Big bright sun , sad that i can't go to the beach because of school class .

Peaceful moon night , remind me of a song " Bella Luna " by Jason Mraz.

Dined in a Swiss restaurant for my friend's birthday ,

is fantastically soft and creamy . A night stuffed with cheese , fondue,
breads and potatos ...

Made this pudding on Sunday ,
the silky smooth texture and rice in coconut flavor
make me craving for more ...

Coconut Pudding
--------------------
Ingredients :

14 g ( 2.5 tbsp ) Gelatin powder
200 ml very hot water
400 ml premium coconut milk
100 ml evaporated milk)
Sugar 40g ( original recipe used 60g rock sugar )
Some shredded coconut ( Optional )

Methods :

1.) Dissolve the sugar into 100ml hot water. Mix it with the coconut milk and milk.
2.) Dissolve the gelatin into 100 ml very hot water. Mix it patiently until totally
dissolved. Pour it into the coconut mixture prepared in step 1.
3.) Add the coconut mixture evenly into each jelly cup or the container.
Freeze it in the fridge (not freezer) for 3 hours. Spray some shredded coconut if want.
Enjoy ~

Notes and Tips :

1.) Gelatin is not easy to be dissolved . The water must be hot enough ,
better to filter it before pour them into the coconut mixture .
2.) The sweetness will be less after freezing in the fridge. Can add more sugar if needed .
3.) Rock sugar can be replaced by 3/4 cup of sugar .

Makign this and that ...

Craved for " sugar " last night and because of the foggy sticky
weather , i really want something sweety to make myself feels better .
i was supposed to make myself coconut pudding however

but only dark chocolate and biscuits ...

So i changed my mind and attempted to make
" salami de chocolate " again .

it was fantastic and i had few seconds felt like in heaven ...

Asian cuisines .

EP
===

After back from Portugal , I became someone’s chef fon Asian cuisines ,
Asian cuisines including : Chinese / Japanese / Thai / Vietnam / Indonesia etc …
To give myself some more inspirations on what to cook next time ,
I bought a book about “ Asian Cuisines “ by “ Australia Weekly “ ,
it cost not much since the bookstore is now having a clearance sales ,

I was attracted by the beautiful photos of the dishes inside this book also
the size of the book since it is very thin and light , easy to carry .
The most important thing is that all the recipes in this book are simple ,
easy to prepare and using common ingredients .

My mum made dumplings again on Sunday morning top with some “ Won Pak “
( the yellow Chinese cabbage ) .
Taste fantastic !
Her dumplings are always perfect , better than mine ….

Let's have breakfast ... together .

EP
===

Last night ...
Had a little chatting with my dear Boss on the topic of " yoghurt " .
After that ,
i insisted myself to have a great BIG breakfast this morning ,
in a cafe .

i am a big fans of homemade raisins scone ,
Simple but tasty .
Specially like the " rose strawberry jam " in this cafe .

The YOGHURT was fantastic , Blueberry jam with oatmeal .
This kinda yoghurt only sells in cafe ,
i mean .... with jam at the bottom of the yoghurt cup , you
have to stir it well before you eat .

When i was eating the breakfast , i was thinking my BOSS .
Missing those times we had breakfast together ,
Missing the coffee he make ,
Missing the smell of milkshake from the kitchen ,
.....

This moment also reminded me an article which i read lately about
" The importance of meal time with family " .
Most people / family / couples etc nowadays do not have time
having meal together .
Busying on works , Busying on garthering with friends , Busying on study etc .
Which lead to the lack of communication in between each others .

Well .... personally i don't like to have " lonely meal " .
Unfortunately i have to ... most of the time .
And ...
That's why i was very impressed when i was with BOSS in April ,
having Easter lunch with his family and relatives .
as well as ..
the other days , the meal times with his family .

..............

Wondering anyone want to have breakfast with me tomorrow ?!
