What is Milo?  is a chocolate malted beverage,  which can be prepared with HOT or COLD milk or water. It offer essential vitamins and mineral to meet the nutrition and energy demands of young bodies and mind. 


Who is Milo? Milo is a product of Nestle. 'Good Food, Good Life' is their motto. Milo was launched in Australia in 1930's, the Milo brand take kids development seriously. It is a energy beverage highly associated with sports and good health. Further more, do you know that Milo and skim milk is LOW GI? It is to help provide sustained energy keeping one going for longer. Isn't that great!!

My milo memories
When i was a kid, my grand dad would always order a cup of hot Milo for me whenever we visit the kopi tiam.(coffee shop). In those days, kopi tiam uses the old fashion tea cup and saucer. When the cup of hot Milo arrive, my 'Tata' (Thai poo-hakka people call their grand dad as TaTa) would pour some of the hot Milo into the saucer to let it cool down faster. This action remind me of my 'Tata' a lot. I believe if you are around my age, you would probably have drunk Milo that way..lol

Come on...Let's bake and steam and cook with MILO!

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT!
