Honey Soy Glazed Chicken Drumsticks 蜜糖酱油烤鸡 ^_*

This was made last November before I packed up my kitchen and leave Melbourne.  Kept it in my draft for so long because lazy to draft the post :D It kept coming out in the recent post column when I published my post, so annoying :< Anyway, the chicken meat was really tender and Gabriel was willing to try and eat chicken drumstick for the first time! May be the honey soy sauce also one of the reason which encouraged him to try the food :) 

I have mixed sauces which left over in my fridge, and I think the way I placed the chicken drumsticks in skewers does help to bake the chicken drumsticks more evenly. Oops! I still burnt one of the chicken drumstick part, but the meat was cooked thoroughly. 

The Inland Sea-Khor Al Daid

This was the desert trip we had last month.  We went to the Inland Sea or Khor Al Daid, it is a huge inlet surrounded by giant rolling sand dunes. My first time and it will not be the last one, the desert trip impressed me so much with it beautiful natural feature.

It is important to go in convoy, as you don't know what will happen there, the car stuck in the sand is the last thing you want it to happen there. There is no tarmac road leading to Inland Sea, you drive whatever you like off road! It was so fun, we have to deflated all four wheels outside the Beach Resort before we enter into the desert. It took us 1.5 hours to drive from my place to the Beach Resort and another 45 mins from the Resort to reach Inland Sea. It is advisable to go with someone knowing the way, then it will be a smooth and easy drive or else it will be a bumpy and roller coaster trip! 

It is really a surprise for me to see such a clear and beautiful sea in the middle of desert, across the sea you can see Saudi Arabia. The beach is so soft, so soft! We can't get this type of beach any where in Singapore or Malaysia. When your feet steps on the sand, you thought you are stepping on the mud, that is how soft the sand is. 

Orange Jelly: Little Thumbs Up

The weather here is getting hotter, AC is on everyday including the kitchen area! My dish washing machine has been down for nearly a week already, the daily dishes pile up is really a chore to me after being pampered for the last four months. 

Today make a simple Orange Jelly for my son, to be precised it should be agar-agar. Agar-agar which derived from a special type of seaweed. The traditional agar-agar that I used to eat when I was small. My mum loves to make agar-agar for us in this type of shape or in a big plate than cut into diamond shape. Her agar-agar has only two flavors, either rebina or orange.  

Surprisingly, my son loves this agar-agar, I served three agar-agar to him and he refused to let me have one! I'm linking this post to Little Thumbs Up month April hosted by Anncoo Journal.
