Choco Pie: cake with marshmallow cream inside

I was watching a drama starring Rain. In that drama, his daughter, Bori loves to eat choco pie. Choco pie is a popular snack in Korea. It is actually two layers of cake with marshmallow in between and chocolate coatings.

Last weekend I bought a box of choco pie from a Korea Mart in Desa Sri Hartamas to give it a try.

One box contain 12 packs of choco pie RM10.90

After a bite, I love it very much. It felt a bit chewy on the mouth and that was the marshmallow has the chewy feeling. The cake was foamy, soft and coated with rich chocolate but not too sweet.
Choco pie makes a great snack for kids and after dinner dessert for a family.

Korea Black Bean Sauce Noodle

Past few days have been raining a lot. I tend to get hungry easily and strong hunger sensation when the weather is cold :) Tonight my boy friend suggested to cook Korea black bean sauce noodle 炸酱面 for supper and I think is a great idea.

Nong Shim brand black bean sauce noodle -RM3/pkt

Nong Shim is a quality and famous brand in Korea.

Black bean sauce noodle is a dish consist of noodle topped with thick savory fried black bean sauce made from cultured soybean.

top: powder soup packet
bottom: olive oil seasoning packet

Suggested cooking direction:

boil water, add noodle and powder soup packet with dried vege.

drain out the water and keep 6 spoonful of water

add the seasoning oil packet into the noodle, stir well and serve

The texture of the noodle is chewy and it taste flavorful because blend well with the black bean sauce. But the only thing have to adjust is the seasoning because it was a bit mild. Add a dash of salt and the noodle will be tastier.

keep focused on your goal

Problem

Achieving our goals is based on writing out our goal, keeping mind on it & then working towards our goal. Human beings tend to forget things. Sometimes we might forget our goal in the craziness of a busy and challenging year.

Solution

To stay focussed on our goal, we can use computer password or maybe Facebook password to remind us whatever we want to achieve. In our daily life, we will enter password at least once a day and it will then act as a daily reminder. Consequently, we subconsciously assign great importance to that goal, and tend to feel more committed to its achievement.

For an example, set your password- TAHITI2010. 'TAHITI' sets a specific target where you want to go for the next holiday vacation. '2010' sets a time frame to the goal forces a plan of action.

I hope that this idea may benefit you and help you to achieve your goal.
