Slow-cooked soups (ie, soup cooked over slow fire for several hours) are particularly popular especially among the Cantonese. Being one myself, soup plays an integral part in my life. I grew up eating rice in soups and I could survive on that for every single meal. Tradition wise, it is also imperative to have soup on the table during festive occasions. Some foods are known for their healing properties and our forefathers have cleverly incorporated such ingredients into soups. Recipes for such soups vary infinitely, depending upon the desired health benefits as well as taste. Here are some benefits of Lotus Root: - Stops diarrhea - Relieves constipation - Clears heat and improve appetite I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! |

I first learn how to cook this no fuss, one-pot dish from my Mum. This recipe is easy to clean up and without having too much dishes to wash. I would cook this whenever I feel lazy or when I have simply ran out of ideas over what to prepare for dinner! This is a fairly easy recipe as you just dump everything inside a pot and wait for it to be done. Sometimes, I would prepare slightly more so I could eat it over several days. The meat would have absorbed all the flavors and needless to say, the robust sauce goes very well with white steamed rice too! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | Ingredients: 5 chicken wings (trim away the fats) A handful of Dried Bean Curd Skins (腐皮) Pig's Skin (blanched in boiling water ) 5 Chinese Mushroom (soften in warm water) 1/2 a Star Anise 1/2 a Cinnamon Stick 1 head of Garlic, skin on and bruised 2 inch Ginger, skinned and sliced 1 cup hot water Dark Soy Sauce to taste (I used Kecap Manis) Method: 1) Fry the Star Anise, Cinnamon Stick, Garlic and Ginger in a tbsp of oil to release the fragrant. 2) Add in the chicken wings to brown. 3) Add the water, Dried Bean Curd Skins, Pig's Skin, Chinese Mushroom and Dark Soy Sauce. 4) Allow to boil, then reduce fire to simmer for 20 minutes. 5) Garnish with Spring Onion and Coriander if desired. 6) Serves 4. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Note: This is a very versatile dish as you could always mix and match your favourite ingredients. Some other ingredients that you can use for this dish include: Pork Belly, Duck Wings, Chicken Feet, Hardboil Eggs, Bean Curd Sticks (腐竹), Tau Kwa, Tau Pok, Champignons... |
Ladies: Would Your Mother Film You Stepping Out Of The Showers Naked And Post It On The Internet For The World To See?

Apparently, Gan Lu Lu's (干露露) Mum did.
The elderly lady made headlines recently for her bizzare actions.
At that time, I was baffled why would a mother resort to such extreme measures just to find her daughter a suitor?
Then, I found out that Gan Lu Lu is an actress/model in China.

What is blue, three apples tall, lives in Mushroom houses and sings La La La La La all day?
The answer is a no brainer.
If you have not already guessed, it is The Smurfs!

Awww! Is that not the cutest?

A service breakdown occurs when the expectations of a customer are not met.
When this unhappy customer feedback to you, it goes to show that he is giving you the opportunity to make things right.
Many of my friends were exclaiming on Facebook and Twitter how they witnessed two rainbows in the skies today.
It was quite rare to spot even one rainbow on any given day but having TWO appear on the same day and at the same time? Wow!
It must have been quite a sight to behold but what a pity I missed it!
Before I learned about the double rainbows, I did notice the buildings opposite were enshrouded in a hue of gold.

Update: SAMANTHA HAS APOLOGISED!
(91.3FM has removed the audio)
I bet all the Samanthas staying in Holland Village are cursing away right now.
Apparently, we heartlanders were deemed too uncultured to step foot in Holland Village and that we should just "stay where we fit best" (in our own heartlands)!
If you still have not heard about it, "Samantha" called in 91.3FM, during The Married Men on Wednesday morning to rant about us, 90% of the Singapore population for visiting her estate in "shorts and slippers and weird colored hair".
Is that not cute? |
I was walking past my aquarium last night and spotted three of my six Cories (Corydoras) resting on the Nanas (Anubias).
It is kindda cute so I quickly snapped some pictures of them.

Hello,
I am Dead Cockroach, DC for short.
I am here to share with you how my online moniker, "Dead Cockroach" came about and of all things, why a cockroach?
(OK, I get that question quite alot so I thought I might as well share my story here once and for all!)
It all happened years ago when I was signing up for a blog account. I was asked for a username and my mind was a blank.
Now, what should I call myself?
Something macho like TheMuscleGuy? Or something cute like TheFlabbyTummy?
Now, what should I call myself?
Something macho like TheMuscleGuy? Or something cute like TheFlabbyTummy?
To spare myself the agony over which nick to choose, I decided to just select whatever image that pops into my mind first and if you guessed it correctly, it is a cockroach.
To be frank, I am rather terrified of this filthy little thing myself. So much so I wished they were all dead!
Hence, "Dead Cockroach" was born.
