talking to the colleague who was from this section.. she suggested throwing everything into the miscellaneous file

*twitches nose... sniffs air... should be good!

Hmm... I've never cooked it before but I think I shall do so one day. I wanna get those lovely Japanese / Korean giant mushrooms with the thick white fleshy stems to throw in. I think the straw mushrooms will go very well too.

Mmmm... and kecap manis with sliced red chilli!! Mmmm...

Hmm... I think a handful of gei ji (goji berries) will taste very nice in it too! Never cooked it before, but already got a few ideas for special touches! Hehe!

I am only cooking those from the packet, not from scratch. I am going to let it cook for about an hour.... that should be nice....

I want to get a clay pot.

I think adding fungus to bak kut teh spoils the taste of it by adding the mushroom taste

Good! Good!! *claps hands with glee!!

I think before you first use a claypot, you must soak it in water, isn't it? *scratches head... Read about it somewhere in some Malaysian / Singaporean food magazine...

No leh! Think I've ever eaten a version of bak kut teh with white straw mushrooms. Those mushrooms aren't like the dried mushrooms... they are extremely delicate and almost tasteless.

Ya, I think so. I bought one a while ago to cook my chinese medicine and it cracked on my second use.... sigh, that goes my $20...

Oh dear... this time round, soak it completely in water until the clay completely turns a darker shade before using. That might help.

I am looking for the one you use for food cooking......... like you see in the restaurant.

Victoria Street has plenty! Cheap too! I'm sure you can find it cheap in Boxhill as well.

Honeymousey, the Golden Tofu brand of dao huay is very nice! I found it to be nicer than the dim sum restaurant's! It's only AUD 2.00 for a large tub! Hehe!!

Only thing is, I don't like the syrup that comes with it. It looks more like molasses and it has a faint whiff of ginger. Heng ah I added a wee bit nia!

Is it a packet you have to make it yourself?

Rhonda SG

Nooooo! It's ready made in a large tub! Think you can find it in the refrigerated foods section of most Asian grocery shops. Don't forget to take the little tub of sugary syrup when you buy it.

Rhonda SG

I went to look at the label as I ate... it's 600 g of tao huay for AUD 2.00 nia!

Don't buy that brand's dao huay chwee though! I prefer another brand's.

Oh.... ok. I will go and have a look next time I am in Box Hill....

Guess what I am snacking on now?! .... fairy floss.... I love fairy floss...

Pure coloured sugar.

I'm watching Anthony Bourdain on A Cook's Tour now... never knew that 'gammon' is pronounced as "hah-mohn".

Rhonda SG

Oooh! Melbourne's "Ondine" restaurant is being featured by Bourdain now!!

honeymouse SG

Pure coloured sugar.

I know..... I usually prefer savoury stuff to sweet but every now and then I just have cravings for some sweet things like fairy floss.....

Rhonda SG

honeymousey, did I tell you that two or three weeks ago, I bought my very first corkscrew?

And I've found the first Aussie wine that I truly enjoy! Brown Brothers'Orange Muscat & Flora. Comes in 375 mls bottles and it's sooooo fragrant! You can really smell the ripe Orange Muscat and Flora grapes!! I bought it to celebrate the completion of my Bibliography. Maybe tomorrow to buy another bottle to celebrate completion of Case Study!

Aiyah... don't worry lah... I eat so much more than you!

honeymouse SG

honeymousey, did I tell you that two or three weeks ago, I bought my very first corkscrew?

Yep.... you were telling us at the yumcha....

I thought nowadays more wine come in screw top, no? Do you like red or white wine?

Rhonda SG

Honeymousey, I bought four trench coats today! Hehehehe! Huuuuge sale! I wanted to own a trench coat but because of the fantastic sales, I got four for under AUD 200!! And they are better than K-Mart and Target brands too! Can't wait to receive them!!
