Golden Mouse 2008

A couple of days ago I was chasing a mouse in my kitchen with my maid and did not manage to catch it. I overheard my daughther laughing away at our comical sight and her friend, Wilson over the internet, asked us to roast it in the oven. So here it is ....the 40 Golden Rats....

The little golden mouse looks extremely cute and I bet they are yummy too! Do you mind to share the recipe as the Year of the Rat is coming up next week? That would be awsome to serve this "roast rat" as dessert dish at the New Year feast.
Thanks much in advance.

Wow, I don't think I ever saw such good-looking mice! (except the cute little hamster I had a few years ago.. but that I couldn't eat.. haha) Congratulations for your talent!
I visit your blog quite often and I love it, but I never posted a comment before, so I take this mouse-chance to say that I think you're a very creative and talented cook, and also, thank you for sharing your beautiful goodies! =)

KAWAII-neh! What a way to usher in the Chinese New Year, Aunty Yo!

Say, if Chinese New Year pineapple pastry can come in such lovely packaging, then it would be really cute! ^^

Hi Aunty,

Dear Aunty Yochana

The insides of your mouse cookie looks layered.
May I know if you used the Oil & water dough method to achieve the
flaky look or just the butter creaming method.
Anyway, the golden mice look charming. All the best for the year of the Golden Rat.

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi you lee,

I used pineapple jam but run out of jam so used red bean paste.

Hi delia,

I used my hands to mould it.. You can see it's all different sizes and shapes.
