Experiences

We had our dinner at Papparich De Garden Ipoh. It was our first time. Since it was Friday, it was not so packed as compared to Sundays. Please hop over to my food blog, Scrumptious to have a look at the food that we had.

My husband bought some large prawns and wanted them to be cooked using this cereal mix but my mum was so reluctant as she hasn't done this before. So since today I was free, I just gave it a quick cook. I haven't done this before too. I quickly deep-fried the prawns until cooked. Then I removed them and drained them.

Mixed them up evenly and in a breeze, I presented you my Crispy Prawn with Cereal! As simple as ABC! Yummy!

To celebrate Chap Goh Meh, we went to the TOS. We wanted to eat at PappaRich but it was too crowded. Furthermore, we were already hungry.

Anyway, it was a good experience! Happy Chap Goh Meh!

Technically it is a fruit because it contains the seeds to reproduce, but typically cucumbers are grouped with veggies due to their use. The fruit is commonly harvested while still green, and eaten as a vegetable, whether raw, cooked, or made into pickled cucumbers. Although less nutritious than most fruit and vegetables, the fresh cucumber is still a very good source of the vitamin C and the mineral molybdenum. It is also a good source of vitamin A, potassium, manganese, folate, dietary fiber and magnesium. What you may not know is that this crisp, refreshing fruit also contains compounds called sterols, which have been shown to lower cholesterol in animals. The heaviest concentration of sterols is in the skin of the cucumber, so you shouldn...
