On the left, you can see the Japanese Dessert with Milk box, and the silver pouch is its contents. It feels watery inside.

Give the Japanese Dessert with Milk a stir until it thickens. It’ll turn gooey.

Here’s how it looks like. I just spooned them into smaller cups and it was all gone in a flash. It’s not overly sweet and Gordon loves it. Malcolm needs some time to get used to it as that fler doesnt really like to eat. Weird baby i have, lol. I have three more of this Japanese Dessert with Milk in different flavors and will make some for him this Saturday.

If you like, you can add your kid’s favorite cereal or cut up some fruits into the Japanese Dessert with Milk before serving. Like the one shown at the back of the box. It’ll make a good breakfast or tea-time snack.

Fruit Che Japanese Dessert with Milk

Hubby told me about this Fruit Che Japanese Dessert with Milk one day and i said we have to buy some back for Gordon to try. He doesnt want to drink his milk lately and we’ve been substituting it with yoghurt and other foods that contains calcium so that he gets lots of calcium in his diet. Hubby didnt buy the Fruit Che Japanese Dessert with Milk back that day as he’s afraid i wont know how to make it as it’s all written in Japanese and Cold Storage was about to close then.

Since we’re there almost everyday after sending our kid to school, i checked it out and bought them in all flavors, lol. Gee, see how colorful they are. Appetising, right. Cant wait to try it out. I’m sure my kids will love it.

Braised claypot tofu with mixed vegetables

My kids love tofu, especially the Japanese tofu that comes in tube form. Cooking it is also fairly easy. Just need a tube or two of this, some seafood like squids and prawns or maybe a few slices of pork or chicken if you like, black Chinese mushrooms, and some vegetables. I used baby corn, carrots, Chinese cabbage and snow peas. I dont go to the market so i just take whatever i can find from the fridge.

Braised claypot tofu with mixed vegetables

Chop some garlic and onions and fry them till fragrant in a claypot. Next into the claypot would be the tofu. Fry it lightly. Next, the meat and mixed vegetables. Add some soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and pepper, and let simmer together with a bowl of water. Prepare some corn flour and mix well with some water, and add to the claypot. This will thicken the gravy and give it more texture. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Best served with a bowl of white rice. Perfect recipe for the lazy cook.

Baby french beans with garlic

I’m more of a vegetable eater than a meat eater. And baby French beans is just one of my favorites. Vegetables dont need long cooking time. Baby French beans are tender and sweet and tastes real good stir-fried with just a dash of salt and sliced garlic.

Baby french beans with garlic

I love garlic too and will use it with nearly every dish that i cook. A simple dish of stir-fried baby French beans with garlic is a great accompaniment with just about any other dishes that you have or on its own.

Ipoh best Hor Hee

It’s undeniable that Ipoh has the best Hor Fun in the world. It’s because Ipoh has good water quality that enabled the food manufacturers to produce such smooth and fine HorFun. And no, i did not cook this Hor Hee. Bought it from Lok Wooi Kui, the corner coffeeshop right opposite Kamdar. I dont know which road it is situated as i dont drive. So, dont have to remember road names, lol.

It has the sweetest soup as the stall owner uses a lot of Tung Choi, a kind of dried, preserved vegetable. Can be bought in small packets from just about any chinese sundry shop or supermarket. All the fish cakes and fish balls you see here are home made and tastes really good. And of cos, MSG helps too, lol. That’s why it’s called Ipoh best Hor Hee.

Dont you just wish you can sink your teeth into this. Delicious to the max. Drop me a comment if you ever come to Ipoh. I’ll treat you to a bowl of Ipoh’s best Hor Hee ever.
