Olives are concentrated in monounsaturated fats and a good source of vitamin E. In addition to vitamin E, olives contain avariety of beneficial active phytonutrient compounds including polyphenols and flavonoids, which also appear to have significant anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin E is the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant. It goes after and directly neutralizes free radicals in all the fat-rich areas of the body. Free radical damage can lead to numerous ailments. For example, when free radicals cause the oxidation of cholesterol, the oxidized cholesterol damages blood vessels and builds up in arteries, and can eventually lead to heart attack or stroke. So, by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol, the nutrients in olives help to prevent heart disease.

Ingredients:
1 medium size aubergine (cut into long strips)
10 pcs pickled olives (sliced)
1 big onion
A little olive oil
Method:
1. Fry onions in a little oil
2. Add in aubergine and fry for 2 minutes
3. Lastly add in sliced olives and a little salt

It was a great honor to be invited to Uncle Silvio's house for a genuine Italian pizza feast. The pizzas we ate were made from scratch and we are tremendously lucky to be able to witness the pizza making process. The wait was quite long though, as the preparation of the ingredients was quite time consuming, but the end product was definitely worth the wait. The cheese was able to stretch until the "ceiling" exactly like the pizza hut ads (though it's never the case when we visit pizza hut). Thanks for the wonderful experience Uncle Silvio and Aunty Mei.

Ingredients:
Dough:
Plain Flour
Salt
Yeast
Warm water

Pizza:
Tomato Paste
Capsicum
Eggplant
Tomato

In terms of convenience, taste and price, Restoran Sayur-sayuran Kuan Yin is still the best place to go as normally you need not have to drive around looking for a good spot to park your car as you can usually find one just infront or not far away from the shop. Choice of my dishes today are delicious except that I find the 'Mui Choy' in the 'Mui choy kow yook' rather salty. However, if you accompany it with rice then the taste should be alright.

Cannot afford to have bird's nest everyday? Do not feel bad because here is a recipe that will still provide you with all the essence you are looking for in a bird's nest soup. Long known for its ability to rejuvenate one's complexion, snow fungus is a popular dessert for Chinese women. By adding red dates to this healthy dessert helps improve blood circulation and strengthen the heart and lungs. Pear is also a very rejuvenating fruit when boiled. Adding red dates and pear gives a natural sweetness to the snow fungus soup thus decreasing the need to add sugar.

Hot and hazy days are here and a big bunch of watercress boiled with honey and red dates in a crock pot will help to quench parched throats. Pluck the leaves from the stems to be fried separately to make another dish for lunch.

Watercress is brimming with over 15 vitamins and minerals, gram for gram containing more vitamin C than oranges, more calcium than milk and more iron than spinach. Research is also highlighting its role in the fight against cancer. The results of a new study being conducted by the University of Southampton into watercress’s potential ability to suppress breast cancer cell development are due to be announced later this year.
