"大头虾"


Recently, noticed myself a bit "大头虾 : Big Head Prawn - direct translate from Cantonese" to describe a person tat is very forgetful. Always misplaced things (even money oh!!!) So scary!! sign of aging ........?? or I should put the blame on the prawn??? (after my sister read this, she will not want to supply prawn to me any more).

The prawn was really BIG, each was about 25/26cm long (the photo might not give your the exact picture, just take out a ruler and measured, even my plate was too small for it) and I had 4x by myself. Hahaha!..... now u know how come my head so big.

Little Magic Show

BEFORE

AFTER

& Thanks to Magic Sponge!!

this is the Magic Sponge tat my sister in-law send from Japan, it is very useful and convenient. Just need to wet the sponge and lightly rub, all the stubborn stain just gone like tat, see it yourself from the above photo..... no need me to say much.

You can use it to clean the kitchen area (like basin, tiles) too, but I find it a bit waste, so I only use it to clean all the kitchen utensils, especially Tea/Coffee Pot, Juice Extractor and Stainless Steel Pot.

I am not sure where to get it in Malaysia (If U come across it, pls get me inform) but for those who stay in Singapore, you can get it at the $2 shop..

LOVE of 1st sight


Don misunderstand when u look at the tittle, It's just my feeling towards this bread spread.

I had this when visited Shirney @ Germany. From the 1st look, I aldy had good impression, and once 1 bite on it, my feeling was "Oh!my GOD!!", just like eating the real Raspberry Puree. And tat particular morning, I had the most bread for entire life.


when back to M'sia, I told my sister that must get Shirney to bring back a bottle whenever she come back for holiday.

One day when I followed Jac to shop at Bangsar Village , I saw this jam, it looks so familiar (I could not recall how it exactly looks like and the product name) so I just bought a bottle to try, and confirmed YES, this is what I am looking for. Now I can get it Jaya Jusco too (no need to trouble Jac drive me all the way to Bangsar)

This Bread Spread was containing fine whole berries. It was not boiled, thus preserving wholesome natural goodness, additionally, they are low in sugar and contain lesser gelatin than normal spreads.
