Hey Nic, I've been reading your blog. Very cute that you're cooking something healthy for your grandma. For the jujubes, I usually buy the big ones here in Korea and then just use a 'fruit knife' to pick the seed. I cook ginseng chicken soup with jujubes + garlic + chestnuts + sticky rice + ginseng stuffed in a spring chicken. I still remember picking the seeds for my mom when I was a kid, and I used my fingers/nails. I figure that if you buy relatively 'fresh' jujubes and the big ones, the inside is still soft so it's easier to cut up and pick the seed.
Please continue to share more. I feel a bit behind being away from Hong Kong and my family for so long. It's always nice to see what's in and what makes a great lifestyle :)
p.s. can you share again the good Taobao shops for furniture or household stuff? I am moving to a new apartment soon and thought of treasure-hunting some from there.
