Do you like chewies? When I was a kid, I used to love these. They’re like gummy bears, only softer and geometric shaped and coated with sugar. They literally melt in your mouth without much chewing. So it’s easy to OD on these because you can go through them so fast .

I used to kid my nephews and nieces by telling them these are muscle supplements and that after eating them, they will develop superhero powers. Actually they do! Kids sorta get hyper after consuming too  much sugar, don’t they? That’s why eating a bunch of these will have them running in circles.

During the festive new year, there’s a never-ending supply of goodies to eat at every house we visit. This year, when we went to visit an uncle, he was entertaining a slew of visitors and he was running a ‘full house’ literally.

We threaded out way through the house greeting everyone along the way and soon discovered we couldn’t even find a place to sit although my aunt kept inviting us to sit down. Where?

Thankfully the kids went out the back and saw a couple of ping pong tables in the yard which we quickly converted to a place where we could gather round and sit down. My aunt brought out the bottles of goodies and we were good to go .

How do you usually eat your curry? With plain white rice and a veggie dish? With naan, roti canai or roti pratha (Indian bread)? Yeah, I guess that would roughly be what most of us might be used to.

But since I’m not a big fan of rice, I prefer to eat my curry with toast. It’s incredibly yummy and makes a great breakfast too. Not one of those colon cleansing foods but I assure you, once you try it, you’ll swear by it .

Once a year, during Chinese New Year, I allow my kids to drink Jolly Shandy which during the year, is a ‘controlled’ item in my household .

So you can imagine how my kids took the opportunity to max out on my generosity. They consumed a whole crate of it in the past month!!

I swear they won’t be laughing when I make them go through a mandatory colon cleanse, I tell ya. They’re going to wish they hadn’t been so crazy and polished off a whole crate when I wasn’t looking!

Have you seen anything this cute? Guess that they are?

Petite Bride & Groom Gourmet Apples

I had a hard time guessing that these are, in fact, wedding chocolate caramel apples decorated to replicate the wedding couple, dressed in a bridal gown and tuxedo. Fabulous, aren’t they? I wonder how they made the criss-cross effect for the wedding gown and the smooth chocolate effect that looks like it could fade stretch marks. The petite size apples are perfect as wedding favors while the jumbo apples are popular as table decorations.
