Tea with AK71: Sambal mooncake.
Monday, August 29, 2011
There was much talk about mooncakes in LP's infamous cbox over at Bully the Bear today.
Fancy having some sambal mooncake at tea time? This must be the most "innovative" mooncake I have ever had.
My parents got this in a box of mooncakes from Star Cruises. |
Quite clever the way they separated the spicy centre from the lotus paste, using dried coconut as a wall. |
The taste is surprisingly good although for some who do not like spicy food or dried coconut, it might be difficult to accept.

Cache Logistics Trust: Gap closed at 96c.
The unit price of Cache Logistics Trust closed the gap at 96c in the last session. A white candle with an extremely long upper wick was formed, suggesting strong selling pressure at 96c. 96c is also where we find the flatlined 50dMA which should also act as resistance.
I decided last Friday to put in a sell order over the weekend at 96c for a partial divestment in case gap resistance should be retested today. My sell order at 96c was filled this morning and I made some pocket money.
For people who believe in mini double bottoms, we could see the unit price test $1 if 96c should be taken out convincingly. I would divest more then. Otherwise, we could see unit price retreat to test recent lows once more and that is at 91.5c, my entry price months ago.
I will also be collecting income distribution from the REIT today. So, this is a nice combination of investing for income and capital gains. Regular readers would know that I am not averse to trading my investments in REITs from time to time.

Tea with AK71: Family, friends, Abercrombie & Fitch and BPA free water bottles.
Sunday, August 28, 2011
I had a restive long weekend. Long weekend? Yes, for someone who has to work half days on weekends, this was a nice long weekend for me. Hmmm, well, I did visit a customer for slightly more than an hour on Saturday but that's not really work. Just delivered mooncakes and had a chit chat.
So, what did I do this "long weekend"? I had tim sum with my family, caught up with some friends and did some shopping. Spent some money (quite a lot by my standards) and helped to stimulate the economy, not that the economy needs much stimulating. The restaurants were packed! The shopping malls were packed!
Tim sum was at East Ocean Teochew Restaurant in Shaw Centre. I took some photos of the more creative pieces (only available on weekends and public holidays) with my trusty Samsung phone camera (as usual):
Penguins! These had lotus paste and salted egg fillings. Yummy! |
So cheerful, right? Almost couldn't bear to eat it. |
The one on the right didn't look as cheerful but it was still cute. :) |
Called "Ugly Ducklings", these were a bit like "wu kok". |
These were filled with "mei cai", the same vegetable that they would have with stewed pork. |
Looks like a duckling, doesn't it? |
This is a photo of the gigantic poster at Knightsbridge (the former Crown Prince Hotel) some two or three stories tall where Abercrombie & Fitch is going to have their second branch in Asia.
Apparently, it caused a Singaporean auntie some distress, enough to write in to the papers, saying that it was indecent and that people turned away when they walked past it. I don't see why is it indecent.
Actually, I saw people (male, female, young and old) taking out their phones and snapping pictures of it while waiting to cross at the traffic lights. So, what do you think of it?
Apart from spending money at restaurants and cafe, the only other place I spent money at was in a Nike shop, where I bought four BPA free plastic water bottles for myself and my family.
Barley drink not included. |
I think not enough people realise that harmful chemicals leach from plastic water bottles into the water they hold. We should make sure that the plastic water bottles we use are BPA free.
I also paid my bills at an AXS machine, got a friend a belated birthday present, got a pair of socks and had a haircut at QB House in 313 Somerset. I like the haircut too. Definitely a nice weekend!
Tuesday is a holiday again! Selamat Hari Raya! Yeah!
