Fruit Enzyme

Liang's mum taught Jo and I how to make fruit enzymes when we stayed at his house during our visit to Penang around 2 months ago.

Fruit enzyme is healthy and has lots of benefits but i wont elaborate on that as i'm lazy to do so. if u want to know Google it urself. =p

It's very nice and i fell in love with the dragon fruit enzyme as it tasted very much like red-wine, only a little bit sweeter and thus very much nicer than red-wine.

And so, after i'm back to Kuching, I made one for myself too !
I'm going to make dragonfruit enzyme while Jo made grape and apple enzyme.


1st, i 'dragged' my mum to the market to buy the ingredients.
1) 5-6 lemons
2) 4-5 dragonfruits
3) half packet of brown candy

The procedure :

1. Wash ur knife, chopping board, jar n fruits and air dry them. This is to prevent contamination and the growth of mold. so muz make sure everything is DRY. Got water = got mold. geddit?

2. Peel the skin of dragonfruit and cut into slices. Same goes to the lemon ( no need peel the skin la so ma fan ).

yala, my mum cut for me...mummy say small kid canot touch knife ok?

3. Lay one layer of dragonfruit slices in the jar, then one layer of sugar, one layer of lemon slices, one layer of sugar, and continue this process until the jar is full.

If im not mistaken, the sugar is to extract the juice ; the lemon is for antiseptic purposes.

crush the sugar 1st la...

layer it one by one

i got help 1 ok...

4. After everything is done, close the lid and u can store it anywhere as long as it's without direct sunlight.

finished !

5. After a few hours, you can see bubbles forming ady.

this is before

this is after a few hours. become so little. T_T

This is after 2 weeks plus

6. On the 3rd day. open the jar to let the bubbles out then close it and let it ferment for another 3 weeks ( the longer u keep the stronger the wine taste )

7. Don't forget to shake the jar everyday. It's ok to have a layer of white bubbles forming on top. Just be sure to shake it so that the juice will cover those white things and it wont turn into molds. whatever la.

8. Sieve out the liquid after 3 weeks ( or more ) and it's ready to be drink !

only can get 400-500ml lidat. T___T

I think mine is very successful la...bcos taste quite nice ok !
plus i put it 2 months ady, even nicer. =p
But mummy say according to the internet, one day can only drink maximum 30ml. =.=
Going to bring it to UTM since nobody in my home dare to drink. -.-lll
Outside sell one bottle very expensive 1 ok.....

This year we didn't really celebrate much as my mum's side grandma passed away half year ago.

Wan Chen's 23rd Bday ( 23/1 )

Thank God the surprise party for Wan Chen went well last night.
ok la, got a little flaw la but still well enough la...


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One month before Wc's Bday :

I started planning, which includes inviting her friends, order cakes ( i ordered cupcakes from an online bakery in Kuching ), gathered some friends to make her present.

Designed four-leaf-clover cupcakes for WC bday cake as she loves four-leaf-clover and ask the person to make it.

The bday plan in brief:

Irene, Peter, Li Chin, Ai Ling and Xiao Feng played an important role in 'booking' her on her bday night and bring her to a selected cafe to celebrate her bday.
Those who're going to be the surprise guests will have to lie that either they haven't back yet or is busy and cannot celebrate with her.
And on that night Wc will arrive early while the guests will arrive later.
Irene will bring out Wc's car key for me with the lame reason that she forgot to take her camera from Wc's car.
And we'll all fill the inside of her car with balloons and went up to surprise her after that.
And when everything ended, she'll come out and get another surprise when she sees her car.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Week before WC's Bday :


Went back Kuching 3 days before her Bday and yet I couldn't tell her that I'm back ady and have to lie that I'm still at JB. T.T
But nvm la, I'm good in lying and managed to persuade her into believing me =P
I guess she muz be rather disappointed as most of them rejected her when she asked them out.


I think my Hp credit increased double the amount i used in one month. T.T
Have to confirm everything with everyone, booked tables and get everything sorted out.
And Fen nearly freaked me out as she nearly told WC about our plan.
Luckily i managed to cover it up with more lies of cuz. =p

cover up the stars we made for her with anything i can find in my house.
Yes i know i'm always last minute...

The present is kinda old-fashioned but hey, I think WC could use some good lucks nowadays right?

the Bf kept complaining that i didn't make for him. -.-lll

boo~!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The morning of WC's Bday :


I'm having butterflies flying everywhere inside my body.
Ok la i admit i'm pretty nervous.
My heart missed a lot of beats for that morning + afternoon alone bcos with 18 people going, its hard to keep everyone from spilling the beans.
And i nearly die on the spot when Wan Chen told me in Msn that her housemate, Wei Kui say that maybe i might turn up and give her a surprise and even make a bet with her that if he wins she'll have to treat him for steambot ( lion open big mouth eh )
I managed to convince her that I'm still at JB. ( Feel so bad for betraying her trust. heheh...)

received the cupcakes !

ok la, i didn't expect much also.

so many things not yet done.... T.T

The Bf came over to my house in the aftrnoon and we started to pump balloons.
we pumped around 70-80 balloons and it wasn't easy as it seemed to be. T.T
I pumped 1 balloon ady complain my arms hurt.
So the bf ends up pumping 2/3 of the balloons for me. =p

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.00pm :


The bday gal who was supposed to arrive at 7pm turned out later than the guests as she was caught in traffic jam.
So everything has to be postponed to 8pm. >.< and WC accidentally saw Steven's car parked nearby Kado's cafe and luckily Tammy managed to cover up with some lies. T.T After the bday gal arrived and went upstairs ( we purposely choose the cafe that is on the 2nd floor so that the bday gal canot see us ), we fast fast come out from our hiding place and get to work.

Lucky it's a Kelisa...

With the help of everyone we managed to transfer all the balloons from Jo's car to Wc's car in no time.
And luckily it filled up all her car.

I get everyone to fill in a little card with Bday wishes after finished with the car.

We then take out 1 cupcake each and carried them upstairs to surprise the bday gal.

By chance i get to know Wc's wish to use her '23' candles on her bday while chatting with her in Msn.
She told me she dun have cake to put her little candles on and she wanted to blow from those candles.
And she wanted to wait for me to come back so that she can use them on the cake i bought.
But i managed to convince her to brg her little candles along that night. =)

one cupcake each and the extra will be carried by the poor bf who is also the photographer for the night.... =p

All went up....

and we surprised her pretty much. =D

I sneaked out with Jo before everything ends and hang all the small cards on Wc's car.
