Egg Wrap Rice

Although I had a lot of variety of cookbooks in my collection but sometime I am really too lazy to follow all the steps to whip up a meal. Just like today I decided to make something simple and delicious which called the "Egg Wrap Rice". You can wrap any kind of rice in it for eg: Curry Rice, Fried Rice or even just Plain Ric.

Here what I did is to wrap some rice and some stir-fry minced pork with onion and mushroom then serve with some tomatoes and cucumber salad.

Chocolate Chips Almond Cookies

Very tempting to try out this "so call" Famous Amos Cookies from M4M website. Thanks to one of the members who shared his recipe with clear steps on making this wonder cookies. The ingredients are rather straight forward and you need some grated Gula Melaka which one of the key ingredients. Besides that I replace chocolate chip and nuts with 1 whole block of Cadbury Almond Chocolate as I have run out of chocolate chip and I can't find Macadamia nuts around.

When you first taste this soup, it will taste some how like you are drinking red bean soup. Because they do have the similar taste due to the dried tangerine peel and lily bubs. This soup helps to promote circulation of Qi, expel septum and aids digestion. The sweet and bitter almonds also clears the heat, moistens internal dryness and avoids coughing. It is a very good sweet soup to consume before or after dinner to smooth your throat. Do consider and give it a try.

Being wanting to cook this soup for quite sometime but since it was difficult to get hold of the fresh Sea Coconut I postpone it till now. From what I have read from books, Sea Coconut can expels sputum, heals coughing, reduces night-time urination as well as nourishes the lungs and skin. Furthermore it makes a refreshing, fragrant soup together with red dates and chicken.

Three Treasure Seafood Pot

Three Treasure Seafood Pot is similar to those 一品锅 that which usually found at the coffee shop 煮抄摊 where they have variety of seafood such as: prawn, squid, mussels, scallop, fish and mix vegetables. This version that I made consists of three seafood which are prawn, squid and fish fillet and the total ingredients including veggie is only about $8.00. Definitely much cheaper when comparing to those sold outside.
