Cappuccino Tikoy
When people ushered in the Chinese New Year almost two weeks ago, this cappuccino tikoy or nian gao was something I was wanting to buy. It was commonly offered and recommended by those who were selling this at the Chinese food festival at the AMall.
I ended up just taking a photo of it before we left. It was just too big and the boys are not much into eating this so I decided to forego with the idea then and maybe just buy one some other time. I basically like eating tikoy or Chinese rice cake made from glutinous rice flour.
I remember that my Chinese classmates in college would treat us to free tikoy during Chinese new year. That was something we look forward to each year then. Well for now, I have found two suppliers who sells this cappuccino tikoy and I can just drop by their store anytime perhaps when I want some of this cappuccino tikoy.
Morrisons Apple Squash Juice Concentrate
This is the Morrisons Apple Squash Juice Concentrate that my mom sent to us from the Christmas package that my dear elder sister sent to us from UK. This is really sweet. At first I thought I could just drink it as it is even a little and I did not know that it was juice concentrate so you could imagine how sweet this tasted when I drank it straight without adding any water. Only a little of this for a glass of water will do for me but I was late to know that.
It is delicious and it is the first time that hubby and I have tasted anything like this with squash. I could not actually point out the taste of squash int his juice concentrate. It is more of strong sweet apple taste. the label says no added sugar from this concentrated apple juice drink with sweeteners. Yes it is kind of too sweet for me but I think my sister liked this that is why she sent this to us for us to enjoy drinking it as well.
This should have been our “wine” during New Year. There is still a few left of this since I don’t drink this anymore than hubby does once in awhile.
Personalized Gift
Helping my dear friend look for a baby gift for her goddaughter’s baptismal can be easy. I did enjoy doing some online window shopping earlier for some choices to choose from the personalized baby gifts that I would suggest to my friend. She trusts my taste and choice somehow which sometimes makes me wonder why she won’t just decide by herself. (more…)
