MCO food: Part 3

-
Ban and I took turns to shop for grocery and cook i.e. whoever shopped, he also cooked for the next few meals (started at 2 meals but increased to 3 later). The other person would be in charge of storing the grocery and, for the next few meals, washed dishes, wiped table and stove (I had been helping to do the last one all the time). We cooked only for dinner. For lunch, we bought food from our favourite chap fan shops.


This was, in my opinion, an improvement over the previous one in terms of rolling but replaced avocado with egg. Yum! Always love this meal.



Ban's mum passed us some fresh prawns (they were alive when she received them @@). I then seek advice from my family on how best to cook them. I followed my mum's recipe: "Marinade with white sauce, black sauce and sugar. Can be overnight. Then fry some garlic. Fry the prawn. Put a little water and stir fry till dry. Taste adjust as you please."

I believed I got the technique right but not enough seasoning. Fortunately, the sweetness of the prawn was more than enough to make it a delicious dish.

Fresh prawns best blanched or steamed without the need of much overpowering seasoning. Yummy!

William,
No ginger at the time for steaming. Ban's sensitive to smell :) Besides, I love this dark soy sauce style by my parents. Even Ban likes it.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
