Most of the Chinese restaurant will have this dish, Fried Tofu. It is a very simple dish, just get the tofu and fried it. Although it is a simple dish, it also depends on the chef who cook it. This one below is from a vegetarian restaurant in Singapore. My friend is the one who prepare the Fried Tofu. He is the owner for the restaurant, Waterdrop Tea House. His restaurant is located in Punggol.

The Fried Tofu was delicious. It used the Japanese Tofu instead of the normal tofu. They were equally fried and sprinkle with spices on top.

Try it if you go there in future. Tell him my name, maybe you will get a discount. Haha.

I heard the KFC Zinger Tower advertisement from My FM. From the advertisement, it stated that you can get a discount voucher for the Zinger Tower if you go to the website. I never listen properly on the website. I search high and low in the KFC website but cannot find. It was in My FM website instead. I only noticed after I listened the advertisement again.

Although I don’t have the discount voucher, I have a RM10 KFC voucher. I went to have it on that night itself with my colleague. KFC Zinger Tower consists of soft bun, fresh lettuce, cheese, Zinger fillet, hash brown and zesty chili lime sauce.

I am not sure whether is it because I went at night time, the fillet and hash brown were very oily. The taste was not bad. You can have a try if you dine in KFC next time.

If the Zinger fillet and hash brown were not that oily, it will be perfect!

Every year during Chinese New Year, I will bake the butter cookies and give some to my colleagues and friends. This has become a must do thing for me, no matter how busy I am. I learn how to bake the butter cookies from my aunt. This is the one and only pastry that I knew how to bake. Other than the butter cookies, I still need to learn.

Many of my friends tried the cookies and they said very nice. I have the same thought too. 🙂

I know I will gain weight during Chinese New Year. I am sure because there are so many good food during the Chinese New Year: Peanut Biscuit, Love Letters, Butter Cookies, and so on. When I have nothing to do, I will start looking for those biscuit, and start eating. TI think many Chinese will have the same problem as me. That is why, after Chinese New Year, I need to do more exercise and take some weight loss supplements to reduce my weight.

Today is the Chinese New Year’s eve. Just in a while time, I am going to have my reunion dinner at my grandfather’s house. Today will be the day for all the Chinese to go back to their home town and have a reunion with their family. Most of the time, after the reunion dinner, I will sit in front of the TV that put on top of the pop up tv cabinet to watch the Chinese New Year special program. This is the routine for almost every year. Later, I think I will watch Red Cliff Part 1 DVD since I am going to watch the part 2 with my friend on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

It is good if I can work from home. I always dream of having my own home business. I can do it at home and no need to wake up so early in the morning just to go to office. Besides, I can plan my own time to do my stuff and not directed by someone. It will be less stress since I will have more freedom. Stress and freedom is the main concern for me to select my future job.

Water heater is very useful especially during cold weather. That is why, when I moved into the new house, I need to make sure I have the water heater in both bathrooms. If you don’t want to have separate water heater in each bathroom, you can think of installing the tankless water heaterfor your whole house. Try to look for the three popular brands: Bosch AquaStar, Ariston and PowerStar.

During one of the night shift, I went to this place called Dobby Ghaut Coffee Shop to have dinner cum supper. This coffee shop is famous with its Koay Teow Thng and Curry Mee. Since it was late night, I ordered the Koay Teow Thng.

This stall has the Ho Chak logo, it means the Ho Chak team has visited them before. To me, the Koay Teow Thng is just so so. Not that special. It has the pig liver. I gave them to my friend since they are too high cholesterol. Hahaha. Bad me!!! The coffee shop is opened until 3 or 4 in the morning.

Next time when you are hungry in the middle of the night, you can try to go there and have some food.

I seldom wear tie during work. In fact, I have never wore it. I can wear casual to work, with just a jean and a t-shirt. However, during my university life, we were forced to wear it 3 days a week. It is a good practice since you can learn on how to wear a tie. I have 3 ties if I am not mistaken, including silk ties that my sister bought for me. I hope they are still in good shape.

Normally, people will consume supplements to get more vitamins. The most common supplements will be the Vitamin C. Besides, there are many supplements available in the market, including calcium, magnesium, vitamin B, and etc. I thought supplements are only for human but it turn out not to be. There are also supplements for the horses. Do you know about the horse supplements? Any idea?

I have a health coach session previously with my company nurse. From the recommendation, I need to lose some weights in order to have a lower BMI. According to the nurse, the ideal weight for me will be around 60 KG. Besides losing weight, I also need to have a healthy diet, to reduce my cholesterol level. For some people, fat burners will be their choice to lose weight. For me, I still think that exercise also need to be done if you really want to have a healthy life.

I should have taken down the name of the stall which sells this Claypot Rice. It was not nice at all and it was not cheap. I think the rice is precook and left there for quite some time. After I made the order, the owner just grab one of them, start to put in other ingredients and start to cook again. You can imagine that the rice was hard from the bottom. The sauce was cannot blend well with the rice, make it not even.

This Claypot Rice costs me RM5! Totally not worth the price. Claypot Rice from Super Tanker or Teluk Bayan is much more better than this.

If you live in a house with a huge compound and have a chance to plant a tree, what type of tree you want it to be? For me, I would like to plant a mango tree. I like mango so much! My grandfather’s house used to have a mango tree which provide us the most delicious mango I ever had. But the tree was dead. I missed the mango so much. Beside the mango tree, have you thought of planting the Elm trees? You can think of it since elm is widely used commercially.

Do you know what is this by just looking at the photo? If you ask me, I totally have no idea. From the title of this post, you will know that this is the ginger, Crispy Ginger.

I have this snacks in Water Drop Teahouse during my current visit to Singapore. It is a vegetarian restaurant, running by one of my friend. I went there to try out the food and writing some review on it. The ginger was not bad. At first, when you bite on it, you will not feel anything. But just before you swallow it, you can feel the spiciness of the ginger. Try this item if you never try it.
