Jamu Asam Kunyit

I read about Jamu, especially popular in Indonesia. There are many formula for slimming the tummy, beauty and youth etc. So I am tempted to make a jamu to flat my tummy. At the end I found this recipe from internet to make a jamu assam kunyit which is helpful in weight loss.
For the first attempt, due to my poor malay, I bought halia instead of kunyit...coz I thought they are the same :(
So when I made that jamu assam "halia", the taste is so strong...that I can hardly swallow...even at the end I forced myself to finish them :(
Second time around, I got the right ingredient, kunyit!!! ha ha ha...
The recipe is:
300g assam
300g kunyit (blended/crushed)
3-4 tablespoon sugar (less is better)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1.5 litre water
Boil all ingredients together for half an hour or more...
then the jamu is ready!!! :)
It is so yellowish and the kunyit is so empowering...
I let my colleague tried it...and yes, my recipe passed!!! hahahaha...can buka bisnes :p
This is my first day drinking it...I must continue it dilligently :)
Please hooray for me!!! ha ha ... looking forward to a slimmer me :)

3rd day

This is my 3rd day into black bean diet.
So far I feel good.
I like the breakfast smoothie made out of goat's milk, water, honey, cooked black bean, and silky tofu.
You may think this combination sucks...but the taste is not bad.
At least I could accept it :)
After breakfast today, I din't eat other things...so I feel I have an improvement ha ha...
Heading to lunch now...my steamed fish with black beans waiting to enter my stomach :)
Ciao...

Happy is a decision

I really like to tune in to "Jam Break" on Capital FM, the new women radio station.
Xandria and Liang really have a good on air chemistry and the topics discussed are so information and interesting!!!
I am starting to like Xandria more and more now...as oppose to where I only see her as a pretty model before this.
She also shared that "Happy is a decision". I am starting to practice this everyday now!
Let's be happy. You and I decide. :)
