How to Air Fry Chai Gor (Vegetarian Goose 斋鹅)?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on How to Air Fry Chai Gor (Vegetarian Goose 斋鹅)?

Ok… Finally, I’m back. It was such a busy month and when I finally have time to update, the blog was down. It’s fixed today (finger crossed). It was all SSL problem. I hope there won’t be any other problem again.

Ever heard of or eaten “Chai Gor” aka Vegetarian Goose aka 斋鹅 ? This is my favourite vegetarian meat. Usually, it’s pan-fried but I decided to try to air fry it. WOW! Didn’t expect it to puff up with such a crunch. Definitely need to give this a try, less oil is needed. Try it out. Quite nice to eat especially with porridge or just eat it on its own.

Easy 3-Ingredient Melt in The Mouth UFO Condensed Milk Cookies | No Mixer, Egg, Sugar Needed

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Easy 3-Ingredient Melt in The Mouth UFO Condensed Milk Cookies | No Mixer, Egg, Sugar Needed

Here’s an extremely easy cookie using condensed milk that you can try. Only 3 ingredients.

Ingredients:
125g softened butter (best with salted butter)
100ml sweetened condensed milk
2 1/2 cup corn starch

Instructions:
1. Mix butter and condensed milk.
2. Gradually add corn starch and mix. You might not need all of it. When it’s no longer sticky and sticking to anything, it’s ready. The dough should be soft and smooth.
3. Shape it to your desired shape (can even pump it, I shaped it like an UFO) on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
4. Preheat your oven.
5. Bake at 150 degree Celsius for 25-30 minutes
6. Let it cool and store in an airtight container.

Have fun trying!

ASMR Unbox & Quick Review of Wireless, No Battery, Rechargeable, Affordable, Silent Optical Mouse

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on ASMR Unbox & Quick Review of Wireless, No Battery, Rechargeable, Affordable, Silent Optical Mouse

All my old mouses gave up on me at about the same time last time. I bought a new one from Shopee when it was having its 10/10 campaign. I bought it for less than RM10 (if I recall correctly, I did get some discounts by using some Shopee coins).

I’ve been using it now for about 5 months. It’s still serving me pretty well. I charge it about every 10 days. I’m quite a heavy user. It’s on for at least 12 hours a day. When the cursor started to slow down or it is not that responsive anymore, it’s time to charge.

You can use it while charging but make sure you are using a data cable. The in-built battery capacity is 500mAh. If the mouse is sleeping while you are not using it, just wake it up by scrolling the scroll wheel. The mouse will also go off when you switch off your computer.

All my old mouses(Logitech) lasted for at least 7 years while the oldest one lasted over 10 years. Not sure how long this mouse will last me. If you are looking for a mouse that does its job and doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket, you can consider this mouse. Here’s the direct link to the mouse I bought on Shopee https://invol.co/cl6rnrz

Roxy Tasik Biru & Siniawan Night Market | Ever Thought of Celebrating Birthday Here?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Roxy Tasik Biru & Siniawan Night Market | Ever Thought of Celebrating Birthday Here?

How long have you not been to Tasik Biru, Bau? It’s been years for me. I think the last time I was here was back in 2017 or is it 2018? See… Too long till I cannot remember. Then in 2020, everything was closed. Everyone just stayed home.

Two weekends ago, it was my brother’s birthday. Too bad he couldn’t come back, stuck in Singapore. We decided to just drive around and ended up in Bau. We took some photos and videos to show him instead. Hahaha… If he’s back, if the pandemic doesn’t exist, we might celebrate his birthday here.


Here are some of the structures found in Bau town. I quite like the one on the right with flying birds. The one on the left is pitcher plants and gold miners. Bau has a history of being a gold mining town.

Recently, at the end of 2021, a new hotel was opened. It’s called the Roxy Tasik Biru.

Prior to that, this is the only signboard you would see. Minus those infrastructures at the back. This lake has a lot of stories and mysteries of its own. You can always Google it 😉


Now, you can find floating chalets and eatery there along with the fountain and floating platform that let you cross the lake to get to the hotel.


Water activities such as boat rides and paddling are available. Need to pay of course. Can feed fish too. The new additions to the lake give some pop of colours to the lake. Previously, it was all shades of greens and blues.


Look at the mountain there. Whenever you see this mountain, you know that you’re in Bau. It’s called Mount Krian aka Kerian(if I’m not mistaken). I didn’t know this place is Sarawak Delta Geopark though haha… Only know now *LOL* Don’t think I was aware of it even when I was working in my previous company ;p I think the signboard was only built recently. Looks rather new.


Truth to be told I prefer this side of the view. Never paid attention to how beautiful the view here is. Who would expect this view is just right here, so near to home?

We were there for one hour or less. Then we made our way back to Kuching. Along the way, we stopped at Siniawan Night Market.

I’ve not been here for so long. The last time I came here was for work. I remember there was one time when we celebrated a friend’s birthday here but don’t remember exactly when. The weekend night market is basically a mini food fair. Have you ever celebrate birthday here?


Since we were there at 4.30pm, there was no crowd and people were still preparing for the night. In fact, we had no plan to dine here. Just want to have a look. It’s been a while.


However, we did buy some local Chinese kue home for dinner. There you go… My quick little unplanned trip to Bau. Still pretty much staying at home, not going anywhere.

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on ASMR Unbox and Cook MAGGI® PAZZTA™ Cheese Macaroni and Mushroom Penne

Had the opportunity to try out MAGGI® PAZZTA™ Cheese Macaroni and Mushroom Penne. It’s not sponsored. It is one of the prizes I got from joining Maggi contest. Here’s the unboxing of it:

It’s my first time seeing MAGGI® PAZZTA™ Cheese Macaroni and Mushroom Penne. My first time eating it too. Here are the unboxing and cooking videos.

It’s quite salty. The taste is pretty much expected. Just like any other instant pasta. Having it once in a while is kind of fun.

Have you tried it before?
