BBQ Pork Bun, Char Siew Pau

Free time is my bakery time, this round was Char Siew Pau. My first attempt, yet not satisfying. My wrapping skill is bad. I supposed to wrap and seal, but turned out I round them up. I able to cook the filling well, and the dough was acceptable too. For Pau Dough, just go to the mart to get the pau powder (inclusive dough ingredients), followed the instructions, will do. I had pretty hard time to make the dough, used super much energy. Kinda a bit regretting. For the filling Ingredients as below 1. Char Siew (cut into small pieces) 300g 2. Chopped onion 1/4 cup 3. Sugar 1 tbsp 4. Oyster sauce 1 tbsp 5. Light soy sauce 1 tsp 6. Dark soy sauce 1/4 tsp 7. Corn flour (add 2 tbsp of water to make a solution) 1tsp Method Fry onion with oil, and add all the ingredients and cooked till combined.

Sardine Puff

Referred to recipe from Chinkitchen , sardine puff is super damn easy to make. Definitely, you need an oven :) My 2 cents of advice: * Don't overload the roti paratta with "a lot of" sardine and onion * Have a good oven. Preheat is needed. Later on, bake the puffs with 160'c for 15 min (my oven is 1600w). The puff is very crispy and delicious :) Next time I will love to try with sausage and sardine or cha siew (roasted pork)

Love is simple

Love, isn't it unconditional? It seemed nope. I confess, I expect love to be rewarding. I won't request for equality in love, because it is impossible to measure the weightage of love. It is important to be loved by someone you love, because you literally feel you are in top of the world. Love is selfish. We don't like love to be shared. It is applied when you fall in love to someone. If the person treats you less importance than others, how does you feel? You feel suck, and unhappy. You wish you gain love from the person. Love is comparison. We compare our level of importance one another. We always tease each other, in fact perhaps we are envy or jealous about each other. Sometimes, we might seem agreeable or show ignorance, those are the sign of comparison. Definitely, we want to be the most beloved one. Above was just the examples of love behavior. Love is shared among family, friend, relative, strangers and others - literally human being. We tend to be possessive towa...

Dim Sum Buffet, Restaurant Janbo, Cheras

Since long time I craved of dim sum as breakfast, coincidently found out Restaurant Janbo offers dim sum buffet at RM15.50++ from 9am till 12pm (if not mistaken), exclusive 5% govt tax and 5% service tax. Restaurant Janbo has few branches located in Serdang, Cheras, Kajang and etc. I think the promotion is not heated up. I was there at 9am, and we were the only customers. About an hour ago, few new customers came in. A total of 46 types of dim sum for selection. You made a choice, and then they would serve you after you ordered. Don't waste the food, because the wasted food will be charged RM3 per plate. Ok, overall I found the dim sum, all in average. It wasn't very scrumptious and delectable, however I think it is still worth eating, especially for those heavy eaters. Additionally, you can enjoy your breakfast in an air-conditional, relaxing and quiet place. You also are served throughout the meal. p/s: the egg tarts, I will give a X means NO. The pastry wasn't crispy ...

Sentiment note from her

A girl tries her level best to stop her sentimental emotion. She easily breaks down in tear, even a unrealistic drama. She is fragile hearted. She pondered "how could she be calm and strong?". She nearly cries when she overwhelmed by responsibility in a far far land away from her home country. She nearly touched, almost burst in tear when someone she knows missing her and unbearable for her leaving. This time, the girl choose to be strong. She decided to be emotionless, because she doesn't want anyone to worry about her. They are surprise and wondered how she turns to be brave. She doesn't utter much, and remains silent. She reckoned, it is time for the plant to grow as tree. Farewell, an acknowledgement of parting. Her family has helping her for pre-departing preparation. They had spent a lump sum of money on her, the spending of few hundreds could just a blink of eyelids. Her mother has cooked special Chinese dishes, in case she is unable to eat it in a year. Her br...

(Movie) MONGA

Brotherhood is a deathly promise of loyalty between 2 or more persons. Brotherhood turns to be a risk-taking act in gangland. It is a bow to protect your gang members no matter how. Perhaps, you died on the street for the victory of gang fight, they will be celebrating because you play hard for them. You are dead, and you get nothing. What are the reasons to attract youths join gangland? Some, always being bullied thus joining to protect self. Some, joining undoubtedly due to a gangster's dad. Some, just follow what friends do. We think they are just too naive, but they regard themselves as heroes. You advice them, is a waste of tongue. Once they join, they will not quit. It is the rule of games. Experience is the vital reason for them to continue or quit. They might be caught in jail, therefore they regretted. They might lost their family, therefore they quit. However, vice versa they might be in till the day of death. Today you call them brother, another day they might be your en...

Eleven Bistro, Jonker Street Malacca

The last stop in Malacca was in Jonker Street, a street that you can get in touch with Malacca's culture and food. We decided to try Portuguese food, another specialty in Malacca. In exact, the location is in the middle of street, thus it is not noticeable. If your starting point is from Discovery Cafe on your left, you may walk through the alley. Later on, you will notice Eleven Bistro and Nancy Nyonya Food. The interior design is kinda simple. It is small, doesn't able to accommodation much customers. Due to much walking, I chose to have a pineapple ice to cold my body. It is just simple, but a good serve if you are thirsty or hot. The appetizer, is free of charge. I didn't know the name, but I guess it is similar as acah (fruits or vegetables such as cucumber, mango, papaya are soaked into a vinegar or others). It is savory, gives a sensation of sweet and sour. The ikan bilis is crispy too. Mix vegetables - fried with cauliflowers, carrots, broccoli, mushroom and prawn...

A Famosa Resort "Cowboy Town" Part 2

Whooah, we had been long waiting for this show. I kept wondering how the show would be liked, whereas friends reminded me not to miss the show. I reckoned, it was super great, and boosted my excitement to the highest. I sat in front, in case I couldn't shot any. Fortunately, my nikon bi bi functioned alright. It could be better if I have a better shooting skill. I was terrified, when the malay girls sat behind me trying to feed the giant elephant with sugar cane. They were afraid to feed, thus they kept shouting with laughter. Oh gosh, I swear I wanted scold them. Could you imagine a giant wet trunk nearly hit us? It was disgusted. My nikon bi bi, finally battery died before the end of the show. Sadly, I couldn't record everything especially the fireworks. How I wish I could catch the beauty in my bi bi. But, I satisfied with this camera. Red Indian Show: Spitfire Don't come near me, I will chop you! The best shot ever ! haha Hey dude, calm down Carnival: Friendly clown Col...

A Famosa Resort "Cowboy Town" Part 1

We walked down from resort to cowboy town, just a 1o minutes stroll. From far, you could hear the sound of music spreading from the direction of cowboy town. We excitedly walked a little bit faster, too bad we forgot to bring the pass. We turned back, at last we managed to catch a bus and took a ride to cowboy town. They welcomed us with sing and dance in their cultured costumes. Their enthusiasm gave a real warmth atmosphere to all of us. The live stage The front gate Small theme park Restaurants Bowling centre The malls There were only 3 choices of restaurants/cafe and 1 bistro, with a hell price. You forced to take the food, because there wasn't have any better choices. The attractions in this town were red indian show and carnival show. I was not regretting, because I was truly amazed and enjoyed those shows. Very worthwhile shows.
