Jimui's gear

Yesterday was our wedding day. It was indeed a good day because there were full 10 couples in the bridal house for makeup service for wedding dinner at the very day. Let me introduced another DIY thing I did.

I made sash and hand corsage for my jimuis during my wedding morning session. For the hengdai, I just made a chest corsage. I bought RM8 satin cloths back in Klang and sewed 11 sashes out of it

This photo of the product was taken by my uncle, Sean. He was taking photos all the time and he is a good photographer apart from Trinity, my official photographers for the day


The photo of my 11 jimuis wearing the sash and hand corsage. They were so creative with the sash. One made it into a rose and pin it to the chest like a brooch. One used it as hair band and some as the original purpose, a sash.

Tauchiu steamed pork rib

I don't post recipe lately because there was no new food to write about. I can't be making new food everyday right? For people that know me very well, they should know I am a pork lover. I love pork since I was like 10 years old and that's the time when my mom started to venture into making restaurant type dishes for us every dinner. This is one of our family favourite, or I would say one of MY favourite since childhood; tauchiu steamed pork rib. I don't remember if I ever post this before, but here it is..



I use the finely smashed tauchiu sold in glass container ;) Careful not to buy the salted tauchiu because it's too salty. Omit salt in making food using this ingredients because you don't want to lose all your hair by 35 years old. My mom loves to add some taufu in because it can suck up the juicy tasty gravy came from steaming tauchiu pork rib. Both taste equally good.

1. Marinate overnight with this ingredients
small square pieces of pork rib cut out of 1 rib
1 tablespooon tauchiu (soya bean made sauce)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon corn flour
minced 3 cloves garlic
pepper
2. Add about 4 tablespoon of water into the bowl with #1 and steam for 20 minutes

Serve hot with rice ;)

Halloween @ Chicago Ribs House

Hello all! I feel like ages since I last wrote here. The just past weekend was Halloween. We did not celebrate any but only realizing that when we went for dinner at Chicago Ribs House for my birthday treat. There were many people with costumes walking around the Gurney place and live performers on stage singing lady gaga's, justin bieber's Baby, Shakira's and many other songs.



It was full house and we were lucky to still get a seat although weeliem phoned to reserve seats for 2 and they didn't jot that down. I didn't want to take photos of the waitress because their makeup and costumes looks a bit flabby and not pretty. :P

Before this I heard from friends and blogs that the waiting time for food is very long but we got ours in less than 15 minutes. So we ordered starters, fried mushroom. It was not nice at all but the dipping sauce is good.

Fried mushroom


I ordered Chicago pork rib and Weeliem picked beef ribs and they were superb.

We were so full after dining and I wished I didn't order the starter. hehe.
