20120211 dessert

I must blog about this !!!! :P :P :P

The weather was so hot and humid in February.

I netsurf and found some people saying that white fungus is nourishing as it moisturises the lungs and its good for hot weather.  Then found a recipe consisting of white fungus, north and south almonds, rock sugar, and some sweetener (I use papaya for this round).

So went to the Hock Hua near my mom's place to buy the ingredients.

Since K's enrichments are all over the place nowadays, have to cook halfway in the slow cooker and then instruct daddy to take over.

Here is the outcome - 4 small bowls of water (I have no idea why the recipe asked for 4 bowls of water when its for 2 servings) turned out to be like 5 big bowls of dessert (only 2 small bowls shown here).

Daddy complained about the large portion but still gulped it down, while K looked as if I was an evil empress who had just 'rewarded' her with du jiu (poisoned wine).  She drank each spoonful with tears rolling down her eyes and only took a few spoonfuls pleading not to take anymore!  Gosh!

afternote :  seeing all the remaining ingredients (the white fungus came in one big packet), I did it again in March.  This time round, only use 2.5 small bowl of water (then daddy itchy handed and added a quarter bowl more) and it came out to be 3.5 small bowls (now 'who' is 'leaking' water? Confess now!).  Use pumpkin instead of papaya (because that is what I have in the fridge).  This time round, K drank abit more and even proclaim the pumpkin yummy (but only for a while.  What a fussy eater)!  Even have enough to serve one bowl to the parttime cleaner who came, and she liked it too! :)
