Charlie’s Angels

Charlie's Angels - is about three pretty private investigation agents.

And here, I have three Angels too (Angel Passionfruit, Angel Pineapple & Angel Golden Cherry).

As usual, their boss Charlie, is never seen full face — (where the viewer only sees the back of his head and his arms) - assigning cases to the Angels via a speaker phone.

Guess, What play the role of Charlie here?? and where is Charlie now??

If you are able to guess it out, I will make this drink for you.

Have fun guessing……..

Mid Autumn Madness

“Mooncake Craze” is the only word can describe my love towards Mooncake, I really crave for this day to come. Every year I will visit different stall/kiosks to find out any new edition. “SHY” to say how many had gone into my stomach, but definitely more than anyone of you la! Last weekend, step into Sunway Pyramid and came back few packet, below are the few that can be recommended and considered. (Of course, it depends on your taste buds too…..)

PURPLE CANE @Jasmine Green Tea Mooncake

Their Green Tea Mooncake is a must for me, the skin itself is made of Green Tea, and the paste is made of white lotus with Jasmine tea/Rose tea , this is the different from others (others just mix the Green Tea into the lotus paste, too sweet)

YONG SHENG @Nyonya Pudding Curry Moon Cake

The counter just right in-front of Giant, from Muar, Melaka, they only set up their counter during Mid Autumn festival and Chinese New Year. They had the most variety and the most innovative Mooncake. U can try all their products (they staff is more than willing to serve you)

Worth trying :-

- Vegetarian Green Bean (Salty) Moon Cake

- Mushroom Sambal Pies

LUNAR GARDEN @ Beauty Melon (Dragon fruit + Low sugar white lotus) & Tiramisu (Coffee Lotus + Cheese - very very light) ** I LOVE this 2 most **

Had heard about them few years back, but they only had counter at Mid Valley, (because I only dare to drive up to One Utama area) so I miss the chance to try. This is the 1^st year they set-up their counter at Jaya Jusco, Pyramid. Sure I will not let go the chance la!!

Black Sesame Mooncake @ Q Jelly Bakery Shop, Ikano Power Centre

Teochew People, 潮州人

What is your 1^st impression when talk about Chaozhou or TeoChew people (潮州人)?? 8 out of 10 will answer you “TeoChew porridge (潮州糜 or mue, we called it 粥) lah!!

The TeoChew mue is rather different from Cantonese porridge or congee. Mue (潮州糜) is very watery with the rice sitting loosely at the bottom of the bowl. In HK they call it "Da Leng" (打冷). Eating out at roadside food stalls close to midnight before they go to bed.

When I was kid, we never miss a single lunch of porridge (rice is only for dinner) and not mistaken my mum will cook this Minced Pork Porridge during year end house cleaning day (大掃除), may be it was easier to prepare one pot rather then cook so many dishes, N till today, it’s still my favorite.

尤鱼, Minced Pork Porridge

- Cook porridge as usual, until boiling.

- Add in Shredded Ginger, Shredded dry Sotong (尤鱼 )& Tong Chai (boil for another 10 – 15 minutes)

- Add in minced pork (marinated with little soya sauce + pepper)

(stir longer to become starchy , if you prefer congee texture)

- Add Soya sauce & Pepper to taste

- Sprinkle Coriander leaf before serving.

All the way from Japan!!

When I received this parcel from my sister in-law (she works in Japan), I was wonder wat "Tong, Tong," is this, see also never see b4, (may b I am too "SuaKu" : just out from jungle) after looking left & right, up & down, I only know "Rakuwa" one word and the picture showing wearing it on the neck. Ask me to wear? so weird (so man kind of stuff), still puzzle around.......... suddenly a picture came into my mind. Ehhh.... it looks familiar leh! "Lee Chong Wei" also wearing it during the men's singles final with Lin Dan, at that time I was thinking that he was wearing some kind of lucky charm necklace. Without much hesitation, I made a search on Yahoo! and the information said that :-

- Recommended for people with stiffness/tension in their neck/shoulders.
- For better nights rest
- For relaxation and stress reduction

you could wear it around neck, wrist, ankle or any other location of pain, stiffness and discomfort. Can be worn while sleeping.

Wear to sleep? Will I strain myself??? Ha Ha...........



See, so many (I didn't show all) and different flavor of Kit-Kat. Ehhh!!..... she wants me to take a break?? or wants me to put on some weight???
Kit-Kat is one of my favorite Chocolate, (my top priority is still the one we had in Germany) but Drs. advice not to take too much (due to my migraine), but sometime just can not control......

Lady in RED!!

Fresh watermelon may be eaten in a variety of ways and is also often used to flavor summer drinks and smoothies.

One-cup serving of watermelon will provide around 48 calories. Watermelon is an excellent source of Vitamin-C and Vitamin-A. Watermelon also provides significant amounts of Vit-B6 and Vit-B1, as well as the minerals potassium and magnesium.

Mission Complete

When Cecelia hand me this Vietnam Rice Paper, she was so excited and told me ”U know, I found this at the grocery shop near my house!! Can u imagine, “Kedai Runcit” sell this???”

Feel like telling her “I dun want to imagine.” Ha! Ha!…… because her excitement and imagination will always end up become my mission.

Goi Cuon: Rice Paper Spring Rolls (Vietnam)

Filling :

- Lettuce, Carrot, Cucumber, Thai Basil Leaves -- Shredded

** Optional : Chicken Filling **

Heat up oil, sauted chopped onion, Add in minced chicken, stir fry till fragrant. Add in little fish sauce & sugar will do.

** Method **

- Arrange all the above ingredients on it, roll it up neatly and serve with dipping sauce.

Just mix together : Fish Sauce, Water, Sugar, Lime Juice, Ground toasted peanut (add in Chili Padi if you prefer spicy taste)

at the end of the day, when i had finished all the Vietnam Rice paper, I just pour the dipping sauce onto the ingredient, mix well and serve. It turns out taste better then using the Rice Paper (this is a good meal for those who are watching their weight!!)

3.3 Yum Cha

A Chinese custom of yum cha (飲 茶, Cantonese for "drinking tea") denotes a light meal served in middle afternoon from 2pm to 6pm.

Afternoon tea is common, although not a meal served daily. The food taken consists of some light meals or "snacks"such as sandwiches, toast, French toast, and even a mini meal served together with milk tea, coffee, lemon teas for Western style food and Chinese tea for Chinese style food.

Cinnamon Toast Fingers

- Place bread slices onto a baking tray

- Toast one side till golden brown. - Combine sugar (prefer Molasses Sugar) and Cinnamon Powder

- Butter the untoasted side of bread, sprinkle sugar & cinnamon mixture evenly over the surface.

- Return the bread to the oven and bake till the sugar is bubbling (abt 5 minutes)

- Remove the toast from oven and cut each slice into fingers.

Sup Sup "NO" Water!!

Halfway Cut Cut Cut, Chop Chop Chop. "SICK!!" Again, no water supply. This has been xxx time in these 2 months. I was cursing "Sxxxxx - the water supply company" left & right.
My hand was so dirty, kitchen was so messy............, WHY????... why this happen wan I wan to put on my "Iron Chef Show"?

Now, the only thing I can do is repack & put everything into the fridge. While allocating the space, I discovered few "TingTing, TangTang" I can play with. Not Bad!! at least can settle for one meal.






** spread a layer of butter, Pesto or just Olive Oil








** top with any ready made Pasta Sauce (u can sprinkle some herbs on top too)







** now, layer any ingredients you like and last sprinkle some cheese on it.








** toast/oven bake for 10 - 15 minutes.

Taiwan!! Touch your Heart #2

Yehliu (野柳) is a peninsula on the north coast of Taiwan between Taipei and KeeLung. It is famous for the curious shapes carved by sea erosion.

One of the most famous scenic spots is the so-called "Queen's head", and the others are, as named by their shapes, "the fairy's sandal", "bee's hives", etc.

本區特為大屯山餘脈伸出太平洋中，長約1700公尺的岬角。由於海蝕風化及地殼運動等作用，經海水差異侵蝕的結果，遂形成各種嶙峋崢嶸的奇岩林立，鬼斧神工似的雕琢出燭台石、蕈狀石、拱狀石等特殊地形景觀。

風景區分三大區：第一區女王頭、仙女鞋、乳石等，第二區豆腐岩、龍頭石等，第三區海蝕壺穴、海狗石等。野柳每年10~11月和3~5月在野柳可以遇到相當多的候鳥、過境鳥，甚至迷鳥等，是相當重要的賞鳥聖地。

Jioufen, also known as Jiufen or Chiufen ( 九份), is a mountain town in the Rueifang Township of Taipei County near Keelung, Taiwan..

At present, Jioufen is a renowned tourist attraction representative of Taiwan. It draws many tourists from Taipei during the weekends.

The town of Jiufen is built into the side of the hills slightly inland from the Pacific Ocean coastline. The main area of interest to visitors are the town's historic commercial district which is covered by two pedestrian streets: Jishan Street (基山街, which runs along the ridge line), and Shuchi (Shuqi) Street (豎崎路, which runs up and down the slope of the hill). The area is small enough to cover on foot.

Jioufen is my favorite spot. Those who had visited Jioufen will agreed with me.
