At last, I baked something for the coming Chinese New Year. Though my family is not celebrating it this year due to my father in law passing, we still having the reunion dinner on New Year eve and enjoying the moment as usual...... without my father in law. I bet my mother in law missed him dearly. She has been crying almost everyday for the past couple of months. Oh well, life goes on ! This green tea pineapple roll is actually inspired by
SCS dairy Chinese New Year special. I haven't been baking much lately and this green tea pineapple roll is totally an inspiration. Luckily, I still have some green tea powder in hand and what am I waiting for ! It only took me an hour to complete everything. Goody....goody....goody.....
My favourite green turns out so pretty refreshing ! I just love them.

250gm butter, softened

These are super tasty pineapple rolls with my favourite green. I've tried the pandan coconut pineapple rolls as well, they are as superb ! No regret at all ! You should try it out too. >o<

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR. Enjoy & have loads of fun !
