For seasoning: 
Soy Sauce
Sesame Oil
Small piece of Ginger
Spring Onions
Salt & Pepper to taste

& 2 pieces of Bak Kwa, cut into squares or small pieces

Method:
1. In a large pot, add rice, broth, salt, ginger, and scallions. Bring the pot to a boil & then lower to a simmer. Cook, stirring every 15 minutes until the rice breaks down & thickens into a porridge.
2. Cook about 1 hour if you like a thinner consistency, or 1 1/2 for thicker (up to your own preference).
3. Remove from heat & add in bak kwa. Since bak kwa is already cooked, the heat from the porridge will soften it up.
4. Serve with soy sauce and/or sesame oil & top with spring onions and/or garlic.

NICKELODEON FINDS MALAYSIAN HOME IN SUNWAY LAGOON - Malaysia’s first Nickelodeon themed attraction is now open!




Discover a hidden world covering ten acres of lush tropical rainforest within a jungle previously “lost” to the public! This is now a reality as Sunway and Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) announce the opening of the first Nickelodeon themed attraction in Asia, 

Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon in Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia.
(Photo above:  The official launch closed with a daylight fireworks display which added to the excitement for all the guests at Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon.)


Today’s launch was attended by VIPs, media, and invited guests. Attendees at the launch event were privy to a showcase of fireworks and the iconic Nickelodeon green slime that marked the opening of the park to the public. (I apologize  in advance if my photos are not standard in quality; I used several different devices)

(Photo above:  From (L-R): Patrick Star; SpongeBob SquarePants; Y.A.B. Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Bin Ali, Chief Minister Of Selangor; Tan Sri Datuk Seri Razman M.Hashim, Deputy Chairman of Sunway Group; Elizabeth Wong, Selangor Executive Council; Mark Whitehead, Executive Vice President & Managing Director of Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Asia; Hannah Yeoh, Subang Jaya Assemblywoman; Tan Sri Dr. Jeffrey Cheah, Founder and Chairman of Sunway Group; and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pose for a group photo just after the official launch of Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon.)
Performers!




No stone was left unturned in the creation of the Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon which boasts 14 immersive attractions, some of which are themed with Nickelodeon's hit properties, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Visitors to Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon can expect an exhilarating experience thanks to interactive play areas, which use the latest in reactive technology in addition to a daily signature slime event, a variety of waterslide rides, retail shops, games and a myriad of food service establishments and more!

True to its name, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon promises to be an explorer’s dream right from the start. Climbing “ancient temple” steps, explorers will pass pineapple columns and intricate carvings leading all the way up to a magnificent SpongeBob SquarePants structure. The adventure continues with geysers, sprouting water cannons, walks along cascading falls, and gooey moments with the signature green slime.

Patiently waiting,.....
WHOOSHHH! Imagine gallons of water pouring down! What a breeze!















Running deeper into the forest are suspended bridges over rivers, more thrilling wet and wild activities as well as gravity defying rides that twist around trees and hills. Breath-taking views greet visitors who choose to dine and relax by the Lakeside restaurant. They might even have the chance to meet and greet their favourite Nickelodeon characters. Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon is an attraction suitable for all ages.




“This park is a fantastic addition to Sunway Lagoon and one that will greatly boost the appeal of Selangor as a tourist destination. Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon perfectly complements Selangor’s existing array of attractions and will also be a boon to the nation’s growing tourism industry,” said Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Bin Ali, Chief Minister of Selangor.

Built with an investment of more than RM100 million, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon is the result of a joint initiative between Sunway Group and VIMN, lending yet another layer of top-notch family-based fun to Sunway Lagoon’s five existing parks, which include its Water Park, Amusement Park, Extreme Park, Interactive Wildlife Park and Lynton V Harris Scream Park.

Sunway Lagoon was named Asia’s Best Attraction by International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) four years in a row since 2007.

“Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon will enable kids and families in Malaysia and around Southeast Asia to connect with our brand and Nickelodeon’s iconic characters in a unique and meaningful way that will further deepen their relationship with Nickelodeon,” said Mark Whitehead, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Viacom International Media Networks Asia. “Sunway Lagoon’s expertise has made them an ideal partner and we are delighted to make it Nickelodeon’s Asia debut as we further expand the Nickelodeon brand in the region”, he added.

Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon opens to the public on 3 February 2016. The opening hours will be from 10:00am to 6:00pm every Monday to Sunday. Enjoy the many attractions on offer at RM150 for those aged 12 years and above, and RM120 for those below the age of 12 years.

There is a special promotion now, only RM50! You may find the promotions here: (http://sunwaylagoon.com/promotions/)
