Seaweed Floss In Cocoa Teochew Baked Pastry And A Giveaway

Yes, I never had enough ! I am totally obsessed with Chinese pastry making lately. Since I still have plenty of leftover ingredients from the previous mooncake project. And I am going for more pastry making.

Its actually been a long long time since I made this baked version pastry. And I am loving this even more now !  I nearly gave up this recipe and cancelled the project because out of cocoa powder. Suddenly, something came up. Yes, I found this ! The NuStevia cocoa syrup.

And what a coincidence, I received a mail from Ron @ NuNaturals and asked if I want to hold a giveaway. Why not ??? I am sure my readers will be very excited about it. So, keep your fingers cross guys.
