December 30, 2021 By Lokness Leave a Comment

2021 is almost over! Time really flies! It may not a year that we all wish for, but I hope we got through it with lots of good food! Look forward to a better year ahead! In the meantime, let’s take a look at our Top 6 recipes in 2021.

Top 6 Recipes of 2021 | The Missing Lokness

I can’t believe it’s the end of a year again. This year is another weird one. Personally, life has been pretty slow. We were able to go out and do some short trips, which is really nice after being stuck at home for 2020. But we’re still being careful and haven’t flown on a plane yet. Hope covid will slow down in 2022 for real, so things can be more normal.

For the blog, it hasn’t been an easy year. I have been really slow with recipe developing. For many times, I feel uninspired and unmotivated. I hope to be more positive and walk out from this in 2022. Thank you very much for your continued support. Your comments are what keep me going! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Wish you all a joyful and healthy 2022! Happy New Year!

Before we head to 2022, it’s time to look back at our 2021 Top 6 Recipes! 

  1. Yogurt Panna Cotta with Strawberry & Honey – Silky smooth panna cotta that is a little tangy from the yogurt. Pair with sweet honey and fresh strawberry. No doubt an excellent dessert for summer!

  1. Burnt Mandarin Orange Gin & Tonic – A fun twist on classic! Sprinkle sugar on mandarin slices and torch it for a bit. The sugar gets caramelized and added to the cocktail. A really lovely drink!

BONUS – My Favorite Recipe of the Year:

Cheesy Black Bean Dip – It looks so ordinary, but it’s one of my favorites! Creamy, savory, cheesy, little sweet, and little citrusy. Either for a game day or dinner party, get yourself a big bag of tortilla chips, because you will need them all.

Pistachio Glutinous Rice Balls (開心果糯米糍 Pistachio Glutinous Rice Balls (開心果糯米糍). These’re super popular in Hong Kong right now. The outside is chewy & soft like mochi. The inside is filled w/ ground roasted pistachios & sugar. Sweet & nutty. Absolutely delicious! No wonder people can’t get enough of these.

新一年, 祝大家蛇年行大運! 開心快樂! 新一年, 祝大家蛇年行大運! 開心快樂! 健康平安! Happy Year of the Snake! Wishing you a year filled with luck, happiness, health & prosperity! This year, I kept it simple with the decorations, but Bryan & I built this Lego bamboo. Lucky bamboo symbolizes prosperity & good fortune—and being Lego, it’ll last forever. I also bought some pistachios, known as “開心果” (happy nuts) in Cantonese, which symbolize happiness. 2025 hasn’t had the smoothest start, so I’ll gladly take all the happiness and good vibes I can get! 

恭喜發財! Gong Hei Fat Choy!🏮🧧🐍

We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this We’re back at decorating Rose Parade floats this year!🌹 Fluffing and gluing so many carnations for the Honda float. This time, we decided to come on a later date, & the vibe was totally different from last year. There were news crews, tons of volunteers, adorable rescue dogs (they’ll be on the Pasadena Humane float 🐾), & even Gayle King! Our legs & backs are aching right now, but honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Loved every minute of it! ❤️

Hong Kong Bakery Butter Cookies w/ Chocolate. Thes Hong Kong Bakery Butter Cookies w/ Chocolate. These cookies are buttery like Danish cookies, but light & crumbly at the same time. I grew up eating them in Hong Kong. They’re very common in local bakeries. So simple, but taste the BEST! Have you had these before?

Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney Califo Yesterday, we went to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Festive, & luckily, it wasn’t too crowded. I went in with a long list of foods to try, but by 4 PM, we were already stuffed! Here are some of our favorites:

1. Mickey Gingerbread - The most popular holiday treat! We’ve had this before & loved it just as much this time around. It’s soft & chewy with ginger and warm spices. And let’s be honest - they’re just way too cute! Quick tip: I placed a mobile-order through Jolly Holiday at 7am when the windows opened. Yes, I ordered it before arriving at Disneyland. It can sold out quickly, especially on a busy day. These can sell out fast, especially on busy days. You might find them at Market House too, but there’s no mobile ordering option there. (From Jolly Holiday)
2. Waffle Cristo - A twist on the classic Monte Cristo. Ham, turkey, & Swiss cheese on crispy waffles. Adding a touch of strawberry jam & maple syrup made for an amazing sweet & savory combo. Definitely getting this again next time. (From Royal Street Veranda)
3. Mickey-Shaped Beignets - 1st time trying these. Light & fresh! (From Mint Julep Bar)
4. Lobster Nachos - The nachos were flavorful as always, though I wouldn’t have minded a bit more sauce this time. Fair warning: the jalapeños brought some serious heat!
5. 2319 - This fruity coconutty drink is non-alcoholic. So refreshing! Loved it! (From Lamplight Lounge in DCA)
6. Churro - Hot & fresh! Always a must! (From churro carts)
7. Cold Brew Black Caf - Tasty! It kind of reminds me of tiramisu. If you’re in Galaxy’s Edge area, definitely check it out. (From Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo)
8. Dole Whip - No Disneyland trip is complete without this! I always go for the classic pineapple flavor. Tangy, refreshing, & never disappoints. (From The Tropical Hideaway)
