Dessert - Homemade White Fungus Soup

Went to look for white fungus as it is said to have good benefits: it is said to be effective in nourishing the lungs, and contains collagen to firm the skin. It is also a mild laxative for constipation patients.

It's nicknamed the "Poor Man's Bird Nest".. :P

So ok.. went to buy it, a few huge fungus for just $2.. :)
Got the idea of cooking it but there is no enough ingredients like gingko nuts, ginseng, lotus nut, longan, rock sugar etc.. So just make do with whatever available at home.. -_-"

First, I soaked the dried white fungus, until it expanded.. then cut them into bite sized..
Then, I boil the chrysanthemum flowers first to get the base of the soup taste, then add wolfberry, red dates..
Put in the sugar and white fungus in and let it boil a little more..
After turning off the fire, I put in rose bud and cover the pan ..

The whole process, from the soaking is quite fast.. about 30-45 min hehe

Here is my first attempt to make it.. Will improve the next time when I have all the ingredients :P

Lunch - Ayam Ojolali @ Lucky Plaza

Have been wanting to try this outlet grilled chicken ...
This is the interior look,... very small but busy place
Happy soda.. basically its rose syrup with soda water.. I like this :)
Es Ojolali, similar to happy soda but using plain water and there is coconut slices on it..
Grilled chicken set.. It's very nice.. Have the distinct Indonesian lime and sweet soy sauce BBQ taste on the chicken..
Fried pomfert set.. This is just plainly fried.. to be enjoyed with the side chili and sauce which I forgot to take picture hehehe
