Going on a trip!

Yes yes yes!!
I'm going on a trip!!  To my beloved - China!!

Too bad I won't get to visit Beijing - my second home.  Come to think of it, last I was there - I just finished my studies!  I can't believe that its been almost 8 years already!!  Has it been that long?

Now, I think - my knowledge on the language will be tested.  I mean, no practice for 8 freaking years?  I smell a lot of senior moments and booboos!  Which reminds me, I think I need to refresh my Chinese speaking and listening skills (if there are any left!)  hahaha....

Can you guess where I'll be going?

By the way, I'll be going to the City of Lights right after!

 I'm all so excited to taste authentic dimsum and of course - Din Tai Fung!  Can you imagine the food galore?  Oh my goodness!  I can't stop thinking about food!! :)

The last trip I made to the City of Lights was the year before I got married, to which I won the tickets to!  And now will be the first time to go as Mrs. Panget!  Hahaha!  I can't wait to get to the City of Lights!!

Any suggestions on where to eat in Canton and in HK?
(For HK suggestions - let's omit DTF, Yung Kee, Zen, Dan Ryan's Delicious Kitchen, Crystal Jade, Sweet Dynasty and etc. - something new perhaps?)

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
