November 7, 08

Dear Fellow domestic Helpers,

I can’t believe it is November already! It’s time to put away the summer-wear and take out all the long sleeves clothing for your employer’s family as well as for yourself. I hope all of you are healthy and happy working with your employer’s family; nonetheless, it’s really a two-way street if you want to keep a good relationship with your employer. As long as you show you care for the employer’s family and fulfill all your duties and did it well as always; I am sure your employer will show their appreciation to you from time to time.

Anyway, since the weather is getting drier, I have an easy Chinese dessert/sweet soup recipe which I can share with you so you may prepare for your employer’s family to keep everybody’s throat lubricated:

Yellow Pears with White Fungus & one tablespoon of sweet/bitter almond seeds – for a 4-5 people family, use about 4 yellow pears(Chinese duck pears), cut each pear into 4 slices(keep skin on), then cut off stem and seed area in the middle. Put all pears and almond seeds in 10 bowls of boiling water. For white fungus – soak white fungus (about 2-3 pieces) in warm water until soften and cut off brown parts and also put in boiling water which already has the pears being put in earlier. Cook with medium fire for 1/2 hour and one hour small fire: then add some rock sugar for taste and turn off stove to serve. (In case you don’t know what is white fungus or you don’t have this ingredient; you may just cook with the pears and add rock sugar – this will do also).

Lastly, we do have a lot of requests from employers who are looking for finished contract helper(s) to care for new born baby, young children or elderly….if you have friends who are looking for work in HK; please ask them to apply at our office, we can help to put the applicants’ video thru the internet, thus can increase the girls’ chance of getting hire faster. Meanwhile, Mr. Chan is planning to interview at Sacred Heart Agency- Laoag on Nov. 18 & 19 and Manila office at Nov. 20, 08; please tell your friends or relatives if they are interested.

Have a great month and Kindest Regards,
