Well, my siblings, nephews and neice are still here. My brother in law is cooking now for the lot of us. Although my mom had done most of the cooking in the day, he is just making some of his specialities.
For the last three years in a row, my house would have something happen with […]

Dried Orange Skin

28 Jan 2006 - Under General By Mandrake

My mom was trying to cook steamed chicken for lunch and she was calling her friend for advise. After hearing the ingredients that she would put inside, I asked her to put some orange skin if possible for that slight tinge of orange flavour. I mean what could go wrong right?
Too bad we didn’t had […]

Chinese New Year Goodies

28 Jan 2006 - Under General By Mandrake

My mom’s side of the family came from a line of people with culinary skills.
My mom told me that my grandfather learnt from his neighbour in his village ways of making certain pastries right after World War 2. My mom was born in the mist of the war in the village. She told me […]

Pepper

28 Jan 2006 - Under Food, General By Mandrake

Today, for one of the reunion dinner conversation topics, we talked about pepper.
Whenever my mom goes back to Kuching to visit relatives, she would buy back some pepper. Sarawak pepper is one of the best in the world. Those that I bought over in Singapore has a faint peppery smell, whereas those from my […]

Look at me!

Chengdu

24 Jan 2006 - Under General By Mandrake

Went to this resort city of the Qing Emperor a few years ago during winter/spring time. Was pretty cold and I love it.

This was modelled after the Tibetian Lak Sa Temple. Its supposed to be bigger than the original as the emperor wanted the monks to stay here. They did moved over but now […]

A friend captured this picture at the junction of a traffic crossing near Balestier Road.

It shows a girl in her nighties leaning forward asking whether you are lonely. If you are, then call her at her number.

My dinner partner was saying that if a guy asked for a second chance, […]
