Durian, durian, durian ...season is here?....榴连飘香..是榴连季节到了吗?

Durian is a delicacy in Southeast Asia. My whole family LOVE durian very much. That means, this including my boys (my eldest is 6, second is 4 and youngest is 2) they are also loving it. As we know too much durian will cause heaty body. To prevent them from get heaty we did not even buy  one durian this year. Always saw lots of the D24, D93 selling in the road side store, just tell ourselves too expensive hahahahha....YOu might think WHY so kasihan..so torture ...:p What to do for the sake of my boys.


~slurp,slurp~

Guess what?? No matter how we hide and avoid it comes... Law of attraction I guess, the more you think of it, the more it will stick to you....XD. My dear sister SC come to my house with a durian in her hand. She said "This is for you it just drop from my durian tree" OMG...see it comes..YEAH!!!..accept it. Thanks dear SC. Comes again the next day with 2 again..this time is a bigger durian, the flesh is thick and seed is so flat. 
My elder is just like a bee following the honey running around the durian. Soooo....I have to give them(my boys) the durian and save some for my durian cheesecake...that I would not miss doing it.

Some health tips...小小健康贴士...^^

Do you know why after taking durian easily get heaty???
This prickly durian fruit has an odor like strong cheese and plenty of vitamins and minerals including potassium. Ahha..this is the mineral that will make you heaty when you take too much durian. Too much of potassium will take away sodium (salt) in your body that will cause the heaty body. This two mineral must be equal amount in our body to keep our body in a balance condition. So....when we take durian we normally will make salt water to drink...right..this is to balance up the lost of sodium in our body. Hope that this little health tips will bring benefit to you...^^


知道为什么吃榴连会发热气吗?
榴连富有很多维他命和矿物质,尤其是钾. 我们的身体的钾和钠必需平衡. 当吃过量的榴连身体的钾过多就会带走钠, 身体就会发热气. 有没想过为什么吃了榴连要喝盐水?  哈哈...就是要补充钠.
希望我的分享会给你一点小小健康贴士...^^

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!
