Adventures at King Fung Supermarket


King Fung Supermarket is the closest Asian grocery store to our house and we would religiously shop there every weekend. In fact, since being acquired by a bigger chain, King Fung has made tremendous improvements in terms of the store layout, stock/supplies, overall cleanliness and presentation.

One of our favorite spot in the store is the pastry section. We were extremely delighted when they decided to invest in a proper shelving system. Last Saturday, we did exactly the same and...what's up with this?!

Bry Pork Bun @ Pork Floss Bun

Coconhe Bun @ Coconut Bun

Roant.pork.Bun @ Roast Pork Bun

Take break cake @ Tea break cake?

If only it hadn't sound like it could give me Mad Cow, I might try it one day...ROTFL!


And what does Brandon think about the above???



I guess we can laugh as much as we want, but King Fung is still the best place to shop for all things Asian. Now, a little promo for King Fung...it's located at 625 Kinderkamack Road, River Edge, NJ. Tel.: 201-262-8558. Co-owner, Ah Wei is a very nice and pleasant guy. See you next week!

Spring is in the air
by Adrian

After a long winded winter, the sign of spring is finally coming. Before the winter, I planted bulbs and tulips at the side of our fence. The result is very encouraging consider I saw signs of shoots coming from its bulbs.

Besides seeing the sign of spring is approaching, we also saw Brandon making lots of progress. He is walking and very engaging. His spontaneous giggles and funny acts have been our end of day "de-stress" elixir.

Pardon us for not updating for more frequently. It is quite taxing juggling between work, doing house work, blogging and taking care of a toddler. Anyway, stay tune for more updates as there are lots new activities lined up for the rest of the year.

Snowing Again (Happy President's Day)
by Adrian

We are off today for President's Day (USA). Just when we thought Spring is here, we were hit with another snow last night (flurries). I can't wait for Brandon to grow up and help me shoveling. My back is killing me. Snow... snow go away and may spring come soon.

Kuching Trip (December 2010)
by Adrian

This is a series of hard core food pictures from our trip to Kuching last December. The first were taken from a restaurant called My Restaurant located at Sama Jaya, Kuching. It is basically for meat lovers. The portion is quite huge but quite pricey for Kuching standard. Don't worry as the quality of food compensates for the price.

Mixed Grill

BBQ Combo

Ginger Bread scented apple & prune cake

Banana Passion

Instead of Oreo cookie, we were served "Stereo" cookie in the Ginger Bread scented apple & prune cake to top it off. Lol.....! Only in Kuching. Nevertheless, the verdict is excellent for overall quality of the food.

Storm hits Northeast
by Adrian

It was quite a challenge commuting to Brandon's daycare this morning. Fortunately, I have been exposed to similar weather conditions while living in Illinois. The valuable experience really comes handy at this time of the year. See for yourself what I have gone through this morning.

For your information, this is just the beginning. The weather forecast is reported to be "ice to rain" tomorrow. Wish us luck and hope the wintry weather will be gone soon.
