2bit Bones animated series

I was introduced to this new animated web series a few days ago, so I thought I'd share it with my readers. The series is about a tiny robot named 2 bit and his adventures.

from the website:

"...For a robot his size, 2bit is not very concerned about his own well-being when it comes to fulfilling his curiosity about his surroundings and everything in it, often much to his owner's chagrin. Despite his inherent clumsiness and general lack of tact, his intrepid spirit remains unfazed as he makes everyday an (mis)adventure....."

From the looks of it, the show is geared toward kids but I suppose it is suitable for all ages. Simply point your browser to www.2bitbones.com to visit the site or click here to view the first episode. The website is kinda weird to navigate around but you can find the important links on the top of the sidebar.

Pan Mee

Pan Mee (direct translation: plank noodles) is a kind of noodle where you use flour and water (instead of eggs) to make the dough. For the soup, which I cooked the noodles in, the ingredients are pretty simple: dried anchovies, ginger, salt, pepper and green leafy veges, preferably sauropus aka sweet leaf bush. I made this the other day and I loved it! It was so much fun making it because I didn't have all the tools at hand at that time to make the noodles and I had to use my creativity by pinching them into the desired shapes with my fingers..haha. Yes, it's a lot of work but at the end of the day, it's all worth it!

I didn't have any sauropus, I substituted it with choy sum.

Hand-made noodles, literally.

Sea Creatures

I was asked by someone (we call him BC) why do I mostly blog about food. In appreciation for the scrumptious seafood dinner he treated us to last night, this post is dedicated to address his comments.

I love sea creatures, especially prawns, crabs and fishes. I love them more when they are delivered to me on a dish. Here are some pictures of the lovely sea creatures in their not so natural habitat, taken at the restaurant we visited. ( Please excuse the poor quality of the pictures. They were taken during a spur-of-the-"Oh I think I should blog about this"-moment. )

Fish...

Prawn...

Crab. There, the three quintessential seafood delight.

Thanks for the meal, BC!

Happy New Year!!!

Hey, happy new year everybody!! Love you all..

Achievement of the day

Yay! (That's a strip of peel for one whole apple, by the way).

Extra! Extra!

She was licking her nose, hence the red thing around her mouth in the picture.

Introducing "Duo yu", literally meaning "extra" in mandarin, the oldest (8.5 years old) female canine in the family. She is no doubt the smartest dog in our household, as evident by her ability to open her own cage from both inside and outside, which kinda moots the purpose of a cage.

Naturally, she is also incredibly cunning yet adorable at the same time.
