The MIL is back in KL after staying in Auckland for two months with her third daughter and family. As with all her overseas trips, she brought back loads of goodies from New Zealand for us.
A table full of snacks:
There are some more goodies in the fridge - huge wedges of gourmet cheeses, a big bag of almond, sourdough bread, almond butter, gourmet ham, and much more.
 |
| Whittaker's! Our favorite brand of chocolate, after Lindt. Our favorite is Almond Gold. |
 |
Two tubs of 1kg 10+ UMF Manuka honey. These will probably cost close to a thousand Ringgit in Malaysia.
|
 |
| Pure Delish - this is my favorite New Zealand brand for healthy snack bars and granola. |
 |
| Cake Kits for Sherilyn, our house baker. But I doubt she will have the time to bake now. Baking will have to wait until she has her semester break. |
 |
| Lucas Paw Paw ointment and Manuka honey lip balm |
 |
| Keto-seeded crackers - these pair really well with the NZ gourmet cheese. |
 |
| A very pretty white Michael Kors sling bag for Sherilyn. |
And these handmade fruit cakes and pandan kaya are from Ipoh. My younger brother went back to Ipoh last week and lugged these back for us. My 80-year-old dad's kaya is the best in the world. He painstakingly stands next to the hot stove for almost an hour to stir the kaya mixture in a pot to churn our smooth kaya that's not too sweet.
 |
| The yummy fruit cakes are infused with rum, and have the perfect balance of butter cake mixed with dried fruits, figs, and almond nibs. |
 |
| Delightful fruit cake with a lovely nutty texture and boozy kick. |
