Instant cooking

Well, as I am staying away from home, I do not usually get to eat home cooking and there isn't much chance for me to cook either so my quick solution will be... yes, maggi, aka instant noodles.

When I was in secondary school, I could eat up two to three packets each time. Don't ask me how I managed them, I think I weighted 70kg at 15yo. Nowadays, I've gotten back to my normal diet, just one pack, sometimes lesser, but I am still size 8 (L). Sigh.




I wanted to maggi slightly healthier. So I would stuff my fridge with vege, eggs and cocktails. I try as much as possible to put vege in, just to make sure I have taken whatever vitamins contained and most importantly Fiber.

I can't eat my instant noodles without one thing, and that is EGG! For soup based noodles, cracking an egg into it is a must, otherwise I'd rather eat crackers. My sis loves her curry flavored maggi with cheese. Just put half or one slice of cheese on top before pouring the soup down. The soup will taste slightly saltier and much tastier.


Remember to add VEGE into your maggi, even cucumber is good enough. Cut them into match stick size. Or sprinkle chopped spring onions. It still counts. :)


Till then,
Auf Wiedersehen

Snowflake

Today is the birth day of Iphone5, and this blog!

Am trying my luck by submitting this post to Snowflake for its blog search which is closing today.


I am a big big fan of Snowflake. Sadly I don't always have the chance to grab one because I am working somewhere in Perak but whenever I go home (I'm KL-lang~) Snowflake is my must-eat!

Check out with their menu!

I don't have a sweet tooth, in fact, I couldn't really take sugar, I'll go crazy (sugar rush). Snowflake has this sugar level thingy where you decide how sweet your dessert will be. It's served me good so far. No rush yet :)


I personally adores the hot bestseller. No worries, the cold one is as good, they are the BESTSELLERS! Hot bestseller comes with grass jelly soup, generous amount of taro balls, pearls and peeeeeeeeenuts! The hot grass jelly soup after a few stirs (heat reduced), you will get a slimy (I loveat loveat~) texture or let the grass jelly sit awhile for jelly texture.


Cold bestseller is served with grass jelly ice, layers of grass jelly, A LOT of taro balls! and creamer. I've tried a few similar deserts and frankly, non of their taro balls are as good as Snowflake's! These balls are made of yam and sweet potato. They are very chewy, just-nice sweetness and quite filling too. This could be a light lunch! :) Nom nom!

 

Lemon Jade Jelly Ice is for you if you are looking for slight sweetness and a good taste of sourness. I wouldn't mind extra sourness, as me and my mama used to drink 100% pure lemon juice.


This dessert(if not mistaken) is also known as Aiyu Ice (爱玉冰) which is a very popular Taiwanese dessert in Malaysia. The jelly is not made of agar-agar, jello or konnyaku jelly. It's a fruit where they dry it and rub the essence into water and let it set.


If you are looking for something similar but without sourness, try Sea Amber Jelly. I don't have a clear idea about what sea amber is, but as far as I am concerned, it's something good, because they name this dessert 珍珠寒天海燕窝露 (literally translated as pearl winter swallow nest dessert).


One last recommendation, their Pearl Milk Tea! I would say, my taste bud told me it is compatible with other popular milk tea stores. I tried it during their promo and I was not disappointed. Loveat loveat~


I also love their idea of biodegradable bowl which has a slight greenish color on it. It's so great that I can enjoy my dessert at home when ice is still ice, soup is still soup (okok, my grass jelly was set, still I enjoyed it) at the same time not destroying the environment!

Talk about money, I think Snowflake is fair on its pricing. I mean I pay RM3 for Lemon Jade Jelly from coffee shop but I get sugared-lemon-jelly? I pay for quality, I do not want to pay and get things that are not worth it. Don't you agree with it?

Well, stay tuned for more food.
