Watercress with Carrot and Water Chestnut

I've been lazy in posting blog recently. Just being lazy. I have thought of baking an Orange Chiffon Cake today, I've even squeezed the orange juice and segregate the egg yolks and egg whites, but I really "tak larat" to do it so I used the eggs to make poached eggs and orange juice for my breakfast. I toasted the baquette to served with poached egg. (Should take photo but never thought of that maybe tend to be lazy) :oP

I boiled watercress again on last week this time with carrot and water chestnut. Very tasty and not too sweet cos i omitted brown candy from the original recipe. After boiled for 2hrs the water chestnut still crunchy.

200g brown candy (i omitted)
3 litres/3000ml water

Method:
Boil water in the pot, once boiled. Add in watercress and the remaining ingredients. Cover, cook over a lot heat for 2 hours. Serve hot.
