Herbal Chicken Soup (炖鸡汤)

I like soup coz it is easy to cook and very nutritious. Last week, got a drumstick from my FMIL and so happened I have ready pack herbs for cooking soup. So convenient. ;) wash the non powder herbs and put into stew pot (炖盅). Then can start prep for chicken.
This is how stew pot look like.

~Prep the chicken~
I got a huge drumstick which comes with thigh. So I chopped the drumstick into two pieces. For soup better keep the chicken into big pieces if not all the meat will fall apart. Next is removing the skin and excess fat, so that the soup wouldn’t be so oily.
Boil a pot of water. When it’s boiled, throw in the chicken for 30 second. Once the chicken turn into lighter color, pick it up and put into stew pot.

Put a bowl of water into slow cooker, then put in the stew pot (with herbs and chicken in it)
Add water into the stew pot. Let it cook overnight. I used auto mood.
Next morning, add in some salt then u will have nice warm chicken soup for breakfast. J

Romantic Lace Nail

Finally, I bought my first pack of fake nail (a.k.a false nail). There are 10 sizes per pack and q a lot of false nail per size. I bought mine from Sg wang at RM24. In fact, they are having sales buy 2 at RM32. Now I regretted that I only bought 1 pack. >.<
How to hold false nail on screw hook? Dun have plasticine at home. So I am using cellophane tape. The false nail is not stick tightly on screw hook. It kept moving when I am drawing. >.< This is how it looks like.  
 
First step, sketch for nail art design.  Then, apply 2 coats of pink nail polish. Let it dry, then can start drawing with acrylic paint. After, the acrylic paint is FULLY dried up, apply top coat. If not, it will smear your design.
Dang dang dang dang… my finished product. J 

I bought another set of small screw hook next day. Yay!! Now I have 2 set of false nail holders.  It’s hard to draw with big screw hook holder coz it’s too high, I can’t rest my palm on the wood stick while drawing.  Hard to control my drawing coz my hand is shaking. ;p But big one can keep for applying nail polish. ;)
