- Celebrating under the Moonlight
Elegant gift ideas to celebrate a beautiful Moon Cake Festival! MY BLUE TEA LOVES CELEBRATING AND SHARING THE GOOD STUFF! WE HAVE 14 MOONCAKE MOULDS TO GIVE AWAY + 28 Mini Lanterns! Here's how you get them We are giving away 14 Mooncake Moulds with every Australia and International purchase over A$89.00 as a way to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon Cake Festival. Purchases must include two packs of Pandan Powder 50 grams OR one Blue Butterfly Pea Powder 50 grams. The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Mid-autumn Day, is the second most important festival in China after the Chinese New Year. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, which is always in the middle of the autumn season in China, hence its name Mid-Autumn. This year the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on 10th September 2022. Time for Family Reunion In Chinese culture, the full moon symbolises reunion. It is a reminder from Nature when we look up and see the moon getting fuller each day that we need to start our journey and head off home soon. This is a time to reunite with families. People worship the moon together, and appreciate the beauty of the moon. A delicious and sumptuous reunion dinner is prepared and families end the meal sharing mooncakes and tea to celebrate the reunion. During the Mid-Autumn festival, people also give gifts. It is a way to share what is good and bountiful with the people we care about. Here are four of the most popular Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. The 4 Most Popular Mid-Autumn Festival Gifts 1. Mooncake — The Classic Must-Have Gift A mooncake is a must-have food during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you have ever seen one of these you'd fall in love with them. They do make very pretty gifts and whether it is the traditional mooncake with the golden brown pastry or more modern ones with the pretty pastel snowskins, they are often too pretty to eat! It is common to give mooncakes as presents and you can find many shops offering sets of mooncakes in beautiful gift boxes. Good quality mooncakes can be pricey, so a box is often highly appreciated. If you find yourself spoilt for choice with so many new flavours out in the market nowadays, you can always rely on the classic flavours e.g. five kernels and roast pork, lotus seed paste, and red bean paste. 2. Fresh Hairy Crab — A Gift to Whet the Appetite Autumn in China is the best season to eat hairy crabs. They are readily available during this season so it makes sense to have them on the list of must-have gifts. So for those of you who do have access to these delicious critters, it´s the perfect timing because our Chilli Crab recipe has just been published! Unfortunately, Autumn is not the season for crabs in Australia. What we learnt from local fishermen in Port Macquarie is that the months without an "r" in them i.e. May, June, July and August are low crab season. Perhaps they are hibernating and taking a rest from surviving in the deep blue sea. Or perhaps they are just smart enough to hide from humans knowing we find them really delicious! During the reunion dinner, it is popular to have a hairy crab dish. Hairy crab is regarded as a delicacy with its sweet, tender, juicy meat, nutritious value and yummy taste. Some people order it online and have it delivered to friends as a gift. 3. Tea — Calming Drink with Mooncakes The Chinese are really good at blending the types of food they eat, and there´s always a sort of yin-yang balance among the different types of food. That´s why it is typical to have a cup of tea when eating mooncakes. The mooncake can be very sweet and despite its small size, it is actually quite a 'heavy' sort of food to consume. That is why a typical-sized mooncake is shared, and not consumed by just one person. Tea is regarded as a healthy drink in China, so it is the perfect drink to complement mooncakes. Tea is light and helps to balance out the full-bodied mooncake. The Chinese drink tea as a part of their daily ritual, and they enjoy serving guests good quality tea. It is a good gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival and you can hardly go wrong with choosing a nice blend. We recommend Blue Goddess with Tie Guan Yin. OR discover our new tea called "Purple Rain Tea" infused with pineapple, sour apple and lemons and of course, our signature Butterfly Pea Tea. 4. Fruit Basket — Good Health is the Best Gift Fruit baskets bring with it a whole host of positive symbolism, of good health, freshness, bountiful harvests. The most popular fruits for the Mid-Autumn Festival are pears, grapes, grapefruits, and pomegranates. Depending on where you are, they are ripe in autumn and have positive symbolism. For example, eating a pear during the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolises a family always staying together and never being apart. Consumers are more health conscious nowadays and more aware of being responsible consumers and taking care of the planet, the economy and the people involved. Many are choosing to eat only seasonal fruit or what they have in their local areas. It´s a good idea to give the fruits listed above as a gift, but also don't rule out other fruits that are perhaps more readily available. You may want to check out what the symbolism of each fruit is first.

- Universal Chilli Crab Recipe
Jump to Recipe Chilli Crab (also known as là jiāo páng xiè, 辣椒螃蟹) is a Southeast Asian seafood dish originating from Singapore. Mud crabs are commonly used and are stir-fried in a semi-thick, sweet and savoury tomato-and-chilli-based sauce. It is listed at number 35 on the World's 50 most delicious foods list compiled by CNN Go in 2011. Origin of the Singapore chilli crab Roland Lim is a Singaporean restaurateur and it was his mother Cher Yam Tian who first came up with the idea of the chilli crab. "During the old days in the 1950s, we were living in a kampong, which is similar to a village, on a hill in Singapore. My mother loved to cook and my father loved to eat. We lived near the water and my father would catch crabs and bring them home and give them to my mother to cook. One day, my father asked her, “Why do you only steam cook the crabs? Can you do something different with them?” So my mother emerged from the kitchen with the chilli crab and started cooking it more often." Chilli Crab Recipe COOKING INGREDIENTS 1 kg crab **Wash clean and cut into small pieces Ingredients (A): 1 pack @my.blue.tea Spargo Sambal Tumis Base (50g) 30g chilli powder 300ml water 70ml cooking oil Ingredients (B): 10g @my.blue.tea Native Chilli flakes 100g onions (blend) 20g ginger (blend) 2 nos lemongrass (blend) Ingredients (C): 10g salt 50g sugar 100g tomato sauce or Pasata 100ml water COOKING METHOD: 1. Heat up oil and stir-fry crab pieces for 5 minutes. Set aside. 2. Mix well ingredients (A) and pour onto the existing cooking oil and cook under medium-high heat until fragrant. 3. Add ingredients (B) and stir well. Cook until fragrant and oil rises. 4. Add ingredients (C) and the pre stir-fried crab meat. Simmer for 10 minutes over small medium fire until the crab pieces are fully cooked. 5. Garnish with coriander leaf and ready to serve with rice. Etiquette for eating chilli crabs Some may be wondering how you attack these delicious little critters. Of course you can always try to be elegant and struggle with a knife and fork, and some gifted ones among us may even be quite deft with a pair of chopsticks Karate Kid style, but we all know that the most practical, easiest and most delicious way to eat chilli crabs is really with your fingers! Use a communal spoon to get a piece on your plate, but once it's yours, go for it with your fingers and trust us when we say, chilli crabs give a whole new meaning to the idea of finger lickin' good. In fact, we'd go so far as to say it's plate lickin' good! Sources : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilli_crab https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/inspiration/articles/singapore-famous-chilli-crab
- Puteri Ayu dessert recipe fit for a Princess and the Queen
A new take on Puteri Ayu for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Jump straight to recipe This year, we celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 2022. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will become the first Australian Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service. Flashback: 70 years ago, at about 3pm on February 5, 1952, Victoria Arbiter, a Princess became Queen. This delightful dessert has a name as pretty as its taste. Puteri means ´princess´ and ayu means ´pretty´. Pandan Puteri Ayu was first published in 2017. To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we added extra flavours and colours which include Purple Sweet Potato, Jackfruit and Durian Latte blends plus Roselle or Dragonfruit Powders. Puteri Ayu is a traditional Malay and Indonesian dessert with a sponge like texture and flavoured with Pandan and coconut cream or white coconut topping. It’s a delicious kuih, fragrant with Pandan and with a lovely light, moist texture and spongy. Yum! This kuih is normally steamed in small plastic moulds which you can get from night markets in Asia. Buy as many moulds as you can fill in your steamer so that you steam many kuihs at any one time. The kuih comes in many flavours nowadays and keeps extremely well in the freezer if you have made a large batch. As the Queen loves yellow, we have created a "Yellow Puteri Ayu" version to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with the beautiful flavours of Durian and Jackfruit.

Meaning of Kueh/Kuih/Kue - Kuih (Indonesian: kue; also called kueh in Hokkien) are bite-sized snack or dessert foods originating from Malaysia. It is a fairly broad term which may include items that would be called cakes, cookies, dumplings, pudding, biscuits, or pastries in English and are usually made from rice or glutinous rice. The term kueh or kuih is widely used in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Indonesia to refer to sweet or savoury desserts. Though called by other names, one is likely to find various similar versions of kuih in neighbouring countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar. For example, the colourful steamed kue lapis and the rich kuih bingka ubi are also available in Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Kuihs are not confined to a certain meal but can be eaten throughout the day. They are an integral part of Malaysian, Indonesian, Bruneian and Singaporean festivities such as Hari Raya and Chinese New Year, which is known as Tahun Baru Cina in Malay among the Peranakan. Many kuih are sweet, but some are savoury. In the northern states of Perlis, Kedah, Perak, and Kelantan, kuih (kuih-muih in Malay) are usually sweet. In the Southeast Peninsular states of Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Selangor, savoury kuih can be found. Kuih are more often steamed than baked, and are thus very different in texture, flavour and appearance from Western cakes or puff pastries. #Pandan #VEGAN #malaykueh #butterflypeaflowertea #bungatelang #sriputerikueh
- My Blue Tea - Never leave home without it
Travelling with My Blue Tea is easy! As the world opens up, it is clear that people are once again stretching their legs and wanting to either visit family and friends or explore new places. It was not so long ago that empty airports looked like the eerie filmset of a horror movie.

There are so many ways to travel and things to do beyond the conventional take-a-plane-and-fly-somewhere.

So if you're off in a caravan, a train or a plane, you can easily take a few slim packs of My Blue Tea products with you so you´ll always have a taste of home wherever you go! Veronica Lind, Business and Marketing Strategist from Vermilion Pinstripes and CEO of Brilliant-Online recently crossed literally oceans and seas from Australia all the way to Luxembourg to visit her newborn granddaughter, Victoria. As it is common practice to want to take along some small gifts for friends and family, Veronica decided My Blue Tea's range of products would be the easiest to take along. As she was flying (a lot!) and through so many different countries before she could land in Luxembourg, she had to make sure that whatever she brought in her luggage would not cause any problems. Liquid pastes are not allowed onboard, so My Blue Tea´s spice blends worked a breeze. She put together a delightful assemble of spice blends, stashed them in her luggage, and My Blue Tea landed happily with her and has been making many tastebuds happy since!

- Caravanning and Gold Prospecting around Australia
Don't leave home without a cup of My Blue Tea of course ... This blog been waiting patiently to be brought to light since last May. We originally intended to publish this blog in 2021, thinking it would be a good idea to share travelling routes around Australia, do some gold prospecting...plans the Grey Nomads would be keen on, but Covid forced many to shelf their travelling plans. Now that borders are opening from 1st April 2022, we decided to dust off this blog and give it the airspace it has been eagerly waiting to enjoy. The routes are certainly still relevant, and those who are eager to stretch their legs and do some exploring may well appreciate the caravanning option. Travel, and Support Australia Over the Covid period, you may have seen these headlines splashed across social media and the news. Australia, your country needs you! Do something you’ve never done before!! Younger generation discover joys of caravanning for Covid-era holidays COVID caravaners buy up stock with no sign of industry slowing down One of our colleagues @my.blue.tea decided to take his well-earned three weeks off and create his own Great Nomad Trail with some gold prospecting thrown in and, of course, you never leave home without some Blue Tea in your backpack! A New Way to Travel With travel abroad restricted during the pandemic, many have been looking at caravans and motorhomes through fresh eyes. And sales for these vehicles are booming. This is an alternative way to travel, and why not? Holidays are a time for joy, relaxation, adventure or being with family and friends, but they can also bring stress. Sometimes it could be planning the itinerary and making sure you can fit in all your plans, trying to coordinate everyone´s holiday schedules, or finding someone to look after your cat while you´re away for three weeks. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a whole new level of stress, and a different mindset and approach to travelling. In spite of that, humans are amazingly adaptable creatures. And the pandemic has made holidaymakers see caravanning, often deemed a less fashionable alternative to camping, through new eyes. The confusion about overseas travel has sent internet searches soaring, while dealerships are struggling to get their hands on enough caravans to meet demand. Buyers face growing waiting times, and rising raw material costs have also pushed up prices. The upheaval caused by the lockdowns has meant, as is commonly seen in other industries, manufacturers are scrambling to meet the growing demand. Waiting times for new caravans have doubled from the usual 8 weeks to 16 and are heading towards 24 - a delay that is, in turn, boosting demand for pre-owned caravans. There is a Bright Side As a result of looking at alternative ways to travel, some allied business sectors are booming. This includes caravans, caravan parks and even cycling, not to mention the money spent in regional and rural Australia as opposed to abroad. As an example of how travel plans are changing and how this is affecting industries, we went to BCF because we could not get a removable awning for our marquee. Everything was sold out, and the shelves were actually empty of camping equipment! Our Mandurah friend has a personal experience to share: When the pandemic and lockdown hit a year ago, the JobKeeper program allowed his business in Mandurah to keep staff on during an uncertain period. Mr Wiltshire said within six months "it just went ballistic". He said much of the interest came from people who formerly went on cruise holidays, and it also came from young families and people who have traditionally holidayed overseas. So along with a friend and avid gold prospector, we set off on our journey to discover parts of Australia and come home with pockets full of gold nuggets. Slide through the photos and spot My Blue Tea! Caravanning Generates Business For our next trip to Western Australia, we are already planning for a 6-month holiday on the road. The City of Bunbury in Western Australia has made a controversial move to offer free caravan rest stops. They are making permanent a two-year trial to allow caravans to stay for free for up to 48 hours. While there is opposition from the holiday park industry, the increase in interest in caravanning is generating business for the local communities. The City of Bunbury is two hours' drive south of Perth. For a long time, it has tried to capitalise on tourists travelling through to the more high-profile destinations of Margaret River and Busselton. Bunbury´s Mayor Gary Brennan said the two-year, free-rest-stop trial is achieving this aim - it has generated $360,000 for the local community and attracted 2,500 travellers. On Sunday the federal government launched a week-long, $5m advertising blitz encouraging domestic travel in 2021. Campsites such as Guyra Federal Trade, Tourism and Investment Minister Dan Tehan said the government wants Australians to get excited about holidaying domestically. “Our country is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and this year is an opportunity for Australians to discover why,” he said. Domestic tourism is worth $100bn to the economy and the industry supports more than 621,000 jobs. Tourism Australia’s managing director Phillipa Harrison said the “Holiday Here This Year” campaign was about “capitalising on this pent-up demand by providing these people with all the content and inspiration they need to convert this desire and yearning for a holiday into actual bookings”. CARAVANNING & GOLD PROSPECTING - A MARRIAGE MADE IN GOLD Gold Prospecting Areas of New South Wales List of Gold Nuggets Found in New South Wales MAPPING A 21-DAY TRAVEL Our journey started here on the Mid North Coast but in heading south to Echuca to meet with friends we decided to head inland to avoid the Sydney traffic. We stayed overnight in a roadside campsite out west, along with about 10 other campers. We encountered some pesky little mice that were probably part of the larger plague of mice and they managed to chew into one of the chairs that we had left outside. Travelling south via Parkes (we inspected the old aircraft at the airport) and Forbes, we spent several nights on the roadside sipping our Blue Tea and just contemplating the landscape all around us. Beautiful Australia - top left Echuca When we reached Echuca, we caught up with our friends and stayed just one night. In the morning we dropped down into Bendigo’s goldfields and camped for a few nights. We met an old-time prospector who lived in the State Forest for ‘god knows how many years´. But he was very helpful with advice and had even buried a poly pipe in the ground which he then used to help fine-tune the detectors – so that got us even more excited to start our ‘walks’. Having found no gold but lots of tin, we decided to head north and after checking out the lovely little town of Wentworth we camped the night at Fort Courage just outside the town and on the banks of the Darling River. This was another lovely spot where we enjoyed our Blue Tea and the spectacular sunsets. For those interested, Wentworth lies at the confluence of Australia's two most important rivers, the Darling and the Murray, the latter forming the border with the state of Victoria to the south Moving north, we camped for one night on the banks of Lake Menindee and watched as the flow of water from the recent rains further north made their way down the Darling and into what had previously been a completely dry lake system. The only disturbance here was the noise of the generator that nearby campers had running all night. Leaving Menindee behind, we made a short incursion into a lovely little weekender spot called Sunset Strip. It sits on the northern part of the Lake, and there is a smallish golf course, library and even drinks and BBQ night weekly. Beautiful morning and evening shots at Fort Courage. Makes you never want to leave. It was then a short hop to Broken Hill where we visited the mine site viewing area. And we encountered a high chair just for me! With not much gold to find in town, and after enjoying an old fashion milkshake at Bells Milkbar and Museum and topping up supplies, we headed to Milparinka and camped nearby. We just loved Milparinka with its classic one pub town and restored court house and police cells, but what was most fascinating was the fact there was just one power pole with a single street light and it was totally an underground power connection. Unfortunately, we were not able to buy a beer at the pub and have a look inside as there was no electricity in town that day. Speaking with the locals, we also learnt that a lot of the gold areas were now in private hands, so prospecting in the area was no longer an option. So we set off to Tibooburra - the largest town in the Corner Country and our furthest point from home. We then spent several nights in the Aboriginal Campsite area which was surrounded by a number of gold prospecting opportunities. The only success came when I found a spoon that was originally nickel-silver plated. As a diversion to gold chasing, we visited the local pub made famous by Clifton Pugh who once owned the pub and had decorated the walls with some of his own handiwork. It is a lovely little town and well worth a visit if just to spend an evening at Sunset Hill watching the sunset. Collin, who had worked in the town before, was able to reconnect with some former but still local people. Ebor Falls - The Gumbaynggirr people traditionally called Ebor Falls ‘Martiam’, which means ‘The Great Falls’. A great stop-off between the coast and Armidale along Waterfall Way, Ebor Falls offers spectacular waterfall views, scenic lookouts and a picnic area. Here, you can watch the Guy Fawkes River plunge 100 metres over two waterfalls at Ebor Falls. There are three lookout platforms along the edge of the gorge - upper falls, lower falls and valley view - and these give spectacular views out into the rugged gorge country. From here, we headed to Bourke with our journey taking us on the Cut Line but not before stopping at Wanaaring on the way for what can only be described as a great burger. On the road again we were surprised to round a corner on a dirt and corrugated road and find six model T cars heading in the other direction – with, I might add, a very large support vehicle behind them. We arrived at Bingara, and the orange trees lining Finch Street and circling the Gwydir oval are a unique feature of this place. The trees offer a different dimension to the attractiveness of the town - the air is heavy with the perfume of the flowers in the spring, and the beauty of ripening fruit can be seen throughout the autumn. However, it is the fact that they have become a symbol of community pride that has attracted international interest. Planted as a living memorial to Bingara’s fallen in World Wars I and II, the trees and the annual harvesting of the fruit by the local school children (the orange police) happens on only one day of the year. Bingara Orange Festival - Costa having fun with the kids and of course, oranges. In 1998, an annual festival was held to emphasise the importance of Bingara’s orange trees while celebrating Bingara’s cultural heritage. The Bingara Orange Festival provides an entertaining week of festivities for the community, surrounding district and visitors. We wanted to participate at the Bingara Orange Festival but accommodation was booked out and the closest was Armidale which is about more than 100 kilometres away. That was a pity but perhaps we can consider being here at the 2022 Bingara Orange Festival (01-02 July, 2022) and get our accommodation going. On the way home, we passed through Burren Junction, Wee Waa and Narrabri (which is full of cotton farms now). We then camped in the Mount Kaputar National Park which had interesting scenic things to do but we arrived too late. It was then onward to Bingara, Inverell, Tingha and Guyra where we spent one night camping by the golf course and a place called the ‘Mother of Ducks Lagoon’ which is contained within the crater of an extinct volcano! We rolled on to Ebor (where we saw a really nice waterfall), then to Bellingen and finally, Home Sweet Home. Get Your Wheels on the Road Australia is a vast country so you really do need a caravan to get around. What is beautiful about exploring Australia is there are so many sights to discover and simply enjoy along the way in between big towns that you really cannot just speed through your trip. Caravanning is one way to do Slow Travel, where you can savour every single sight, smell, sound and taste along the way. And of course, never leave home without your trusty, relaxing, healthy Blue Tea!

"The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." - Theodore Hesburgh Remember to make the most of My Blue Tea's Mother´s Day offer, valid till 2nd May, we have the following products with up to 30% off. About Belinda Belinda started cooking when she was about 9! Talk about starting young! And her creativity was already raring to go from the very start. Her very first dish, 'Hairy Melon' was incredibly salty. She added everything she could find in the kitchen! Fortunately, her older siblings “enjoyed” the dish which encouraged Belinda to continue cooking. As they say, a little appreciation goes a long way, and it was thanks to the motivation and support she got from her siblings that got her to try out another dish and another! Belinda's style of cooking is intuitive or what some would call freestyling. This means she can and loves recreating her favourite restaurant dishes at home. The real treat and kick here is she not only makes the dishes taste similar or really close to what she had, but sometimes her version tastes even better! She does a little dance when her husband loves it and gives it a thumbs up! Chefs love sharing the joy of their cooking with the people they love, and it's this two-way connection that gives her the spark to love what she does. When you create and serve a dish with love, whoever is lucky to be on the receiving end returns the appreciation two-fold! Belinda's love for cooking goes beyond just creating the dishes themselves. She's also really into the photography and styling aspects of cooking and presenting dishes. It's one thing to make dishes taste good, and quite another skill to make them look good. Belinda has dedicated a lot of time to really get to know her food and learn about the aesthetic techniques of presenting them. When she sees what she has created come to a lovely fruition, she feels very thankful for divine creativity. It's a blessing for her, and that blessing ultimately gets shared and passed on to the people around her. Sharing her creations, her knowledge and experience on her social media brings joy to her and her followers. If you haven't seen Belinda's beautiful creations, get on to her Instagram now, and partake in a piece of the joy....and it may well inspire you to don that apron and whip up some creativity of your own!
