This is a simple dish of rice fried in Korean style. It is just one of numerous other Korean dishes which takes advantage of the range of seasonings and flavours of the traditional fermented vegetables – kimchi – to enhance the flavours. The sour, at times spicy, taste of the preserved vegetables works wonders at making this an easy meal to chew on and digest. The bright red colour of the rice also helps to open up one’s appetite at the meal.

This romance-comedy has its story revolving around a sassy lawyer who helped to turn the life of a college boy around when she saved him from a murderer. That, in turn, led to her family and her own life being continuously threatened by the murderer after he was released from the prison. On the other hand, the college boy, who had the special ability to ‘hear’ someone else’s thoughts by looking into one’s eyes, had fastidiously decided to stay by the lawyer’s side to protect her and to repay her kindness. The combination of the lawyer’s wit and the boy’s special ability eventually helped to tide them through all the dangerous episodes in their life.
The Buddha hand fruit was only available in the supermarkets during the Chinese New Year festive season; two weeks after the festive celebrations, these fruits were all removed from the shelves. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to buy them back home before they were gone in order to find out more about these little (freaky) wonders of nature.
It was one memorable experience at the supermarket that we had while shopping for groceries on the weekend before Chinese New Year. We saw something that resembled a freak experiment out of a horror movie.
‘Eeeewwww… What’s that?!!‘ We asked each other. The signage calmly flashed out the words:
Buddha Hand — 1 for $3.25
What IS a Buddha hand?
This was our first time buying scallops from anywhere at all. It was an impulsive buy, and so we decided to make it a worthwhile impulse by getting our hands on one of the most expensive breeds that was frozen immediately and shipped all the way from the deep seas of Hokkaido, Japan, to Singapore.
