Trying out Habi's Ashwaganda Gummies!

 Trying out Habi's Ashwaganda Gummies!






I've been eyeing in taking Ashwaganda for sometime now because I think (no evidence, just a gut feeling) I got high cortisol levels.


I bought this in Boots for 10.00+ GBP.







Asda Cafe Brunch!

 Asda Cafe Brunch!


I had my day off yesterday and was a bit lazy so I got on the bus in the afternoon. I went to few shops to look around and bought some stuff and didn't realized that it is already 14.30. I went to my usual Filipino restaurant and sadly they are cleaning so I went to Subway or Dominos, but when I went there I don't think that they're open still so I just went to a nearby Asda. Luckily, I saw their cafe as I was famish already, didn't have any food.


Their Brunch is around 7.00+ which is much more cheaper than that of another British restaurant. I liked the little balls there and they served it hot.

Like those of Kowloon Teahouse's Chili Garlic!

 Like those of Kowloon Teahouse's Chili Garlic!





If you are not yet aware (or maybe I didn't tell it here... yet), I'm actually mad for Kowloon Teahouse's Chili Garlic. I absolutely loved them! I was always wondering how they make them. Though it's a bummer that they just provide a dollop/ half a teaspoon (or less!).

Whenever I went home, I would purchase a siomai from them and it is the reason why I always go to back.

Another bummer is that there are no more kiosks in the MRT Ayala where I always purchase them.


However, this is a breaking news today.

Yesterday, I bought a chili oil in TESCO because I want to do a better dipping sauce for the Har gow or Hakao. I meant to combine it with soy sauce and others, but when I taste tested it first, I'm  absolutely surprised that there is umami. When I read the label, it has already spices, soy sauce and other stuff in it.

What I purchased was no other than the Chiu Chow Chili Oil of the brand Lee Kum Kee.


When I tried it to see how spicy it is, the taste seems oddly familiar in my palate. Then I thought of Kowloon.

An idea struck. I added Hoisin sauce. And I'm in heaven because I struck gold! It might not be the same as of Kowloon s but this is my sauce. I just need to add lots of fried golden garlic next time!
