Cinnamon Rolls
I've been cooking all day - I'll release my recipe for coconut chicken curry pretty soon but not yet. I think I'll stick to my baking for now (even though my coconut recipes are pretty famous, though I don't actually like coconut at all ironically). Do I like cinnamon rolls?

Chinese Cuisine – Jiaozi
In Chinese traditional cuisine, dumplings are truly a unique presence. They are neither a lavish feast made from rare delicacies, nor a casual street snack; instead, they are a food that spans the entire country and is tied to a whole year of longing. Whether it's the cold winter in the northeast of China or the warm spring in the south, a thin layer of dumpling dough wraps around delicious, fragrant fillings, and as they boil in hot water, they release the familiar taste of longing that many Chinese people cherish. Dumplings are not only a favorite food but also one of the most culturally significant symbols in Chinese cuisine.
