I cooked “tong yuen & sweet potato tong sui”

December 14, 2010 thammelissa 6 Comments

I got the idea of cooking this tong sui/dessert after I tried it from ‘tim pan kor kor’; a dessert shop in Subang.

It looks pretty simple. All you need is just a packet of tong yuen (glutinuos rice ball) which can be purchased from the supermarket (I’m lazy ma…so I just buy it from the supermarket. Moreover I do not know how to make the one with black sesame content lerr…. ^^), 1 number of sweet potato(your desired size), gula melaka and ginger.

ingredients as above

cut the whole sweet potato into cubes

METHOD:

Boil a pot of water
Put in the ginger (approximate 4cm, sliced it)
Add in gula melaka (you may also substitute it with normal sugar)
When the water is boiling; add in the sweet potatoes.
Cook till the sweet potatoes is soft enough.

As for the ‘tong yuen’; boil separately in another pot of boiling water. When the tong yuen are floating above…means its cooked. You can now scoop them up.

The final result!

Last Saturday I was at Sunway Pyramid. Thinking of what should I have for dinner. First thing that came across my mind was “Sushi Zanmai”. I’ve tried the food there 3 times at the same place. So far; it does not disappoint me. Honestly this is much better than Sushi King.

Unfortunately a friend of mine whom dine at Sushi Zanmai of The Garden Mall; left her with bad impression. She had a bad experienced. Dirty cutlery; poor presentation on food.

UNIQLO, I came…..

December 8, 2010 thammelissa 3 Comments

UNIQLO has arrived in Malaysia nearly a month.

2 weeks ago…I realized that I still have some left over RM20 vouchers which will be expiring soon(validity of 1 month). I do have more of them. Unfortunately I hardly got the chance to go there…therefore many are thrown away lor…My friend, Ashley did fully utilized the vouchers. I said to her; “If I were to be in KL, I’m sure to use up all of the vouchers I had” . She answered; “If you are in KL, I forsee you will be going there almost every day. LOL!!

Therefore; on the same weekend; I decided take a trip there and use up the vouchers before its expired.

The crowd is no longer that much as compared to the 1st week. You can now shop comfortably. Apart from that, do not get annoyed by the greets from every staff “WELCOME TO UNIQLO” at almost every corner. Because that’s the method of them serving their customers.

Denim short skirt with promo price of RM49.90. I bought it at RM29.90 discounted from RM20 voucher.

Women’s Flannel with promo price of RM79.90. I bought it at RM59.90 discounted from RM20 voucher.

Magnolia is a well known brand for its ice cream in Malaysia.

Magnolia has introduced a new line of products; “SHERBET”.

Sherbet, an American term for a frozen dessert like sorbet, but containing a small amount of dairy.

I was doing some grocery shopping with my mom, where then I came across these new products at the supermarket’s freezer. Being the curious me….I bought all 4 flavors and try them all. Each of it priced at RM2.50.

All 4 flavors. From left; lychee, mangosteen, melon & orange.
