  The price of flour drops, sure or not there are increases?   In Taiwan, no increases.  

  Do you like the common round pineapple tarts or those with shape of pineapple with filling inside them?

  in fact... all cny goodies are nice! but....... heaty lah!
• viciouskitty74

  Think the reasons why they are so sweet  or heaty.

  Is because CNY in china is freezing cold time.  So need heaty stuffs to warm the body?
