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,...

I recently paid a visit to my brother. My sister-in-law wanted to share half of the pumpkin she got from her mother before I left. I initially mistook it for a regular pumpkin. I was surprised by the size of the pumpkin when she brought it out of the fridge. It was a circular pumpkin with a 16" diameter. Have you ever seen a pumpkin this large? It was my very first time. I'm not sure how I will get this half-sized pumpkin finished. When I discovered this Harry Potter pumpkin juice, I was taken aback. Have you tried the Harry Potter pumpkin juice that was made at Hogwarts? I haven't. I choose to make my own version. A Malaysian version of Harry Potter pumpkin juice. I'm not sure what the taste of the original pumpkin juice is like. But this homemade Harry Potter pumpkin juice is my absolute favourite. Some of the recipes call for cooking on the stove, while others suggest mixing all the ingredients in a large pitcher and serving cold or hot. I used to make pumpkin sag...

  The International Dragon Boat Race’s launching ceremony was recently featured in the papers, and it was only then that I realized the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching. Worship, rice dumpling wrapping, and dragon boat rowing are all part of the Dragon Boat Festival. Of course, we must not forget that this event is also held to commemorate the sentiments of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. I hope that this event goes off without a hitch and that the competing teams are well prepared for the battle to get a higher outcome! Women, on the other hand, are busy at home wrapping sticky rice dumplings (zongzi).

  This was my first time visiting the dragon fruits orchard. It is not a big orchard but I was greeted with neat rows of dragon fruit trees when I reached there. The scarlet dragon fruit bends the green cactus-like branches on the rows of supports. The dragon fruit in the orchard is all grown by natural planting methods. The owner explained dragon fruit is also known as Pitaya, the fruit must reach 100% ripeness, and the redness is bright before it is picked. He advised me to choose the larger, smoother fruit for a better taste. When picking fresh fruit, peeling off the skin, and biting into it, the taste is sweet and tangy, soft, and sticky. I was carrying two large bags of red dragon fruits (pitaya) from an orchard and began to consider how I could eat this extraordinary beauty and sweetness other than as a fruit. Everyone who enjoys baking wishes to create beautiful and delicious treats. So, I decided to make a fruit cheesecake that was not baked. In double layers, th...
