A Sad News - about cultivation

SN wrote: [How have you been after coming back ? Is everything o.k ? .....the yogurt is still alive ?? unfortunately, mine has just "passed away" !! as I asked my son to culture for me one night, he put the whole thing in the cooler without cultivating, so , I can't enjoy it everyday now.... ]

Important Tips:
After you mixed the yogurt baby with fresh milk, please make sure you put in room temperature for about 8 hours for cultivation before you put your lovely new born baby yogurt into the fridge.

About her background

SN told me that the original yogurt was carried back by a Japanese doctor who is passionate in researching about yogurt from Bougarlia. The Japanese doctor named the original yogurt as "YogurtKing" which is used to cultivate yogurt product for our taste.

SN said Japanese pass around the YogurtKing only among Japanese best friends and encourage the receivers to use as home-made yogurt motto but not for comercial purpose.

Upon returned to Hong Kong, I did a market research about yogurt. Most of the yogurts are imported from New Zealand, Austrilia, Sweden, Japan, China and France. We also have local made one. In average their prices are ranged from HK$7-15 per piece. By checking their ingredient, they added sugar, fruit flavor, gelatine. In selling point, they emphasis on creamy. smoothness, fresh milk and time length in cultivation.

My first baby

I went close to my bottle of yogurt with a very strange feeling. May be I could cultivate her successfully or I failed. After I opened the cover and looked carefully inside, I found she was getting together like a thin slum of pudding. I did it!

I wanted to try it immediately but worrying that I may spoiled her. So, immediately, I transfer 1/3 of her into another clean bottle, purposely to cultivate another one - to let her lives on. I felt save of letting her sleep and grow again.

The beginning of my lineage

I returned from Singapore to Hong Kong 2 Jan 2005 by SQ. In my racksack, I carried along with me a bottle of yogurt (about 20g) which I received from my best friend SN who married with a Japanese.

I never treated yogurt so preciously. In fact, a bit of worry whether I might kill them by treating them properly with right temperature.

Upon arrival at home, I immediately opened it and checked its condition. Its seemed turning a bit waterly. I hurry up ran to a supermarket and bought a pack of mongolia 4% milk and started to cultivate my personal yogurt.

I poured about 300c.c. of fresh milk in to a clear bottle with the precious yogurt, stirring it well with a spoon. Then, say a loving prayer to her and leave her in room temperature for 8 hours.

Let me check my luck and love later.
