I couldn't recognize him in lotus lantern. He is all grown up even thought he is older than me ^^. I absolutely loved him in The Magistrate Who's Nine when I was little.

GOODDRAMA SUM:
This is a sequel to Legend of Condor Heroes and a prequel of sorts to Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre. The story concerns the adventures of Yang Guo, an orphaned boy in a mid-13th Century China. From his humble beginnings, the street wise Yang Guo gets passed around from one prestigious master to another but none of them will teach him any kung fu. While escaping from a tortured experience under Quan Zhen Sect's Zhao Zhi Jing, he meets Xiao Long Nu, the girl who will become his kung fu master and eventually the love of his life.

The other versions I like the ones below. My parents bought the dvd series when I was young and I used to love watching them.

Dicky Cheung

Here are some drama Dicky acted in that I have watched and loved. He was one of my favorite actor as a child and the drama plot was good too so I would watch it over and over. I could only find one of the dramas in eng sub. I haven't keeping up to date with his dramas if there any recent release anyway I recently saw his in a popular Chinese variety show called Happy Camp. He looked older and bulkier compare to the photo above but still got his charm.

Japanese hot cake recipe from scratch

I found this recipe somewhere, and tried it out, and fairly like it. Only difference is that I used plain greek yogurt and didn't have baking powder.

.5 cup (overflowing a bit) milk
2 tbs plain yogurt
1.3 tbs butter
1.2 cup cake flour or make your own: (1cup of flour - 2tbs of flour)+(2tbs of cornflour)
1.5 tsp baking powder
oil for pan

Purpose:
1. sift(mix) together cake flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. set aside.
2. microwave together butter and milk until melted then add in yogurt and mix well.
3. in another bowl, whisk egg and sugar until thick & pale.
4. add milk and egg mixture into flour mixture. briefly fold and cut
through the mixture and do not overmix.
5. heat skillet over low heat. grease and drop a landful of batter onto the skillet, cook until bubbles appear on the surface. flip over and cook for one or two minutes until cooked and golden brown. repeat until all batter has been used up.

Siesta manga

http://www.mangahere.com/manga/siesta/

JanimeS SUM:
The world of Siesta is set in fantasy Europe where there are people called bullet users who were discriminated against badly for reasons unknown to readers as of volume 1. The discrimination has gotten much weaker due to Grande Corp's efforts to wipe out the decades-old pirate faction with the help of Bulletron, a battle suit designed exclusively for bullet users. The story begins as the protagonist Dia Canto tells you a little bit about herself: how she became an orphan, how she met her foster family, and how she is very much in love with her step brother, Loe. However, her affection toward Loe is brutally crushed before it would even bear fruit and she goes out to vent her sadness. This is when she encounters Cid Leon, who she would ultimately be paid to "protect".

Curry recipe with Okra

Okay I felt like eating curry today, and I still have some okra left and I thought it might be good to add orka, well, I wasn't think deeply and didn't expect the sauce to be thinker and sticky/slimy kind of like texture. This is my second time making curry so I'm not sure how is taste different other than it's a bit slimy, but curry overall.


Ingredient:
pork (or any meat or omit), dice
shrimp
1 large/medium shape carrot, rotate cut
1 onion, dice
1 large/medium potato, dice
2 celery rib, sliced
2 garlic clove, diced (I should have mince it)
4 okra, slice
(or any veggie you like or have in hand)
S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix 3.5oz
2.5 cups of water/broth
cooked/warm rice
oil

Procedure:
I just boiled my diced potatoes until tender  and drain them and then I semi follow the direction on the curry mix.

Let the oil heat up on a large pan, get ready to put the meat, shrimp, onion, and garlic and stir fry for a few minutes until smells nice and looks ready to add the veggies and stir a bit than add the liquid. Let the liquid boil and then lower the heat to medium for 10 minutes. Then add the curry mix, let it dissolve by stirring occasionally. Wala! You're done.

I warm up my left over rice and spoon the curry over it. You can also spread it over noodles, pasta, bread, biscuits or something.

Fried Rice with Okra

I made fried rice with okra and it's not bad if you like okra's slimy texture. I hope y'all like this as I did.

Oh, and also when I cook I don't measure out how much I need, I just put how much of the ingredient I want or have in hand. You can have whatever ingredient you like in your fried rice if you don't like what I put in, heck you can omit the okra if you don't have any right now.

I made another version with shrimp.

Ingredients:

1 beaten egg

1 carrot, the ones that are shape like a real carrot, I used a small one, I didn't want so much

1 pepper, any pepper you like, I had a banana pepper in hand so I used that

Pork (or chicken, shrimp...) if you like meat add as much as you like or don't add any

5 okra pieces, rinsed

Peas,  frozen

Seasonings, I used salt, Granulated Chicken Bouillon, and white pepper

Oil to stir fry

leftover Rice, I didn't have much left like about 1/2 cup or so

Procedure: 

1. While prepare ingredients boil some water in pot. Peel the carrot skin with a peeler, and gut your pepper. I cut the carrot by first slice diagonal and rotated the carrot a bit and slice, keep repeating. and cut pepper into small pieces. cut the pork into strips or cube whatever you prefer. Slice the okra and place okra in another bowl.
2. When the water boils add carrot, pepper, peas and orka inside. and wait a minute or so and drain the things into a colander/strainer.
3. Put oil into pan and let it heat, then stir in pork then your carrot, peas and pepper. stir so the things are fairly dry and add the rice in, you can flip the pan or just stir well. 
4. Add your seasoning to your taste and then add okra, stir a bit and then add the beaten eggs, stir so the eggs are cooked and your done.

Omurice, whats the big deal?

Okay, In Rooftop Prince the 4 jump suit guy are going crazy when she makes omurice for them. It's funny and cute. And tempting to try some too! I like the recipe video I found and it was simple to follow.

But I did some changes in my list. I put: pork instead of chicken, and added snow pea and used 2 eggs and only used ketchup. And it came out fine. I like it but I wouldn't eat it everyday kind of thing. A sweet and a bit sour taste. 

Mr Vampire HK Movie

DRAMACARZY SUM:
During a reburial, the local priest notices that the corpse has not decomposed and has the blue fingernails typical of a vampire. Before he can destroy the vampire, it escapes. Now he must deal with the menace, aided only by his two bumbling assistants, one of whom is soon infected by the vampire?s poison while the other is enjoying the embrace of a life-eating she-ghost. The humorous highlight of the movie are the Chinese vampires, who hop comically, which must be seen to be believed.

My Curry Rice

I made curry for the first time and it taste fabulously curry. I add what ever ingredients I had in the fridge which are onion, pork, celery, shrimp and potatoes, oh! and also the curry sauce package. I was disappointed that I didn't have carrots.
