Salmon with XO Sauce

Just tried cook this dish found on newspaper yesterday. I just used the vegetarian XO sauce which still left in my fridge instead using normal XO sauce.As per this recipe: 400g Salmon, 2 spoons XO sauce, 10 small onions, 2 tea spoon ‘Hua Diao’ Chinese cooking wine, ½ tea spoon sugar, 1 tea spoon soy sauce.Fried the onions, then add in OX sauce, follow by salmon fish.
Add in the pre-made sauces while the salmon turn golden/ yellow color and cook in a fast way and that’s it!Mmmm..nice! Finally I have a new dish to cook!

White Button Mushroom

Bought this white mushrooms from Cold Storage Super Market, and cook with my ginger chicken ingredients.Hmm….white button mushroom in this dish was good to me, I only feel the great unique taste of this mushroom while the time I bite on it; not like black China mushrooms that usually merge its taste in the cooking sauces.

Hmm... Different mushrooms added in this dish will having different outcome. Now I realized that for this particular dish was only suitable to cook with one type of mushroom instead adding assorted mushrooms.

Just add one more vegetables for my “lunch + dinner set” :)

Hia hia hia!The building of the new add-on shopping mall on Meritus Mandarin Hotel Singapore is on the move.
Due to the economy crisis, Orchard’s crowd was much lesser, only saw some busking artists down the street.Partial of the new look of Paragon after renovation.O! This is one new thing that belong the 'Make over of Orchard Road Project', nice artistic glass! Not sure whether they will add onj some more stuffe on that, because I see this glass was very fragile.This ‘mini column’ starting from the pedestrian walk from Border bookshop to Forum Shopping Mall was seen since last year’s November until today, I still can’t figure out what is that and what stuff they are going to put on in these ‘Make Over project’

Ginger Pork Belly Slice with Button Mushroom

Bought these assorted button mushrooms from NTUC supermarket. I try to cook with pork belly slices with the ingredients just like my ginger chicken.Hmm..the taste was the same..just the pork belly slightly hard, thought I should adjust the power of the heat and the right timing to put the meat in to the work.I enjoy cooking because it just like painting, you need to practice, need lots experiences and knowledges.

Fake Artist?

As an event artist or entertainer, we know we should be work professionally to ensure our quality and represent. All of us were not born with any special skills or professional; all of us was trained, learnt hard, always practice and work hard plus our passion to present out art during our booking hour.

Anyway, sometime we can finds a minor group of entertainer who having attitude problem, late for the event, fake as a professional and etc.

I not a type who like to insult any people, but recently I did came across a China calligrapher who did not know speak English at all who in the event, was ‘taught’ be a local senior Chinese guest about how to write a correct Chinese word during the event, in front many people!

This Singaporean senior guest claimed that this China artist was written his name in a totally wrong Chinese word as well as the sequences of the calligraphy stokes. He just grab the China artist’s calligraphy pen and show him how to write a correct Chinese word! Seems he had giving this China artist a very hard time!

This incident told us, as an entertainer, as a professional, we must always correct our mistake, always try our best to improve ourselves, no way for us to take anything for granted.

Street Art?

While I heading towards Bugis Mrt Station from Sim Lim Square after bought some computer parts, I was attracted by this ‘Human Statue’ artist from China outside one of the Bugis Mrt entrance.When I look at him one more time, I just realized that this China busking actually is to promote or showing his ‘Falun Gong’ stuffs. There was a China lady giving related leaflet to the pedestrians passing by.I was thinking if this China guy doing busking, that should be not bad. Haahaa!

Fortune Telling at Event

Fortune telling for event is one of my favorite items. It need my portrait drawing skill and silhouette cutting skill in faces observation and related metaphysics knowledge I had learn in the pass. The requirement for an fortune teller in entertaining service was always only talk the good things and not the bad thing, because we do not like to affect the guess’ happy mood who mainly come to the event to enjoy everything.

As a fortune teller who work in an entertainer role, I usually add in some entertaining ingredient and yet emphasizing on character telling especially the strong point and weak point of the guess and give a little advice for them about how to improve their weak point or any blind point they might be unable to see themselves.

As a fortune teller, I prefer to see myself as a healer that tries my best to help people during then reading session. I always try my best to improve myself, because you have to be firm enough by having great knowledge to support your points, moreover sometimes you might be meeting highly intelligent and top level guess light some kind of CEO, chair persons of big companies etc.

Fortune telling / Metaphysics is a very unique science that giving me unlimited funs; it was a tough but interesting science to me. Metaphysics need lots of reading, courses and practical experiences, that is only part one, the part 2 is you need a lots of common senses and the understanding of many kinds of living and personal experience from almost all kind of area.
