Stir-fry eggplant with pork mince ผัดมะเขือม่วง

20140515-231714.jpg

In Thailand we use the long green eggplant to cook this dish but here in Australia the long green eggplant is only available in Asian grocery shops and the cost is quite high. I substitute it with purple eggplant which in any supermarket or fresh food market. The price is lower and the taste is just as good as the authentic one.

Yoyo Biscuits โยโย้บิสกิต

Australian Mother’s Day is coming. I would like to dedicate this biscuit recipe to my mother-in-law, and I think this would be a good gift idea for your mother too. One of my colleagues brought these biscuits to work recently. As soon as I tried one I said “May I have a recipe please?”. Trying a new recipe is one of my favourite things to do. This recipe doubles up from the original recipe. It makes around 50 single biscuits (25 if you pair them together and put the filling in the middle), but this recipe just uses single biscuits with icing on top. Trust me 50 are not too many! These are small biscuits which melt in your mouth and will be gone so quickly. I thank my colleague for her recipe. Now she has moved overseas so she hasn’t tried my biscuits yet, but I hope she will give me a good
