The Making of Auntie Tan's Man Tou

We have heard many times from dad on their story of Man Tou (plain bun) back at home - Ipoh. Today, mum demonstrates the making of Man Tou in Melbourne.

Initially, we worried if the yeast will works at this weather. Surprisingly, it turned out to be as prefect as it was made in Ipoh.

一直听爸爸说做馒头很简单， 他一直有在怡保和妈妈做来吃。 今天，在墨尔本妈妈做了她自己最爱的馒头给我们尝。刚刚出炉热热的馒头，加上香香的牛油， 太好吃了。 有时候，简单的食材反而是最令人回味的味道。

来到异国，当你发现什么都不方便，都昂贵时，你可能会像我，经常在网上找食谱，或越洋问妈妈怎么样做菜，做点心等等。"Practice make prefect" 可能有一朝我的点心可以拿到外头去卖呢！

外婆又有创举了。 今天放工回到家里，正想过去亲亲他时，看到外婆帮永轩穿了件大一号的衬衫和短裤。太可爱了，好像在穿裙子。

Tradisional Birthday Meal

今天是绍闻的生日，有了永轩我们选择了在家简单地和绍闻庆生。妈妈一早就准备了面线汤加鸡蛋。这碗很久很久都没有吃到的面线汤就成为我们的早餐。在这里，祝刚荣升为爸爸的绍闻年年健康，快乐。

Plum blossom tree at our backyard

Last week, mum discovered one plum blossom tree at our backyard, so we decided to take these photos with Yong Shuan.

今年的全球暖化好像是把春天提早了一样， 到处看见花都盛开，冬天连午间的阳光也是烫烫地。 就在上个礼拜，妈妈发现了我们后院原来有一棵梅花树。 妈妈把阻挡在前面的杂草除掉后，今天我们就在这棵小小棵的梅花树前拍照留念。

Magnolia Flower

妈妈出外就很注意别人家或路边的花草树木。今天给妈妈介绍了这种在马来西亚看不到的花 - Magnolia.

The Burp Video

This is Shao Wen trying to get Yong Shuan to burp. This video specially dedicated to Shao Wen because he often complains that he can not see Yong Shuan.

Cherry Blossom Tree

Few years back, during Chinese New Year dad used to decorate one cherry blossom tree at home to symbolize Spring time and new year celebration. In tropical home country, Malaysia, we can only buy the plastic made blossom flower for decoration.

Today, is mum's first time to see real cherry blossom flower in Melbourne.

往年，爸爸会去买假的梅花花蕾来装饰华人新年。 今天妈妈在墨尔本第一次看见了樱花树。其实我也不会分辨这两种花种。相信我们今天看见的是樱花。满满的整棵树都开满花没看见叶子。
