Pork Dickson 2016 Trip Pt.1

It was good, a well planned trip after spending 2-3 days at The Curve, then retreating to a hidden resort in Pork Dickson for a night before returning to Porky's Cavern. It was a short trip, but lots of fun with all the Porkydigans. Porky say too much story to tell, so will have Part 2 of this post, so bilex (pksh : relax) !

Horton or Bongton the Ephant is the Engineer and Inventor in Porky's Cavern. Porkidigans will always need cool and unique one-of-a-kind contraptions at home. Horton will normally design and build anything imaginable by Porky. In his free time, Horton like to solve complex puzzle game to put his brain to work, unlike Benedict and Bukpeel that hit the couch with popcorn and remote control on their paw all the time. Introducing his current favourite game - IQ Splash from Smart Games. It's like a jigsaw puzzle with interlocking tiles, but there are 111 ways to solve it, with each placement of a beginning tile will change the final layout of the game - anywhere on the base board.

It comes in a nice travel box with booklet, shown is one of the arrangement style to complete it

the booklet shows various difficulty level you can choose from

today Horton will teach you the 1st puzzle as an example - Starter no.1. Two pieces tiles are needed to complete the puzzle - sounds easy .. all you need to do is put it in and fit to the base

Tadaaaaaaaa !!! Porky clap hands..

The level of difficulty ranges from Starter to Expert, according to the booklet it is good for 0-99 years old kid !!! interesting indeed. For every stage that any Porkydigans  can complete, it will be posted here as trophy says Porky !

PCC : Pork Dumpling

Seeing dumpling wrapper for sale in the frozen section on a few trip to hypermarket have tempted Porky to venture into making his own dumpling. The ingredients are plain simple; cabbage, minced meat, salt & pepper and egg. Round dumpling wrapper are used in this recipe. You can find it easily in the section where they kept Roti Prata/Canai section. Well, let's start !

minced meat with some fats (not lean) as main patty

finely chopped cabbage

egg white as glue to seal the wanton securely, egg york will be use for patty 

mix everything evenly, can add few drops of sesame oil for aroma

using your creativity, wrap everything neatly, apply egg white to seal it

1st method- steaming

2nd method - boil in water (this one taste the yummiest)

3rd method - pan fried (add water occasionally so it maintain soft consistency)

Out of the 3 methods tried, Porky say the tastiest one is the simplest to cook, just throw the dumpling into boiling water ! the steam type need to be eaten as soon as its out the steamer as it harden pretty quickly. The patty is the key ingredient here, so next time we will try to add more flavor like salted fish, preserved vege. and dried shrimps for a try. Bon Appetite !

Porky Going to Space

On 5th Dec 2014, the Delta V heavy rocket was launched by NASA to space. This rocket carries a spacecraft called Orion which will be send to Mars for exploration. On-board Orion, there is silicon microchip that stored about 1,380,000 names of people around the world, including Porky ! Space is outside our planet earth, and having presence outside planet earth is COOOL !

Delta V Rocket lift off to space the final frontier !

PCC : Radish Kimchi

Few weeks ago, Porky made a new batch of Kimchi. For this round, we try to make our first Radish Kimchi. The preparation steps are the same as cabbage Kimchi, only difference are the ingredients. So here we go..

peeled carrot - best source for beta carotene

peeled white radish, another recipe will be soup with dried squids - yummy

fresh juicy leeks

chop into fine pieces

add in Kimchi paste, mix/coat thoroughly and keep in a container. 

ready to eat with warm rice !

The rest of the fermentation process are same with Kimchi (here). When it reach maturity in 3-5 days in room temperature, keep it in fridge too slow down the process. Munch time !

P-Garage "Red RV for Holiday"

RV means Recreational Vehicle - you can drive to Port Dickson and camp by the seaside with this truck. Some high end model are fitted with kitchen, bed, toilet, home theater and almost anything you can fit in just like a house. For this small red RV, it is basically a 4x4 truck with an add-on camper back pack unit. It should have enough space to fit all the Porkidigans and their picnic food. Porky always have a heart for RV, with a dream to own one in future so we can go camping anywhere the road can lead us. Will create a separate entry for RV in a few weeks time, so stay put.

Doomsday Salt and Peppers

Starting from this entry, Porky will start prepping all the Porkydigans to be ready for calamities such as prolong flood, power grid failure, water shortage, natural disaster, civil unrest, nuclear war and even zombie attack and alien invasion. Being a fan of survival magazine and TV shows for their informative contents, it somehow make a lot of sense to be ready if the day ever arrive. Over the years, i guessed we all just take things for granted - living in a comfort zone denying all the possibilities and convincing ourselves it will never happen. Oh well, it will be a long effort but we should start as soon as possible, better be safe and tummy full then sorry and hungry.

Digby should start working on this plan..

Favorite Brand of P-Garage

One of our favorite brand is Takara Tomy, from Japan. This brand have the highest quality and realism, interesting for both small and big kids. Here is a cool advertising video made by Takara Tomy, in promoting their products. Porky and the gang have to order at least 2 buckets of hot popcorn when they're watching it.

Takara Tomy is the best !!!

P-Garage is our Die Cast Car Collection !

Papoy is now 3 yrs and 3 months old, so as a typical Porkidigan he started a hobby like everybody else in Porky's Cavern. He is collecting die-cast metal cars, everything from sport car, van, truck, tractor and bus. His current personal favorite is bus, garbage truck and fire truck.You can read more about the die cast toy here. The scale is 1:43, the most common scale available in the market today. Porky have requested all collection to be documented in this archive so it won't be lost in time, hence the creation of a label, P-Garage (guess what P stands for ?). See our collection click 'P-Garage' .

Porky ask why the cars are park in the middle of the road ?
