Kiasu Mum Went Surveying..

Ooooh... I haven't really do my shopping on cookies yet.... still procrastinating. Myself very kiasu one, if I buy now, biscuits are not so fresh already so I will wait till this coming weekend, then only I will go and get some... Meanwhile, I survey around first as to which shop I wanted to go.....

Saw this shop in Pasir Pinji, very crowded on Sunday
I went in to look see, yes, indeed very fresh
so this weekend, I will go and get some varieties...

Bought some and tried... kids love them..
potato crackers...

some groundnuts puffs...
and other biscuits as well...all looked fresh...
OK, THIS WEEKEND I MUST GO!!

    I make my own cookies every year. No need to buy from outside. hehe.

    Hmm... if you want to buy new year cookies, I would want to recommend this confectionery shop to you:

    Last minute shopping? Aren't you afraid they will run out of stock? Over here, usually, those doing cookies and crackers stop doing one week before CNY!

    They look good, something to munch on while watching your favorite movie on DVD or your favorite show on cable TV. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.

    Biscuits? They make in bulk a month or two ago...so you buy later, also the same - the leftovers, if any. And the cakes too... I'm sure they put a lot of preservatives if they can keep them that long... Better buy from friends.

    I recognize the potato crackers, we have them in Indian stores here. They're delicious. Good luck with your cookie shopping :)

    My family stop buying traditional cookies since last year and buy bake vegetable from organic shops, that is much more healthier :)

    Hehe same here too... I'm even delaying some cleaning jobs (like washing the bathroom, scrubbing the kitchen and changing bedsheets) to next week so that they can be really, really clean on CNY. Cookies also this weekend baru bake!
