Avocado Dips

Do you know that:

High avocado intake has been shown to have an effect on blood serum cholesterol levels. Specifically, after a seven day diet rich in avocados, hypercholesterolemia patients showed a 17% decrease in total serum cholesterol levels. These subjects also showed a 22% decrease in both LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and 11% increase in HDL (good cholesterol) levels. [wikipedia].

Sukiyaki Pork Tenderloin

Sukiyaki Pork tenderloin are paper thin slices of pork. These are my favourites, after cooked, it taste like soft bak kua (grill pressed meat). Make sure they are fresh when you buy them (meat color is red) as some looks pale after a while on the rack. Here is how you prepare them:

Wash and pat dry pork tenderloin
Cut into 2 slices each
