Something New To Me...

Bought two packets of foodstuff today... 
one which I have never tried before.. 
and one is my all-time favourite... 
I am eating one of each now... a snack after dinner...
I still prefer my all-time favourite.. 
On the left is "Sak Keh Mar" and 
the other one is walnut & dates..
Guess which one taste nicer.. :)
Went to Public Bank to collect this Cornell..
They give this free if you open a current account...
I haven't looked inside the box yet.... Not sure how to use this.. something like microwave?
Anyone tried this before?  Is it practical?

Sat kei mah is my mum's favorite but not me. The steamer is very practical especially for a small family. I miss my steamer. Mine spoilt already Have not buy a new one yet. Maybe I wait for Public Bank in KL to give this away and open a current account to get one.. hehe

wenn said...

that's a nice steamer.

Bella Enveeus said...

I have no idea what Sak Keh Mar is so maybe I'll guess the walnut & dates to be nicer?

sexyjessie said...

Im coming back to Ipoh during the CNY. Lets meet then.

Can u pls email me yr phone no to my email jes_lim2003@yahoo.com?

Reana,
I have never heard of a Cornell. You'll have to let us know if it's like a microwave. It looks plastic.
Congrats on being a Featured Member of vB!

The snacks look good and so does the steamer!

Ginny said...

If it is a food steamer, looks like you would put liquid in the bottom. Microwave dries food out, this would keep it very moist!!! Steamed broccoli is very good, steaming keeps all the nutrients in the food and they don't get dumped out with the boiling water.

Not into those stuff. Cornell's good brand - I've the slow cooker. How much you put in current account to get that? Wah...so kaya hor!

reanaclaire said...

That's a steamer. Perfect for steaming paus and 'nin gou'.

mommy to chumsy said...

Oh the steamer is very handy but I just don't like to wash up so many compartments after use :)

Kong Hee Fatt Choy to you and your family, Claire :)

Carolyn (Lil' Dahling) said...

I like "Sak Keh Mar". Never tried the other one before. That food steamer looks interesting. I've always wanted one but afraid that I won't use much of it.

Anyway, Gong Xi Fatt Chai to you and your family!
