Last Sunday was the DuanWu Festival in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. We used to celebrate this day with rice dumpling. Since we are away from home, we missed Malaysia rice dumpling so much especially the Nyonya taste one. I've cooked the symbolic glutinous rice for our dinner on that day to celebrate this festival.

Hooray ! Last Monday was the Queen's Birthday, Public Holiday for all Melbourne resident. The supermarket had a few items on special just for this long weekend. And one of them is the lamb cutlet, I bought a pack and cook lamb at home for the first time since I came to Melbourne.

I made them into herb with garlic and the other with black pepper. Side dishes was the butter mushrooms and the mashed potatoes.

As okra is selling so expensive in Melbourne market, I hardly cook any okra dishes. (A$ 11.99/KG) I personally loved okra so much, but when it comes to $$, I would hold on to it and wait until I go back to Malaysia for okra dishes. I still remember the "Four Heavenly King" dish - 四大天王, a.k.a Stir Fried Sambal with Okra, Pedai, winged bean and long bean, which is so popular among the restaurants in Malaysia.

Finally, I bought some okra last week, around 20pcs costed me A$1.30 just for my Assam Fish Curry.

Cousin YS handed me this recipe quite sometimes ago, finally I found time to try it out myself in Melbourne. It is one of the traditional dishes we used to cook during festive season especially the Reunion Chinese New Year Dinner. This dish used to be in charged by Grandma, has lately transfered to Uncle CM. Chinese call it "Lou" means cook with the herbs. I cook chicken feet, pork belly and egg this time. The traditional one that uncle cooks usually is using chicken and duck.

YS's birthday is just near the corner. I have been practicing to make some cupcakes when I stay at home during the weekdays. Hopefully more practice will lead to a better taste of cupcake when the time comes. We still have not decided if we are going to hold a party for our boy however we definitely will prepare him a birthday cake and snap photos.

Finally, I cooked my favorite Chilies Seafood Dish in Melbourne, this time I have replaced the crab with prawn. It is hard for me to write the recipe here, as I am not a person that really follow instruction. I got this habit to add a bit of this and that. If there is anyone interested to know more, I can email you the KC's recipe and method to cook this. Next time, I will try to cook with scallops or cuttlefish.

Skin Prick Test

I brought Yong Shuan to see Allergist last Wednesday to have his skin prick test on some of the common allergies. Good news is, Yong Shuan didnot react to Wheat, Cow Milk, Soy, Egg White, Dust Mite and Mix Grass. This means he can have most of my home cooking. Doctor said we should reserve the peanut and shell fish when he turns 2 or even bigger.

The photo showed the nurse has marked Yong Shuan's back with numbers and the control test '+' and '-'.
