Kueh Kapit (Love letters)
Grew up eating these. So much easier these days to make them over electrical ones. We used to stoop near the charcoal and turn the mould until they are baked. Then, that rolling it up always make my fingers so sore.
I’ve since decided electric ones will be for me, until I finally find more time to do otherwise. All for the rolling, since I couldn’t find a suitable dowel anyway. Folding makes it easier to store, as I don’t have such large containers.
These are often the number one Chinese New Year goody. What is Chinese New Year without love letters?
