Ribbon Kyuri Salad with Asian Dressing & The Award!

First...

I want to say apologize if for the past 2 month (imagine that!) I didn't post any new recipe or blog post here. Lot of things happen that need more attention and been busy this days and yes I did take a time to travel to Singapore and Bali at our 12Anniversary :D , Will share the photos with you as soon as I can :) 

So, reader and blogger... would you please forgive me for this late post? 

I know you will ;) 

And now, our love ones... the food of course :)

Don't you agree if I say that, nothing can compare a refreshing salad after a hectic day?! 

Well, dessert is something that we often call as an indulgence after a long day. But salad, it's just something that I will always call as a "medicine" or a "detox" that will help our palate and senses to regain their memory back... And that is, truly something most precious for us, blogger, cooker and food enthusiasm - our palate and senses!

Mapo Tofu with Shimeji Mushroom

First of all, it's not to late to say a Happy Chinese New Year to everyone who celebrate it! May your new year filled with happines - love - blessing and prosperity... Gong Xi Fat Chai! :)

Even I'm a christian, since my ancestry is chinese so CNY always bring my memory back to my childhood. When my grandfather and grandmother still alive, all the family member always gathered together. When I said all, it's seriously ALL. From aunty to uncle, causin to nephew and niece, grandchild,   brother, sister and even the family member that not blood related! 

But since I'm get merried and lived in another city, that moment is hard to find. 

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Hainanese chicken rice comes from the Chinese subtropical island of Hainan and many of the sons and daughters of Hainan imigrated to Singapore in the past 100 years.

Hainanese chicken rice often considered as the "national dish" of singapore since this dish is famous among singaporean and overseas visitors and is often served at international expositions and global event aboard. 

Hainanese chicken rice is also one of a few local dishes served on Singapore Airlines flights. It's listed at number 45 on world's 50 most delicious foods complied by CNN Go in 2011.

Healtier - Giant Ginger Spice Cookies

Festive season... always bring lot's of good things and warm feeling each time they come each year. 

Even followed with busy things to do such as... grocery list - baking madness - gift warping - holiday sale rush - guests - house decorated - craft - menu listing - travel planning - decision made and exhaustion... which in my part is the low blood-pressure "visit... 

but all the list above is paid off when we put the two word side by side : "Christmas Joy"

That's why this kind of season will always be the most wanted and eagerly waited by many people in the whole world... Don't you agree? :)

Chrystilized Ginger

Ones upon a time, there's is a girl name Me... who is so in love with something call Ginger.

Every time Me is traveling and found a local store who sell a Ginger Candy, she will bough it... a lot!

And every time Me having a headache or a migraine visit... Me will sitting in her sofa - watching her favorite tv kabel (AFC & TLC) and enjoying a glass of Ginger Tea with honey... 

The picture will be perfect if that happen in a rainy day...

Oh yes... when raining is come, which is a romantic season and Me loves the most, Me will have the Ginger Tea almost everyday... 

So, Me is questioning why is she so in love this yellow and fragrant ingredient so much? 

And the answer is because Her Morher is so in love with the Ginger also! 

It happen to be a genetic! 

And thanks God for that, because later on Me is found that it is worth to be call as a "Ginger Lover" since lot's of goodness can be found in this simple ingredients...
