入味人生?

茶叶蛋密码 :

有人比喻人生就像茶叶蛋, 有裂痕才入味.  I wish I am "flavoursome" to me and others without "cracks and wrinkles".

Flavoursome Asian dish, 生炒糯米饭

This dish is cooked like you would Risotto; stir fry the ingredients and rice by adding stock little by a little until the rice is fully cooked. 

Love this dish. It can be served as a snack, lunch or dinner; most importantly is used to make packed lunch for my old man.

Beetroot, my last summer crop
