kimchi making ~ take 1

i really love to eat kimchi .. so since ... so i decided try making them myself :D


the ingredients


get ready ~ cut the cabbage half


spread salt all over each leaf

salting process part 1 ~ I leave it for 1.5hours

salting process part 2 ~ turnover the cabbage so all area can be salted evenly. leave it for another 1.5hrs

during the salting process, I prepared the rest of the ingredients. being a housewife is really tough... chopping the onions is really saddening (i keep tearing ^^)

- on the 1st pic, i did not include chinese parsley. y? becos i forget to buy spring onion. so while doing this, i went to ntuc to buy spring onion, but oredi sold out. so i asked my aunt whether can use chinese parsley as substitute ~ she said OK :D

next, i mixed chili powder, chincalok with fish sause.... then i add on the rest of the ingredients and mixed them again with some sugar syrup

tada ~~~my kimchi paste is now ready *EGGCited*

the cabbage is salt-ed so i washed them 3times under running water. now u can see the cabbage has becomes soft

now i can spread kimchi paste onto the cabbage and remember on each and every pc of the leaf

oh yeah!!! kimchi is now almost ready :DDDDD

fridge u go.... for fermenting process.... very very *EGGcited* now... hope the fermentation is successful and my kimchi turns out well

before i end my post, i must really thanked my coll, Ms.Frances Tan for guiding me thru the process, bring me to buy the ingredients and gave me a link to learn from ^^

the link is here ~ really useful.

*praying that u turn well tmr*

look wat they hv.. they have 2 group of concert tee; 1 by Converse and 1 by the band themselves, thou both are designed by them. the 1st 3 tees on this standee are by Converse & the 4th tee is by the band ~ same design in 2 colorways.

I bought the 1st 2 design on day 1 and bought the 3rd design on the 2nd day. But when i return home, I found I hv 2pcs of the 2nd design.... is my fault, i din chk after buyin :(

for the concert tee by the band, I bought the white version & bought both towels as well

a stream emerges from the Geothermal Valley


but unfortunately, the Geothermal Valley is closed for renovation.. so sad and this is the 2nd time Jo missed the place. tink the last time, she came on a Mon which is closed on every Mon... so remember to avoid Mon next time.


I muz come here next time.. hehe..... see more pic here

so we continue our search for a hotsprings to bathe.. so we stop by the stream along the way to soak our feet *hot* *hot*

we look ard a few places but they are either too ex or indoors... I wan outdoor hotsprings so I can look at the sky while bathing.. hehe... so we end up at Millennium Hot Spring which is an outdoor public hot spring. At NT$40 plus an additional NT$20 if you store your stuff in a locker.

actually photo-taking is not allowed inside but ... haha... but cant resist. can u see I labelled the degree of hotness in the pic

this is the hot-test pool... see my label... i tink 1 is 39degree and another 1 is 40-41 degree, i can't remember cos it's too long oredi... only Wenli and me challenged the 40degree pool but for awhile only cos really toooooooooo hot. if not we really cooking ourselves.
