Yuan Xiao Jie~

Time flies, it's already the 15th day of CNY. i had my 4th Yu sheng in 2 weeks during dinner just now. This time there was an overwhelming amount of sliced carrot ya (erh... which is embedded under the mountain of sesame seeds and puffed crackers :p).

Mum prepared a fast and easy one dish meal. All she did was boil a pot of water, stir in a cube of ikan bilis stock, throw in ALL the ingredients, stir gently to mix and let it cook slowly on medium to low heat.
Make a wild guess on the number of ingredients added...

Eh... actually i'm not too sure myself ya~ Hmmm... let's see... there are Green vegetables, carrots, lotus seeds, tofu, minced pork, 1 century egg, enoiki mushrooms, red dates, dried scallops, mock cuttlefish roll, "kia4", spring onions, leek, a tubular root (don't know its actual name), wolfberries (Gou Qi Zi)... that's all... i guess.
Woah~ 15 items in total... keke~

Dark Chocolate Brownie Muffin~

Have been super busy this week but i just couldn't resist trying out this Brownie muffin recipe from Yochana's cake delight. i reduced the sugar by one-third to change it to dark chocolate brownie muffin instead ya.

Waraku~

Waraku restaurant rocs ya! Not only do they serve great tasting and well presented food, the service is good too ya! They have an extensive menu with great looking pictures of every single one of 'em ya. There is even a choice of serving size, mini (if you're not TAT hungry) or regular (for a fuller meal).
~*Tofu salad*~
