Stuffed tau pok
I came aross the recipe from foreplay of senses http://www.foodbuzz.com/blogs/601211-recipe-is-stuffed-tau-pok-tofu-puffs- and decided to try it out for my loving hubby to try.
Recipe reproduced here:
Ingredients
30 tau pok, cut a slit across each one for filling the stuffing
Filling
350 gms minced pork meat
4 tbsp chinese cooking wine (I replaced it with mirin - sweet Japanese cooking wine)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tsp cornflour/cornstarch
4 stalks spring onion, chopped
a handful chinese chives, chopped (I didn't include this)
1 tbsp finely chopped young ginger
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley or coriander/cilantro (include the stalks)(can be substituted with celery) (I didn't include this)
a generous dash of pepper (I didn't include this)
salt to taste
Stock for braising
6 cups water
1 tbsp oyster sauce
4 cloves garlic skin on, crushed (I replaced it with Onion as I don't like garlic)
salt and sugar to taste
Method
in a pot, put in all the ingredients for the stock and bring to a boil. using a teaspoon/desert spoon, fill the tau pok with the stuffing and pop into the boiling stock. do 10 tau pok at a time. let the tau pok boil in the stock til cooked, and scoop up with a slotted spoon and set aside. add water to the stock if necessary, bring to a boil again and cook the next batch.
retain the stock to pour over the tau pok just before serving.
End result?
ta..da.. My hubby loves it!! My mum thought that I bought it outside as it looked professionally done

水土不服 OR 水土“太服”？
可怜的我，在这次曼谷之行生病了。我想，应该是异乡的KFC吧。 我不是第一次到曼谷唷，怎么还会这样。 我也不清楚。不停的吐，把吃下去所有的食物都吐出来， 一直到凌晨3点。隔天还要搭飞机。还好有个好老公，帮我收拾行李，还陪我们到机场去。老公的飞机是下午4点，而我们的是中午12点。他还是二话不说 ，宁愿去机场试一试能不能换班机。谢谢你， 老公！

Bangkok Trip 1-4 Sept 2011
Fist trip with my sister Yong and mum. Have been wanting to go and couldn't find time to do so. This is the first action item for my 3 months' break. I sincerely hope my sister and mum will be enjoying the trip. If I continue to proscatinate, I think my mum may be too old to travel with us. I am glad that I plan for it.
The usual blur sotong self - woke up in the morning and realised I forgot to buy travel insurance for three of us!! Jumped out from bed and quickly get connected to DBS in order to buy that. Phew, we are still in time. Reached Airport and being informed that the plane is delayed for another half an hour. My shopping hours get shortened =(
Boss is right. Health and family is the upmost important in our life. Without a good health, we won't even have the opportunity to travel and enjoy the life!!

心血来潮
手痒的开了一个博客。我也不知道我有没有耐力继续写。也好，就当作失业三个月唯一的寄托。
有人问， 你为什么要放长假。我也不知道， 我累了。 工作了这么多年， 屈指一算，9年！！ 我只是不停的工作，却没有时间去想我究竟要的是什么。我想，真正的转垒点是爸爸的心脏病和自己的健康。当我的身体不停的出现状况（时常头晕，皮肤敏感痕痒难当，生病）我知道是时候放个长假，好好的看看沿路的风景。。。
