de Tong Yuan Day!!!

Well today is the day that, we chinese celebrate "Tong chit" Winter Fastival..

well for my family tradition will be having a nice and warn family dinner together.. usually will we have it at my grandpa house have nice reunion dinner with extended family but since my grandma passing ,this year was abit different we have our own simple dinner at home cause my dad cant eat outside food(very unhealthy & oily) so mom cook simply dinner....
btw it wasn't really a reunion dinner for my family since my lil was in state and dunno where my elder sis went she cant make it for the dinner -.-"

so will back to the main topic

well today main dish will be "tong yuan" (glutinous rice or round dumpling)
is a must to eat this during this fastival...

I believe we all have heard from our mom telling us that we can only eat according to our age... example if i am 23 now i was surpose to eat 23 glutinous rice balls

so when i was young i really wanna be older so that i can eat more haha... but not now when I am all growed up... i can bearly eat more then 10 pcs how sad... haha

so by the end of the day i only eat 10 pcs.. haha

round 1 of tong yuan...

blended peanut with sugar

so this is how I eat my "tong yuan"

i roll my glutinous rice ball into the blended peanut it damn yummy....

I just love the way I eat it... yumm...

so would like to wish every1 to have a happy weekend and also happy tong chit festival.. :P

so people done with your x'mas shopping>?? well I still got a lot to do... so tomorrow gotta really shop for xmas presie...

Jalan jalan Cari makan....

This Friday Raynor teman me for dinner again....

on Friday i woke up about 2( i know i know super lazy pig rite) eh look i sleep around 7 am morning leh...was awaken by my sis call from State just to ask me about some stuff if I want or not....

so then after that try my luck to call my beauty saloon again to make appointment for my facial treatment(it always fully book ,usually have to book 1 week ahead) so i ask them if they can put me in to today, i was really lucky that i got a space coz got customer cancel their appt(phew thank god), that day b4 i called them too but they really can't put me in! i was so lucky :D so happy can go pamper myself....

ok back to makan makan...

btw i facial was at 4pm so then i can plan my day... d
so the plan was to go for facial at 4pm then go pick up Raynor for dinner and cam whore session..

so as plan i meet up with Raynor around 6ish...

in my mind i have 2 plan in mind: -

a) to go curve for out photo shooting session.. then go look for nice restaurant to dine...
b) i bet he never been to NZX (niu ze xui) for photo session and makan too

BTW photo taking session fail coz he didn't charge his DSLR, so didn't bring it out... so next time la...

since the curve ntg much new for me to check out ady so i pick to bring him to NZX...
so we when around to check out some deco and i bring him around like tour guide to show him those restaurant that i want to try out next time...

and we couldn't decide where to eat.. wanted to try out this" full house cafe" long ago but every time tak jadi 1... to this time wanted to try so plan to go some where else to have some hot soup then come back for yum cha session...

full house cafe always wanted to try out but till now still tak jadi... -.-"Love the deco there i look like every section of the cafe also can cam whore

Tak jadi to try out this cause we both ended up having steamboat at HOt HOT Steamboat (Sichuan style steamboat)

since i put the name card there you can call for reservation.. haha

even till we sit down we both still dunno for at night this restaurant don't serve al-carte order d and it all you can eat buffet style steamboat -.-" this is the reason why we bout cant go for second round at full house... so never mind save it for next time....



this is my choice of soup.. sichuan style(mah latt fou wal) it supposed to be super spicy soup.. plus the waitress double confirm with me it super hot & spicy "you sure you want" i said " yes pls"

manatau when i taste the soup it not that spicy as i tot... -.-" maybe is super spicy for some people la... i find it very pepper-ish... instead...

this his choice of soup.. surprisingly he didn't order hot soup -.-" that is what he usually choose but he end up with clear soup.. i wonder why.. this make me think that he super hot soup i was supposed to be sure hot as well hr said he try it in Bugis , S'pore..

so as you know this is all you-can-eat buffet steamboat so we for sure will eat like mad...


so round 1

this is his round 1....

start out wit lil by lil...

this is my round 1..
I so love scallop Haha.. it all i can eat scallop... yeah!!!

The best this about this steamboat restaurant is.. they have verity of Source or dips to choose from...

I love this Peanut cream source it very spacial...

My round 2...

love those slice meet... it damn nice...

My round3
this round i tried this carry fill ball it damn special ...
i mean the taste is nice can rarely get it in the market...
and do you realize that every round for sure I'll take scallop and slice meet it just damn nice... i love those....
and this round i took corn just to make the soup taste better .... that all i can eat...

till the 3round in my mind only got "dessert dessert & dessert"
so i beh tahan d... but Raynor said no must at least eat 1 more round so the last round i just simply take alil.. haha


i think Raynor end wit 4-5 round haha..


so by the end of the night i end up eating so many scallop... crazy...

i think this is the 1st time of my life eating so many scallop in 1 night...

so finally i end my buffet session with I.c.e-C.r.e.a.m yeah...

i choose

Yam,Vanilla & blueberry+vanilla
we left NZX about 10pm but we feel that still abit early so...

we ended up dropping by Murni for a short yum cha session...

that we call off the night....

next jalan jalan cari makan will we at JogoYA Next Friday.. OMG...as promise to go eat at jogoya for like god know when long ago, but till now only we take action ..-.-"

so that all for now next up JOgoYA...

Bird nest session...

I had like this dry cough since 3weeks ago which is killing me...couldn't sleep every night cause of the cough...

I had the same kinda cough like 2 years ago which lasted 2month then only fully recoved...

I tried all kinda of cough medication also don't work so... it only cure when my mom cook bird nest soup for me... i drink 2 round of the bird nest soup it totally cure....

so this time round is the same since i have seen the doc and also ate medication but still the same so... my mom have to cook bird nest soup for moi again.. how weird my cough need to be cure by bird nest soup haha...

such an expensive sickness....

so today mom and dad went out and bought this back home....

.

.

.

.

.

.

they bought like whole bag of bird nest home...

the nest before any cleaning process..

really raw & full nest...

so we need to do the cleaning process before we can cook it..

the cleaning process.....

1st we have to soak in da water for at least an hour ...

so that it will be spread out and soften...
which make the cleaning process easier...after it soften...
my mom start to do the cleaning d...

i help her with it...

need to pick up every single piece of lil fur & dirt from it..

need to use a few bowl for the cleaning process...

from the 1st one to the 2nd bowl clean it a few round...

round3-4

so finally can see crystal clear bird nest...

have to totally clean it in da water if not you won't able to see the micro mini fur...

this is the end result of the crystal clear bird nest..

it ready to be cook..
so.. it time to cook it...




firstly the ingredient that you need is:-

-sugarcane sugar

-water

-slow cooker or pressure cooker

and last but not least

-Bird nest

the sugarcane sugar..."Bing tang"

you all need a slow cooker or pressure cooker...

just put in the amount of sugar to taste...

just boil in da pressure cooker for only 30 minute...

and

"tadah"

.

.

.

my bird nest is ready to be eaten....

wow.. look at the freshly cook bird nest...

emmm yum yum...

look at the nest...not small bit & pieces lei.. is damn full and thick...

so today I'll drink a bowl then tomorrow I'll drink another hopefully my cough will be cure soon...

btw Mr. HO my cough is from you,so my mom ask u to come to my house to have a bowl...cause she cook extra....

so that all for my bird nest cooking session..

Oh by the way Ven bee no worries we have a lot more bird nest so... when you come back from

Preparation for da sushi Party...

I just came back from Lynda's place...
she organize a sushi party @ her new place since she have moved i have never drop be her new place b4 so as per request she make it happen that we all gather at her house for the ultimate sushi party...(we all have own list of what to bring there)
so i took over zia's list cause she can't make it there ... coz she just fly off to Melbourne for Zia wen graduation...

so my list is to bring:-
Shishamo( grilled pregnant fish)
Tamago(wrap sweet egg)
Inari skin(tofu pouch)

so i went for grocery shopping yesterday night with Raynor...
coz he ajak me out for dinner so i paksa him to teman me to tesco for my grocery shopping..:P

i was lucky to found Shishamo from tesco.... i didn't expect to find it from there...
i wanted to go tesco coz i know i could get inari from tesco....
so and bought 1 whole tray of eggs just to make tamago :P
and i did help my mom to do some grocery shopping too...

i have google some recipe from the net to make tamago it real easy..
so as i reach home i start to cook tamago...
cause i know the next day i wont have time to prepare it then put it in da fridge...

i have to cook it layer by layer then roll it up then cut into small slice and "ta dah" there go my tamago... as simple as that....

"ta dah"

My home make TAMAGO

all pack ready to put in fridge... need to chill it..

so today i need to cook the shishamo (grilled pregnant fish)

today i went to 1Utama just to go jesco to get "Japanese sweet soy sauce"(kikkoman soy sauce)

but too dah i could geh it.. i ended up watching "bolt" haha i such a cute movie..i mean the character"Rhino" is soso cute...

soso back to shishamo...

since i could geh sweet soy source so i make my own 1...

didn't expect that i could make such yummilicious sauce... end result of da source...

after done with the source i have to deal with the fishy...

of coz de-frost the fish 1st...

then poke a satay stick through into da fish so that it easier for you to grill and also easier to eat .

done poking all da fishy...

need to dry the fish before you grill them...

so this is how it look like when i grill it with da sweet source that i prepare earlier.

so this is the end product of my shishamo... is ready to be eaten with the source...
btw my sauce can be use 2 way.. for cooking and also to dip... :P

so i got everything done and pack up by 8pm...

this is how i pack my fishy....& ready to go...
my tamago ,inari at lynda's place..

and by the way the shishamo is all gone by the end of da night :P

i didn't take picture from the sushi party cause we were all busy eating hehe...

that all for now :P

nite nite..
