Vietnamese Street Food - Phô Mai Que

So yes, today, let's talk about street food. Since there was someone who asked for this category of all the options I made (well it was just between that or noodles) so I've decided to make this post.

For few times, I've tried this street food, Phô Mai Que (Fried Cheese Sticks), with a couple of friends when we were in Vietnam. That was late at night and they are still open serving snacks for students from the school in the storefront. And pho does not only mean noodles.



I am bad at taking notes and really, the important information just cut loose every time. That is why when I got chance, I do take photos of the restaurant itself, and oh, the menu too. But that doesn't happen every time. When we are busy eating, enjoying food, we don't want ourselves to be distracted by not so important things other than the FOOD. Yep!



So this Vietnamese treat seems like an ordinary mozzarella stick on stick. If that is the case, then it is not real real Vietnamese street food! But hey, we had it in Vietnam so, no problem! Okay, sorry for talking too much nonsense. Hihi.

Basically, it is cheese coated with crumbs and then fried. It is perfect for winter while having a cold tall glass of matcha frappe with friends late at night chatting.



What I love about it is it does taste like mozzarella, maybe, it is real mozzarella. They have mayo, hot sauce and ketchup for dipping.

This is something I will miss having. Not only this snack but the memories I had with bunch of friends in different background. I wish to be back to Vietnam again!

Cheap Wedding Dresses: Where To Find Them Online?


Wedding Dresses 2018 Millybridal

A lot of people ask me how am I now with my wedding planning. With all honestly, there are still a lot of things we need to prepare. I never thought that weddings, which only last for a day, and even few hours, will require six months of preparation. Well, it is a once in a lifetime event and it will never happen again.

I do not have my wedding dress yet. But there are inspirations online I am looking into. Want to find them out? No need to sneak around. I’ll be sharing them with you. Right now. Here at www.myxilog.com.

If you also want a hassle free online shopping for Simple Wedding Dresses, you might want to give Millybridal UK a shot. They have an array picks for Backless Wedding Dresses.

One that caught my attention was this beautiful Satin V-neck Ball Gown Sweep Train with Ruffles Wedding Dress. It somehow portrays my dream wedding dress. I love the V-neck style, the fabric used, the little details in the abdominal part of the dress and the flow itself. It doesn't need to be super glamorous but it should be as elegant as this one. The satin fabric adds to the elegance of this dress.


I also like this one that is so feminine and dreamy. It is a combination of laces, pearls and a whole lot more. Click the photos to redirect.


There are a lot more to choose from. You just need to take time looking because every single piece of the garment is worth falling in love with. Plus, they're cheap and customizable.

Here are another two from my favorite picks.


How do you like their wedding dresses? I would love to hear your comments! Have a great day!

Chewy Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe



Hallo allemaal! Well, that's just basically, Hello everyone! but in Dutch.

Don't worry, I am not going to talk about my Dutch fiance, or my food trip to Vietnam, uhhm, partially still. As most of my post recently tackles so much about these things, today's post is a recipe post, obviously stated in the title.



When I visited Vietnam, I've learned that they use a lot of matcha on their dishes like cakes, bread, and yogurt. It is so common that I splurged my heart out every single day with matcha products. Also, I was able to try and test a recipe when I was there.

So now, I'll be sharing with you this Matcha Green Tea Cookie with Chocolate Chips recipe.

You'll be needing:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
2 teaspoon pure matcha powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Optional:
Melted chocolate
Almond nuts



Procedure:
First off, preheat your oven to 170 to 200 C.

As most cookies are made, you need to mix your room temperature butter, sugar, and egg until mixture is well blended. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients.



Little by little, incorporate dry into the wet ingredients, giving it a good whisk.

Once done, scoop it into a lined pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. For what I did, I baked the first batch for like 15 minutes and the second for 12 minutes and it actually did not do any difference. But I still suggest making it 12 minutes at least.



Let your cookies cool and add decorations like what I did if you like. For this, melt milk chocolate in a double boiler and chop some plain roasted nuts. Dip each cookie halfway and immediately sprinkle shaved/chopped nuts. And you're done!

Disclaimer: I find that the recipe calls not much sugar so the chocolate chip compensated the sweetness, plus, the melted chocolate with the nuts seems to taste perfectly balance as well. Still, it depends on you.

Easy ha! Why not try it for yourself and share with me how it came out? I'd love to hear from you! :)
