a.k.a ninong/nonis christian coke lover coffee lover "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Special Edition : Chinese Weddin-food edition! When it comes to the marriage of a Chinese, no doubt are there many traditions to follow- even food wise! :D Firstly, the Tang yuans ( glutinous rice balls): They generally symbolise a blissful and wholesome marriage. Handmade from glutinous rice flour, warm water and a little red coloring, these bola-bolas are made with such effort that each one has to be round and crackless i.e. they must be PERFECT (perfectly made by me that is. haha. ) Cooking it is easy, just drop the bolas into fer a boil and when they float to the surface, they're done! Cool in tap water to remove extra starch so they dont stick together, or puff up easily.   Next up! Preparing the sweet soup. The soup base for this tangyuans are used fer many purposes in a marriage- as the soup base for the tangyuans, as the tea for the tea ceremony and as the soup base for the meesua that the bride/groom have to consume. It is made with manymany err...things (there are 6 of them) , e.g. the little lotus thingys( that the couple will always be commited to each other), red dates, dried golden mandarin oranges, ah...i dont noe what the rest of them are called. i tink rock sugar is one of em, hehheh. it must be sweet- that's the criteria!  Sweeet soup. Sweet. After this, the soup is filtered into a tea pot for the tea ceremony, while some of it is left for the tangyuan and meesua.  Traditional tea pot set Last but not least; we have the Meesua coming up! the meesua is eaten by the couple to signify a long-lasting and blissful marriage; it does not have to be fully finished by the couple, but they must make sure they do the following : pull the strands of the meesua really high, and break the yoke of the hard boiled eggs. This is how it's prepared: Prepare boiled eggs - the trick to perfect looking boiled eggs is in adding salt to the eggs while they're boiling in the water! This way, the egg shells do not stick to the egg at all. Then place it in a small pot containing some of the soup base for the tang yuan. Cook some meesua in hot water, and serve it together. Simple as that!  Pretty eggs  Finished product, consumed by the couple. Well these are the traditional foods are are served for the bride/groom in a wedding. In the event whereby the parties involved are wealthy, there are even suckling pigs! my cousin is a doctor, so it explains that pig resting below :  superpig.  the truth revealed. Eeyer , i felt cheated that underneath the red cape, there's no meat! just a pail and some important traditional stuff. boohoo.  serving the meat. yea, that's all for this special edition! hope u had fun readin this! :D |
