I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

Before I start on Survivor Cook Islands, I gotta tell you about making your own beancurd – tau huay, not tau hoo.

I bought a carton of Sobe Unsweetened Pasturised Soy Milk the other day, and curiously, there was a small package attached to it. I only found out that it was two packs of coagulant to make tau huay.

Excited, I tried it out. Measure out 250ml of soy milk, add one packet of coagulant, stuff in the microwave on low-medium for 6 minutes, leave to stand for 1 minute, and there you go. Well not quite idiotproof, mine came out lumpy as heck!

Fortunately for the wonders of Yahoo! Answers, I found this site, and someone asked about making (drum roll) beancurd, and I found this neat article about making beancurd dessert.

Is that cool or what?

Back to Survivor, Cook Islands. I loved the first episode. I hate that I’m rooting mostly based on racial lines, but I guess it’s pretty much instinct. I wonder if the other races look at the Asian tribe and think the young ones all look the same. It’s a pity there were 2 Koreans, 2 Filipinos, a Vietnamese but no Chinese representation. But I guess the Chinese person would have to top Shii-Ann to be memorable, and that’s tough.
