See what have i done…

pumpkin pau

… a few weeks ago I was in Kemaman for the 2nd time. It was absolutely fantastic with the looong hour walk by the beach. The activities also included a short hike to a wonderful waterfall ever. Got to sweat like a pig – a good sign of burning calories and best of all (ironically) sleeping in a tent with the “doors and windows” wide open. It was super stuffy in there that we couldn’t take it anymore (I dunno why) and I was left with mosquito bites all over my face – so the “chickenpox-faced”. Geez… Of all my body, why on earth attacked the face? Eeee… But hey, because of that I got enlightened with an awesome remedy to get rid of the red dots. Toothpaste. You have gotta trust me !! TOOTHPASTE. I’ve tested this method on my own skin as well as my niece’s. Yes, it is chomelliciously proven to minimize the swell. 😀

Warning no. 1: Apply a very light layer of toothpaste on skin. Both adults and children. Don’t be greedy. Just do it. Warning no. 2: Make sure skin is thoroughly dry. Very very dry. You would not like to sting your own skin. Just ask me, I was the white mice. I got myself jumping up and down, rolling from one corner to another because I did both from the above.  Yes, very c.l.e.v.e.r.

… the souvenir that I received from the trip is a recipe from Siew Fong. Pumpkin pau with raisins and wolfberries. So this is my 1st time kneading a dough. Seriously, it was fun. Albeit, the pau turned out pretty dense but edible (I guess I applied too much pressure while kneading?) but don’t worry. I will not give up cooking. This is a message to Abner – ahem. Anyways, thanks to Siew Fong for the recipe. I love this light and healthy foodie.

Up Next… Cheese Ham Bun. Whoot !! 😀
