Food Post Again - Zongzi (2)

Sunday, June 15, 2008 by , under , ,

Zongzi(a.k.a. rice dumpling) is a traditional Chinese food for Duan Wu(a.k.a. Dragon Boat) festival.

This year we were lucky to get the chance to taste some really good Zongzi made by our friends BK & Joanne. I have to say they're both really good cook. Zongzi is not easy to make, to get the taste and shape right required some pretty good skills and they did it, amazing!

Cool Gadget - Jawbone 1

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 by , under ,

Too many food post lately, time for something different.

I got a new bluetooth headset!!! It's a gift from FY, Faye's youngest sister, who won it at her company's lucky draw game, very cool!

It's the Aliph Jawbone! The military grade noise cancellation is really cool! Now the voice recognition on my phone actually work and I don't have to keep yelling just to have it dial a number(like my Jabra BT500v). The sound quality of the Jawbone is nothing to phone home about but it works. All in all, I love it!

Licorice Allsorts (2)

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 by , under ,

I remember my grandma and sometime my uncle will bring some very colorful candy from Australia when I was a kid. I have no idea what it was other than the fact that it's very colorful and flavorful.

Now I know it's called Licorice (Liquorice in UK). I found it at Candylicious last Sunday. I haven't had one of these for years, I guess the last time I had it was when I'm still a kid. And it still taste like how I remember it, very interesting.

The color of the candy make an interesting photo.

Zoe Farewell Party (3)

Monday, June 09, 2008 by , under , ,

Zoe decided to go back to Malaysia for her career advancement so we had a small farewell party for her at our house last Saturday.

We're sad that she's leaving but in the mean time happy for her because she'll found happiness in the path she's pursuing. And we know she will enjoy some pretty good food there! We wish her all the best!

Thanks to Faye and Zoe, we all enjoyed some pretty good food last Saturday as well. It took them almost a full day to prepare all the food and it took me only 2 hours to grill them, talk about easy.

My favorite dish of all is the beef and chicken satay, combine with the satay sauce they made, super delicious!!! I heard the chicken wings was pretty good but I was too late.

Grilling
The easy part!

Satay!
BHL took this photo for me while I was busy grilling. That's the chicken satay and veggie skewers.

Cute J playing with bubbles.

Hmmm...
Cool A is probably wondering why my camera is so much smaller than his mom's.

Huh?
Huh?
