The "Suan Pan Zi" team

Maria videoed the joy of making hakka "suan pan zi". Mum, Lia, Maria, Johnny, Lois, Soo Fong and Nicholas were having a fun time preparing the ingredients and forming the shape of abacus from the dough. Is it called the dough? I'm not sure. Anyway, I can see that each of them was doing their part and enjoying it.

Trying out a new recipe to me is always mysterious and exciting. However, it is also challening because most of us would want the best "end result". Though the "end result" may be important, but the entire process of preparations and getting into action is far more enjoyable, satisfying and perhaps therapeutic. I always find it really therapeutic especially when I do baking, the lingering smell from the oven would lift me up.
