📍 Madai Caves, Kunak

The Madai Caves located within the Madai Baturong Forest Reserve are an ancient treasure of Sabah’s east coast. Embedded within a network of limestone hills near the town of Kunak, the caves are home to thousands of swiftlets whose prized nests are collected for the preparation of ‘bird’s nest soup’. Walking through this magnificent complex, you will also discover the coffins of ancient Borneans who once took shelter in caves such as these.

☘️ Hot and Sour Soup

💚 Veggie Super Chef Contest (1st Season) Voting Results - Thank you so much for everyone’s support, I am really pleased to tell you that my recipe was selected as one of the Top 6!

Here, I would like to share this super easy, yet absolutely delicious recipe with you. I hope you’ll have a go at making it.

The main ingredients for this soup are tofu, bamboo shoots, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried wood ear mushrooms, carrots, mung bean vermicelli (glass noodles), chilli bean paste, vinegar etc; cooked in a clear soup. The dish is characterised by it's sour, spicy, fresh, salty and fragrant flavours.

This soup is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. It is an indispensable and appetising healthy food which will helps to relieve heat in the hot summer.

Since dried shiitake mushrooms and dried wood ear mushrooms may not be something that people in the UK are familiar with, I have used fresh shiitake mushrooms in this recipe instead, and omitted the dried wood ear mushrooms. However, the traditional ingredients can be found in any Chinese supermarket, Amazon, and Sous Chef.

Shiitake mushrooms are one of the most popular mushrooms worldwide. They are prized for their rich, savory taste and diverse health benefits. Compounds in shiitake may help fight cancer, boost immunity, and support heart health.

You’ll only need 4-5 dried shiitake mushrooms (乾香菇) and 1 piece of dried wood ear mushrooms (木耳). The cooking method for these two ingredients are different to the fresh alternatives, if you have managed to find them and want to use them, let me know and I’ll be happy to explain.

I have found all the suppliers for the above ingredients and have attached the images in the comments below if you do want to give them a go.

You can get the fresh shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots and mung bean vermicelli from Tesco, just make sure you search online to ensure they stock them in the branch that you visit.

【我為何在自己的家鄉不受歡迎】有信仰沒信仰，我想快樂才重要！ Homesick in Taiwan | Struggles and Benefits of Leaving America：https://youtu.be/-3TGNMbFGtI

[ENGLISH BELOW]

我四年前搬到台灣的時候已經有計劃在三年內搬回去美國，但是住在台灣的第一年我就知道我應該會永遠在台灣. 一開始搬到新的國家不簡單，但是透過適應和學習的過程中可以慢慢地建立一個新的家. 因為疫情和其他發生的問題我很久沒回家而應該三到四年不會回去我開始有「想家」感覺. 但是想久之後發現我的家就在這，我想念的事就是我的家人，朋友和墨西哥菜.

我想家最大的原因是因為我永遠不能回去我心裡中的家. 已經離家太久了，家庭的小孩們都長大，環境都改了，而因為我最近的生活選擇我與一些家人朋友的關係永遠不會一樣. 我一開始想到這一點感覺有點難過，但是我現在對於這一點感覺很開心！我們的生活是該我們計劃的，並不是其他人，文化，或宗教. 我找到了一個適合我的地方，快樂的生活道路和一直支持我的朋友，不關我信什麼.

此影片的畫面已經在我的硬碟三年，我一直都在想我要什麼時候完成，如何剪接，和我在美國最後一天可以變成一個生命的教訓. 我想家，但是我也不想家. 我因為一些社會上的問題感覺好像我失去了我在美國的家，這樣我才那麼感謝把台灣叫做我的家. 大家，別以為我難過沮喪，我反而很快樂而高興！

When I initially moved to Taiwan, I had a three-year plan to move back to the United States. However, upon my first year in Taiwan, I knew that plan would never follow through. Moving abroad is not an easy thing, but after molding yourself through experiences and new life opportunities creating a new home is easy to accomplish. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic I haven’t and my parents moving to Guam, I may not return home for quite some time and have started to miss home. But thinking long about the term “Missing Home” has made me realize that I don’t miss home because I have one here; it’s my friends, family, and Mexican food that I miss.

I have had this video on my hard drive for three years now, not knowing how to edit it and always postponing it. This video is a great way to look back at what matters most to me and see how I have grown and what I have realized and learned while living abroad, a place much different than I grew up. Leaving home, family, culture, religion, or any prized possession is complicated, but they should never hold you down. Home is where you make it; your life should be paved by yourself, with no outside influences. I’ve allowed myself to think through this stage of being homesick to realize that I am happier now and have found my purpose despite the new differences in life.
