Oh Lemon!

My colleague Cherlyn, help me buy the green lemon and they seems much bigger than what i have bought previously. And i shop around during lunch just now at NTUC & market, theirs also very big. Is that because they are of the same batch? I dont know, because NTUC is selling at $6.90/kg. But they are really big at NTUC today, as big as the yellow lemon...

mmm may be i shld do more enzyme since the big green lemons are available! BUT i do not have much more containers left, only 1 which i just bought from Ikea last week... how... the rest will can only be "harvest" this weekend... may be i can buy & store in the fridge ...mmm

Last night I tasted the orange enzyme which i "harvest" on Sunday. omg, it tasted like "beer" & it has a layer settled, so need to shake abit, then it really look & tasted like "beer", of course no alcohol content lah...It is also very sour...because on the 3rd-4th day, i did not taste as then wasnt much juice available...resulted in sour hahaha....lesson learnt:- must taste the enzyme on 3rd-4th day...

I also bought the pear enzyme for my colleagues to try, well cherlyn quite like but not anne & corrine, corrine just feel that the after taste is sweet & it smell like her mum's chicken soup(OMG). However, after me saying the orange enzyme tasted like beer, she also wanna try some! And i warn her, that is much more sour...:D

Pineapple Enzyme

Finally, I have made the pineapple enzyme yesterday. Wow to "slaughter" the pineapple is so difficult. May be because i m not a fruit seller & as skillful, hahaha...

For information, we need to cook more rice because, the bottom layer rice will be burnt so we cant use. If we cooked exactly the amount of rice we consume, i afraid we may not have enough to fill all stomach.

Papaya Enzyme

Today i also make papaya enzyme, I think making papaya enzyme is the cheapest of all. The whole big papaya cost only $1.35 and can make about 2 tins.

Mandarine Orange Enzyme

My orange enzyme is finally ready after 2 weeks... they all look the same in colour & also taste very the same...hmmm the content however must be different, cos they are of different fruits. But there is 1 fruit enzyme i made (in process) is of very different colour, that is red dragon fruit.

Container

Last night i went to Tampines Ikea & Giant, I got another container from Ikea, 2L. Giant also selling the container that i m using. Err i m not advertising for any supermarkets, just that previously someone asked me, so i might as well find out more for all to consider.

This bottle can only be found in Ikea, if u go to the website u should be able to see. Cost $3.00.

The above container i bought from Ikea, some other places also selling similar ones, but i think Ikea price is more reasonable, is a 2L @ $4.00, they have 2 other sizes smaller,

This one above, I bought from NTUC before the GST increase @ $3.70 with 1.5L capacity. I also saw it at OG, Giant, Previously "Seiyu". If OG having sales with less 20% then OG will be the cheapest. I actually bought from Bedok central NTUC, but yesterday i went to check they have no stock, may can try Simei NTUC, the one right below the MRT, they selling lots of household items.

FYI only

Pineapple rice

This is my pineapple rice, well it doesnt looks as good as in DJ violet's blog, but still acceptable by my 2 elder kids. As this pineapple rice also meant for children, I did not put in the green pea & ham, and intend to replace with hot dog, but forgotten, abit sour, may be is the juice that added in last(abit too much bah). Will try again as requested...haha by Queenie

Pear Enzyme

I have pour out the Pear enzyme, well, yield slightly more than the grapefruit enzyme...heehee. And this time i used only the pear to make the Jam. Now i make very little first. If passed then i can make somemore later...

Pear Jam

Pear enzyme

Pineapple rice & pear enzyme

This the pineapple & tumeric poweder i bought from NTUC this morning for my pineapple rice tonight...heehee, big right...the left over pineapple can use to make enzyme if any

This is the green pear enzyme is ready to harvest liao. Later i will pour out let see how much enzyme it produce.

Green Lemon

Base on the pictures i taken last night, I think the green lemon really can make a lot of difference in producing "water". That morning(wed) i looked at the red dragon fruit & Kiwi Enzyme, the water level still remain the same leh!, I need to go search for the bigger lemon and replace them. Otherwise, at the end of 2 weeks, i may get much lesser enzyme!!!:(

Now they have produce enzyme of acceptable level:)

can refer here for English version of the enzyme http://hedycyy.blogspot.com

The wrong green lemon

Cloudy & Raining day

Dont know if later go back can capture clearer pictures, cos today is cloudy & raining day... no sun at all.

Enzyme - dragon fruit (Red)

Tonight i have made the red dragon fruit enzyme. But made a few mistake. 1st i bought the wrong green lemon. I don't know this batch is from which country, but they have seeds, smaller, and lesser juices. Usually i buy, they are either from Australia or Thailand, and the cost are $6.90 and $4.00 respectively per kg. And this batch cost only $3.00 per kg.

May be i should not be so greedy, but green lemon are really hard to find, even the expensive one, they are usually very little in quantity or not in good/acceptable quality. They also don't replenish their stock regularly, that's why is difficult to get.

2nd, i broke my big glass container when i pour in hot water, sigh! again this big container is about the same price as my those 1.5L containers. So again "Yi fen cian yi fen huo" bah. I have another but didnt take out to wash, so use back my that 1.5L container..and another one i bought from Ikea (abt 1.1L capacity) cost abt $3.00. Bec i intend to make alot so when i broke the big one, i need another one to make up the capacity...as if i making to sell. Now i know why they need to sell so expensive liao.

I also top up the white carrot, but they isn't producing much juices.

Tomorrow, i will post the pictures, bec just now i took the pictures wasn't very nice. I will retake again when i get home before sunset then the results will be better.

Oh ya before i forgot, last night i used the fruit residues from grapefruit to make JAM, haha not very successful, BECAUSE, i put too much lemon in and become too sour liao. i try again when i open the green pear enzyme on this friday or sat.

Enzyme - Grapefruit

Today i open my grapefruit enzyme after 14 days, but quite disappointing because the 1.5l container only produce most 600-700ml of enzyme. The bottle i bought from Ikea is 1l capacity.

I also use the left over fruit to make jam. but don't know if it is successful

Enzyme - carrot

Today i made the carrot enzyme, yesterday managed to get organic carrot from NTUC, look quite ok, so i bought, but abit expensive. Total about $6. The "mai ya tang" can be found at supermarket. At first, i still went round chinese medical halls & asked, but they dont have, lucky i found them at supermarket later. Not very expensive, about $1.50. I made the white carrot for my children, because they have cough. The last round i have already made once and they have finished. Hope it can really help, because i have already spent alot of $$ on seeing doctors (western or chinese). Sigh!

Enzyme - Mandarin Orange

Today is Day 5 and the bubbles are overflowing out of the container. Next time, must not fill to the top, cos when bubbles forms, they will burst out. See below bubbles, so much.

By the way, i have bought the white carrot to make the enzyme tomorrow, but the green lemon, is quite difficult to buy. Either they are not fresh or they are too expensive. sigh!

DAY 5

The mandarin orange, i pour over to another container and cut the orange then top-up so that more juice is seen. This is on DAY 3.

I think my mandarin orange cutting not quite correct, cos the juice din really come out, later must ask around. Think must cut like the lemon. heehee

Orange Enzyme

Yesterday, I made the Mandarin orange & top up the pear enzyme. Looks very colourful, looks like the orange also produce less water than grapefruit & dragon fruit. I wanted to try pineapple enzyme, but mmm weak stomach people need to consume after meals instead of empty stomach.

To sum off the pear enzyme

use another 1.5 big pear ($1 each pear)

another 3-4 lemons, cos it taste abit too sweet.
