How to make Chinese soup – 青红萝汤

/6 Comments/in , /by

When I moved to Canada, I was lucky that my mom in law taught me to cook some dishes. One of them being a soup – Pork shank with carrot and green radish soup, I know it as 青红萝汤 in Cantonese.

I find this particular soup quite easy to make, just need some time to prepare, and a “space pot” – 太空锅 , I mean a “Thermal Magic Cooker”. XD

I documented most of what I did when I prepared the soup this afternoon, must mention tsunamidelta for poking me for it in the first place — I hope this will help you out if/when you do try to make the soup! ^^

Husband and I had not ate there before, but we saw online many good reviews and praises as well as our friend’s recommendation, so was curious to see what it’s like :D

gunpla and nendoroid

With my husband’s encouragement I got a set of SD gunpla to work on last week (when it’s not so hot lol)

Husband said I should pick the one I like the least to work on first in case of mistake… I picked Gogg as I’m not sure if I like his oddly long arms out of the three, but I must say this little fella grew on me after I snapped him together ^^;

Documenting some food from eating in and out :P I’ll start off with this delicious green tea frappe bliss dessert… omg perfect for summer afternoon :3

The green tea frappe (shaved ice) is yummy and fragrant, red bean is not too sweet, and mochi chewy everything goes well with the scoop of green tea ice cream will definitely have it again if we go :P

Strawberry?

/16 Comments/in , /by

A few years ago I tried some organic strawberries at Wholefoods supermarket in Vancouver, and was shocked/surprised that they were naturally sweet o_o!  The strawberries I ever had in Singapore are imported and are always very sour or tasteless ^^;

Since then I have been trying to catch the strawberry season — which is supposedly the main reason why the strawberries are sweet?  I should have trusted my nose when they don’t smell sweet ^^; Below is from the haul of today ^^; Unfortunately they’re not sweet… lol They look fantastic tho :P

I wonder if I missed the season again? ^^; I hope I am just too early (LOL)

A friend from Singapore was visiting and stayed with us for a little bit :) Thankfully the weather was very cooperative, and we had a nice time hanging out :D

Her stay was rather short so I was also trying to spend time catching up with her since I have not seen her in years!
