Since our country, Malaysia, has been 'locked down' or imposed with the 'Movement Control Order', many mums are confined to their homes scratching their heads what to cook or serve to their families. So why not give this recipe a shot as the ingredients should be available in most households.
These Choc-Chip Peanut Butter Muffins are moist, warm, and soft with melty and chooey choc-chips. There's nothing like a peanut butter and chocolate combination. These can be enjoyed as a mid-morning snack with a strong cup of coffee or as an after-dinner treat!

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago. So I got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it. I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result. The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too. Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
