You can get an approximation of pineapple cake at a larger Asian grocery too (I’ve seen it at Foody Mart and T&T) but its really not as good. I think I might try to look for it at a Chinese bakery or something when the weather gets better. :)
G and I also just subscribed to an organic food box delivery thing…I was really just excited about the purple carrots ^_^ Aren’t they pretty? Lunch today is not so healthy, I know…but I love my popping Cadbury eggs (and I didn’t want to make my pineapple cake soggy with apple slices. Yes, let’s go with that.)
Star shaped onigiri, corn, edamame, hot dog flowers, purple carrots, quail eggs, pineapple cake, sour keys and popping eggs. :)
