  • pork fillet, cut and seasoned with some salt, pepper, sugar and light soya sauce
  • purple cabbage, sliced
  • Japanese cucumber, peeled and cut
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Dash of sea salt
  • Olive oil + honey, mixed 
Method
  1. Pan fry the pork fillet till cooked and tender.
  2. In a warm salad bowl, mix in the cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes and a dash of salt.
  3. Toss in the pork fillet, mix well.
  4. Drizzle on the olive oil and honey mixture.
  5. Serve immediately.

      Yes, pork is rarely used in a salad... just thought to use something different!

      Me too. Had this warm salad in one of the cafes in KL not too long ago. But homemade is definitely much cheaper and more value for money!

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge. Snow Swallow Dessert  ~   天然野生雪燕 Ingredients 8 gm Snow Swallow gums 10 gm red dates 10 gm goji berries 20 gm dried longan Rock or piece sugar to taste 1 litre water Pandan leaves (optional) Method Soak the Snow Swallow gums in plenty of water for at least...
