CMCO - Chinese and Korean Styled Dishes At Home

LOCKUP .... so it is all homecooked food, at least for dinner, if not lunch.

Now I have a helper in the kitchen, she loves to learn especially in making desserts!  So far she has learn up two types of cakes, chocolate sponge cake and Tiramisu via Youtube... LOL... Free lessons all the way!  I don't disturb her, she does her thing in the kitchen while I stay away at some parts in the house.  When it is done, I will come and give encouragement... the more I give, the more new stuff I get to eat... isn't that a real bargain?  LOL... 

When it comes to dinner, I will take over and on certain type of food such as Korean-styled, I will step aside and let her take over the kitchen.  Then I will do the washing after that.... 

There are two different types of dinner here, one is local and one is Korean styled.. so I don't have to mention which is cooked by whom.... LOL.. 

Three dishes for the 4 of us.... 
Omelette with Kuchai aka Garlic Chives..
She just folded this into half... half moon omelette...
Three types of greens cooked with abalone... 
A confinement dish which I love very much...
Chicken in chinese wine... (lo mai chau)

And on another day, we had these for dinner... 
Gaozi... 
Minced meat, fish paste and garlic chives marinated for a few hours... 
We counted ... there were 41 in total.... 
Gave some to my neighbour... 
Steamed some and air fry the others... 
Both equally good... 
Dipped with ginger and black vinegar.... 
Eaten with homemade wanton noodles and red beans dessert!
hmmm....  have to think... 
what's cooking for tonight??

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
