Mr Kong jumping into the North Sea (yes, that's as cold as it sounds). Don't worry, there was a Swedish sauna to warm him up...

Driving Theory Test

Well, we're going to take our UK driving theory test tomorrow. Even though we've both driven for over 10 years in Malaysia & elsewhere! Also took our first driving lessons here this week, a really strange experience as it feels like going back in time.

Been really hitting the books & cramming. Mrs Kong isn't used to this last minute studying, especially for the car maintenance questions.

Lucky she's married to the last-minute-study King! - Mr Kong!

Anyway, we think we are prepared so fingers crossed, we will pass with flying colours tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Yong Tau Foo

Tonight, we tried making some Yong Tau Foo. To be exact, Yong Lat Chiu (Stuffed Chillis) - got the fish (Coley fish, not really Tenggiri) & chillies from Morrisons Supermarket.

The fish paste that I made looked pretty authentic but a bit too flaky & not 'rubbery' enough but boy, were the chillies HOT!

We almost died. Mrs Kong gave up after one bite & my head almost exploded. Eyes, nose, forehead, lips & brain were watering... I think we've been away from Malaysia a little too long...

The product…



The result – head explosion!
