What would Thanksgiving be without a traditional Thanksgiving meal?? This year, we had 2!! One at a friend’s house and another at home. This is what we ate at home. Turkey, ham, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce & dinner roll. Yummy!

Weather has been a little cool lately. What can be more comforting than a bowl of hot mung bean soup ??

For toddler’s 2nd birthday . . . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

Very nice. Crunchy & yet a little chewy. Recipe from here:

Made this for a friend’s farewell lunch. It was delicious although it didn’t turn out looking like the original recipe & that’s because I ran out of gelatine powder & had to substitute with agar-agar powder.Lesson learned???? NEVER substitute gelatine powder with agar-agar powder!!!Results of substitution: 1. Texture - firm instead of a little jiggly like jello, 2. Looks-loss of transparency effect.

Dunno why the dim-sum restaurants here in US do not serve Loh Mai Kai. Instead they serve glutinous rice in lotus leaf which I am not too fond of ‘cos the smell of lotus leaf is too overpowering. So I still prefer this Malaysian version.Using this recipe http://kuali.com/recipes/viewrecipe.asp?r=1329 with some modifications:
