It’s finally Friyay! I can finally get an extra 2 hours of sleep for the next two days.
I’m going to make this post a short one coz I want to catch up on reading news that I’ve missed the past few days, do some online shopping and if I don’t doze off in front of my PC, I’ll start writing the first para of my next article, which I hope can be dished out for submission to my boss by Monday.
Sherilyn made Strawberry And Sweet Red Bean Mochi (Ichigo Daifuku). It was her second attempt and a success. She failed in her first attempt and discarded the dough. She tried making the dough again the next day and this time, got it right. Mochi filled with a huge sweet strawberry and homemade red bean paste. She used dental floss to slice the mochi for a neat cut.These Japanese mochi balls are almost perfect – soft and chewy; the red bean paste isn’t too sweet and the fresh strawberry gives the mochi a refreshing boost of flavor. It isn’t too difficult to make this dessert. If you have a potluck party to attend and want a dessert that will knock off everyone’s socks, try this Japanese mochi. These truffle-like sweet treats are really indulgent.Left – mochi coated with soy bean powder.Haru sits on my fitball and looks out, people and bird watching. When her sisters are in school and there’s no one to annoy her, she’s at complete peace, just like me ?.
I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛
