A lovely little arrangement I found on a houseboat along Strandvägen in centrel Stockholm. The owners of these charming antique vessels have really done them up in a loving way.

We last ate this noodle in Clementi since 3 years ago. This is the first time we cooked it since moving to Punggol 21. Somehow, udon is preferred.
These types of local yellow noodles, round or flat, are usually coated with oil; it is best to rinse them with running tap water just before cooking.
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.

One of Wisconsin's most authentic Old World style eating places. Excelling in Swiss and American homestyle cooking
No. 243. A substantial and very attractive stucco home of five rooms, sun room and sleeping porch. The cozy little breakfast nook in the kitchen saves a great many steps.
Hot Bar with rice - 3 serving AUD8.90
Simple homestyle cooked food.
- Beef Rendang was quite nice with tender chunks of beef, but rather simple chilli and coconut flavours.
- Grilled Beef Rib with kicap manis sweet soya sauce and chilli in big hunks. Tasty, but a bit chewy. The rich seams of heart-clogging fat add to the flavour.
- Stir Fried Squid with Tomato is a common dish in many Indonesian or Malaysian homes!
Friendly Indonesian cafe, no doubt catering to the students from Swinburne University just across the road.

Home no. 223. Simplicity and attractiveness make this one of our most popular bungalows. The living and dining rooms are connected by a large book case opening which makes them practically one room.
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.

No. 234. A very attractive little home of five rooms, with the popular small dining room. The basement garage is very economical and well designed for a high terrace, but can easily be eliminated without detracting from the exterior appearance if so desired.
No. 218. A new and unusual roof, and a very attractive little one of five rooms, bath and breakfast room, complete in every respect with nothing left out that is needed to make a beautiful home.
No. 230. It would be difficult to plan a more artistic or homey bungalow than this. The foundation piers and flue are built of cobblestone paving blocks.
This reminds me of my childhood. My mother was insane and she would cut my hair, in the kitchen, using sewing shears. I looked like a victim of a chainsaw attack.
I found the pattern and instructions very bad but after a lot of tinkering, I am really pleased with the result. I adore this fabric, great design by Anna Maria Horner.

ER's fond memories of Seletar Camp and Jalan Kayu from 1971-1973...especially the Friday night market (pasar malam), Doris fish & chips, Camp Cinema 'The Astra', NAAFI (Navy, Army Air Force Institute) and Camp Taxi service... Here's more about Seletar Camp and Jalan Kayu
Neomarica longifolia, Trimezia martinicensis
(Yellow Walking Iris, Apostle Plant, Martinique trimezia): I have three pots of this but they are not flowering yet, most probably due to insufficient sunlight.
Excerpt: The yellow walking iris blooms from spring to late autumn. The inflorescence arises from the base. When each inflorescence is finished flowering, it produces plantlets and arches toward the ground. The plantlets root and will bloom in a year.
This plant can be used indoors as a lucky bamboo or lucky mangrove. It is a unique plant since it tolerates both drought and flooding, so it can be grown in a container with water, terrarium, aquarium or just a small dish. It tolerates full shade as well, thus can be kept in low light conditions as a house plant.
