elusivekI'm not sure if cookies is the right word or not. And traditional. I don't think I should use the word traditional... it's old, it's authentic, it's local....(?)
I was running some errands and walked past this street hawker cookie man. He makes a kind of basic cookie dough, but with salted egg (I think). Rolls them into small balls (as you can see) and then cooks over a charcoal fire with a... flat waffle pan? Not sure what it's called.
The cookies come to a shapeless roundish... yellow piece of cookie (haha way with the descriptions).
This street hawker has been around since forever in the Senado Square. I'll see if tomorrow I can get to another... old, authentic, local hawker/store place. I'm thinking either the roast chestnut guy, or the dragon hair candy guy. The Malt Candy Gramps has passed away already so can't find that anymore... We'll see what I get up to tomorrow.
And here's a shot from yesterday when I was hanging out at the local library to kill time.

Date: 2020-10-17 17:51 (UTC)i dont know, i think traditional is the right word, as it means something that is done in the same way over a period of time. Like, Christmas turkey is traditional for a lot of families (except mine, where its chicken lol) and Halloween, etc. But the traditions can vary from group to group.
Also, is it that theyre biscuits? I know cookies in england are normally referred to as biscuits. But in other countries, biscuits are savoury baked things like the ones in the photo?

Haha we also have chicken instead of turkey for Christmas.
