Law said his colleague brought him to a MaLan stall at Chinatown and he found it quite nice so he decided to bring me to try. A long queue formed when we reached the stall, actually we saw this stall with long queue each time we came to People Park hawker for dinner but we never dare to try.  Law did the order and he ordered vegetable, bamboo shoot, luncheon meat, chicken, big fat intestine, cuttlefish etc.  Our bowl is really nothing because we saw a mountain from the other table. Law asked for "small" spiciness because we are not that daring yet. This bowl cost us $18 which I think still reasonable, there is alot of profit generated from every bowl of such concoction.  

This is not the 1st time I made my own Kimchi infact I did a few time and I failed a few times but this time I wanted to try ferment my kimchi using the eco paradise pail. Following Maangchi recipe for the kim chi making. The Eco pail really a fast acting ferment-er, it only took a few hours and I saw that the kimchi has started to ferment. I didnt want the kimchi to taste too sour so I took out the kimchi and place them in the fridge to slow down the fermentation. Making Kimchi marinate is not that difficult. It is only vegetables and vegetable.  The red pepper look spicy but it is quite ok. I was luck enough to get the Korea napa from NTUC. I took a bite after I washed off the salt, it was really sweet.  All done and really to be fermented.  Making sure every part of the cabbage is cover with the chilli.  After kimchi, I have to go back to enzyme drink again. Julian prefer me to make apple flavour instead while Janelle is ok with the cu...

I knew there was such a restaurant at Geylang but we didnt really go and try it. Since Law asked me not to cook so I asked him to bring us there. It was near to our place but I dun really like to go there often because the place was rather "complicated" and crowded. We were lucky to find a car park right infront of the coffee shop. The coffee shop only have 1 cze char stall and it only operate for business from 6pm till 3am.  One of the famous dish - salted egg prawn ball but I think so so only. The deep fried pork is ok  I think everyone come here to have a taste of this SAN LIAO MEE HOON which the kids like as for me ever since I was pregnant my taste bud is getting notorious and to me it is not the best yet.

I have passed or baby has passed the Amniocentesis test! For friends who knew, thanks for your prayers and blessing. For friends who suspected something, forgive me that I would only like to announce when we knew our little Lammy is really ok. My Gynae must have knew we are very eager to know the result and he made a personal call to me. He sound really weird trying to speak to me in Mandarin calling my name as "Xiao Hong". He mentioned some reading number and told me that mean baby is normal and asked if I would like to know the gender of the baby. We are having another boy! All these while I have no intention to hide my protruding tummy but nobody in my office actually asked if I was pregnant. However, my mind is at ease and I announced I passed my test which I received tones of Congratulations from colleagues. Must also thanks my young team-mate for being very nice and caring for not tire me too much during work.

今天老公好俏，一定要我帮他拍个照才出门。

I would love to have a full collection of the Harry Potter earlier but Janelle said she was not interested back then therefore, I decided to hold my purchase. It was only recently she picked up the book at her Shu Shu place and started to get addicted to the story.  When I brought back the book, she happily hug the books and hide herself in the room.  I managed to get the series for only half the price of what local Popular bookstore is offering at Amazon. A good buy and now my daughter asking "How about City of Bone series?"

Before I decided to harvest my enzyme I did a drink test and it has the taste of fruit wine but not very strong. It doesn't linger too long in the mouth. I  decided to harvest the enzyme.  I bought 4 glass bottles from ikea but not enough and have to bottle in the kids water bottles.  When I opened the pail, I can smell the fermentation of the fruit. A lingering of wine smell too. Got these ikea bottles to store my enzyme drink.  Too much and I have to use the kids water bottles. Must get more glass bottles from ikea. 

Boring at home so decided to try making some buns. I realised to bake bun, I have to place lower shelf of the oven so the bottom and the top will brown evenly. Should make it too thin, just like my aunt said it would take nice if the dough is too thin. Same apply to the bao. 

I want to cut down frying for the day, so decided to make Hainan Chicken rice for the family. I bought a medium size meat chicken, requested some chicken liver from the stall owner and some chicken fats for my chicken rice. The process of cooking the chicken is easy, but the chopping up the chicken isnt. I cant do the professional chicken stall owner beautiful cut. Who said hawkers were a lower class worker, they have skills that need time to master.  Our simple and humble dinner at home, we even went to get the ginger sauce to go with our dinner. 

When I search online for enzyme drink methods and recipe there are some must know n do things to take care of. Like air dry the container, fruits and do not wash the fruit again after cutting etc.  When I refer to eco paradise recipe, they method is simple and direct forward. I am confused which one should I follow. Then I decided that I take a little of everything for the 1st time.  I washed and air dry my fruits and the Internet recipe do not allow a drop of water but eco paradise wanted 6litres of water for 1 kg of fruit.  For me I used 1.5kg of fruit, 1kg of brown cane sugar and 5 liter of filter water. 1.5kg of fruits Using 1kg of cane sugar My Ecoparadise pail. It only take 4 days to get the enzyme done comparing to 1 to 3 months. Dump all my fruit and sugar in. No need to layer at all Adding in 5 liters of water. The traditional way no water to be added. It was quite a different way to make enzyme drink and I am waiting pat...

The day was here for me to get poke! I was nervous and wonder was it going to be painful. I googled and saw some picture of the procedure. Ouch! It looked painful to me, a long needle going through my thick layer of fat and into the sac that was holding the fetus. My appointment was 1:30pm, I remember I need to be there at 1 pm for some paperworks. The procedure cost 1.3k claimable using CPF so I must be there to fill up some form.  A nurse, gentle spoken enough to explain the process to us. She asked Law to accompany me so I dun have to deal with it myself but he couldn't be around when the procedure start.   We have the sonographer coming in to check on the baby just to ensure baby was ok before we carry on with the test.  Baby was facing down, and we saw the head, the arm, tummy, arm etc but not the gender because baby didn't open the legs. Yes, I was 16 weeks and gender of the baby can be detected clearly if baby cooperate.  I was told that Gyna...

"Churros, mummy!" I nearly forgotten what I promised my girl. Cannot run away from it so have to proceed. This was my 2nd time making Churros but this round I have problem pipping out the dough so Janelle suggested that we just hand roll the dough instead.  Enjoying the cinnamon sugar and the crunchiness of the fritter  It may not look that great but it taste heavenly. It is really the ang mo version of you tiao. 

We have being eating out for a few weekends and I am really sick of it. As my appetite is still not that good at night, eating out can be quite a waste.  Si Chuan veg soup that everyone love. A new dish 1 - Stew pork belly with peanut. Janelle loves this dish and I always find it tasty and unique. I never use peanut this way. Check out my cooking blog.  Curry prawn. It is my 1st time trying cooking curry prawn and instead of coconut milk, the recipe asking for milk which is so much easy to cook. Check my cooking blog for the recipe of this dish. Spinach with stock Oops! Janelle hand in the photo, she could resist the stew pork dish. 

After so many months, I have finally visit E-lin to collect my loots from her. A very pretty set of bowls and plates from my taobao. A set that I always wanted to own one. I even got the bigger set that has 10 bowls.  But thinking hard, I think 10 set may no be enough at all. 4 for us, 2 for my brother, 3 for my sister, my mum and my youngest sister. I short of one but if my in law family join in then I need extra 5 sets.  Nice print but the set look darker in gray tone then we expected. Even E-lin who got from the same seller but different print said so.  Love the print very much. Always wanted to own a set of Japanese dining set for my place. 

Janelle has being waiting long for this day to come. It is definitely the parents pride to watch the kids to be called up for the awards. I also found out that not all the constituency give out awards for those who are not eligible for income that cross the 5k family household. We are luck to have a good MP who listen to the residents and act on it. Another year of hard work with rewards When I posted the picture on my FB, a friend commented that Janelle is tall. Yes, whenever I asked her to update me with her height development. She will report a number that is shorter than me but I guess she will soon be as tall as me. 

I have not attend company DnD for so many years. Nearly forgot how fun it can be. Sitting with my team.  The "Hulk" at my table. only 2 ladies at the table Looking out for my working buddies to take photos.  So happy to see many familiar faces during the dinner.  Table photos

I received a call from mum last night telling me that she was informed by 大姨 that grandma's condition had deteriorated badly. She couldnt control her pee and the pee kept leaking which the doctor mentioned that one of her nerve controlling her pee was not functioning anymore. She turned very weak suddenly. It was the kampong and old wives ways that my 大姨 i will visit a temple to seek medium help  and ask for my grandma's condition. They all wanted to know what the doctor couldnt tell us. She was told that my grandma's time is nearly up, and my passed grandpa and my great grandma(my grandma mother in law) were all waiting for her. (My grandpa and great grandma had passed away for more than 20 years and yet they have not waited for their reincarnation cycle yet) The reason my grandma still hang on because we promised to celebrate her birthday at the end of April. She is looking forward for my mum and Yi Ma and the rest of the children and grand children to be with ...

I only have 1 TV in the household but I have a miTV box, a starhub box and a mio TV box. Thanks to my crazy hubby.  Mio TV is giving us 1 month free viewing so I get to watch many channels till they stop. 

I wanna to let go my stress and do something I like this afternoon. Cooking something. Since we will be going to mum place for dinner, I dun have to prepare dinner for the kids. I used the free time to try making some sambal ulek again, this time using my own concoction. Cooking sambal mix into thicken ready sambal sauce is no joke. I got strike by the sambal bazookas a few times, many burns on both my hands and arms.  Not only the burning sensation but the spicy n hot chilli burn right into my skin and will not go off after a while.  But hard work pays! Julian who doesn't take chilli walk into the kitchen and told me the chili smell great! Truthly a very great encouragement from my son.  Indeed the chili is great! Mummy Gong 's recipe.
