Guilin gao, 龟苓膏.... Halal or not?

As it's getting sunny in Singapore, people are finding ways to cool themselves down...especially Chinese has many kinds of herbs, desserts, soups and drinks recipes to help that.

Well, it just right time for me to share about my recent finding about the guiling gao. 

According to "Mr Google" (again...hehe! my favourite research tool).... Guiling, 龟苓 is a kind of turtle called 金錢龜 (jin qian gui).

Guiling gao is made of the turtle and some Chinese herbs into jelly form.
This to me, is not Halal.
Unless, there is really report saying that it is actually Halal... please let me know! thank you! I will like to know why and how it is so.
Otherwise, I will just stick to the usual Chrysanthemum or barley drink.
:D

The quest of Pasta :D

I've been craving for pastas since my first trimester... everytime i think of it...I will pop by Coffeebean, Pastamania or try to scout for nice pasta at the foodcourt.
Here are some of what I have eaten so far....

Laksa Yong Tau Foo by Yummy Yong Tau Foo @ JEMS

Hi all! It's been a while since I last updated my blog.
Been really bz, working, home, eating, drinking etcetc. :D
Well I just had some YUMMY Yong Tau Foo laksa and I just had to squeeze out time to share about it.

I feel that the freshness of the ingredients is most important, YUMMY did it!

Next is the soup base...they have laksa and of course the non-spicy yong tau foo soup and you can have it dry too.

All of them are great!

This in the picture, the laksa gravy is thick, fragrant... spicyness just right for me.

As usual you can choose rice, noodles or even without them.

I love it!
