最后把卷好的糯米饭卷置入已装满沸水的锅里，锅里的水必须足够完全覆盖米卷。用中火煮一小时后即可取出米饭待凉。

Combine (B) together in a saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer the syrup for another 10-13 mins until thickens. Set aside to cool.

Despite the endless bouts of health issues and challenges all these years, my eldest baby Coco who has gone deaf and blind, managed to sustain till a ripe 15 years of age and still counting. Recently, a mass bout of malignant tumor started to invade her pelvis area and within a short period of 3 months the tumor has grown into 6 times the original size. Given her advanced age, the vet discouraged performing surgery to remove the lump citing that the removal would put our baby into more risk than good.

仅可老大忍受了多年的病痛而后来恶化至双眼变盲，耳朵也完全聋去，它还是努力的活着一直撑到15年。很不幸的，它的身上最近长出一块恶性肿瘤而在短短的三个月内扩大六倍极之可怜。由于它年寿太高，兽医不鼓励动手术来切除肿瘤怕爱犬承受不起麻醉药而死去。

We are saddened to learn that her days are numbered and soon she will have to leave us. Hence I set out to make her a batch of home made treats and indulge her when she is still able to enjoy her food.
