Veron: Bak Chang Festival

I am all so excited not because of the World Cup but I get to learn how to make Bak Chang from my mom-in-law this year. It is a skill that my mom did not manage to inherit from my late grandma and that is why I feel I need to continue this tradition. Let's check out the fillings...


The main actress - mung beans & stir fried glutonious rice


Salted Duck Eggs


Red-Cooked Pork


Dried Shrimp


Chinese Black Mushrooms


Chestnuts


Fried Sliced Garlic


Fried Shallots




Production Section

Choose a nice bamboo leaf.


Wipe it dry with a piece of cloth.


Fold the leaves into a cone shape.


Scoop some glutunios rice into the cone.


Fill up with fried shallot, fried garlic, dried shrimps...


...mushrooms, salted egg & pork.


Cover up the filling with some glutunious rice.

Wrap it up (yes, this does require some skills..)


Tie the whole package with a string.


Voila! I manage to make a bunch.


Well, it is not my Sifu who will determine whether my Bak Chang passes the test...


..it will be this big pot of water. If the filling comes out, means I seriously need to improve my skills.

This Bak Chang festival is also dedicated to all the men out there, who do not have a decent meal during the World Cup event. (Buttock glued to the sofa, eyes glued to the TV set and mouth filled with Bak Chang...)

Tzyy Anne: Doraemon Slippers

Mummy saw this cute bedroom slippers in Times Square and decided to get a pair with Doraemon on it. (Yes, Anne is all hyped up with this Japanese cutie without fingers...). Anne likes it so much that she wished Mummy would allow her to wear it to sleep.

Thanks Mummy!

Veron: Donut + Sushi = Donushi

9/6/2010 - I saw this ad by Big Apple Donuts which captured my attention. Donuts in the shapes of sushis! They have 28 varieties. I bought the big box with consists of 28 pieces, so it was all different flavors. I would not recommend this to those who do not have a sweet tooth as they are actually mushkins with chocolate sauce or jam stuffings. It also comes with a small container of chocolate sauce. What a sin!

Perfect Dessert

Like Salmon Roe?

Veron: Gastronomic Experience in Berkeley

4/6/2010 - Hubby drove Esther's new Forte and headed to Kota Kemuning to pick up Khoo. We went to Restoran Bubur Goreng in Berkeley, Klang for a munch. I guess it is supposed to be supper rather than dinner as when we reached there, it was already 9pm. Khoo called the 'Ah Pek' to make sure our seafood is still being reserved. The speciality of the food here is of course, the transexual crab or most popular known in local jargon as 'pondan' crab. There was not many people who at the restaurant when we arrived. Well, it was way past dinner time. However, we found that Klang-nites likes heavy supper when 30 minutes later, they swarmed the restaurant. Check out what we had ordered...



Famous Bubur Goreng - Porridge With Strips of Dried Cuttlefish, Pieces of Fried Fatty Pork, Spring Onions, Dried Shrimps & The Brownish Color (looks like marmite but tasted even better!)

Steamed Mantis Prawn (Lai Liu Har) In Egg With Fried Shallots

Clams Cooked With Chinese Wine + Ginger + Cili Padi In Broth

Crab Quote: "Once you go pondan, you will never opt for the straights again..."


Aftermath...(note, we ordered stir-fry vermicelli. Disappointed, it was tasteless)

Veron: Hubby's Friend Wedding

28/5/2010 - We attended Soo Yee's wedding in Sentul. Soo Yee is Hubby's primary schoolmate and has been keeping in touch ever since. It was astonishing to know that he and his wife has been romantically involved since Form 2 (secondary education). The wedding was held in a school hall. Knowing it is a school hall, no one could imagine that the hall has been transformed to a Cinderella ballroom. The stage special effects was superb, with balls of fire that came out in the specific events during the dinner.

Veron: H1N1 Jab For Chin Family

27/5/2010 - My mom-in-law is giving everyone the jab of the century to our immediate family members (she used to be a staff nurse). Of course for those who already had theirs (me and Tsien already had, thanks to our generous employer), we stood there to watch and reminiscent the pricky moments that we had.
