Balanced

Today I cooked a balanced meal for lunch.

1. mixed vegetables


blanched them


garnished them


2. Chinese sausages (lap cheong)


steamed them


3. steamed fish

our all-time favorite dish


We wanted to go for a movie at Jusco but it was so packed so we ended up buying a few DVDs and two recipe books. Then we stopped by Black Canyon Coffee. I had iced blended mocha coffee. I was influenced by Tekkaus who mentioned about white coffee this morning.

Later, before we left, I bought some sushi for my son who didn't go with us.


I was supposed to cook for dinner but fortunately, my husband announced that he had booked a place for dinner. We waited one whole hour at the restaurant before our food came. Our stomachs were already growling...

Only one specialty here that was the steamed prawns.

Very fleshy and delicious!

I love prawns very much!

    Mixed veggies are great, esp. when steamed prawns and sausages are served!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
