Special thanks to Issac and Cecilia for being the judges.

We had a very interesting weekend.

On Saturday, 19^th July, we had our very first event for PboX which is Cooking Day. Finally, the day has come for the Angels to show off their culinary skills.

Here’s a brief rundown :

1pm Bon Apetit!

Cook: Amber

Dish: Baked honey sweet potato dessert and also nian gao wrapped in wanton skin.

According to Amber, nian gao is usually prepared during Chinese New Year as a symbol of prosperity.

Cook: Eric

Dish: Deep fried dumplings and spring rolls (it’s prepacked because Eric can’t cook, good effort though)

According to Eric, during Spring festival, dumplings and spring rolls are one of the main dishes prepared for the celebration.

Cook: Nina

Dish: Apple Pie and Pancakes. She also brought some mini Stroopwaffles and licorice from the Netherlands.

According to Nina, apple pie is sweet with a tinge of cinnamon. Whereas, the pancakes are eaten with pancake syrup.

Cook: Rabbit

Dish: Ma Po Tou Fu and Yangzhou fried rice

According to Rabbit, Ma Po Tou Fu originates from Sichuan Province in China. The tou fu is a little spicy and delicious. The fried rice is yummy with mix vegetables, eggs and shrimps which gives it a fragrant smell.

Karaoke at Neway

2nd July 2008

Today Eu Gin took us to the karaoke. Much alike the ones in Taiwan, and there are even many popular songs that are sung by Taiwan singers. I found something interesting about the cultural differences. As for Nina, since she’s a Dutch girl, in her country there are many karaoke bars. Many people were drunk and they will sing on the stage. That is to say, they will sing before many strangers. Compared with European, Asia people prefer to sing in one small room with friends.

Haircut service by Wella Professionals

17th July 2008

Six Wella Professionals' representatives come by Pusat Penjagaan Kanak-kanak Cacat Taman Megah to perform haircut services for the children.

 

Regardless of the hot weather, their sweats and efforts eventually brought smiles to the children. We want to thank you for supporting this project.

Thank you, Wella Professionals
