Moonlight Almond Tea

My fav.. Yummy! Recently I got addicted to this weird taste. Believe it or not, previously I would vomit when smell this, or even tasted one mouth of this weird drink. But now, it is a must whenever I go any Hong Kong Cha Can Ting. Weird weird..

For beginners, I would suggest you to start with drinking the pure almond tea, without adding extra egg or egg white. As for now, I love Almond with egg white the most!

Chong Qing Chicken Hot Pot, Kuchai Lama

重庆鸡公煲

Restaurant Chong Qing Chicken Hot Pot at Kuchai Lama. The menu is designed in simple way, you can only choose either- Chicken, Ribs, Beef, Fish or Prawn, with fixed cooking style. The hot pot is served under fire, to keep the food warm all the time. I couldn't stop thinking of the special taste, the combination of all the herbs and chili used, is just nice and makes it great! We ordered 1 pot of Ribs Hot Pot, which tasted nice, and another Prawn Hot Pot, which tasted superb! You can choose the level of spiciness- slightly spicy, medium spicy and super spicy. For me, i think all tasted the same.. =p
What i can say, if you like spicy, you will love this so much!

Champagne Grape

Champagne Grape is not very common in Malaysia. The super small size of this grape grabbed my attention, hence i bought it. It's a type of small (around same size as black currant), super sour, seedless grape in a bunch.

So what this small fruit is all about?

"Champagne grapes, aka Black Corinth grapes, are, in fact, the smallest variety of all seedless grapes. Black Corinth grapes are not the exclusive champagne grape, there are red and green varieties as well, though very uncommon. Corinth grapes are one of the very few Parthenocarpic type of grapes in production - Parthenocarpic grapes have absolutely no seed development at all, compared to other seedless varieties, which develop seeds and eventually the seeds naturally abort."

"Champagne grapes are the individual pearl-sized fragile skinned fruits, aka the berries, of the seedless grape variety, Black Corinth. When eaten fresh, they are known as a table grape. In dried form the champagne grape is transformed into a raisin, in which they are known as the Zante currant, or dried currant."
~ taken from Specialtyproduce.com.

"Champagne grapes are ubiquitously utilized for garnishing champagne flutes and decorating desserts and cheese trays. The grapes can also be used in many other forms, added to pastries, such as scones, muffins and cakes. Like many other fruits, champagne grapes make a great addition to fruit cereals, granola and yogurt. They can also be cooked and reduced down into a jelly, added to sauces for savory pairings with lamb, game and pork. In dried currant form the Champagne grapes can also be added to pastries as well as couscous, rice, fruit and green salads and paired equally with aged and fresh cheeses alongside charcuterie meats."

Now we know what to make with champagne grape, lets try with pastry, or cooking with meat, and even make cheese cake!
100gram  of Champagne Grape is sold around RM6 to RM8. A small bunch of Champagne Grape is definitely more than 100gram.

My mother likes white Tulip. Quietly, she always look at my photos of Netherlands with Tulip. But how can i get her a Tulip from Netherlands? It's really a mission impossible for me. But now, here is the chance.. =)

Why Tulip for mothers?


Lets see what different color of Tulip means:

Red Tulip-      Declaration of love/ True Love
Pink Tulip-     Caring
Purple Tulip-  Royalty
Yellow Tulip- (originally hopeless love but changed) Cheerful thoughts and sunshine; 
                       "There's sunshine in your smile"
White Tulip-   Forgiveness
Orange Tulip- Warmth, happiness, fascination, energy, desire and passion

Other interesting colors such as:
Violet-          Faithfulness
Yarrow-       Good health
Zinna-          Thoughts of friends

A tulip bouquet represents elegance and grace.

So why a simple yet meaningful Tulip for my mother? The above symbolism of Tulip can definitely answer this question.
