Homemade Korean Bulgogi and Mantou

We had Korean and Chinese for dinner yesterday, prepped by chef Sherilyn:
~ steamed mantou (dough mixed in TMX6)
~ Korean Bulgogi pork
~ roast duck (gift from a friend)

The texture of the mantou is 100% perfect — soft, fluffy and pillowy. Super addictive once you start to eat a bite. I tried hard to resist popping more into my mouth since it’s only empty calories.

The Korean Bulgogi tastes 100% like the real deal. Sherilyn marinated the pork for over 24 hours with fresh pear juice, sesame seed oil, soy sauce, sugar, onions, garlic and ginger juice. She blended the pear, onions, ginger and garlic in the TMX6.

As for the roast duck, I am not a fan of duck, so the mil and the girls who love duck had my portion. We gave some to Maria our part-time helper too.

Sherilyn dozed off with Haru on the couch last night and I had to jolt them up from their nap as Sherilyn hadn’t taken her shower yet. Haru gave us all a BIG heart attack today 😱. Read the story at my other blog.

Why Brides and Bridesmaids Love Tulle Dresses

Many brides dream of having a long wedding gown made from light tulle fabric.  Whether it is the fairytale-like charm, lightweightedness or frothy appearance that you are looking for in your wedding dress, tulle can help you achieve all that. Some brides prefer to have their chaperoning girls dressed up in long tulle bridesmaid dresses as well to match the wedding theme or the bride’s wedding gown design.

The fabric tulle is a very light, fine and stiff type of netting that can be made of a variety of fibers, such as silk, rayon or nylon. The most common fabric used to make tulle is polyester. Tulle is very popular in the wedding industry because it’s versatile and allows designers to create beautiful, mesmerizing and elaborate designs.

Tulle fabrics are a perfect pick for evening dresses, wedding attire and even gift packaging.  Alfabridal has a lovely range of long tulle bridesmaids dresses that even brides can pick as wedding gown.  Not only is tulle amazing for creating the illusion of volume, it is also extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. This means that the bride or bridesmaids won’t need to pull along any extra weight of the dress as they go around the wedding venue.  Compared to fabrics like satin or chiffon, tulle creates an ethereal appearance while providing volume like a cloud without looking bulky. 

I love the range of long tulle bridesmaids dresses at Alfabridal. You’ll find one shouldered dresses, spaghetti straps dresses, tube dresses, halter neck dresses and much more made from tulle; and you can choose from over 50 sweet colors in 14 sizes or have your dress custom-made to your specification.
