TO ORDER: Chinese New Year- Coming to You From NYC This Year!



After a successful two years in London, this Chinese New Year my little bakery comes to you from New York City and I am once more taking orders from any homesick individual with a CNY cookie craving anywhere in the world! :)

As it's only 5 days away (cutting it a little close I know!), please get your orders in ASAP. Every part of every single cookie is painstakingly handmade on request, so please allow at least 3 days notice.

Some nitty-gritty: for New Yorkers, cash upon receipt is the easiest method of payment and delivery/collection can be arranged anywhere within the MTA subway system. For everyone else, shipping is possible and bank transfers/alternative payment methods e.g. via Paypal can be arranged- please drop me a line at bakecookeat@gmail.com for details.

All cookies come in clear plastic deli-style tubs, either small or large depending on the type of cookie. Unfortunately I cannot find those pretty red jars we get in Malaysia anywhere in New York despite hunting high and low, so for now these will have to do (it's the contents that matter anyway).

Happy eating this year of the Tiger oops, DRAGON of course, and Gong Hei Fatt Choy! :)

Kuih Nastar (Rolled Pineapple Jam Tarts)- $18 per tub of 25 pcs
Homemade jam slow-cooked from fresh whole pineapples and aromatic spices, encased
in a
hand-shaped all butter crumbly pastry

Fah Sang Peng (Peanut Cookies)- $18 per tub of 30 pcs
Extremely addictive, be warned! Fragrant, crumbly and deliciously nutty, made the
proper way
with ground whole peanuts (none of this peanut butter business)

Kuih Bangkit (Tapioca Coconut Cookies)- $18 per tub of 40 pcs
Handmade traditionally shaped little cookies with a crisp bite and powdery melt-in-the-mouth texture. Aromatic and tasty with the definitive flavours of tapioca, pandan and coconut.

Open-Faced Pineapple Jam Tarts- $25 per tub of 36 pcs
Made with the same blobs of scrumptious homemade jam as the Kuih Nastar,
only sunny side up with a
patterned pastry base

Almond London - $25 per tub of 34 pcs
One for the chocoholics- a whole roasted almond encased in a butter cookie, topped
with melted dark chocolate and chopped nuts


Crispy Beehive Cookies (Kuih Ros/ Kuih Loyang)- $12 per tub of 15 pcs
Large and pretty honeycomb/rosette shaped crunchies, deep-fried until satisfyingly crisp
from a batter of
coconut milk and rice flour. Fragrant, lightly sweet, very addictive.

Buttery Coconut Cornflake Crunchies- $12 per tub of 25 pcs
A version of the family favourite Mum taught me growing up! :) A crunchy and
fragrant blend of dessicated coconut and crushed cornflakes
with the added bite of sweet raisins

Mini Honey Cornflake Cups- $12 per tub of 30 pcs
Delectable little bitesize bundles of cornflakes coated in a buttery honey caramel, then baked
until crunchy. Exceedingly moreish- expect to eat a whole box in one sitting.

Bakkwa/Rougan (Chinese Dried Pork Jerky)- sold by weight, $39/lb
Free of the colouring and preservatives usually present in mass-produced versions,
this delicious
favourite of Malaysians (a
lso known in Cantonese as "yoke gon" or
"long yoke")
is home-marinated and grilled until the perfect
sticky-
sweet-salty
flavour and texture is achieved. A Chinese New Year staple!
