我非常愛吃栗子。栗子蛋糕、Mont Blanc、糖炒栗子、栗子炆雞翼都是我的最愛。秋天一到又是謀殺栗子的好時間囉!
美國也盛產栗子，但QFC, Safeway, Tops都沒見過有得賣，還是在大華９９或Uwajimaya才有。第一次見到是$5.00/lb 我已在想在耍我嗎？後來沒多久見到Uwajimaya賣$9.99/lb！！！我還看了一會，沒看錯！真的是這個價錢！
回到Vancouver時特地去看看，噓～賣$1.29/lb！這才像樣嘛！結果我等了又等，終於等到$2.99/lb時買了一袋進行殺栗大餐，嘻！
這是一個很栗子的磅蛋糕，以前差不多每年秋天都會做但有好幾年沒焗過了。跟平時吃的磅蛋糕很不同，因為加了杏仁粉，組織會比較粗糙但多了杏仁的香氣。用上蜜糖和麥芽糖代替部份的糖，所以口感很濕潤，最適合天冷時暖暖呼的吃一口了！

My gosh, why is everything so expensive at where you live? Is the cake bite size too? It kind of looks like financier cake. I like it!
How much did that almond powder cost you? I looked everywhere (planning to make macaron)and found it at Whole Food. I paid $12.99 for a bag! This baking/pastry hobby is draining my bank account slowly....
Yea totally! I have no idea why chestnut is soooooooooooo expensive! No it's not bite size this time...haha...just normal loaf cake size ;)
Oh oh, I brought mine from Trader Jos. They sell the best price for $4.xx!!! I saw QFC sold the same size of almond flour for $16.99! How crazy is that??
I always have a feeling that baking is popular in US but I found it difficult to get the ingredients.
I am looking for custard powder, I know there's an American brand produced them but I can't find it anywhere! Instead I found them in Chinese grocery store in Vancouver, funny erh?!
