After a hard day work, oops, half day work, the only time I enjoy in the office is the HAPPY HOUR-Ringggggg.....LUNCH TIME. I enjoy the food prepared with love-my love to food,to my bro,sis & parents.They are the people who have to eat my 爱心便当 ( always decorate nice nice but I know I know sometimes taste yucky).







My Lunch Box for today : 26 Oct 2009

This Jin Q Pumpkin stripes is actually made into abacus shape, just like the Hakka Abacus ( 客家算盘子).

( *Ting* I've a great idea, make the Hakka Abacus using yam resembles silver and this Pumpkin Abacus =gold, can make up a dish called 金银满盘 for Chinese New Year :)).

I just wanna try a different shapes to taste the texture.So, making into stripes, my initial idea is to make it slim like 老鼠粉 but I was too tired and wanna to zzz and so it turns out to be like this .
