日式巧克力克宁姆软面包 Japanese Chocolate Cream Bread

Today is the eve of lunar Chinese New Year and many have returned back to their respective home town to celebrate the festival with the family.

今天是农历新年除夕，许多朋友及亲友们都已回乡与家属一起庆祝新年。

This year we didn't have much time to prepare nor bake for the occasion. Instead of making all the yummy CNY cookies, I ended up purchasing them from everywhere. This is the only thing I have made by the 3rd week of the month January so here is the recipe.

往年我都会自己亲自下手弄些新年糕饼，今年却因繁忙而没办法到处购买市卖的过年饼来取代。这整个一月份里都没太多的尝试，唯能与您分享这项简单即好吃的日式软面包食谱。
