The Frog Incident
Been quite bored lately.. from my last entry.. my vitamin.M supply is getting lesser and lesser.. had to stay at home and rot most of the time. It was kinda hard to do it this way... but since i am not working now, guess i don't really have a choice.. so time to think about how to save up. i have a mini organizer with me, which now i use to calculate how much money i have left every other day. keeping track of the $ i have left let me feel the pinch of spending them. i've never known doing a lil bit of failed accounts can help me save a a lot more. or maybe its just that i don have any to spend thats y i am not spending. oh well..
Suddenly had to mention this. bout 2 years ago , i went on a china trip with my dad and his girlfriend, to her hometown and to some other cities in china.. or u can also call that village. some places hasn't been developed so u see those dark toilets made of straws.. with no lights, mud floor and a hole somewhere in the middle u can't see coz its way too dark to see.. the only advice before i go into the toilet is "don't step into the gold mine" well, luckily enough i didn't need to stay there for a night, or even a day, just a few hours dropping by to see some relative of hers. but the toilet visit was enough for me. ok skip the disgusting part and go over to the not so disgusting part. wondering why i mentioned the china trip out of the blue? it has something to do with the title i put for my post today. "the frog incident"
There is a chinese dessert called Xue Har, normally served with almond paste or walnut paste or whatever u've seen before. a whitish gelly stuff having the same nutritious level as bird nest but not costing so much, not as rare i suppose. I luv luv luv Xue Har with almond paste served cold. It was my favourite dessert in melbourne and it is still my favourite dessert now. But 2 years ago during my trip to china, i found out the source of those tastety lil treats. As you know, a picture says a thousand words.

And This ! is my thousand words
A bowl of cooked disgusting lil things..
one would call them "snow frogs" although
they're not exactly white in color.
I guess color don't matter. My dad got it from
his recent china trip and "da bao" 2 boxes back to
singapore.

My Second Thousand Words
2 frogs, gender unknown. just decided to put
it in a bowl to emphasize the gross-ness of this
edibles.. one flipped one non. Would u eat it? It contains the tasty Xue Har and the frog eggs which is so rare it cost a BOMB in japan. and yes i mean a BOMB that u wouldn't imagine.
BUT
the bottom line is ...
Dare you eat it?
