Happy Winter Solstice

I decided to hold a Christmas gathering at ChangJiang. So I called up my ex staff, Saras if she could cook for us. She was kind enough to oblige and ChangJiang sponsored the rest.

nasi minyak
coleslaw
chicken rendang

Well, the boss was not in the picture as he had a meeting to attend.
The shop was closed earlier at 1pm so that we could eat peacefully.
Thus everyone enjoyed themselves!


My first time in making the glutinous rice balls. Check this out..


Ok..glutinous rice balls making for this year..
Instead of the usual colorings, I used the cocoa powder and the green tea powder.
Came out as expected..
Chewy my favorite!

Happy Winter Solstice
and 
Merry Christmas too!

Twin bananas

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..
