Mango Sago

9 Comments

My husband has been asking me to make mango sago for him. Today, we just bought some fresh and sweet mangoes. So I decided to make it today.

1. Boil some water in a deep pot. Then put sago in water. Heat with high heat for around 6-7 mins till sago becomes completely transparent.

2. Soak sago in cold water, which will make them more elastic and taste better. Then drain them.

3. Cut mango into small chunks. Place them in a bowl.

4. Place sago over mango.

5. Add in 2 tsp honey. And pour in enough milk or coconut milk.

Ready to serve.


My husband loves it.

Yummy Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Leave a comment


I used chicken drumsticks. They are small and easy to fry.

Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper over chicken. Massage them a bit.

Place them in a bowl, pour in enough Buttermilk.


Marinate for at least 30 mins.

Here is the Frying powder I used.


It already contains seasoning and spices, that’s why I only used a little salt and black pepper to marinate chicken.

Dip marinated chicken drumsticks in the frying powder. Then dip buttermilk and frying powder again to let chicken double coated by powder.

Fry chicken in oil till golden brown.


Turns out that double coated fried chicken taste more crispy outside and tender inside. Very delicious.

Mixed Vegetables Stir-fry 

2 Comments

This dish has a beautiful Chinese name, which is “He Tang Xiao Chao”. “He tang” means pond full of lotus, and “Xiao Chao” means stirfry. The dish is very colorful and pleasant to the eyes.

This dish requires many different vegetables. I always like lotus root, black fungus, snow peas, carrot and kernels.

1. Put lotus root slices and carrot slices in a deep pot. Pour in enough cold water and add in some salt. Turn on the stove.

2. When the water boils, add in trimmed snow peas. Boil for another 2-3 mins.

3. At last, add in black fungus and kernels. Boil for another 1 min.

4. Rinse all the vegetables and drain.

5. Heat a little oil in the pan. Sauté chopped garlic.

6. Put all the drained vegetables in the pan. Stir fry for 2-3 mins.

7. Sprinkle salt and stir fry for another minute. Then ready to serve.
