I did not know what it is called, but my post-maternity boss, Mummy, told me they are called "Fairy Biscuits"...I do not know what is so "fairy" about it.
Anyway, yesterday, I just thought of sharing this self-easy-to-make biscuits in the office. I used to take this as a child when I visited Van Houten Chocolate House. This chocolate boutique (there no other in Penang then), was located on the corner groud floor of Penang Bowl (where the Latin Quater is). I was usually brought there after school. The owner of the shop who knew my parent,
would always make this "fairy biscuits" for me.
would always make this "fairy biscuits" for me. Take a piece of Marie Biscuit (I had a problem enquiring about this biscuit from the market that morning - I asked if he had Marie...he looked puzzling at me...I had to repeat so many times, until he finally said.."Ah...Mary Pniah"!!! Aiyoh!!! Mei Mei finally bought 500gm of biscuits!!!), spread with a generous layer of butter and sprinkle chocolate rice on it...ideal for children parties and snacks. It is simple and cheap and brings back some chocolate-ty memories!!!
