Truth??? Heehee....... of course not..... i'll definitely hope to win something.....<br />
<br />
There's 3 choices on the topic to write - being:<br />
<br />
a) how to eat like a panda (geez.... I don't have any idea at all)<br />
b) a recipe for panda food (this don't looks easy too, I don't even have any idea what does a Panda eats, let alone to create a recipe. Oh no, not a good choice too.)<br />
c) what pandas eat (ah ha.... this seems easy. shall stick with this)<br />
<br />
When I do a search on what do pandas eat, I found: Bamboo. That's the most direct simple answer. In actual fact, pandas daily menu consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems, and shoots of various bamboo species.<br />

Haha... these are the Chinese new year auspicious indoor bamboo plant, or perhaps they do when they are real hungry like Kungfu Panda. Kungfu Panda eats almost anything. He even eats "Peace" like this cartoon picture:<br />

I've not watch Kungfu panda before - not part 1 nor part 2. Was told that it's real funny. Perhaps I should start looking out for it and start watching. In the meanwhile, I would suggest Kungfu Panda visit <span style="color: purple;"><a href="https://www.foodpanda.sg/" target="_blank">HERE</a></span> to look out for more food. <br />

<br />
Today while ironing my clothes, i recalled that i found that a black blouse which i wear is really too plain. Like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVv5DpnTGkbcmx9a61ZWqe0rRn4ov6lsVOKGiKVUb7g6rqXnmAAycYuMCqrzfkoXtzQBiq_jUqdI-kl9-zB3AUuRCxUfdXHlZ-EQXEGppDlPnvhWsTkwujnIeED77ok4znwQA5IktC6y2J/s1600/photo+(31).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVv5DpnTGkbcmx9a61ZWqe0rRn4ov6lsVOKGiKVUb7g6rqXnmAAycYuMCqrzfkoXtzQBiq_jUqdI-kl9-zB3AUuRCxUfdXHlZ-EQXEGppDlPnvhWsTkwujnIeED77ok4znwQA5IktC6y2J/s320/photo+(31).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Too plain, isn't it? Lol! I guessed, i probably bought it because of the lace embroideries sleeve. I love that. I decided to add some details to make it less plain. I recalled removing some blink button beads from an old blouse, i decided to recycle it. Ta...ta.... here's my new blouse:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6nToj3ajr7j_XzjGEet-2220cYGsPH9zW3sznyN6c8Y4KLqgmHZOn9yfeVtW3T98Vu92IVLYl4lSOVB3dpedt_hDam8MFR7EDNsh0vhG0D2ZsmLslWgA0L_N6zkhzZjkL0GUXoBFsMoyq/s1600/photo+(32).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6nToj3ajr7j_XzjGEet-2220cYGsPH9zW3sznyN6c8Y4KLqgmHZOn9yfeVtW3T98Vu92IVLYl4lSOVB3dpedt_hDam8MFR7EDNsh0vhG0D2ZsmLslWgA0L_N6zkhzZjkL0GUXoBFsMoyq/s320/photo+(32).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How i do it? It's simple. As the blink button comes with 2 small holes at the side, i just hand sew it.</div>
<br />

Then i recalled sometime back, i DIY a plain t-shirt too. As i didn't take a before picture, i can only show you my end product.<br />

I love to DIY, it not only satisfied my urge to create, it also gives me something unique which you can't get a second piece. How about you? Do you DIY?<br />

Yesterday, i cooked curry chicken with ready made curry chicken mix. My family enjoyed it with french bagel. Simple and fast and it's a way out of the regular rice meal.<br />
<br />
Last week, i cooked cheesy broccoli with recipe adapted from Luxury Haven. <a href="http://luxuryhaven.blogspot.sg/2012/09/grilled-garlic-prawns-with-baked-cheesy-broccoli-recipe.html" target="_blank">Here's the original recipe.</a> I added bacon bits on top of the cheese. Some how or the other, my broccoli didn't turn out like Luxury Haven presented version. Here's how my version turn out:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbafvoGALrZfwrjH-7E2Dm5tIOL2T4KjVRTA9JVRXNDAIeXcGurXKNicahu1n4MfF-e9Cqg6bWJEw16dfMQjspCeVx6vM0UYnUwydp2m9gG9pCjs5bLYMIxjBOCsQGI_p22Tj6NL0u9RyQ/s1600/photo+(20).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbafvoGALrZfwrjH-7E2Dm5tIOL2T4KjVRTA9JVRXNDAIeXcGurXKNicahu1n4MfF-e9Cqg6bWJEw16dfMQjspCeVx6vM0UYnUwydp2m9gG9pCjs5bLYMIxjBOCsQGI_p22Tj6NL0u9RyQ/s320/photo+(20).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Nevertheless, it is still very tasty.<br />
<br />
I also cooked salted egg yolk chicken.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDzX57XE5s7Ro1WQ6zW8jueolOU83_8BwkPhLZccRBOKfONBGVJWHiCpg8XfYdVyYdtIlXevoSHWH43smmE5gpm7jefVkfR5030Ue7J_tJaG8f4GBn-Uh41F_S3ptuG8iZ4vvsjsfEUe5/s1600/photo+(19).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDzX57XE5s7Ro1WQ6zW8jueolOU83_8BwkPhLZccRBOKfONBGVJWHiCpg8XfYdVyYdtIlXevoSHWH43smmE5gpm7jefVkfR5030Ue7J_tJaG8f4GBn-Uh41F_S3ptuG8iZ4vvsjsfEUe5/s320/photo+(19).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is also tasty but some how or the other, it's not as crispy probably because i pre-fried the chicken pieces way ahead and then fry again with the boiled salted egg yolk. I knew that most recipe would call for the salted egg yolk to be steamed. I boiled mine because i love to egg the salted egg white and find it too wasteful to discard it and just steam the yolk alone. I shall KIV this recipe till i perfect it before sharing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also boiled a simple chestnut chicken soup. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
My main purpose is just to drink the soup. Nothing to wow about it except my daughter enjoyed it very much, she loves it so much that she drink 2 big bowl of it. What i like to share here is that i manage to get vacuum pack chestnut from the supermarket. It comes like this:<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's considered a little dear thou. For this small packet, it cost me $2.90. But i don't mind paying for it because it save me the hassle of having to peel the husk and skin of the fresh chestnut and i don't like the dried form. The fresh one actually make the soup sweeter and tastier.</div>

Today, i cooked a one dish meal again - cabbage rice. Simple and easy way out of thinking what dishes to cook. However, one dish meal must take care of all the nutrients too. Therefore, in this dish, there's vegetables (cabbage and mushroom), meat (lean pork, chinese sausage and dried shrimp) and rice.</div>

Apparently at one time this was very popular. I have heard how many people queue for hours just to try this soya bean milk dessert. It's located at old airport road. I've yet to try it because i'm one person who have no patience to wait for food. I feel that no matter how good the food is, having got to wait for hours would make me lost my appetite. Furthermore, it's in old airport road and it's very unlikely that i would go all the way there just to eat tau hueh.<br />
<br />
Today i decided to DIY myself again.<br />

What i like is that the prices are relatively reasonable and most of the things look of quality products.<br />
<br />
I was lucky to join Luxury Haven giveaway and won myself a US$50 voucher. I'm really elated and can't wait to go on a shopping spree.<br />
<br />
Today my 1st Vitacost purchase arrived.<br />

Earth Therapeutics Filing Block - US$1.92</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Barielle Nail strengthener cream 0.5 fl oz - US$7.12 - there's a lot of good comment on this product in the site and i think i really needed one as my nails are pretty fragile nowsday and it could hardly grow long</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Revlon Crazy shine nail buffer - US$3.59 each - my friend bought this and told me that it really works wonder, therefore i got 2 because i'm super "kiasu" (afraid to loose out) as i'm a typical Singaporean - hahaha......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Earth Therapeutics cuticle nipper - US$4.00 - I love to DIY and since i already bought so much things to take care of my nails, i might as well buy this too (and it's really cheap, i think you may have to pay about S$15 to get one here locally) to complete my nail care system.</div>

My most value for money purchase - Avalon Organic Thickening Shampoo 14 fl oz - US$4.62</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Good buy isn't it? I've been experiencing thinning hair problem and i hope this could help. I may just have to keep repeating my order of this if it worked. See how Vitacost wrapped this shampoo? Cling wrap plus putting it into a ziplock bag just incase it spill out which i think is very unlikely to happen as i noticed how careful they are in packing the various item that i purchased.</div>

Aloha Bay Chakra Candle jar Abudance - 11 oz - US$8.54 <br />
I hope this would bring better luck and abundancy to my family after lighting it. This comes in a glass jar and Vitacost is very careful in packing it by having it bubble wrapped in more than 2 layers - as such, my glass jar is "safe and sound" when it reached me. If you are into "feng shui", Vitacost sells plenty of this kind of candles and lightings for feng shui.<br />
<br />
I love this salt lamp very much.<br />

My highest price item among my purchases - <br />
Avalon Organics Vitamin C vitality facial serum - 1 fl oz - US$15.25<br />
Having read Luxury Haven's experience with<a href="http://luxuryhaven.blogspot.sg/2012/07/jyunka-m-miracle-fluid-in-just-one.html" target="_blank"> Jyunka Miracle M+ fluid</a>, and i knew that this Miracle M+ fluid is actually pure vitamin C and i'm hoping that this Avalon Vitamin C serum would do me some miracle like what Jyunka's Miracle M+ fluid would do. Hahaha..... Naive or smart? Whatever it is, i hope this would give me some magic.<br />

Although i love dark chocolates, but this tastes real bitter, so no one in the house likes it except me. I decided to do something out of it. Armed with a bag of Haribo gummy bear which i bought from the local supermarket recently, i decided to mould my own gummy bear chocolates.<br />

Also an ex-colleague of mine bought me a silicon chocolates mould for me when she's leaving the company which i have no chance to test out yet. So i decided to embark on my chocolates moulding adventures.</div>

I also wanted to try this chocolate mould which i buy from Diaso (the everything S$2 shop),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's really no real recipe involved in my chocolates moulding. What i did is that since the dark chocolates is way too bitter, i added some semi sweet chocolate block into it while i steam melted my dark chocolates.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a wok, put a steamer stand in it, bring the water to boil, put a deep mixing bowl on the stand, put dark chocolates and semi sweet chocolates block into the bowl. Steam till chocolates melted. Stir to mixed well. In the chocolates mould, place a piece of gummy bear into each hole. Spoon melted chocolates into the mould. As far as possible, try to fill chocolates within the mould or else it could be quite messy trying to clean up the excess outside the mould.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All u need to do next is send your chocolates filled mould into the fridge to set the chocolates.<br />
<br />
When the chocolates is set, de-mould it from the mould. For the chocolates mould which i bought from Diaso; it's easy. Just use a toothpick to push at 1 corner and the chocolates will pop up as the mould is more shallow. For the silicon mould, it's also easy since the silicon mould is soft and you can just press the chocolates out from the soft silicon mould as shown in the picture below.<br />

In order to keep my chocolates in the fridge for later consumption, i use aluminum foil to wrap up my chocolates. There's no need to use heavy duty aluminum foil, just the thin type will do.<br />

Or if you can find colored aluminum foil or aluminum chocolates cups which some supermarket sells (i remember seeing them), use them to wrap your chocolates to make it fanciful. I didn't get mine as i'm just playing with my chocolates, so i decided to drop the wrapper chocolates into a fanciful gift bag instead.<br />

Today's dinner dish - Prawn in the Net. <br />
<br />
I've done this before except i can't quite remember the exact version. Today i redo this again in my own version. This is my family all time favourite. Simple and easy. I've rename it "Prawn in the Net". Don't you think this looked like a net with prawn inside.<br />

I wanted to make sweet and sour fish today, however, i don't know where to start. From my last week failed attempt in making fish and chips with my sifu recipe which is share on<a href="https://www.facebook.com/?sk=lf#!/notes/violet-fenying-%E9%99%88%E7%B2%89%E6%A8%B1/12-september-2012-%E8%8A%9D%E5%A3%AB%E9%85%A5%E8%84%86%E9%B1%BC%E6%8E%92-crispy-cheese-fillet-o-fish-/509015829127676" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #351c75;">97.2 DJ Violet's facebook notes</span></a>. Don't be mistaken, the recipe is perfectly fine except somewhere somehow i must have done wrongly, therefore my fish and chips turned out ugly because the batter didn't stick onto the fish but the batter is still crispy. (My sifu wrote the recipe and i helped in translating it to English version.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Therefore i start hunting for another recipe for the batter, and i recalled<span style="color: #741b47;"> <a href="http://luxuryhaven.blogspot.sg/2011/06/tips-to-light-crunchy-fish-chips.html" target="_blank">Luxury haven's recipe</a></span>. I took a quick read and start looking into my kitchen for the required Ingredients. I couldn't find self raising flour which is required. Then i remembered during school days, i was told that self raising flour is actually plain flour plus baking powder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Armed with the tips from Luxury haven and my sifu's recipe, i start concocting my own batter. Guess what, the batter turns out so puffy and crispy and i decided to leave out the final step for making sweet and sour fish. This is my end product:</div>

I learn this from my office cleaner lady. She's our part time cleaner which comes only twice a week. She always shared what she read from the newspaper with me - sometime from health tips to stars gossips. One fine day, she came with a box of salad for us - she said she learn from a lady doing catering and she went to help one of the day and she find this guava salad very nice and refreshing, so she decided to make some and share with us in the office. When she brought it to the office, no body could figure out what was the guava tossed with, but everyone enjoyed it. She keep saying it's very easy, just toss seasoned orange peel with the guava and voila! you get your refreshing salad. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mmm.... seasoned orange peel, gosh! how to season the orange peel meh.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then another day, she brought a packet of orange peel for me. Hahaha........... it didn't occurred to me then, that it is actually this:</div>

Yes, i have used orange peel in my brownies before, but it isn't like this. It's those that is seasoned with lots of sugar and it's a little wet, so i knew it can't be that kind of orange peel that she was talking about. Till she bought me a packet. This is the type whereby you can get at Chinese Sinseh (Chinese doctor) medical shop. You may also find this in supermarket at the preserved tibits section.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All you have to do is chop these orange peel finely into bits like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
After that toss it with your guava and you would get a refreshing guava salad. The trick here is, do not cut your guava into big chunk, instead, sliced it thinly. For full detail, please refer to my <a href="http://ds-myrecipe.blogspot.sg/2012/09/orange-peel-guava-salad.html"><span style="color: #ea9999;">bon appetite recipe cabinet</span></a><br />
<br />
While i was preparing this salad, something just crossed my mind. Haha! come on, have fun with your food and cookies cutter. After slicing your guava thinly, use your cookies cutter of any shape that you like or you may use multiple cutter for multiple shape to cut out your desired shape and make you salad interesting. Well, i want to feel lucky, so mine is in the shape of four leaves clover.<br />

This really comes as a surprise. Subsequently, i heard from a friend there's some preview for the national day parade. So i guess this is just part of the national day program. Oh, by the way, i still didn't have my camera with me - so these pictures are all taken with my mobile phone.<br /><br />Then, we had dinner at the Italian restaurant - Palio - in Michael's Hotel. The meal is quite costly but worth it. Pardon me for i have forgotten to take picture of the food till we are almost done except for the steak.

Work had kept me very busy and also because i shifted to another part of Singapore (heehee.........as if Singapore has a very big area), therefore i had been lazy to write anything here. <br /><br />More than 3 months later, i have decided to share again. Oh oh, no food production as my new place has got no convection oven yet. I need to get one real soon. Meanwhile, i still promise lots of pictures. This time i'm sharing my trip to the RESORT WORLD - SENTOSA - the much talked about integrated resort (IR) of Singapore.

This time it's for real - IT'S FINALLY COMING. (i'm still keeping my finger crossed - God, please don't do it again - i would surely collapse if it happen again)<br /><br />i have start stocking up on food - it's has really been a long time since i last bought such big quantity of food. There's a lot of things i wanted to do - i want to do shrimp paste fried chicken wing, panfried pork chop, braised pork (kong bak), assam prawn, salted egg yolk prawn, mayonaise cheese prawn, bake cheesy prawn, crispy fried pork, crispy fried fish, layer cheese cake with jelly top, snow skin mooncake (yes mooncake, haha, i have got the ingredients but didn't do because lack of time and lack of people to consume), cashew nut cookies, etc. etc......<br />The list can go on and on........... but obviously i couldn't have done all in 1 go, and neither have i stock up on everything. I just stock up my freezer - at least the freezer is no longer empty for the longest time. Wow! i surely have lots to catch up. But for a start, i had already make my signature cashew nuts chocolate chips cookies as requested. Obviously, she have really missed these cookies. I have originally planned to do this just 1 day ahead which is today because i want to have the freshest cookies. But i make it on Sunday night instead. Luckily i did, otherwise, i think i might be over excited and it might not turn out well.<br /><br />2 hours more before the date jumps - i wish for it to move faster...........Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796482313411167917.post-76641523881664981802009-10-11T08:51:00.005+08:002009-10-11T09:16:37.476+08:00Playing with my doughI had been trying to make bread for the longest time already, but because i don't have a bread maker, neither do i have a strong power mixer, so i didn't attempt to do again because the bread i do is always only soft immediately after baking but by the next day, it would be hard already. I have been searching and searching for bread recipe that doesn't require machine, fully handmade, but in vain. Till recently, sifu wanted to teach a fully handmade bread over the radio program, so i was able to acquire the recipe 1st hand since i had been helping with the English translation of the recipe all this while.<br /><br />Last tuesday, i took a day off to visit my precious girl, after visiting, as i have not make any arrangement for any other activity, i decided to give the recipe a go even before it is put up in the DJ's kitchen recipe blog. (The recipe was put up on the same Tuesday evening after the recipe was taught over the radio program).<br /><br />After much kneading, swinging and banging with the dough, i finally got my bread (fully handmade). Although the bread is not super soft like those selling in bakery, basically i'm quite satisfied with the result. At least it didn't go down the rubbish chute the next day. Infact, everything was finished up by the next morning by just 2 of us. Well, and at least i enjoyed the whole process of playing with my dough and i came out with the following design:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGD_ZNWZzf36TXWzX8g4hlB69f3PvEx9FTeG_5T6rPmtLMychtyixxQc2GfDZMQy2p_7cQ_K3VZvBOzSBvDOCkH_E-D3hGfoZX7-mjw_IiVWJPQHGAEtVGwLWFANsZ-62948vEagh8kEn/s1600-h/mooncake+304.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiMyLDoZhHnAgbOfDQqkx8W4lLndKuJKvRCHC0i-2MaLudGQGUzohpVpymcEzDwVitPAuX926MfYa1MKxMNgAKlhPgYfhxuBvgz650TqexeOUVExDNTgxusRoEdhrKEVxyRbZndGbJ4T8F/s1600-h/mooncake+303.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391139619695417490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiMyLDoZhHnAgbOfDQqkx8W4lLndKuJKvRCHC0i-2MaLudGQGUzohpVpymcEzDwVitPAuX926MfYa1MKxMNgAKlhPgYfhxuBvgz650TqexeOUVExDNTgxusRoEdhrKEVxyRbZndGbJ4T8F/s400/mooncake+303.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkH6LriXPLUNtHZhKCCUDfD1Ring4T4pUITepLAGcmfSq_nF5ldP3yjq5iN_vvGS6-F7oHP2Wm_K9XmdWlBnRksHK-3YH6UuHkKIUG0hTlEnfQOvm4R0OKsHcwguPJbrbwow3QJtUmGFnx/s1600-h/mooncake+305.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391139610897814594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkH6LriXPLUNtHZhKCCUDfD1Ring4T4pUITepLAGcmfSq_nF5ldP3yjq5iN_vvGS6-F7oHP2Wm_K9XmdWlBnRksHK-3YH6UuHkKIUG0hTlEnfQOvm4R0OKsHcwguPJbrbwow3QJtUmGFnx/s400/mooncake+305.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The interior texture<br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN6ybWny32bkWw3vkfyC88dShYVNfj69quLS0LeLDw0jIZY1Ilq2d4V0x5AUCv-MSs-sGBAX7Rb9gJY4Pe6TKZNyPgjuTTHfEIPaFyWy1YQ9aa-53olQ2RxLs-5gvz6HuLN5SsAqC82diT/s1600-h/mooncake+292.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391139593703142242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN6ybWny32bkWw3vkfyC88dShYVNfj69quLS0LeLDw0jIZY1Ilq2d4V0x5AUCv-MSs-sGBAX7Rb9gJY4Pe6TKZNyPgjuTTHfEIPaFyWy1YQ9aa-53olQ2RxLs-5gvz6HuLN5SsAqC82diT/s400/mooncake+292.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Ham roll with cheese flower design bread<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4l0yC8S4l4SNClkVtdmsLE2nghNe9jQFHT7NVHUb8-RdBvGsCZK0h5ACFTb4ywEP1YvQMj8zC-7OZ2I4bU7h9f8iepgQwX4dpYwJJAeOFCnV6jG4DnLLnH60Xfi8lDSSPFRrwxthIeY9/s1600-h/mooncake+289.jpg"></a><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391139602279913170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTQ7dlr9eFwD4-Xvq2W2l0d-Lidoa77eESxbzF0_L4SCDhaQkMNb7P4LPOZ5zO-_gv7c0Bc6Jp4k4CBaNye_SiHoLX8RDWqLg_Oasmw9vZaxwOlKAXGip5GE6_BlbuA9V5aCdAuFIBJkYO/s400/mooncake+297.jpg" border="0" />Ham roll with cheese "pork rib" (supposed to represent) design bread<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391140354932236866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivjO3Azk3gGbNfish3Y8-roYwDWndgihTYpLX4oYRCMbB286E0-1l-k4WWYd_M3l2pHSQ9wUqQLWpXh4VWElfpdV5qETPzHOnzkkOgN_QpgkrhZ9hMjA4iCkwzZXdbvcmN8VooVMTBKcr/s400/mooncake+287.jpg" border="0" />My greatest creation, pig's head design bread.</div><div> </div><div>haha! isn't this cute?

In my last post, i only show the exterior of the mooncake that i have make because it's not suitable for eating yet. 3 days later, i cutted the mooncake and took a quick snap of the interior before it was being wallop up. It's a pity that i brought ready make lotus paste and i found it too sweet. Perhaps, next time i should attempt to do the lotus paste myself or otherwise, should look for another supplier. According to my baking friend who bought my mooncake ingredients for me, there's another version of the lotus paste which is reduce sugar but it cost more and he's didn't get for me that since i didn't specifically said so. Reduce sugar means reduce raw material yet it cost more, why? haha, i guess that's when less is more and more is less.</div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRWQvii2WiGMyS06gn9t9wUpcN9adFlFwvRg-B1eSBdrXh54ozXt47fRzmthk2tbBjSCcLpSuqokA5NvN1Eu7WF7ke_bAPtTiFk304TmWM2JE-1rgHocfMhIRtFYe7cLzbUF_OPb8iRMtj/s1600-h/mooncake+283.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386138407365489106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRWQvii2WiGMyS06gn9t9wUpcN9adFlFwvRg-B1eSBdrXh54ozXt47fRzmthk2tbBjSCcLpSuqokA5NvN1Eu7WF7ke_bAPtTiFk304TmWM2JE-1rgHocfMhIRtFYe7cLzbUF_OPb8iRMtj/s400/mooncake+283.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02XsV5AXOpRlWiQ6poumkB-NiCHaHtaBaq05IL_cqTzTMfNnUjQJFc2oQMXSlOQ7tVFyZJmuzEpS7gF7qZMSjFQDya2ls2N2lh88lTmZHY5WdafB8W7DrcbpjlERdJQdyCjDOFzLu0sih/s1600-h/mooncake+279.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386138400938714850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02XsV5AXOpRlWiQ6poumkB-NiCHaHtaBaq05IL_cqTzTMfNnUjQJFc2oQMXSlOQ7tVFyZJmuzEpS7gF7qZMSjFQDya2ls2N2lh88lTmZHY5WdafB8W7DrcbpjlERdJQdyCjDOFzLu0sih/s400/mooncake+279.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is my newly acquire cartoon character mooncake mould. There's Doraemon, Garfied, Mickey Mouse (same design as my previous post one but i measured, it's actually slightly bigger), Winnie The Pooh, 2 Hello Kitty (1 head only and another full body) which is my favourite. Some one asked me, why i like Hello Kitty, my reply - because it would not argue with me as it doesn't have a mouth. Well, so does that means i don't like Doraemon? Well not, although Doraemon only got mouth but no ears, i still like it because there will be time when you only want to listen to someone talking instead of you talking, isn't it? Basically, at my age, i shouldn't be so crazy over this sort of things, but some how or the other, when come to this, i didn't seems to grow up and i still wake up early on saturday and sunday to watch the morning cartoon and children's program showed on local channel.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Back to my newly acquired mooncake mould. This didn't come easy. Another baking friend of mine from Malaysia have specially went to Kuala Lumpur to search for it. I just happened to over heard sifu mentioning, and i immediately requested for one set. When this baking friend reach the shop, there's not much balance - only 4 sets.

This was make for a quick snack as i wanted to finish the orange peel and raisin left over before it expires. I began to realise that i always buy ingredients which i intended to use but after that didn't use due to laziness and busyness. I think i should really stop this bad habit. But what to do, sometimes when i visit phoon huat that sells bakery item, i couldn't help but would buy because i always thinks that i may need it. Why must phoon huat be so far away from my house? If only it is just right beside my house, i wouldn't have to do this and develop this bad habit.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnL4zepyI31eXIJmMnuhKQbkk8k0l9UotxgVeNf_IhG82b2glkwVydy8wpymJatUW7HdYwwMz54DQwphQZ8KZm4gEbZhWsHwmplCyLkn4VXr72BykR02pL72I3YAU69iM3utAIrt08Grr/s1600-h/mooncake+061.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383779506364722690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnL4zepyI31eXIJmMnuhKQbkk8k0l9UotxgVeNf_IhG82b2glkwVydy8wpymJatUW7HdYwwMz54DQwphQZ8KZm4gEbZhWsHwmplCyLkn4VXr72BykR02pL72I3YAU69iM3utAIrt08Grr/s320/mooncake+061.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNsmxns1pQpTOHx1HIroEwz9wxyeBEbn968TOm54OsV27Axt5yemYz4Kp2bO_pzAAoqYLBJAoZ95EWl9rXpoHmPY1AqfeTwHiZ-dY2N3A5qWaHCnQykgSOJhcn-ff8ZVFe1O5PFmMliaMK/s1600-h/mooncake+058.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383779499623026946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNsmxns1pQpTOHx1HIroEwz9wxyeBEbn968TOm54OsV27Axt5yemYz4Kp2bO_pzAAoqYLBJAoZ95EWl9rXpoHmPY1AqfeTwHiZ-dY2N3A5qWaHCnQykgSOJhcn-ff8ZVFe1O5PFmMliaMK/s320/mooncake+058.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is chocolate brownies again.

Well, i do know how to make mooncake before this. It's just that it's rather inconvenient for me to get the ingredients needed and i have stopped making till saturday.

By the way, these mooncakes (except the bigger one with the fish design) are make with push out plastic mould type which my baking friend bought for me from Malaysia. Infact i just got a call from Sifu that this baking friend managed to get another set with 6 interchangeable design for me too. I have to wait patiently (hopefully not too long) for her to bring to sifu's house so that i can get it from her.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyUpvwz-jgYKkE9sIntzcCLp_SzWBd8M9dyy0pB3RXk_J4Sa1nmCHaIJ-cHItCqIUieEI5eri5YjauIOU_C_OFZPZJ6ewzAssNZRPCwwT9BVU1o5OBGNVR8Sf6gr3SJUFStTRKM1rJb8Qw/s1600-h/mooncake+119.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383777527775930498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyUpvwz-jgYKkE9sIntzcCLp_SzWBd8M9dyy0pB3RXk_J4Sa1nmCHaIJ-cHItCqIUieEI5eri5YjauIOU_C_OFZPZJ6ewzAssNZRPCwwT9BVU1o5OBGNVR8Sf6gr3SJUFStTRKM1rJb8Qw/s400/mooncake+119.jpg" border="0" /></a>These are the real traditional one - make with wooden mould and black bean paste.

But the mooncake above is a mixed up during Sifu's other class. When conducting class, sifu use black bean paste. At the end of the session, while i was away in the supermarket getting kitchen paper towel, the large mooncakes which originally make by me was being swap accidentally and mine was being taken away by one of the 2 students there. No choice, just my luck. </div><div></div><div>As i can't eat these mooncake till tommorrow, (waiting for the pastry to be soften after 3 days - the purpose is for the oil to be return back to the pastry), so there's no cut up mooncake in this post.

But then nothing seems to go right for me. Wanted to move to a new environment - sold my flat but didn't get a good price. Thought i could make do with a smaller flat but then the asking cash over valuation is too high and i'm like always fighting like in the stock market - the highest bid got it. Finally settle for a not so fantastic (because low level and not near MRT) same size flat because the cash over value is within my reach. Thought nevermind, at least i'm pepared with a new environment and how big is the country only, it may be a little inconvenient but at least i can have the serene of the surroundings. Thought problem solved - but then next come the housing loan problem. As i'm no longer eligible for the subsidised loan rate, i have to approach the commercial institute instead. Thought with my callibre, it shouldn't be a problem a get a loan, but then to my surprise, even though i'm going to be the sole finance of the property for all the future instalment, but because the house is under 2 names, so whichever party that has a bad credit record, it does affect the application. All the hussle is still going on. I always joke that maybe i have to move under the bridge one of these day - and now it does seems like it's going to be true. Can someone please tell me where's the widest/broadest bridge? But then i really need a permanent proper address inorder to receive someone back. Sigh! so living under the bridge is also beyond my means. And this someone, can you please "jia you"? Can you please be good so as to be able to reunite with me again? Every looking forward have always ended with disappointment. WHY DOESN'T THINGS GO THE WAY I WANT IT TO BE?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796482313411167917.post-46726863355338944362009-07-28T01:02:00.009+08:002009-07-28T01:43:20.117+08:00Have been ponderingHave been pondering:<br /><br /><p>Is the road really brighter at the end of the tunnel?</p><p>Does hard work really always pays off?</p><p>Is it true that if you did not harm anyone and you would be safe from harm?</p><p>Does GOD/SKY really have eyes?</p><br /><p>I think i would not be able to know the answer unless i have really reach the end of life.
