Stutong Park Macro Outing with the Kuching Shutterbugs

I woke up early today for my second outing with the Kuching Shutterbugs after the first one to the White-cloud Waterfall. Apart from the passion for photography, these people are funny and humorous who make good hang-out buddies too. There's never lacking of jokes when Alex and Mick are around.

Today's outing is purely macro photography for small living things. Stutong Park has plenty of those, so we went. Although it was an overcast morning, and the walked through the Park made us sweat like buffaloes!

Alright, no more words from me, just pictures!

These photos are also available on my Multiply.

Power Jelly

The Cantonese people are very health conscious that they use a remarkable number of herbs to help in regulating the body heat. Gwai ling gou (龟苓膏, gui ling gao) is a type of jelly that is said to cool down the body heat, so we went into this specialist shop to have it.

It can be had either hot or cold. I chose the cold one because I needed something refreshing then.

The jelly is basically bitter in taste with the smell of herbs. So, adding some honey helps to make it more easy on the taste bud of those who are afraid of bitterness.

If you don't like honey, adding some fine sugar also helps to ease the bitterness of the jelly.
