Here’re some photos and a video of Alicia celebrating her cousin, Natalie’s birthday at my mum’s place as well as at my brother’s on the next day.
Stealing a taste of the cake before it’s cut!
Let’s dig in!
Here’s Alicia concentrating very hard on drinking…
it’s the first time she’s so cooperative drinking straight from a packet!
It’s a pity we couldn’t capture more photos of the party held at my brother’s coz my camera battery went flat… but Alicia enjoyed herself! And judging from Nat’s behaviour last night, I’m sure she enjoyed every moment of her birthday party! 🙂
Ophiopogon tuber or mai dong (麥冬) can be brewed as a drink and these are its medical functions (obtained from here):
1. Effect on circulatory system:
(a) improves contraction of heart muscles
(b) protects heart muscle and arrhythmia
2. Anti-shock
3. improves toleration of lack of oxygen
4. improve immune system
5. improves recovery of cells of the pancreas and lowers blood sugar
6. anti-bacteria

I decided to brew this in particular to improve our immune systems, after the TCM doctor recommended this herb. Fortunately, despite the slight herby taste, Alicia still agreed to drink it. Phew.
