Wrap | Dark Lord

欢迎回来！！！

Day 3 of my Hong Kong trip!
(Here are Day 1’s and Day 2’s…)

After catching a horror flick on one of our hotel’s TV channels while preparing (yes they showed it during morning), we proceeded in making our way to a famous tourist spot.
Changing trains at one of the MTR stations… Reached the station! Surroundings of the tourist spot… I’m sure by now you would have already known what place this is.
Yes yes…
Introducing……. WONG TAI SIN TEMPLE ! ! !

Address: 2 Chuk Yuen Village, Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon
Station: Wong Tai Sin (Exit B2)
Hours: Daily 7am – 530pm
Contact: (852) 2327-8141

I want the black/bronze dragon as my pet! Statues of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs! Took lotsa pictures of the temple…
Pretty infrastructure with all the intricate details! And I went for fortune-telling!!!
There were like hundreds of them operating there, so I simply chose based on my feel.
Initially I chose this very old and pleasant-looking grandma, but sadly she only helps to decipher those Chinese Fortune Sticks (解签) and doesn’t do fortune-telling.
I like that she’s honest about it.
In the end I decided on this elderly grandpa called Uncle Chan (陈叔).
I was glad I went with my instincts and chose him.
It wasn’t crowded at all that day but he had another customer when I reached so I had to wait quite awhile for my turn.
I don’t exactly like those who’ll wave/signal you to go over to their stalls, so usually I won’t consist them. Conclusion from the fortune-telling:
Overall not bad!!
I hope the new year comes soon. Last year hadn’t been rather good, which Uncle Chan also mentioned, and he told me that this year will be very good.
We shall see!!
Meantime on my own part, trying to hypnotise myself in staying optimistic!

So famished after the temple visit.
Lunch please………..
Mix Grill / Abalone Fried Rice
So hungry I don’t remember what was the Hong Kong cafe’s name.
Anyways the food was mediocre so don’t bother. To adhere to the “Tourist-sy” theme for the day, we visited yet another famous tourist spot!
En route to the place….
About a 10-minute walk from Central station.
Nice little small church spotted along the way. Tadah!!!
A place which I’m sure many many of you had already been to before.
This’ my 1st time there!! The interiors while waiting for the Peak Tram.
I swear I almost murdered a bunch of very rowdy and loud tourists.
Let’s not name which country they were from. Victoria Peak!!!
We bought the package that came with a round-trip peak tram ticket, as well as an admission ticket to the Sky Tower.
Felt like on top of the world!
*takes in the scenery and screams to myself* “YOU CAN HANDLE ANY SHIT!!!”
Rather foggy that day…. Climb at your own risk…
Didn’t get to take any night shots from the top.
Had ice-cream in this cold weather though!!
After a couple of hours there, time to leave!
Hello Mr. Operator!
Back to the McDonald’s near our hotel for dinner!
They got rice and wrap dishes here!!
And pork chop and mushroom corn soup haha!
It actually tasted not bad!
Plus they happened to be having the Monopoly game thingy!
I only won a small fries I think. *chuckles*
Night trip to the supermart…..
Snacks for friends and family back home.
They filled up my whole cabin bag!
Episode 4 will be out real soon! Stay tuned!!! *juggles snacks*

HARLOW!!!

Welcome back, and to the 3rd series of our Mad Season 1!!!
As can be guessed from the heading, this 3rd series will be about Cooking!!!
In the different episodes, Ving will try to cook various dishes but without much recipes!
So mostly will be based on gut feel/past experiences/limited knowledge hahaha…….

For today!!!
Ving tried to prepare a western-style dinner of wraps and soup!
Firstly, grocery shopping for ingredients………
Of coz this whole lot isn’t just for one meal (I’m stocking up the fridge!!).

Ingredients needed:
Wraps / Mushrooms / Hotdogs / Picnic Ham / Red-skin Potatoes / Corn / Mozzarella Cheese (shredded) / Lettuce / Onions / Milk / Basil / Salsa Sauce / Butter

Optional:
Grapes / Cherry Tomatoes / Sparkling Juice or Wine

1st Step:
Cut up all the ingredients needed. *Chop chop chop*
Here are some other ingredients already cut up for the wrap’s filling, namely Mushrooms / Hotdogs / Picnic Ham.
As well as Corn for Corn-on-the-Cob!
2nd Step:
Cooking potato soup. Place the chopped up Potatoes into a pot, together with half a carton of Milk as well as the Mozzarella Cheese.
(Using Mozzarella Cheese will make the soup have a light cheese taste. If you prefer a stronger cheese taste, you can choose Parmesan Cheese instead.)
3rd Step:
After boiling for awhile, add in some finely chopped Basil leaves to the soup. Leave it to boil slowly while you prepare the wraps.
4th Step:
Pre-heat oven to 180°C for couple of minutes. Place some Mozzarella Cheese on a Wrap, then put it into the oven that has been pre-heated. Heat the Wrap for about 5 minutes.
5th Step:
While the Wrap’s getting heated in the oven, stir-fry the filling for it.
Instead of using cooking oil, I used some Butter for a change.
After the Butter melted, throw the cut Onions into the pot and stir-fry.
Then throw the Mushrooms, Hotdogs and Picnic Ham in and stir-fry all together.
6th Step:
Apply some Butter and Salt all over the Corn, and wrap it up with Aluminium Foil. Heat it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
7th Step:
SERVE ALL!!!
Verdict:
It’s yummy!!! Hahaha…..
The whole process took about 1.5 hour, including preparing the ingredients. It’s actually quite easy to make, so everyone should give this a shot!!!
