新發現!

昨日我在閱讀 LJ 借給Jane的一本書 - '發現大馬" (對了,LJ,你幾時有空要跟我拿回書本呢?)

裡面有好多好美的風景照!不仔細看介紹還以為那是國外的風景呢!就如作者說的,大馬人都忙著到國外欣賞而忘了自己的國家也很美麗~ 前幾天我朋友才從吉隆坡打電話說他明年要到日本旅遊,然後會去澳洲探望他的家人~ 呵呵,跟很多人比起來我雖然到外國​的次數少到可憐但也沒盡力去探索自己的國土~ 慚愧啊~ 

看著看著,我突然在介紹稻米的那篇文章發現了一根稻米。是真的稻米哦!我在想,這是LJ閱讀了這本書後,自己到那里一遊時順手摘的稻米然後夾在書本作為紀念品?還是這是作者送給讀者們的驚喜呢?

美麗的風景 + 作者的感想

稻米書籤!

如果这是作者送的禮物我倒覺得這很有創意~

我在想如果食譜的書本也能附上他们的人氣美食,那該有多好啊!如果有這樣的一本書,我絕對絕對絕對會把書本買下來的!餓了可打開來享用美食,那該有多好啊!呵呵~

附上這個的真實品如何?

流口水~ing

More food to eat.....



Eating big meals is a very normal thing to me. I am even known as the Eating Queen because I go hungry every 1 hour. Maybe I'm still at the growing stage or probably because i have a bigger body and thus i need more food to burn for energy?

One thing for sure, I am trained since young by my mum....

Did u know that beautiful plates/containers and decorative can promote eating? hehe..

Look how pretty my container is! Mum bought this in Aust. Hmm.. don't ask me why. She just loves to spend.

 Beautiful red container cheers me up!




Mum made famous Hakka dish 算盘子 (Little yam balls topped with shredded cuttle fish, minced dried shrimps & minced pork). The product may look simple but trust me, to create this dish, my mum has gone through a long journey. First, she has to peeled the skin of the yams. Then she has to steam them until they become soft. Then she mashes them and adds just the right amount of flour and kneads into a soft but not dry dough. Then she makes into small balls and cooks them in boiling water. Then she rubs some oil  so little yam balls don't stick together. Then she stir-fries the topping separately. Hope i didn't lose anyone along the way :P it's really a complicated process. I have helped mum made these little devils before and i must say, i salute mum for her patience...

Complicate Hakka dish

On top of this BIG portion of  yam balls, she also gave me  6 pieces of Hakka chai kuih, 2 slices of carrot cakes, 2 pieces of pumpkin kuih and some steamed chickpeas and red bean soup as breakfast. Although I eat a lot, this amount of food way way exceeded my normal capacity.  I managed to eat half of the yam balls (super yummy by the way!), the pumpkin kuihs, chickpeas, red bean soup in the morning, gave away the Hakka chai kuih to my colleagues and save the rest for lunch... hahaha.. yeah, i have never felt so defeated before :S 

Yesterday, my mum prepared a big breakfast again (haha, what's new?) .... To save me from describing, please look at the picture below

A picture says a thousand words!

With mum's around, i forget how it feels to be hungry. With mum around, I seriously can forget going on a diet. My priority now is to work on my eating ability for i'm sure there are a lot more challenges to come in the future haha.. The next time u see me, hopefully i have not turned into a hippo. But whatever I shall become, i will always be the nice and adorable Jenn u know of hehehehe....

As i said before, it is a tradition for me to drop a few lines on 1111 every year as this date NOT long ago, 2 adorable twins were born to this world~  

I feel so blessed to receive birthday wishes from family and friends from all over the world! That just shows how FAMOUS we are hehehe...

Crazy Time with my Sis

My sister came back for a short stay 2 months ago (yeah, this post is very long overdue hehe). We went grocery shopping. She bought a lot of local dried noodles to bring back. Mum even cooked noodles with dumplings for us to eat just to show my sis one of the ways to eat them.

u can't see the noodles but i assured
u that they are underneath the mountains 
of dumplings 



It's always fun to have sibling coming home for a visit. Although it can be tiring because we have little time together and so many things to do~ So we try to squeeze many activities in one day.. hmm.. i think this is where i learn my time management skill where we have to first attend to important and urgent item first and leave the not urgent & not important last.. the problem is, everything seems important and urgent! haha...

I took her to the new shopping mall the other night to get nail polish remover. We walked past the game centre and she  suddenly stopped and said "let's go play that". Then we went to buy tokens and started our journey to make our very own stickers! The machine will talk to us and we start to pose differently. 

At first we didn't know where to look, when we finally got the hang of it, it's the end of the session :S Then we moved to the other booth to decorate our pictures. There were sOOoooOooo many frames, messages, accessories, wordings, decorative items etc to choose from and we had to complete it in 2 minutes! My sister was really lost and stood there trying to figure out what to do. Good thing that I play with a lot of photo editing applications on iPhone and had a bit of idea how this thing works and started with photo decorating. As we have many photos to decorate so I told her to hurry up as we are running out of time. So she started doing it while screaming excitedly at the same time. I bet the people standing outside the booth must be wondering what is happening inside. haha..

After that, we moved to the last booth to collect for our stickers. While waiting, we played 'matching the same card game' on the screen like the kind we used to play with REAL cards when we were young. Even with this, my sister can scream with excitement~ haha, it was hilarious~  


Producing our very own stickers


Here is our special sticker. Half for me to keep, half for my sister. She instantly stick it on the back of her mobile phone. I must say, her mobile phone instantly looks stylish :P

Our final product!
