While on the way to the MRT Station after dinner at Kuishin-Bo during our family outing on the 11th day of Chinese New Year, these branches of beautiful blooming pussy willows at the showcase windows of a shop in Suntec City Mall were spotted. The blooms were really unique, hence prompted ER to take the photos.
In the beginning, I really scrutinized these branches to make sure they were real and not fake or plastic ones. The flowers were so differently from those, fox tail shaped, that I have seen before.

Noodles serve with blanched vegetables and homestyle sauce which also double up as a dipping sauce for fried fish.
Use and purpose of alkaline water:
Alkaline water, also known as “gan sui” in Cantonese and “air abu” in Malay, is a clear solution of the salts sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and sometimes sodium phosphate.
Because it is often called “lye” water, it is frequently confused with lye or caustic soda, which is sodium hydroxide, a much harsher chemical that has limited culinary applications in the West.
In the Asian kitchen, alkaline water has few and specific uses. The characteristic springiness of Hong Kong style “mee” noodle is due to “gan sui”, which is added to noodle dough to firm up its texture, and give it a yellow tint.
It does the same for glutinous rice in “kee chang” (yellow alkaline glutinous rice dumplings) and in their Malay cousin, “kuih lopes”.
Steamed rice-flour dough, for example, in Nyonya “kuih kosui” and “ang koo kuih” skin, can also be given a firmer consistency by carefully measured amounts of alkaline water.
Dried cuttlefish or squid are sometimes briefly soaked in “gan sui” for the opposite effect - it makes them more tender when rehydrated.
As Asians do not fancy the slightly sour, acidic flavour of slowly fermented bread dough so beloved in the West, dim sum chefs add alkaline water to buns “pau” dough to neutralise any yeasty, sour overtones.
Alkaline water is sometimes used as a rising agent in the same way that baking soda is. For instance, it is stirred into “ma lai kou” batter, where it reacts with acids in the brown sugar to produce bubbles that yield a light, fluffy steamed cake.

About Chinese Mooncakes (excerpt from Sunday Times)
It is said that mooncakes festival marked the end of the summer season in ancient China, and the people celebrated their harvest by admiring the full moon and eating mooncakes.
Handmade mooncakes have thinner and softer skins, because they are individual wrapped by hand around fillings before shaped inside wooden moulds and baked. Traditional fillings are plain lotus seed paste with one-salted egg yolk.
Cantonese-style – the type with lotus seed paste wrapped with a thin layer of baked skin.
Tai Chong Kok 34 Sago Street
Teochew style – characterized by the flaky skins. Fillings mixtures of candied melon, sesame seeds, orange peel and red bean or chewy malt sugar paste
Thye Moh Chan Cake House 53 Geylang Lorong 27
Sze Thye Cake Shop Block 2 Beach Road 01-4795
Hokkien style – are similar to the Cantonese “wife biscuit” filled with candied winter melon paste and have a slightly salty taste

I know SAH usually gives the bacon cheeseburger updates, but I (Cory) ate this one. It is a Bacon Cheese Homestyle Melt from Burger King. The only thing I didn't like was the sauce (ranch dressing?) but I just scraped the bulk of it off. On the whole, this was very satisfying and delicious. The King did a good job with this one. The bread and swiss really make it.

City dwellers like us rarely see banana trees growing near a pedestrian walkway in a public housing estate. Hence I took a photo of this unusual sight, especially one bearing a bunch of fruits!
It would be fantastic if I were there again and chanced upon the top few bananas ripening! A photo will sure ensued
Aloe vera is rich in minerals, vitamins and fibre. The green sap from the peeled aloe vera gel was rinsed away with water. The chunky cubes were then boiled and sweetened with rock sugar. This above is chilled aloe vera served with ice cubes and lemon.
My family found this dessert so refreshing that has generated much interest with questionnaires.
Rika asked: Where did you buy the fresh aloe vera? How did you cook it? Where did you find the information on cooking? With all her questions answered, she concluded: We shall cook our own dessert from now on! Oh yes, serving aloe vera with lime is her suggestion. But, we only have lemon so we used it. The juice and fragrance of lemon has made it delicious and refreshing!
Later YH came up with similar questions when he came home from work and he said: Tonight it is a bit cooling. This is a very refreshing dessert to serve on a hot day! Shiok!
Actually, it was my sister PG who introduced cooking fresh aloe vera to me over the phone. I think she asked me to boil it with honeyed dates. But on 2nd thought I cooked it with rock sugar. This will make it versatile if we want to make aloe vera with tea.

These are the Chinese herbs listed on the packing: 菊花 [ju hua, chrysanthemum], 夏枯草[]xia ku cao], 茅根 [mao gen], 芦根 [lu gen], 甘草 [gan cao, licorice root], 竹叶 [zhu ye, bamboo leaves], 千层紙 [qian ceng zhi] and 紫草绒 [zi cao rong].
After boiling and simmering the herbs in water for 1 ½ hours in a pot, the contents were removed. Extra chrysanthemum was added in and continued to simmer for another 10 minutes and then removed before rock sugar was added to sweeten the herbal tea. This herbal tea has a cooling effect.

Made by the Mitchell and Rammelsburg firm. ca. 1880
The firm of Mitchell and Rammelsburg was perhaps the best known of the Cincinnati Victorian furniture makers. Robert Mitchell came to Cincinnati in 1829, an Irish immigrant intent on making his mark. After apprenticing himself to established cabinetmakers, he struck out on his own in 1836, eventually forming a partnership that would last until almost the end of the century.
Mitchell's counterpart was Frederick Rammelsburg, one of the thousands of German immigrants who settled in Cincinnati during a great wave of 19th-century settlement.
From their five-story showroom on Columbia Street, Mitchell and Rammelsburg advertised sofas, chairs and cased furniture — sideboards, dressers, desks and elaborate dining and bedroom suites.

This is a mixture of Thai fragrant rice and Australian Calrose rice. It has been quite a long time since I last cooked this combination.
No. 238 This is one of our handsomest bungalows and is particularly adapted to a corner location. Upstairs is a very fine large well ventilated bed room, a large enclosed sleeping porch, a maid's room, bathroom and fine closets and storage space.
Purchased from Mitchell & Rammelsburg Furniture by Jesse Smith Norton (1826-1887), a Civil War colonel who lived in Toledo, Ohio.

Jesse Smith Norton enlisted as the 35 year old Colonel of the 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, enlisting on April 27, 1861 and receiving his commission May 15, 1861.
During the summer campaign of 1861, Colonel Norton was seriously wounded in the hip and captured July 17, 1861 at the Battle of Scarey Creek in western Virginia. Detained by the Confederates only briefly, then paroled, he returned home to recover and mustered out with the regiment August 12, 1861.
He was retained as Colonel of the 21st Ohio for three years' service. He led the regiment through the summer of 1862, where in northern Alabama, a number of problems came home to roost for him. In the first place, he had never been formally exchanged since his capture in July 1861, so his leadership of the 21st Ohio was in direct violation of his parole.
In the second instance, his departing divisional commander Brigadier General Ormsby M. Mitchel discovered him at a clambake with well-known Alabama secessionists.
Combined with an accusation of stealing then selling government horses for personal profit, Norton spent the next several months shuttling between his home in Perrysburg, Ohio and the capitals of Columbus and Washington, D.C. trying to clear his name. Meeting indifferent success, he resigned his commission to date December 20, 1862.
I miss the king oyster mushrooms that have been randomly absent from the supermarkets' shelves. Today I have decided to replace it with fresh button mushrooms in this dish instead.
