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!

my Fitline car http://www.pm-international.com.my Health is one of our most valuable commodities - this is clearly indicated by the huge growth in the market for nutritional supplements during the last few years.

However,only 5% of nutritional supplements are produced according to it - the FitLine® products are among them. Beyond this quality standard, we have developed our own standards t...
