Jade Mooncake

How would you like a healthier choice of moon cake without feeling the guilt from the high cholesterol salty egg yolk?

Like to share this very refreshing VegeColor Mooncake that I made and received a lot of good reviews from my family, friends and colleagues!!

A few of my colleagues even avoided the "egg yolk" as they don't want to put on extra calories and cholesterol levels :p but they feel more assured after explaining to them what the "egg yolk" is made of.

My cousin inspired me to gave this a very classy name Jade Mooncake as what the colour of the moon cake calls for :)

Made from all wholesome fruits and 28 types of Vegetables.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival everyone!

Teacher's Day in the making 2016..... (Bunny ORiGAMi, RIO Olympics Medal)

We borrowed a book about Origami Magic Show and this cute little bunny is very easy to make.
As usual, we will normally have a chat on what to draw. This year, she's so excited as she master a new skill to fold a Bunny hopping out of the hat!
Hence, Sher decided she wanted to have this Bunny appearing in all the cards that she draws.
Here's a short video on how she fold the bunny ORiGAMi....
And her Aromantic Cookie making here.

See how she drew the shadows casting from the bird, tree and cloud?

A Rio Olympics inspired Gold Medal for the best Teachers in the Whole Wide World!!

Aromantic Cookies for Teachers' Day

Happy Teachers' Day to all the beloved teachers!

Every year Sher will prepare her hand drawn or paint a card to show her appreciation and thank her teachers from her Pre-Nursery class at age 3 to 5.

I believe this is the most sincere way of showing our appreciation as its coming out from her own thoughts and also very cost economical.

This year is exceptionally special as its her last year with her Kindergarten and we are really grateful for her teachers for nurturing her and allow Sher to realize her fullest potential, we decided to do something different.

Recently we were trying out a new recipe in baking which could gives a nice melt-in-the-mouth cookies and what's more, we even added Aromantic into the cookie to make it more flavorful with a coffee taste without caffine and not forgetting they are also rich in amino and calcium.

How is it possible to enjoy Coffee without Caffine?

We all know calcium is an important for overall health. Calcium plays an important role in muscle contractions, transmitting messages through the nerves and release of hormones.

If we don't get enough calcium in our diet, the body will takes the calcium from our bones and this will leads to weakening of the bones or even osteoporosis.

Aromantic is made from a variety of premium herbs. It contains Pearl, Bee Pollen, Barley and Pumpkin Flower. It is rich in amino acids, phytochemicals and calcium that are easily absorbed by the body. This delightful beverage with an aroma of coffee smell ! (which comes from the roasting of the barley) is a convenient source of nutrition for those who do not get enough amino acids and calcium in their diets.

Pearl

Pearl is rich in calcium and may help to improve skin condition and the digestive system.

Bee Pollen

Bee Pollen is rich in amino acids, which provide nutrition needed by growing children and for immunity against bacteria and viruses. Aromantic uses bee pollen from a single type of flower, lowering the risk of allergy. The bee pollen in Aromantic is concentrated and professionally processed to remove its indigestible shell.

Barley

Barley is high in amino acids, vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, minerals and beta-glucan. Beta-glucan promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon and helps prevent absorption of fats and cholesterol in the intestine. Barley can be roasted to obtain more nutrients.

Pumpkin Flower

Pumpkin Flower is rich in carotene. It may be effective against conditions such as insomnia, high blood pressure and stroke. It can also improve heart function.

What other ways can you do with Aromantic?

Aromantic can be enjoy as a beverage by itself, added in to bake coffee pancake, cookies etc.

Stay tuned for Aromantic Cookies!! (& how Sher makes them for her Teacher's Day gifts Aromantic Cookie Making)

Trifloral Jelly - Osmanthus with Wolfberries

It is always a hit at every gathering or pot luck that I always prepare the Osmanthus Jelly to bring along. At the same time, I also love to drink Trifloral Osmanthus flavor as it gives a very nice fragrance and best of all, it has very high antioxidants which can relieve stress, headache, aid weight management and especially good for sore throat (and I have to give a high five for this as I personally experience this when I was preparing for my children workshop in April'15 at CoolDeSac and I was down with a really bad cough and on the verge of losing my voice. I drank 2 tea bags the day before and another on the next morning prior to the workshop. Luckily I was able to talk non-stop for almost half a day without much hiccups. So trust me, this is really good !!)


This round we have a gathering at my house, I decided to try to add in the tea to give a more aromatic Osmanthus tea flavor and true enough, the overall experience is really awesome!


Everyone loves the jelly and its also very refreshing & thirst quenching after a very sinful dinner :)


Hope you will also love this jelly as much as I do. Do give me your comments after trying out this recipe.



Closed up view of the jelly. I loved the visual effects of Osmanthus flowers and wolfberries showing in the jelly



 

soak a bag of trifloral to 500ml of water. I only put 1 bag as I'm adding osmanthus flowers so I do not want to overwhelm the taste.

add osmanthus flowers to the trifloral in a pot and bring to a boil, add in Konnyaku jelly powder and stir till dissolved

prepare the soaked wolfberries in the jelly mould

pour the jelly mixture in the jelly mould

I tried a different method by separating the Trifloral from the jelly mixture and only pour in after the mixture is dissolved.  The jelly mixture once off the heat from the stove, gets solidify pretty fast. My verdict is I still prefer the first method I have shared earlier as it's easier to manage.

I loved the QQ texture of Konnyaku jelly over agar agar or the normal jelly

made another batch for my colleagues after my gathering over the weekend. Got a thumbs up from them :)
