McD prosperity burger

Prosperity burger is back!! 

I know CNY is on 23rd January. But hey! It's never too early to be prosperous! ^^

I'll eat prosperity burger at least twice every year! because you can get to eat it for 1 or 2 months before CNY only! I love the black pepper sauce so much to the extend that i'll lick the wrapper after i finish the burger. Sluurrrp~

When should i eat it again?? Tomorrow maybe. v(^_^)V

Merry Xmas!

So lucky to met them in Queensbay mall on boxing day. ^^

Christmas tree

First time seeing a real Xmas tree! Everybody's pinching smelling and touching the real tree as if the notice doesn't exist. haha..


Honestly, I did not pinch nor touch it. The reason is simple, because it's damn expensive!!! A xmas tree which is about the same height as me is selling at RM299. The price ranging from RM 199 to RM499, depending on the height of the tree. 


Who would buy a real tree to put at home? It has some kind of sourly, mild pungent smell. >_< and it won't last till next year. After the xmas is over, what to do with this real tree? how to discard this tree? burn it? Open burning is prohibited in Malaysia.

Anyway, real xmas tree is more beautiful than the artificial one. 

~Merry Christmas ~

How to make colourful tang yuan 汤圆 - healthier version!

Winter solstice is tomorrow!! Just finished helping my mum to make tang yuan. ^^

It brings back all the childhood memory in my grandma's house whenever i see tang yuan. My siblings, cousins and i used to mixed up all the colour and roll it into a huge ball. We loved to compete for "most creative tang yuan" or "biggest tang yuan". Every time it also ended with scolding and shooing off the kitchen by our aunt or grandma. Hahha.. 

I think most people add food colouring to make red and yellow tang yuan. You might not aware of the dangers of food colouring. .Just click the link to read more bout it. So, instead of adding chemicals into tang yuan, why don't add some natural colouring? 

Here's the secret of my mum's healthy tang yuan. :)

Pineapple

Dragon fruit

If you wish to have red colour, add in watermelon juice. Dragon fruit's colour is more to purple.

Pandan leaf

Orange

Oranges do not give rise to orange colour, so if you want orange colour tang yuan, please use carrot or papaya.

plain tang yuan

By adding fruit juice into the glutinous rice flour, it will give some colour to your tang yuan and fruity flavour to it too!
