These are the basic steps to embed Google Map in Blogger:

2. Type in the address on the Google search bar of the place you wish to look at on the map.
3. Click on the "Link" at the top right corner of the Google Maps.
4. Copy and paste the data (iframe width=".....") into your Blogger post.
That's all on how to embed Google Map into Blogger!
This is the easy way on how to embed Google Map into your Blogger posts. You should be able to manipulate the map like zoom in and zoom out or change the area you wish to look at on the google map.
How to break sweat when it's so easy. I should have learned about this way much earlier. Feels cool right? This easy way (and cool way) is kind of fun too. I think I may try to embed more Google Maps into my blogger posts.

d24 Durian Mooncake: Goodwood Park Hotel
These d24 durian flavoured mooncake from Goodwood Park Hotel were purchased and sampled today by me. d24 durian by themselves are really soft, tasty and aromatic fruits. Snow skin type of mooncake are also my favourite. Put d24 durian into snow skin mooncake like the way Goodwood Park Hotel does, combines the best of two worlds that I simply cannot resist.
The durian of the d24 label inside snow skin mooncake are eaten chilled. The instructions on the box label informs that their durian mooncake have to be kept in the freezer for storage. The durian mooncake also has to be consumed within three days.
At $48 before gst for a box of four durian mooncakes, the durian mooncake from Goodwood Park Hotel is not cheap. However, the culinary pleasure of eating delicious durian mooncake during the coming mid autumn festival period is infinitely worth more than the money spent.
Looking forward to more mooncakes, especially with durian fillings over the next fortnight.
This is an amazing dumpling, just like a dinosaur that this pau is named after: Godzilla Pau (Pow).
The Godzilla Pau (or Pow) is a meat and egg steamed dumpling fit for a dinosaur. Each handcrafted Godzilla Pau (or Pow) is a delicious edible work of art meant for eaters with dinosaur appetites. The Godzilla Pau dumpling contains dinosaur proportions of pork, egg and other ingredients that is more than enough for two persons looking for tea and a stall with the Godzilla (of the dinosaur from Japan fame) name.
Each Godzilla pau (or pow) dumpling is about triple the size of a standard sized meat dumpling. The Godzilla pau pork meat is soft, much softer than other dumplings I’ve tried. Once you bite into it, the pork oozes a sweet liquid with a tinge of salt and other secret sauces.
This Godzilla Pau (or Pow) is not the only dumpling made by this stall. Other dumplings albeit of non-dinosaur proportions are also worth a try. Perhaps I might describe them in detail later.
For now, the Godzilla Pau (or Pow) is my dinosaur dumpling of the month. My assessment: 9 out of 10. If the skinof the pau were more evenly distributed, this Godzilla pau would have achieved a perfect ten.
I bought the Godzilla Pau (Pow) from an air-conditioned stall at Elias Mall Neighbourhood Centre in Pasir Ris Drive 3. For map and route to Godzilla pau stall, check the road directory.

With strong air-con, this place is a very cold indoor playground at Downtown East. The other thing that is holding me back from using it is the fear of getting hand foot and mouth disease. I guess if sick kids are screened and barred from this place, I might bring my children to visit their indoor playground.
