REVIEW ON TEFAL MANUAL CHOPPER

I think most of the time for Asian cooking is spend on cutting onions, garlic and also chilies 😖.  It is really a hassle and sometimes I just wish I can dump the whole big chunk of onions or garlic into the wok. Wok is Asian 5 in 1 cooking utensils. Wiki mentioned it as versatile round bottom cooking vessel.

So, when I received this in my Box of Joy 😍I was so excited to try if this Tefal Manual Chopper could really chop stuff since someone told me that it is useless😟. Don't tell me to use my only blender for meat and for my vegetables because I won't 😅

Here is a review on Tefal Manual Chopper.

Wow, blended into minced meat 😲

Tefal Manual Chopper

Tefal Manual Chopper claims that It chop food items in 5seconds. 😬 Only if you can pull it fast enough in 5 seconds. If you take a break like me, it is going to be more than 5 seconds. I use it actually to make minced meat.  The chopper knife is really sharp so becareful when handling. I do find that the plastic made from good quality and it is easy to scoop out my cooking ingredients from it. Washing it in also easy.

Tefal Manual Chopper really cut down  my cooking time because it can make minced fish meat way more faster than I chop it manually😲. By manual labour with knife, it takes me an hours and I smelt like rotten fish after that.  With Tefal Manual Chopper, I just put the cleaned up fish into the chopper, close the lid and pull the string for about 10 times until it becomes minced meat. The food also taste better with this manual chopper than in blended since it does not heat up.  Blender tend to 'heat' up the food so it doesn't taste as good as chopped with Tefal Manual Chopper.

Also beware of ones that look like this but is not even able to cut onions.  Good Tefal Manual Chopper is even able to chop fish meat into minced one so that is the good quality of product for you. Also it is so good that it doesn't use electricity which is really good for wanting to save up on bills.💓

So, overall I think this is a great products if you are constantly looking for affordable manual chopper that does it job.  Indeed a handy product to have.

PETRONAS DEEPAVALI 2016

Happy Deepavali,

It has been some time since I watch some really great web-film and I think this year Petronas came out with an amazing video depicting the stereotype that we have of others.






It is easy to judge others by the appearance without seeking the true reason.  Here is a video about Muniandy and his friend.  Can they escape the misjudgement?

In light of the Deepavali celebration, let us Malaysians learn to respect each others differences and embrace our similarities.  Let the light shines within us, respect each other as individuality and as Malaysians. Let the goodness guide us as Malaysians towards greater harmony can be achieved through greater understanding and compassion.

DURIAN THE KING OF FRUITS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA

If you are up for a challenge, then do consider putting this into your list to try in the future when you are visiting Southeast Asia next time.  There is no middle ground for this fruit.  You either love it or hate it to the core.  There is no such thing as growing to love it.  This is how this fruits work.  I have never heard someone who said they grow to love it or grow to hate it.

It is a fruit of Love at first Taste or Loathe at first Taste.  I saw this hilarious representation of this King of fruits that it is so stinky that it melted all the clothes and everything from 20km away.  While this fruit is not going to melt away anything, I can't possibly send it to any country because this is going to be deemed as weapon of destruction.

Just look at those thorns and the smell are sure getaway for the custom to think that I am sending you some sort of mass weapon!

DURIAN 

The fruit is thorny and Yes, you can kill someone with it. It is heavy.

DURIAN 

The flesh inside the durians.  The size of the seed depends on the variety.

DURIAN 

More pictures.

DURIAN 

There are many food made with this King of fruits-donuts, ice cream, cookies, chocolates, cakes and even mooncake.  Unfortunately, if you hate it then you are sure to have your head spinning every time you came across Durians.

I am lucky to like it or else I think I will be suffering when my family members or anyone eats Durians.  Durian is not something that you can hide the smell so the house next door can smell it.  If you like the smell, it smells like creamy sweet flowery jam but if you hate, it sure smell like rotten garbage truck.  I don't have any ideas how the mechanics of smells works for Durians but that is how it is. A friend who hate it at the first sight puke non stop for the whole night after eating a little of the flesh.

The flesh really depends on the varieties of Durians.  It is not a cheap stuff here even if you hate it.  The Musang King (Fox King) varieties is so expensive that I can't afford it with my poor pay.  It is not easy to get it too as it is mostly exported to Hong Kong and to China.  Musang King got its name from being very cunning. It did kill someone by dropping the fruits on top of someone's head.  You can only collect the fruits at night.

 There are some rules to eating this fruit.  You are supposed to drink some water from the rind of the Durian fruits to avoid having fever which is true.  Avoid it when you are having fever or headaches or else it will make it worse.  People who have a cold or is always having cold feet is very much welcome to eat it because it will cure the cold instantly.  It is considered a hearty fruits for those who have a 'cold' body if you can eat it without puking non stop.  Also, do not eat this fruit while drinking alcoholic drink or you will just die of heart attack if you are unlucky.

A fruit eaten to avoid vampire since you need a wooden stake to open the fruits.  *I am just joking*  It is hilarious to cut through Durian with a big saw.

So, here is the fruit of the season of Durians.  Have you eaten this King of Fruits?  Do you have a fruit that you like to eat?

Product:
RM40 for three medium size Durian.
Not sponsored. However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.
