Sometimes it is difficult to choose what to eat .. When you are at a loss, the easiest is to try Chinese style.. Before you get around to prepare or buy at a decent Chinese restaurant.. Take a look here to get an insight taste into how it may taste or look like.. 

Restaurants would normally serve the rice on a separate plate or bowl because it would preserve the original fragrance of the plain rice. And then comes the serve usually a meat accompanied by another vegetable dish. Picture here is 'Hakka' style braised pork rib. The taste is sweet and savory, a little spicy and it has got that black fungus inside which is good for health. 

Chinese style double boiled soup is a complement to make up a good healthy meal. Chinese people are so particular about drinking good soup. This one here is winter melon pork rib and red dates double boiled. The soup is a tonic able to replenish the spleens, improves blood circulation and helps improve digestion.

Rou Gan or Chinese Style Pork Jerky!

A few weeks ago, my friend went to Singapore and the phone rang during the night.. 'ttteee tee'.. quickly cutting out the boredom that we all felt, I picked up the phone and heard an almost excited voice quickly asking this ' ei.. what you wanna buy from here arr?' So.. I paused for a minute and thought well maybe a bottle of wine.. but naah.. its kinda troublesome.. and so what came across the mind at that instant were the 'Rou Gan's or Chinese style pork jerkies.. They have that in a variety of meat and you can find Chicken Rou Gan, Beef Rou Gan, Mutton Rou Gan.. etc..etc... but the most traditional favorite of all time has been the pork and the chicken ones..

So that's that.. Some hours passed and 'ta da' the handsome pack finally arrived and BUT in less than 10 minutes, they were all gone!!!..... oh no!! What have we done? It was as if time had stopped for that brief moment until we finally regained consciousness when we had finished eating them.....I guess we easily lose our minds when it comes to Rou Gan''' they look ugly on the outside.. but the truth is to be revealed once you taste and have your first bite!!!

Creative Breads & Pastries From the East!

Perhaps you have been showered with lots of love from the dining table where you used to enjoy afternoon tea break with good old fashioned style hearty sandwich or Ciabatta or Croissant or Sweet Cakes or a Pie maybe..

From the South East Asian countries, simple food like a piece of bread can get a lot more creative at times. This is the Egg Dip Sandwich with butter milk fillings at the center. One bite and satisfaction guaranteed! It is not that diffficult to make anyways, just have to fry the white bread together with the eggs splashed on the surface for few minutes after the the sandwich has been spread with the center filling. 

And yet another great moment to savor is when you taste the vegetable 'Popiah'.. This one is made from thin flour and egg wraps which has its vegetable or meat fillings all rolled up and made to look like a tiny love letter or rolled newspaper.. The chinese have a different for it and they call it "Chun Juen" or "Winter rolls" .

Cookies Mania ! They are Hard to Resist

One of our favorite pasttime is to munch on something sweet like butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies, strawberry waffers, onion cheese crackers, Oreos or plain cream crackers. Apart from chips such as Twisties or Cheetos or Lay's, cookies and crackers are never less tempting and oh we do crave them do not we?....

If you ever go to a friend's house, you begin to search through the kitchen for a nice tempting pack of Famous amos and then deliberately you thought the pack is already open.... so you take one to munch and then proclaim as such..  oh' I thought they were open.. :) when you grab the next piece..

Soon you and your friend would start to race against getting more struggling heavily to ensure that nobody gets that last piece..

Ladies on a diet had always been keeping off those from the shelf because that would be the safest way. However, in case one would ever visit another, the dieting protocol is bound to be broken nevertheless.. The question is how many do you want ? None.. is not that too pitiful??? One.. yes maybe.. Two... uh Oh... Three... everyone laughs.. How could we resist the era of the Cookies Mania...
