A Taste of New Zealand

>> Sunday, March 6, 2016


Today we attended the free orientation seminar for New Zealand Immigration at Grand Caprice. It was fully packed, and there were three Kiwis who oriented us on the different schools to enroll in. Well, it was more like selling their schools, hahahaha.. Reminds me of my job as GCPO and Marketing Officer in a school I previously worked in. 


Anyway, after the talks, we had the question and answer portion, and chocolates were given to those who can give the correct answers. We had fun before the open forum. 


After dinner, we tried the chocolate.. True enough, there were Peanuts in the Milk Chocolate bar.. 


It's our first time to try New Zealand chocolate, and it was okay. Quite similar to a local brand that we sometimes eat. Thank you Mr. Joel Angon, answering the question correctly means I was really attentive in all talks, hahahaha.. Most importantly, Lili was happy. She was the one who kept telling me to answer a question so we could win a chocolate.. hehehe

Anyway, I wonder if there are gibson acoustic guitars for sale in New Zealand. Buying from there may be cheaper than buying abroad. Considering, the person who wants to buy one is already in NZ. And he said he will send some chocolates too.. hahaha

Sunday Special Fried Rice




Today I felt inspired to cook fried rice. I was thinking of something like those that we ate in Singapore, but with my own twist, and according to what's available in our pantry. I checked and these are some of what I prepared. 

Chopped 1 head of Onion, and minced 1 head of Garlic. Beat 4 eggs and prepared one day old rice. Other ingredients include Pineapple tidbits, Chickpea, extra virgin Olive oil, Saffron, Green and Yellow cracked peas, Lentils, dried Sweet Basil, fresh Basil, Peppermint, Tuna, and Parsley.

First, caramelize the Onions and Garlic. Move them to the side of the carajay, then cook the omelette, first half first, then the last half. When cooked, slowly run the turner to cut the omelette in shreds while continuously cooking. Move the shredded omelette towards the caramelized garlic and onion, and cook the Tuna. Add Olive oil if you feel the need to do so. 


Add the Chickpea and the Pineapple tidbits, while the cracked Green and Yellow peas and Lentils are boiling in a pot. Before boiling, make sure that the Lentils, Yellow and Green Peas are soaked in water. 

Add the Saffron, chopped Parsley, Sweet Basil and fresh Basil to the mix. 

Season with salt and pepper.. Add the chopped Peppermint leaves last..  


Before serving, get a sprig of Peppermint leaves to garnish.. 


The kids loved their fried rice..
