A Chinese Delicacy - DIY Style

This was supposed to be posted probably 6 months back ago, few days prior to the year of Ox (aka Chinese New Year 2009). 

Anyways, it's food-related, who cares? Haha! We came up with the idea of doing Chicken Floss Fried Wantons ala homemade style, instead of buying it from outside. Recession and tough times ahead mah... what to do? 

A small-size container of these fried wantons would probably cost you about RM20 to 25 out there nowadays. Plus, some sellers would usually give little stuffings (either chicken or pork floss) inside. Things nowadays definitely are integrating the "Pay More, Get Less" practice. Damn buggers!

The ingredients prepared by us were chicken floss, frozen wanton skin (small pieces), a few eggs (stirred) and tons of patience. Know where to get these, right?

Place a handful of floss onto the wanton skin. Next, start rolling and wrapping them. Finally, patch any opening with the beaten egg to prevent any leaks of the floss during the frying session. Firstly, hand wash required though, very important

The essence of this DIY project are... to stuff, roll, wrap and patch the wantons. Then take a breather. Repeat all these steps until you're done. This stage can be tiring, so get a partner (better if you've got a few to help out) to accelerate things up 

Here's Dear cooking the 1st batch of wrapped wantons

Fry these awesome babies till they turned golden brown, for around a couple of mins... I think

Even an Iron Chef was flew in from Japan specially to cook this delicacy. He declined his name and identity to be posted here though

Viola! Homemade delicious snacks... beats buying from outside. And taste much better yo!

That's all for now I guess. Still trying to sort out some pics for upcoming post. So people, take good care and we will try to blog regularly if possible!

Gosh, time realy flies fast I'd say. 

It's back to Monday blues on work after a long 3-days off. 

The Lee Hom live concert in Malaysia last week was quite entertaining, even though I couldn't understand most of the songs' meaning but thankfully he sang some of popular tunes. Anyways, it's worth watching... well since he's someone's favourite idol. Thanks again for tix, dear!

Amount of work task and responsibility are gradually growing day by day. Currently, I'm still busy with the closing of May's magazine alongside with the rest of my colleagues. God, wish I've more time (as in days) to service to my clients throughout the entire day man.

Just got to know that Feebz will be away to Taiwan for an expo for almost a week! That's sad for me, but deep inside I'm feeling very happy for her as she can travel to Taiwan at the same time show her China-man bosses there on how good she can perform in her work. Good job and make sure enjoy what you are doing currently.

Back to work, cant wait to leave office though.

Batu Caving Session

Ah at last, updates from us, something interesting to share with you guys.

Last month, we paid a visit to the Batu Caves Temple in Gombak, together with Feebz's cousin and her bro on a shooting session. This is the pligrimage site where our yearly Thaipusam festival is held for our Hindu brothers and many Hindu visitors worldwide.

The sun was scorching hot and it was a humid noon, but our passion (not me, me not good enough lol) in photography was hotter. Thus we stayed there for quite some time exploring around, looking for interesting stuff to shoot.

The envious feeling kicked in, seeing the rest holding great camera and equipments to shoot/snipe. Hmm, but I'd have great faith in my old trusty Lumix FZ7, and I still believe I can go further and there's more to learn though. It rocks man. :)

Most popular Hindu shrine, Lord Murugan. Also the tallest Hindu statue in the world

Young kids and old man drawing potrait of the statue, under the hot sun!

Monkeys awaiting at the entrance, can be nasty though

There are 272 steps stairway leading up to inner temple caves, gosh

While we're at the top, here's the city view from the eyes of the statue

A shot taken from the inside of the cave. It's cool inside here

Little statues accompanying the Lord. Real fine details, my friend

Wokies, that's all for now. 

Happy Labours' Day and have a nice weekend. 

Ciao.

Have you ...

 Bought the Wang Lee Hom "Music Man" live concert tickets yet?

Oh well, I have been questioned whenever I meet my close friends, whom all knew that I am a big die-hard fan of Lee Hom since I was 15 years old! 

And so my answer is ...

YES!!! I've got 2 discounted tickets with nice seatings before the concert organizer open the tickets for sale to the public - all thanks to a friend ;)

Seriously, I definitely can't wait to see the good concert from Lee Hom again, and this time it will be held at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil coming 2nd of May! Confirmed to be ABSOLUTELY GOOD stuff by Lee Hom himself, I hope!

My biggest satisfaction and happiest thing about this concert is ...

I succeed to persuade my Darl, to go and watch the concert together with me this time! Therefore, no more watching Lee Hom concerts alone again like for the past few times. :D

Yeah~ 

So, have you all got your ticket for this concert yet?

See you there!

Have a safe journey back~

Welcome HOME, daling!

KLite's Life During CNY

I should've posted this a month ago... but then, better late than never right?

Well as you all know, many KL-ites living in the city without any hometowns to go back to during Chinese New Year festival is alway a torture to go through. Yes, there are still gatherings to be held, houses to be visited, angpows to be collected and also the in-thing to done, EAT! 

Yet somehow it feels the same as always... boring, especially after the 3rd day of CNY. In fact, the celebrations in KL this year is getting less lively compared to the other hometowns in different states. Sigh... where in the world has the Gong Xi spirit and mood gone to!?

Now, here's what to do as a KL-ite in the city during the CNY, take photos and go mall hunting for closed shops. Happens almost every year for me. 

In order:- Pavillion, Mid Valley & The Curve

"Good what... no traffic jam, whole roads empty open for you, can conquer shopping malls by yourself, no need to queue up!", they always say. 

Now at least there's something good about the CNY...
