rejected recess

I don't recall rejecting my mum's homecooked lunchbox ever when I was a kid, well, at least I don't recall...

This is the second rejected recess lunchbox by W... And it becomes my lunch for the day, again.

nice pandan cake

yum Cha @CBP

Thank you, papa, R, P and W...

It was a very good start of the day with some dim sums... But remember not to over order next time... ☺️

Tmr then jian fei.... (Everyday like that...)

R and durian

nourish eats

One was the breakfast. Only because I didn't have time to take a normal breakfast. It's a quick fix at office.

The other was supper. Only because the pear was over riped and I didn't want to waste it. It's a simple way of cooking using the electrical double boiler.

"Best Customer Service" Shilifang HougangOne

Been to several Shilifang outlets... This is the first time I was being "chased away" by the waitress.

I was very "impressed" by the way they insulted me in front of other consumers who came late, hence queueing outside...

I wish that you can last long with this kind of attitude towards your diners who came early to deserve a seat and tried to enjoy the dinner...

Boo... Never again!

My second Bento...

Quite a failure because both Renee and Phoebe couldn't finish the serving... Guess I was too ambitious. Buahahaha!

Nevertheless, they love my apple soup (an attempt to reproduce 老火汤). Wuhoo! Even I was impressed by myself...

 

Baby Wayne can only smell and watch but not get to eat... Kekeke! ^^

My First "Bento" attempt

It was a school holiday this Monday when I almost forgot to prepare dinner for my girls. After clearing some work, I decided to cook up a simple meal for them.

This was the first time when I cooked rice and dishes ever since my helper left on 11th May.

My first steamed rice, my first smooth silky steamed egg... The former turned out too moist, hence, I was carried by a whimp to mould the rice into balls... After putting 2 balls of rice in each bowl, they looked like a snowman already... I pulled out a few pieces of seaweed and cut them into eyes and mouth...

"Mummy, you are awesome!", exclaimed Renee when she saw her dinner was so special that evening...

"Yeah! My favorite egg egg! Thank you, mummy!", shouted Phoebe as she jumped up and down beside the dinner table.

I also made a "yucky" fish soup with carrots and black beans, using my soy milk maker... It tasted okay to me. Well, Phoebe finished all of her serving happily. Renee, however, only tried a few sips and concluded that it was not her "bowl of soup", and she couldn't finished the cheese sausage and rice ~,~

I was motivated to try other bento settings when I have time... Only if I could make them with Japanese pearl rice, though this Thai fragrance rice was good enough ^^

娘惹糕点，赞！

最近的周末时间，哥哥和老爸都各自自制了娘惹糕点。

不知道叫什么；但是是我必吃的椰丝卷。

在我的再三抗议只能看没得吃之后；老爸终于赏脸给我做了几条椰丝卷。其实，这也是老公的必吃娘惹糕之一。

皮虽然比专业的厚了点儿；但是带着淡淡的椰香。里面的馅对我而言是Perfect的香甜。

这天，我和老公终于有口福了，很满足！谢谢爸爸！

CNY goodie

First time I came across air fried luncheon meat strips... So how could I miss it since its dear's fav?

Presenting, crab stick strips and luncheon meat strips, both airfried at 160°c or below for 20mins or more...

Confinement food

This nanny was highly recommended for her culinary skills. So here I post some pics for my confinement food ^^

Lunches/ Dinners

Supper Soup

Mad crave for dim sum

I had been eating a lot of cuisine lately but this is the first time that I would crave for dim sum so so so badly.

Last night, near 11pm, I started to google for good and cheap 24hr dim sum places... Dear almost wanted to get change and bring me to dim sum suppering... Upon some cooling off, I decided that I should just sleep.

After polling from my friends, we shortlisted Yum Cha, Mongkok Dim Sum and Red Star Dim Sum... Between these few, we headed for Red Star for its old school dim sum restaurant feel (and smell). 

This is Dear's first visit to the Red Star, my third. Hee! We reached at 9am and were seated almost immediately without any queueing. Wahahaha! 

Then we stopped a couple of dim sum push carts and began our gobbling sessions. I tried to control myself from ordering more the moment I spot the price of the dim sum, had to strategize the variety to fit my stomach and budget.

Finally, a beautiful perfect closing with its mango pudding. I was satisfied, so was BB W ^^

我们尝到的有：叉烧酥、叉烧包、流沙包、凤爪、烧卖、炸虾饺、鲜虾肠粉、皮蛋粥、芒果布丁配上香菊茶。。。

我遗漏的有芋饺、香蕉鲜虾酥、锅贴、小笼包、荷叶糯米饭、港式萝卜糕、龟苓膏，等。

Dinner for Two, @Ju Shin Jung

I'm turning 33 years old very soon... 31 weeks pregnant and always craving for Korean BBQ...

Dear brought me to an authentic Korean Charcoal BBQ cuisine - JU SHIN JUNG ^^

This was recommended by a couple of my friends. Quote Dear, "if it's not nice, we will 捉 Jinfu 来打！" Indeed, it was really good!

We ordered 2 sets of unlimited adult buffet. Frankly speaking, how much can we stomach? 

We were relieved that we did not order it's spicy rice cake, else we would burst in the restaurant. Dear was pretty stunned that I ate much much more than he could. Well, that's because I was always slow... I only started to feel extremely bloated after our "romantic" stroll down the Robertson Quay river way. Muahahah! 

We tried its sliced BBQ beef, pork belly, marinated pork, chicken, prawns, many sides... And our favorite was the marinated pork wrapped in cabbage with a slice of kimchi. Almost been to Korea! Wahaha ^^

Thanks, Dear, for this wonderful dinner date!!

And not forgetting to thank my parents for taking great care of my two girls for the evening! Yipee! ^^

They love Peppa pig! Hahaha ^^

Updated... My surprise gift from Dear. He said I will love this no matter what and it'd be more useful than a pair of track shoes which I requested.

Chef Tay's first wok life ^^

I cooked a bowl of mee sua for dear on the eve of his lunar Bday, thinking that was the actual day...

This time, chef Tay volunteered to cook me a bowl of mee sua for my lunar Bday. Let me emphasize, chef Tay wanted to cook me something... Finally!!!

And it looked like this, simple and nice.... Or should I say, simply nice. Hahaha! Thank you, dear!

Someone never learnt...

Dear hubby... How many times do you want to MSB in front of me?

Dear sent me a pic of his lunch... MSB set... Ok... Got you. So you had been sent to get me a MSB... Hohoho!

Oh, for those who missed my previous entry, MSB is mushroom Swiss burger.

Naninanibubuz! Thank u, Dear!! ^^

Late night suppering

Dear went down to grab me a burger after he kept reminding me of the BK MUSHROOM SWISS BURGER when I was a little bit hungry...

Having no BK nearby, I settled with a filet O Fish burger. He bought me a double!

Now let's look at the price... 1 filet O fish burger costs ard $2. While, a double cost almost triple the price!

The first thing dear told me when he got home with the burger, he almost wanted to buy 3 filet O fish burger to stack them up for me...

Dear, thank u for the first time u bought me and BB Tay a supper... This is also a punishment for mentioning BB Tay's fav MSB for the sake of making us hungry. Hohoho!

>,< feeling content and I could zzz now! Zzzzzzzzzzz

Simi wago kueh. ..

Here's my girl, enjoying me... no... I meant the real wago kueh....

She really loves it ^^

The danger of working late

I finished this bar in no time...

妈妈真言

每一周，我的阿姆都会到此一游，因为我家有两个半小瓜。。。

千万别误会！我没有#3。。。

那半个瓜是指我家一发。。。那个一发不可收拾啦！

近日来没有什么好记录的,所以很久没网上日记了。 直到今晚，我刚开完会就涌起了阿姆真言。。。

我阿姆说：“你的冰箱有很多巧克力，为什么不要吃？”

我阿姆还说：“你知道你哥哥回家都会开冰箱找巧克力吗？”

我阿姆提醒道：“你的那些巧克力有空就要开始慢慢吃啊，要不然就过期浪费啦！”

其实，我只是想想而已。真正要的是一杯鲜奶。结果想到阿姆的话；变翻箱倒柜，挖出了“千年人参”aka搁置了大半年的经典、非一般可口味美；而且是本地美不到的。。。Diary Milk Coconut Chocolate (from New Zealand)

真的是传说中/印象中的超级无敌好吃到。。。

(Translation, specially, for Lulu who would turn blind whenever he sees Chinese characters)

Tonight, I ate chocolate.

Fruit enzyme part 2

Just as I was still waiting for my first batch of super sour (too bad, wrong proportion of lemons used) green apple enzyme to be ready in another week's time... my itchy hands just made a second batch of fruit enzyme.

This time round, I followed the proportion recommended by my shifu as closely as I could...

She said 6 dragon fruits to 2 lemons and a packet of small rock sugar for 1L bottle... I did 6 dragon fruits to 3 lemons and 1.5 packet of rock sugar... wuhoo!

Too bad that Renee cried in the might when I was making the enzyme... so hopefully the disruption wouldn't fail me... arghhh!!

If everything went well, green apple enzyme would be ready next week and dragon fruit enzyme on the week after next... jiayou!! ^^
