Red Beans Ice~Cream

April 05, 2012
  short post... continuation from previous Sweetcorn Ice-cream  post  The weather is cooling off... the leaves are changing into shades of yellow and soon will be brown... grey dark clouds looking heavy and about to burst... and less sun shiny days... Its a sure sign of Autumn... and I am HAPPY...   Autumn in Perth ~ is very mild... compared to Eastern States or countries in the Northern hemisphere... I could still indulge in ice-cream...  without shivers running through my spine I chose to make red beans ice-cream....one of many favourite flavours among Malaysians... Other flavours would be Sweetcorn, Durian and Jackfruit. My all time favourite would be all of the above except for durian... I wasn't very keen on Durian or any durian flavours food eversince I was knocked out by XO durian... I had migraine for 2 days ...  Red beans with coconut milk... combine the 2 together...  ... beautiful flavours..  and I can assure you that one popsicle will no

Chocolate Fudge Ice-Cream

March 21, 2012
Rich, creamy delicious in every scoop of this chocolate fudge ice-cream Our routine has gone haywire eversince we decided to put our house, up for sale in late November last year. There were so much work involved... moving belongings and  furnitures, selling old furnitures, cleaning, vacumming, scrubbing and weeding from top to bottom, inside and outside, week in week out... until the house is sold... all that 'exercise' has left us exhausted... physically and mentally. Finally.. that chapter is over.. I can take a long deep breath, drawing in as much oxygen    as my lungs could take. Its nice to wake up to a less stressful mornings, not having to think about 'things' that needed immediate attention like lawn needed mowing, lawn is not 'green' enough, leaves strewn everywhere... this and that not working and bla bla bla... We wanted the new owner (whoever it might be...) to move in and have the same 'warm feeling' as we did when we fir

How was your Chinese New Year Celebration?  'Chow-ing down' loads and loads of festive food? And for the Young and Restless and Single ~ received many red packets (known as Ang Pows )? Ours was a quiet family affair... with lots of food that can last us the 'whole year' so to speak . We had Steamboat, Crispy fried Wonton, Sang Choy Bow and Lor Ark or Chinese Braised Duck... Oh Boy!! we were like whales about to give birth by the end of the day... Sleep or Siesta was never far from my mind... It was very ... very ... very difficult keeping my eyes open... I would have to use tooth pick to hold the eyelids from 'Shutting'... Dont be alarmed... I wasn't going to do that  ...and if I did I would have missed this gorgeous sunset... The last sunset, marking the end of the Year of the Rabbit...  see the glowing Rabbit's tail bobbing down the horizon? With the Rabbit gone... I wanted to complete the picture by welcoming the Dragon ... early
