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 full functioning

#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 think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
