冬至

We know that glutinous rice ball can be eaten for certain ocassion for the chinese. It is either the "dong zhi" seasons or it was made for the wedding. Today, 21st December 2008 is once again 冬至. For me, who was not around at home have to made 汤圆 myself. It is not hard because I had made it every year since I came over KL to study. It is indeed a nice experience because you learn to be independent and make yourself a warm seasonal day instead of feeling so far away from home.


Apart from Chinese New Year, 冬至 is one the greatest event too. Family will gather around meaning members will be united and union if have been aparted. I am always proud of my own culture because behind every celebration of our festival there is sure some history out of it. This is also a sign of chinese new year that is just around the corner. After eating glutinous rice ball we are one year elder. This is what the elderly told the younger. It was great to have this culture to pass down from one generation to another.




I had mention I made Gltinous Rice Ball myself so I wish to show you all how I make it.
This had taken me days to upload and now early AM I uploading picture which is better than I do on ordinary time. Here we GO!!

1. Ready the Tepung Pulut
2. Roll the flour into dough by adding water slowly. If you want your rice ball to be soft add cool water. If you want them to be bit hard add warm water.

3. Then roll into round shape
4. Cook it after finish rolling
5. When the rica bell float means it is cooked
5. Put it into a bowl of cool water to avoid them to be sticky
6. Next, you have to cook the sweeten soup ( sugar and pandan leaves is a must)
7. Put it into the sweeten soup when it is done and now it is ready to be served!!!

My classmates leaving not far away did make some from me too. And this is new flavor that I had never tried before.
CHOCOLATE



to be eaten with rice ball!!!

A special day indeed this year. Trying new things and having people to satisfy with it!!!

TOUGH

Why do people looks tough when they are actually weak in heart? Why do people pretending to stand alone without no one but actually they need care the most? Why do people trys to look tough from the outside to decrease the possibilities of being bully instead some people actually trying to help with open arms? This is actually a very broad definition out of it. So what position are you in for being tough. Everyone was trying to be tough for lots of things that they are facing nowadays. There are nothing wrong with it to be tough but remember there is still friends out there to lend you their shoulders and be a good listener.

YOU TIAO & JOHN KING TART

YOU TIAO is what we called in Chinese and ' YAO ZA GUAI ' is what Cantonese named it and this food is said to be origin from Cantonese people. This is one of the high demand food in Pavilion. It is simple, non-oily and reasonable in price. Their freshly made Tau Foo Far taste great and it is so smooth and doesn't have much of the bean taste which make people hardly love to eat them..... You Tiao - It is so crispy to eat just like that or you wanted to eat with their plain porridge would also be great because the combination of both makes perfect!!! Porridge - Their porridge is not so hardened or over watery. I guess that's the perfect way to describe. It is just alright and you can hardly see the rice but instead it is little sticky which a porridge should have.... After having that, my friend continuing exploring other food in the section. We go for the tart that had been very popular and keep mentioning by those who had ever had them. The legendary tart, ...

Birthday Present

Birthday just past few days ago and I am so so happy to receive things that is so so unexpected. I never thought of receiving something special but indeed out of expectation. The first pressie is far away from Cambodia. It is a gift from my dear Cynthina . A gift doesn't necessary to be expensive. The heart always counts. The second pressie is so so unexpected that blast me off. It is a gift from ah gor . It is something that I wish to have but I never expect to get it as a gift during my birthday. The lens that come with the digital lomo . There are fish eye, star dust and some others. The digital lomo . The lomo which film not necessary in it. Only memory card needed to be insert, so how convenient it is? You get the lomo effect and at the same time do not need extra time to develop. The only thing is you can't see the picture after you capture.
