                                                    Do you realize that soursop is the most unusual and exotic fruit and that it makes a fantastic smoothie? Durian Belanda is another name for soursop. Soursop or Durian Belanda is a fruit that has no resemblance whatsoever to the durian, a fruit that is commonly grown in Southeast Asia. Although durian has hard and sharp thorns, this fruit may have soft and short ones. How did this fruit come to be mistaken for the durian? The Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot on Indonesian land, and they were also the ones who, along with the Spanish, discovered the soursop in Central and South America. It was on their ships that the soursop made its way to Indonesia. Belanda refers to the Dutch, who would rule the islands for the following 300 years. That was how it was named Durian Belanda. Soursop is a type of tropical fruit. It has no smell, and the pulp is milky white, sweet, tart, and juicy, with black seeds scattered throughout the

  I read a lovely article about Chinese festival cuisine. People buy flour in North China to make dumpling wrappers, glutinous rice in East China to make rice cakes, and radishes in South China to steam turnip cakes. However, turnip cake can be found as a breakfast at hawker stalls or as a snack at numerous dim sum restaurants in Malaysia. In Penang, Malaysia, there is a famous food truck known for its turnip cake. Many locals are waiting in line to buy breakfast there. Turnip cake that has been steam-cooked can be eaten while it is still hot or deep-fried till golden brown on both sides and served with chili sauce. One of the traditional Cantonese delicacies for the New Year is turnip cake, which has its origins in Guangzhou, China. Turnip cake is now a snack at restaurants all over the world and does not need to be made for Chinese New Year. Although traditional turnip cakes vary slightly from place to region, radish and rice flour are the two essential components. When making tu

  Have you ever eaten fried mushrooms at a restaurant?   Fried mushrooms are mushrooms that have been cooked in a pot of oil to create a crispy, golden brown. I have tasted it once at a vegetarian restaurant and I love it. The fried mushrooms are fresh and crispy, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, and extremely delicious. Some of my pals wondered why the restaurant's fried mushrooms were so good. At home, the exact same ingredients are made, but the flavour is barely acceptable. There are numerous techniques to fry mushrooms. Some are dipping the mushrooms in batter, some are breading them with flour or egg mixture and breadcrumbs, and still, others are marinating the mushrooms in herbs before frying them in oil. As I always mentioned. The simplest things are the best-even when it comes to cooking. I only use one ingredient for the coating which is potato starch. That is, it!! After the mushrooms have cooled down a bit, sprinkle them with your favorite ingredie

  Why do people like croissants so much? A perfect croissant, it is a very crispy croissant with a lot of puff pastry, and it smells a good taste of butter inside. I have never once eaten a croissant in Paris before. Let us indulge in some fiction and imagine walking around the streets of France in the morning, eating croissants that are still warm from the oven, and each mouthful is bursting with butter aroma. A picture of croissant breadcrumbs and coffee milk shape may have been left in the corner of the mouth by accident. In France, having crispy and tasty croissants with a cup of coffee in the morning is as natural as having soy milk with fritters for breakfast in Asia. Is it hard to make croissants? Well, I found this to be an extremely difficult challenge but making the croissant is not a difficult recipe. All it takes is a little concentration and patience.   There are numerous processes involved, including plenty of chilling, measuring, rolling, and folding. I have been p

Have you ever had a smoothie made with dragon fruit? The flavour combination in this dragon fruit smoothie is incredible! Let us discuss colour for a moment. Many people believe this colour is artificial because it is so vibrant, but it is the natural colour of dragon fruit, which is the major component in this smoothie. Pitaya is another name for dragon fruit. There are four types of fruit: three with pink skin, one with white flesh, one with red flesh, and one with purple flesh. The fourth variant is differentiated by its yellow skin and white flesh. Like kiwifruit, they all feature tiny black seeds that are edible. I am most interested in trying the yellow-skinned scale with white fresh because it has a unique variety that I have never seen or tasted before. Juice or smoothie can be made from dragon fruit. Just peel and cut the dragon fruit into pieces, then place it in a juice mixer with the proper amount of water or yogurt to make a tasty dragon fruit juice. It is good for b

Dumplings are common in Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Dumplings are also a must-have delicacy for Chinese New Year and festival celebrations. However, many foreigners and people from other countries increasingly enjoy dumplings. Dumplings are no longer exclusively a New Year's festival delicacy, and there are no rules about when they must be consumed. Freshly packaged dumplings that can be eaten in and taken out appear to be highly popular and convenient if you want to eat them every day. Dumplings are also easily available in supermarkets. Young people who work outside are sometimes too lazy to make such handmade dumplings. The frozen dumplings purchased at the grocery or supermarket are what they consume the most. Everyone loves dumplings, and I always order one dish of dumplings when I go out to eat, even if I have eaten a lot of other things. However, I like to cook my own dumplings at home and eat them. I have cooked boiled dumplings and ea

Malaysia has a diverse range of customs to learn about. Every Malaysian state has its own unique story to share. I am a Malaysian from the sta te of Sabah. My husband is also a Kota Belud Sabahan. Today, I am going to tell you about a fishing village in Kota Belud called Kuala Abai. One of the most well-known must-see attractions in the vicinity of Kota Belud. Kampung Kuala Abai is a fishing village located 3 kilometers inland from Kota Belud. On weekends, many people from out of town come to Kuala Abai to buy fish. They go to the shore to await the arrival of fishing boats with the freshest seafood. Everyone would hope for the biggest, cheapest and freshest fish possible.  The captain places the baskets of rich seafood, which included live shrimp, silvery fish, golden croaker, lobsters, and mussels. In the port, there are a lot of people. Some are fishmongers, some are out-of-town residents, and some are fishermen's families... The shouting became louder as the number of peo

Avocado is a well-known fruit. Protein, fat, vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients abound in avocados. It is a fruit with high nutritional content, but unlike other fruits, it does not have an overtly sour, sweet, or astringent flavour. Avocados are high in fibre and unsaturated fatty acids. Dietary fibre absorbs a lot of water in the stomach after eating, causing it to expand, increasing people's fullness, reducing their consumption of additional foods, and penetrating gastrointestinal motility. For some people, eating avocado for the first time is tough. Avocados can, in fact, be juiced. Therefore, what juice is best for avocado? Is it possible to juice avocado with oranges and lemons? Yes. Oranges have a higher concentration of vitamins than apples and pears. They are also cellulose-rich. The combination of avocado and orange juice is sweet and sour, and it aids digestion . Is it necessary to dilute avocado juice or a smoothie with water? There are general instructi

  Roasted pork bone congee, as the name suggests, is a congee mainly made of pork bones. It is one of the most prevalent things we eat daily. This type of congee is popular in Cantonese. Pork bones are not only nutrient-dense, but they can also supplement a certain amount of calcium required by the human body, particularly in children and the elderly. Pork bone congee is rather simple to make. I believe many housewives and friends already have one in their back pocket. A wonderful congee should be thick, soft, and glutinous; too much water will make it seem like drinking soup; too much rice would make it feel like eating rice, sticky and difficult to swallow. When spooning a spoonful of congee into your mouth, warm, soft rice grain and thick broth rippled on your tongue. Pork bone-based soup is full of umami and flavor and is also rich in protein and collagen. I bought roast pork bones from the wet market. It was already in a small chuck. But if you have a large piece of bone, so
