Chrysanthemum with Wolfberry and Red Dates Drink

My dad was having an eyes operation yesterday and my sis in law has told us to prepare this drink for my dad but without Red Dates. I gave it a try with additional red dates and it taste so good and of course with added some sugar in it.

According to my sister in law this drink especially wolfberry is good for the eyes. I did several research online and found out that this drink is really good to treat those with blurred vision and it help to improve the eye sight. Since I am spending my day time at work with most of the time infront of the PC and at night time I am spending the time with my cross stitch. Thus I can see that I need this drink BADLY.

Despite taking this drink regularly but there are few things I have to look out for as the chrysanthemum has its cold effect and those that can easily has the cold sweat sensation and for those that down with flu, fever, flame and diarrhea are not encourage to take this drink at all.



All you have to do to get this drink is put few of the chrysanthemum flower into a cup with wolfberry and red dates and pour hot boiling water in it and steep for 5mins. If you prefer to have some sweetness in this drink you may add in some sugar and if you want it to be in natural way just skip the sugar.

Pork Ribs with Ginger & Garlic (Pai Kut Soup)

Two weeks ago when I went for breakfast with my family we dropped by JAWI while on our way back to me hometown my dad has ordered this soup Pork Ribs with Ginger & Garlic. The taste is almost same with bak kut teh and the I love it so much. Coincidentally today I have the urge to make this soup and I asked mom how to cook this soup. The results is VOILA! The picture will be post later.


This is the one I had at Jawi, Restorant Soon Lee

They served famous chai kuih as well. I will post up more interesting picture about this kopitiam ^_^

15-10-2011 Deep Fried Tofu 'Pok' with meat filling

This is my first attempt in making this dish. All I added in the meat was chopped spring onions & chinese mushroom. This time the tofu 'pok' i got from the market is smaller in size. I should buy the tofu 'pok' from TESCO as the size is bigger and it's easy to put in the filling.


Not to forget to add some mayonnaise on top the fried tofu 'pok'.

Szechuan Hot & Spicy Soup

My fave soup Szechuan Hot & Spicy Soup. This time I've added a lot of ingredients in it. Delicious! I saw many online recipe where they added egg in it but I don't really fancy having beaten egg in it. So here's my version of szechuan hot and spicy soup.

Hello

Not much cooking lately as everyday HE finished work late and I ended up buying my own food.

I wanted to make this snack food called 'sushi bread' which I saw in one my friend posting in FB. I plan not to have any seaweed on as this is the first time I am doing it. All I wanted to do it just start off with only the bread and the filling. I have not get all the ingredients yet but I am going to buy it tomorrow. As what I saw from my friend's posting they don't add any vege / cucumber but I am going to add in japanese cucumber. They used the chicken fillet is the filling but I am replacing it with hotdog / crabstick / fried egg. Shall see what is the results after I tried on it this weekend. I will post the picture here when I am successful ^_^
