Machee


A good friend bought some machee for my kids the other day. It’s pandan flavored glutinous rice balls with ground peanuts and gula melaka filling, coated with flour. My Mom used to buy me Machee from the wet market when i was a kid. Seeing these Machee brings back fond memories of my childhood. Ever had Machee before?

Tong Sui Kai At Church Street, Ipoh

Tong Sui Kai opposite Sam Tet School Ipoh

Dear all, my kid’s school is just right across the street where there are lots of stalls selling yummy hawker food. It’s the famous Ipoh Tong Sui Kai at Church Street. So, if i were to go there and wait for him early, i may end up tucking into those neverending chee cheong fun, ngau lam meen, tong sui, wantan meen, curry meen etc. Abuthen, i have exceptionally good self control and will not eat unless i’m about to die of starvation :p. I ate quite a lot on the first week there. It’s only the second week into my new routine and i sure wont want to end up looking like 85% of the silais there.

Stall #41 at Tong Sui Kai opposite Sam Tet School Ipoh

Yesterday, i was there early and managed to get a parking space near the front. A lot of parents sit at the stalls whilst waiting for their kids. After hanging around the place for a week, i’ve met quite a few familiar faces and we sit and chat together. Great way to kill time if you have nothing else to do. Aiya, almost all silais also free by then lah. I’m still trying to figure out when’s the best time to start my journey to the school. I can tell you, the narrow street jams up pretty fast even you are late by a mere five minutes.

Fruits and Nuts dessert

I noticed that the silais there all have one common topic of interest. And that is how to lose weight fast. I was there waiting and chatting with them for about an hour, and the whole conversation was about laxatives, diet pills, slimming teas and such. Their weightloss methods doesnt involve regular exercise, moderate food intake nor a good dieting plan. The funny thing is, as they talked, they were stuffing their faces non-stop with those fattening foods. OMG…. how to lose weight fast lidat larrrr.

Cheong Kee Beef Noodles - Ipoh

Weightloss and weight control isnt about losing all the fat overnight. You did not gain it all in one day. So how do you expect to lose it all just by drinking those slimming teas and popping diet or weightloss pills lehh, haimai. It’s all about moderate food intake coupled with a regular exercise program. Ok, most of you will argue that you dont have the time to exercise. Well, neither do i. I choose what i put into my system carefully and avoid foods that are fattening and artery clogging.

Cheong Kee Beef Noodles

Lowering the Carbs and Protein, and adding more fibre to my diet seems to help. Moreover, with lots fibre-rich foods, you lower your risk of getting constipation too. I still eat rice lah of course, but i choose mixed grains over fattening plain white rice. Makes a lot of difference. As for meat, i take lots of fish as my family is in the seafood business (dun jeles larrr). I leave the heavy meat eating part when dining out with friends. Think curry mutton, lemon chicken, steak, etc. I have to enjoy myself once in a while, ok.

So, if you happen to be a parent with kids going to Sam Tet school for afternoon session, chances are i may be the silai you chatted with before. Damn, with all the pics here, they just make me wanna go eat another bowl of Ngau Lam Meen afterwards, lol. I have lots more in my phone, but i’ll leave them for another post on another day. Drool over these for the time being. So, who wanna join me there later?

Fruits Dessert

This was what my friend, Pat, ordered when she came over to join me at the Tong Sui stalls across the road from my kid’s school. It’s a huge bowl of mixed fruits with peanuts and ice-cream. I helped her eat some. Oh, that’s after i’ve had a bowl of Ngau Lam Meen and Ching Pou Leong, lol. Dunno whom to blame now for all the extra pounds at all the wrong places.

Now, stop staring at the delicious fruits dessert. Let’s watch The Season Of Fate instead. This is a new drama series. Hope you all enjoy watching The Season Of Fate together with me, ya. Follow me on Twitter for updates and access. Have fun!!

Beef Rolled With Enoki Mushrooms

Beef rolled with enoki mushrooms

I ordered this dish when i went to the new Cafe Takahashi, which serves Japanese food, at Kinta City. It looked good on their menu. It’s strips of beef with enoki mushrooms inside, with some cheese sauce over it. I sprinkled some red chilli pepper on it when i snapped this pic. It tasted fine, but the beef texture had me returning it to the kitchen. It’s so tough that i cant even chew it properly. I spoke to the waitress politely explaining why i had to return it. She was very nice and took it back to the kitchen. I did not order anything else as i’ve lost the mood already. I only ate what hubby ordered. Nice pic, eh.

Oh, forget about the dish and let’s focus on this new drama series instead. It’s Beyond The Realm Of Conscience. Why those Honkie flers named it so long is really beyond me. I just hope i wont waste my time watching Beyond The Realm Of Conscience online. You can come join me for the daily episode roundups here if you like. Enter your password to enter below.

Malcolm’s Banana Yogurt Is Ready

This is the banana yogurt i made last night. What a lovely color. I just placed the whole tub into the fridge. Hope to chill it before giving some to Malcolm. He wont be going to school today.

I’ll make sure he eats some yogurt every now and then. Hope he likes the banana yogurt i made specially for him. Gordon also likes yogurt and of cos, he can share some of it.

You can read an old post here on how to make homemade yogurt using a yogurt maker. It’s not difficult and only takes about ten minutes. Really really easy and beneficial to your health.

If you dont have a yogurt maker, then check these out. Every household will benefit from any of these yogurt makers. Some can even be used to make sorbet and ice-creams too.
