Kitchenware: 依立紫砂锅

Another one of our finds in Guangzhou.

Slow cooker made out of the reknowned 紫砂 (literally purple clay).

Lugged it all the way from Guangzhou to Macau, and back to Singapore!

Kitchen Pieces: Chinese Red Roses Vacuum Thermos Flask

I've always wanted one of these  vintage red thermos flasks with big red flowers.

What better place to get one of them than in China itself?

And, lucky us! 

We managed to chance upon an old run-down shop selling flasks along Shang Xia Jiu pedestrian street on our Guangzhou trip.

Selling at CNY33 (less than SGD8) for a medium-sized version
