Well, by now you should have guessed that I am a Chinese blogger. Being a typical Chinese, we eat almost anything under the sun.
Eating is for survival or for the health benefits, or more correctly certain food is taken for the perceived value it provide the body, if consumed.
The following is a glass of homemade Snow Jelly, yummy!:

..with red dates

... without red dates

..with flash from Nokie E71

Well, looks tasty right? My mums made this for me because I had been coughing for the past few days. After taken this, I felt better already.
QUESTION: Will you drink this?
This is how the package looks like..... you can get this in any 'reputable' chinese sinseh (or the traditional chinese pharmacy). I am not sure if Watson, Guardian or any similar modern pharmacy is carrying this product.

This is how it looks like.... before cooking.

You need to soak this for a few hours, and steam it for another few hours with red dates, rock sugar and some pandan leave (optional).
Well... what is this snow jelly?
It is somehow related to the reproductive system of this creature:

Spot it?

Now: Do you still want to drink this?

I would!
