Have a Money-Saving
Rice Dumpling Festival
(Duan Wu)
How time flies, it's May! And we are celebrating the Chinese Dumpling Festival
soon, on the 28th of May. So if you would like to know what Zong is, and how it is
related to Adzuki Bean, click on! Also check out our new pages on
noodle and pasta recipes, with more recipes to come.
We are still being very careful about spending money due to the credit crunch issues.
By that, we don't mean getting takeaway or food delivery; but is to actually prepare our own homecooked meals
more often. Leave eating out for special occasions or celebrations, so that you can cut down on unnecessary
expenses. When eating out you often end up in restaurants that don't do everything that everyone wants to have
respectively, or the chef would not agree to serve the food combination you wish to have. But you can do whatever
you wished at home whilst saving money, and get the greatest reward when you see satisfaction on everyone's face.
Cooking at home is the best way to control what you put into your food. Food is less processed,
fresher and safer. It is the key to naturally healthy lifestyle which then
leads to sustainability -- if we all choose to buy local produce with less packaging, additives
and the likes. We also believe that, as long as you cook your own food with natural ingredients, and
consume a balanced diet in moderate amount, you are doing something good to your body. There is no
point going vegetarian but keep stuffing our faces into manufactured, chemical- and additive-packed
vegetarian meals. Do check out our vegetarian recipes for some natural
vegetarian recipes. If you are not a vegetarian, you can take a look at our new sections of
catch of the day, sensible meat lover
and poultry poetry for some interesting, simple, Asian and Western style recipes.
Due to the increasing interests shown in our food and culture, we are pleased to present you
the new FAQ page so keep the mails coming in. Don't
forget to support your favourite local food stores,
and share with us your valuable money-saving tips on domestic chores
and natural skincare.
