太平湖 Taiping Lake Garden

趁着新年长假和老妈回太平来个两天一夜。太平湖当然是不容错过的咯。自1880年开始这里就成为了公共公园,地宽64公頃,有大概十个大小不一的人工湖/池。有机会来这里一定要走走太平湖,景色绝不输给国外的公园哦。而且这里草地的绿让我想起纽西兰!

Mama & I went back Taiping during this CNY long holiday for a 2D1N stay.  Of course we couldn't miss the famous Taiping Lake Garden!

It become a public garden since 1880, the 64 hectares site has about 10 man-made lake/ponds. The scenery is magnificient and can even beat the overseas garden. The green green grass even reminds me of New Zealand! So yes, if you so happens to be in Taiping, do stroll along the garden!

新年饼之蜜蜂窝 Bee's Home~CNY Cookies

嘿嘿,今年开始打算开个角落给妈妈的食谱,记录记录下,不然很多好吃的咚咚会失传啦!就由新年食谱开始吧!

Hehe, planning starting this year to open a 'mama corner' to record down all her recipe, else a lot of nice dishes will 'gone with the wind'! So, lets start with this Bee's Home!

材料
1)椰浆 3包
2)鸡蛋 16粒
3)粘米粉 2 1/2 包
4)面粉 半包
5)粟米粉 1包
6)幼糖 1包再加少许 (视个人对甜的喜好而定)

必备用具
蜂窝模具

做法
1)把鸡蛋和糖一起放入容器搅拌均匀(鸡蛋不必打至起泡泡,主要是让糖融化)
2)然后加入椰浆,再慢慢加入粘米粉、面粉、粟米粉搅拌均匀--》这就是传说中的“开粉” (我是一次过把所有粉都倒进椰浆蛋液里再慢慢开匀,再用筛过滤一、两次即可)。
注:面糊的浓稠度视个人喜好而定,浓的话成品会比较有嚼劲,也比较快弄完,哈哈哈。
3)放入模,大火把锅和油烧热(蜂窝模具的手柄热了大概就可以开始咯)
4)把蜜蜂窝模浸入面糊,平行至模的顶部水平但不可盖过顶部(千万不要整个模具浸入面糊里,不然就完蛋了,因为成品会甩不出。。。),放入油中,几秒中之后把蜜蜂窝稍微用力甩出(如果浸过龙就甩不出了!),中火炸至金黄色即可。

Materials:
1) Coconut milk 3 packs
2) Eggs x 16
3) Blended rice flour 2 ½ packs
4) Wheat Flour ½ packs (or less than that also can)
5) Corn Starch 1 pack
6) Caster Sugar 1 pack plus (depends on whether you like sweet or not, if like can just add on the sugar volume to your own preferences)

A Must Tool:
Bee Home’s Mold

Method:
1) Blend the caster sugar with the eggs (don’t need to blend too harsh, purpose of this is to make the sugar melt…)
2) Add in the coconut milk into the blended eggs, then slowly add in all the powders and blend it evenly (I just dump in all and blend it slowly, then use the sieve to filter it 1-2 times to make sure the paste is ‘smooth’…)
Note: the thickness of the paste depends on personal preferences also. Thick means more chewy and of course can finish the work faster :P
3) Put in the mould & heat up together with the oil (once you felt the heat on the mould handle, means its ready…)
4) Soak the mould into the paste parallel to the top of the mould (don’t soak in the whole mould in else you can’t ‘swing’ out the ‘bees home’…). Put back the mould with paste into the oil, after few seconds you can ‘swing’ it out and repeat the same steps (if over soak then u will have problem here…). Fried till mild golden colour will do!

这就是我们需要的材料! These are what we need!

“开粉” 至面糊 From 'blending' till paste

记得面糊不得浸过模的顶部,不然就做不成啦
Saw the mould? Make sure after soak into the paste u still able to see the top portion of mould clearly... else, means u gotto clean it and do it all over again before u can have a good bee's home :P

成品!Ta Da! Here comes the bees home! Yum Yum!
后记:哎哟,写食谱还真不容易。。。写英文的更难,都不知道什么是什么。。。真的是见鬼。。。尽人事啦,不然英文部分得删减,哈哈哈。。。
Postscript: Aiseh, really not easy writing recipe leh especially the english portion! Donno what is what, hahaha... hope didn't create much confusion here, hehee...else next time gotto 'sacrifice' the english portion liao :P

You and Me ~ Lifehouse

某天在商场某间店闲逛时偶然听到这首歌,就爱上了那沉沉的嗓子和那幽幽的曲调。。。
Heard this song while I was wondering around in a boutique while waiting for my friend...almost immediate I fall in love with this song and this voice...

The Flowers of War 金陵十三钗

我从来都不喜欢看战争片,尤其是以中国南京为时代背景的。但不知道为什么,就是想看这部戏。个人觉得片子拍的不错,没有故意特大写的去突出日本人的可恨(不过依然煽情),反倒让人深深的记着那一枪一个的兵哥和那十二钗幽幽的嗓子。。。

如果你觉得自己很惨,去看看这部电影吧,你可能会觉得自己的‘惨’是那么的微不足道。可能中学时念中国历史比较多,也曾经到过侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆吧,个人的感受是比较深的。
I never like war movie, especially those take Nanjing as storyline background type. But just donno why I choose to and wanted to watch this movie, eventho I already know it has something to do with Nanjing & those japanese.

Personally I thought this is a good movie, at least it didnt really magnified how sucking & hateful & brutal were those japanese (yet still cruel and sad), and people will remember the ladies and the great soldier...

If you think you are miserable, go try and watch this movie, probably it will make you felt that your 'miserable' is nothing compared to those suffered during the war. Maybe it is just me who had this slightly stronger feeling towards the Nanjing slaughtery (coz last time secondary school studied quite a lot of china history + I went to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invader), but yet, history shouldn't be forget, and is always a good mirror to remind us what had happen and what should have avoid in future....
