Hello February
Brunch
A new beginning on Feb 1. Enjoying my brunch by toasting 2 slices of the Steamed Chinese Pumpkin Yeasted Cake with Red Dates and Raisins toppings which I freeze.
Then spread with Butter on top with a slice of KRAFT Cheese with 60% less Fat. Paired with a cup of Nescafe GOLD with Full Cream Milk without Sugar. Happy with this combination.
Making Burdock Root and Dried Longan Drink
I just spent half an hour to make this Burdock Root and Dried Longan Tea.
First I pare away the skin from a 5 inches Burdock root, then sliced to thin pieces. Rinse 1/4 cup Dried Longa and boil these 2 items with 10 cups water in my VISION Glass Pot. When it comes to a rapid boil lower heat and continue simmering for 30 mins. The drink is ready to serve hot or chill in the fridge.
BENEFITS:
1) Burdock root, long used in Chinese medicine, some herbal medicine specialists believe that the drink can improve your immune system, lower blood pressure, heal a damaged liver, and even prevent or treat cancer. It is also used to reverse the signs of aging and improve hair health.
2) Dried Longan is to strengthen the liver, spleen and kidneys. Longan tea is calming, in a similar way to chamomile. That may help with respiration, insomnia and anxiety. The fruit is high in vitamin A, meaning your eye and skin health will benefit.

Last Night Dinner
Last night lazy to cook. Just put Shisamo Fish (love this fish, full of roes), Siew Mai and two Big Paos from the freezer to the oven. Set 200 degrees Celsius and bake for 15 mins. A satisfying dinner for us.
In my Kitchen
In my cozy kitchen, thinking what to cook for my loved ones for lunch.
Lunch
Enjoying my home cooked YAKI SOBA (Japanese Hawker Style Fried Yellow Noodle) as lunch for my loved ones. I am happy to see my Samurai had 3 servings. He said, “Oishii” (delicious in Japanese)!
I treasure Friendship
Looking forward to a good friend Lynn BK Lee’s visit. One year we have not met. I treasure friendship.
Some Sharing-detox food
當人類在享受現代化便利生活的同時，也正曝露在許多有害物質之中，經由水、空氣、食物或是自皮膚吸收，例如食品用鋁箔裝盛或烹飪，使用烘焙膨鬆劑、殺菌劑和化妝品，在不知不覺中就會讓重金屬囤積在我們體內，輕則有頭疼、拉肚子、疲倦的症狀及加速老化，重則出現言語障礙、失智甚至致癌等病症。
汞、鋁、砷都是會堆積在人體的重金屬
這些堆積在體內會為害健康與生命的重金屬分別有會導致肌肉痛、貧血與動脈硬化的「鉛」，會造成疲勞、暈眩、掉髮與語言障礙的「汞」，會出現貧血、肝腎功功能變差與失智症狀的「鋁」，以及會引發嘔吐、下痢、皮膚色素沈澱與致癌的「砷」。
多吃8大排毒食物，有助去除體重金屬
面對這些潛藏在身邊而又避不掉的重金屬汙染威脅，如何排毒就成了每個人必須思考與解決的重要問題。現在非常流行採用「蔬食排毒法」，既簡單又無副作用。其實，在我們平日常吃的蔬菜中，就有8種具有強大的排毒功效。
海帶
海帶中的褐藻膠因含水率高，在腸內能形成凝膠狀物質，有助於排除毒素物質，阻止人體吸收鉛、鎘等重金屬，排除體內放射性元素。
番茄
番茄含有豐富的維它命C，而維它命C能排解各種重金屬毒，像是鉻、鋁、鉛等，而番茄有很好的抗氧化還能原能力，可與有毒物質結合，降低體內的重金屬含量。
胡蘿蔔
胡蘿蔔是有效的解毒食物，與體內的汞離子結合之後，能有效降低血液中汞離子的濃度，加速體內汞離子的排出。
大蒜
大蒜中所含的大蒜素，可與鉛結合成為無毒的化合物，能有效防治鉛中毒。此外，大蒜還能提高肝臟的解毒功能，阻斷亞硝胺致癌物質的合成。
地瓜
地瓜含有豐富的膳食纖維，可以吸附食物中的有毒物質，並迅速將毒物帶離腸道，能減緩體內對有毒物質的吸收，是體內環保的好食材。
綠豆
綠豆性寒味甘，可解酒毒、野菌毒、砒霜毒、有機磷農藥毒、鉛毒、丹石毒、草木諸毒、鼠藥毒等毒，促進機體的正常代謝。
南瓜
南瓜中富含的果膠，可以清除體內重金屬和部分農藥，故有防癌防毒的作用；南瓜中富含的鈷是合成胰島素必需的微量元素。南瓜還能消除致癌物質亞硝酸胺的突變作用。
黑木耳
黑木耳中的植物膠質有較強的吸附力，可將殘留在人體消化系統內的雜質排出體外，起到清胃滌腸的作用。黑木耳對體內難以消化的穀殼、金屬屑等具有溶解作用。
