Treat

What a treat it was two mornings ago! Friend needed help to run thru
IT specific issues for her upcoming World Expos project.

When I arrived at her apartment, I was greeted by her Office Manager
followed by a cup of favorable cup of coffee. Coffee, it was
aromatic. She took my suggestion of putting Cardamon and Ginger with
the coffee. Wow.... That woke me up. The sugar, she used the
Chinese block sugar that was grind up. The combination of the
Cardamon, Ginger and this refined sugar made the coffee tasted
different.

Then her Office Manager began to pound away at a big dough. He was
preparing a very common breakfast dish: fried green onion bread for
us. One can always get this bread on the street but just don't know
what kind of cooking oil and the ingredients used in order to make a
buck. So wonder to be able to have this home-made bread, fresh, warm
and when I chewed a mouth-full of it, it was soft and melt in my mouth.

This Office Manager was awesome, he not only could cook but also a
great handyman. Apparently, he used to own a construction company
next province over. Even won a major Interior Design award. His wife
wanted to move back to Shanghai, hence, he had to give up his biz and
move to Shanghai. He fixed many things in our apartment, light
transformers, sprout for the water cooler and painted our entire
apartment last year! Sorry guys, no export licence for him to
Canada....
