Soft toys of the Mascots

Me and hubby went to a shopping center for groceries near our neighbourhood yesterday. We stopped by at a division selling Olmypic Beijing's official products. I intend to buy the T-shirt with 5 mascots, but it is too expensive. We then being attracted by those soft toys and end up getting 1 set home, although it's not cheap at all. Hopefully, the value will increase in the future and till then, we could pass them to our children as "heirloom"....hahahha.....I know i am dreaming!!! ;p

It's cute isn't it??

My lunch

My lunch-Italian salad with Korean Style Rice Ball. Weird combination....hahahaha....

Feeling bored and not sure what to eat as lunch. Then i remember reading a food blog before regarding Korean sushi. What's the different between Japanese sushi and Korean sushi? Well, now i know, Japanese add in vinegar whereas Korean uses sesame oil.

Since i don't have Japanese sushi's vinegar so i decided to try with the sesame oil-a must have ingredient in our kitchen. ;D

Hubby's "Crocs" My "Sport"

Hubby's "Crocs" with cute jibbitz on it. He is challenging my bet that he dare not wear it with those jibbitz. Since he said he dare to, i put those jibbitz on and awaiting him to wear it to street. :D


My "Sport" which looks similar to "Crocs". Bought it with a cheap price at a roadside stall. For the purpose of going to wet market actually. Because my sandal and feet always get wet and stink when going there.

Modified "Swiss Pork Chop"

I learned the dish from a Singaporean TV Program. But i have modified it a little for easy preparation. It should actually called "Ham Chop" instead of "Pork Chop" after my modification. Below is my modified recipe!

Ingredients:-

~Ham slices

~Cheese slices

~Flour

~Egg (beaten)

~Breadcrumbs

Steps:-

~Place a slice of cheese between 2 slices of ham.

~Coat it with flour and dip in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

~Deep fry each side with shallow oil until the skin become golden.

The original recipe is more complicated. It uses a pork slice with ham slice, the cheese slice is place between them. The pork slice has to be marinated with seasoning for at least 10 mins during preparation. Besides, it takes longer time to fry until the pork is cooked and have to be careful of the oil temperature so that the skin wont burn before it's cooked.

Anyway, both method is nice. My hubby loves it a lot.
