Ikan Masak Assam Pedas/Sour 'n Spicy Fish in Coconut Milk - 椰汁煮酸辣 鱼.



One of my family's favourite Malaysian dish. It's usually cooked with a fish head, and the English name for it is spicy and sour fish head curry. Here I used blue eye cod belly instead. It has fish belly, egg-plants, okra aka lady's fingers, tomato, coconut milk, curry powder for sea food, dried tamarind slices, lemon grass, galangal, ground chilli and curry leaves. It is has a hot, sour, savory and sweet taste. It goes very well with plain cooked rice.

Things That I Love Doing/我喜欢做的事情

                                                            
     These are the things I made when I have a few hours of the afternoon free. I made this firstly is just to keep myself occupied and secondly is as a gift for birthdays, charity groups and Christmas. I am currently running crochet workshop in the council community center close to where I live.

Interview From Local Paper For Wrap With Love/ 百家被子当地新闻报道.

Sorry for a poor quality photo, I just scanned it off the newspaper clipping. Recently I was interviewed by the local paper as part of the community spotlight. I belong to a charity group call "Wrap With Love" an initiative that started in Australia, which has many branches of small individual groups all over the country. The group I am part of started last year and is located in Burwood, New South Wales. We meet at Burwood library every Tuesday from 10.30 am to 12.00 noon. We are a group of women from different parts of the world who get together to knit or crochet squares before joining them to make a blanket - 28 squares are needed to make a blanket.
Prior experience is not required to join us. We are after all just a group of women who would like to give back to the greater community. In our group we not only learn how to knit or crochet but we also share recipes and life experience. It is up to you whether or not to bring your own yarns but we would appreciate it if you can bring your own knit needles or crochet hooks. So come along  and have fun.

Special Request/特殊要求

Thank you, for your visit. I would like to start this blog of mine in a better way but destiny always has her way. I would like you to say 2 prayers please. One for those who are living, working and studying in Eastern Japan at the time of the earth-quake. The other one is for those who have love ones in Eastern Japan. May God blessed them all.  Thank you for your prayers. May you be blessed too. It is for a friend who has a son studying in Tokyo. and whom I  haven't met for 38 years. We parted way since after our high school days. We found each other just a day before the earth-quake in Eastern Japan. Once again, thank you for your kindness.
