QQ 九层糕 (Steamed Kuih Lapis)


家里热闹了一阵子,终于回归平静。
弟弟妹妹全打包回马来西亚了。
爸爸妈妈还在我家;能够和他们一起生活毕竟是难得的福气。
但是为他们两老来说可能是度日如年吧?
呵呵。。。每天无所事事,就是吃饭,吃饭,吃饭。。。
妈妈绝对不是能过清闲日子的人;
饭来张口,衣来伸手的这种日子,她是不会欣赏的。
所以她常说自己是劳碌命。
今天心血来潮做了这个QQ的九层糕。
我以为爸爸妈妈不会喜欢这种口感的糕点;
没想到他们两个都说这样的才好吃。
爸爸说,那种软软的没有用。
哈哈。。。我自己就是喜欢那种软软的。
因为怕这QQ的糕没人会欣赏,所以只做了小小的一条 (20cm x 5cm),
够小了吧?
也好,一下子就消耗掉了。
