It weekend again! Time for me to dress myself up with apron and whipping dishes for the family. I missed my lotus root octopus soup or I simply missed my soup. There is always extra for me to bring to work next day. Sour pickle vegetable with stingray. I remember my mum will use the sour pickle vegetable to make pork slices pickle soup. The soup taste sour that will tickle our appetitie to the maximum. As for the stingray, my mum used to cook it with mustard vegetable and it will be a salty stingray dishes. I saw this recipe published in Today newspaper. I took the cutting home and decided to give it a try when I spotted stingray sold in my market. Hubby like the dish. Thumb up! Grilled Salmon fish head. A dish that is easy and fast to cook and pack with lot n lot of omega. Now Julian knows where to look for meat on the fish head. He will goes, "mummy have you check the collar, top of the head, etc." There is no way I can hide some for myself anymore. He is ...

This is the 1st time we went Expo Max Pavilion for concert. Due to the heavy activities at EXPO, everywhere was jam and we have to parked our car at Simei area, took a train to EXPO. The Max Pavilion was huge but smaller than Indoor stadium. I bot the cheaper tickets although we are far back but the two screens were very clear and I find the sound system and the screen is so much better. 黄小虎 is such a humouros singer, we love all the songs she sang. There are a song that was so touching that I make my tears flow. 伴 如果 命运可以订做 如果 有另一次选择 我想我 还是会 把手让你紧握 快乐地陪你去坎坷 就算 你有天变落魄 就算 你老得不能动 我想我 还是会 挽着你看日落 你的心疼在泪光中 嘴巴上 彼此嫌麻烦 眼神中 关怀那么满 没说爱 却早已认定一辈子的伴 在人前 从来不浪漫 在心中 却总为对方打算 最懂的人 最暖的伴 就算 我以后变啰嗦 就算 我老了有病痛 我想你 还是会 照顾我到最后 隐藏脆弱不眠不休 嘴巴上 彼此嫌麻烦 眼神中 关怀那么满 没说爱 却早已认定一辈子的伴 在人前 从来不浪漫 在心中 却总为对方打算 最懂的人 最暖的伴 嘴巴上 彼此嫌麻烦 眼神中 关怀那么满 没说爱 却早已认定一辈子的伴 在人前 从来不浪漫 在心中 却总为对方打算 最懂的人 最暖的伴 没有辛酸 没有遗憾 什么是陪伴 什么是心安 你是答案

March Birthday gathering

Image
March is Joe birthday and he suggested to have celebrate his birthday at Manhill restaurant at Pasir Panjang. We were there slightly early but we still did not see our birthday boy when the rest reached. He mistaken the celebration to be dinner instead of lunch and he had gotten his lunch. However, he still rushed down to join us and of course director Joe is paying for our lunch. We went Manhill Chinese Restaurant at 99A Pasir Panjang. It was a very traditional restuarant and famous for it paper wrap chicken. Not many of us really find the food good and the portion is so pathetic small.  We proceed to Keppel Bay for coffee, tea and dessert + chitchat. My 1st time here and I love the serenity of the surrounding. Julian requested to have his birthday celebration here next time. He really knows how to chose. Dear son was in super good appetite that he finished up not only his but other chocolate cakes. My dearest friends and c...

妈妈的擂茶

天下的妈妈最伟大,有时好像 Wonder Woman 只要孩子要求也不过分妈妈一定尽量满足。 我们很喜欢擂茶,妈妈就劳师动众得到处找制作擂茶的素菜和准备材料。 以下是擂茶的材料。 This is 艾草, I remember my mum will get the dried version and brewed for me during my confinement. It is good to expel the wind in the body. The fresh version can be cooked with egg. I prefer the fresh version. It is one of the vegetable used for 雷茶.   This is Basil leave, in Chinese we called 九层塔. Mum will blend all the vegetable into smooth puree and we only need to add hot water as serve as a @tea soup I was at mum place helping brother to take care of his wife so he could settle SIL work permit at ICA. Mum came back and started making the tea so I could bring it home. Now I have packed of the the TEA in my freezer.

My nephew Martin

Image
After much waiting for 奶奶 (my mum) to be back from her Malaysia trip. Baby Martin chosen this date to meet all of us. It was a short labour for my SIL Ivy but she seem to suffer post delivery pain when we visited her at night and weeping away when we reached. We told her not to worry too much and the pain should go away after two days. She must have being shock by the pain of the delivery. Baby Martin was burned at 2.8kg and he was a tall or long baby for 51cm but yet no one in the family had broke Janelle records of 4kg and 54cm long. Baby Martin was so alert when he was pushed into the ward by his proud daddy. We took turned to carry him, passing around n around. While we settling some issue for my SIL, he just stayed in his own baby cot looking around for the voices. My mum is very happy to be 奶奶 and we all enjoyed being 姑姑 the 1st time.

Cooking adventure

Image
Who will take such a great effort to make it own noodles where it is so easily available everywhere in Singapore? Well, I am the crazy woman, mother, chabo lor. I missed watching my godmother making her own noodles for her noodles business when I had a staycation at her place in Malaysia. Unfortunately, I cannot find the recipe to make the fat thick yellow noodles online. Seriously, making noodles is no easy task. We really sweat it out when preparing it. Dough to be rolled thinly for cutting One of the better batch and I was sweating away. Not possible for me to cut 'mee kia', I can only do the 'mee pok'. Seeking the kids help to loosen the noodles. Look at them sweating away... Finally, everyone get to have a bowl of noodles. I made the roasted pork the way my grandma made it. My uncle still maintained this same way of making it.

Yummy Salmon Fish Head

Image
  Do you have dishes that you had tried before and just couldnt get your head out of it? The most recent dish that we tried is the Teriyaki Salmon fish head. I deemed that the dish should not be too hard to make so I went to get a fish salmon fish head that only cost me $5 each. It took me 5 min to season and 10 min to grill the fish. The kids love it so much, especially my Julian, with him around I didnt really get to eat the fish at all. Now, he denial that he did not snatch my portion at all. Julian is a big bully!!!

POLW

Beside beach where can the kids go for wet activities? POLW is a nice choice and adults enter FOC!!! We just lazz around at Pork Belly while the kids splashing away.   While the kids are having their fun, we relax ourselves away from the sun with our cooling drink and food. Food here is not expansive. Cooling splashing away. I hope I am in the water.
