Aquarium

I have got a tiny little aquarium.

Look inside, and you will see a fish is looking at you, too.

I can spend all day long just looking at this little guy.

Oh, but I am getting hungry.

I will have my lunch first, then resume looking.

A salad topped with Pidan

A lot of lettuce and tomatos delivered straight from a farm.

As a member of food, I cannot resist joining them.

Actually, it is a photo in a restaurant’s menu and I‘m just sitting on it.

But, I feel as if I was in the middle of a vegetable farm.

By the way, do you know what is me, Pidan?

Pidan is also known as Century egg, is a Chinese cuisine ingredient.

~~From Wikipedia~~

Century egg or pidan (Chinese: 皮蛋; pinyin: pídàn), also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, thousand-year-old egg, and millennium egg, is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing.

Comfy Shelter

No sooner had I set off than I found a nice shelter.

I feel so safe here, I want to stay here forever,,,

No! I cannot afford to enjoy such a luxury!

Today, I must go shopping for Tofu.

Caught in a shower on the way, I managed to get two nice pieces of Tofu.

One “firm plain” and another “with Green Shiso flavour”

You can eat Tofu either hot or cold, and I prefer to have it cold at a humid night like this.

Green Shiso flavour one was a great success with such a rich Shiso flavour.

Very refreshing!!!

It makes ideal summer night’s refreshments
