We all sound very sexy now

It is only about a week to Chinese New Year but the boys have not recovered. Korkor still has his fever coming on and off, and both of them still have sticky diarhoea-like poo. Korkor has not been eating for many days already. Luckily I have not wean them so at least they still get [...]

So much into cooking

Must be stress again or what, I am so into cooking these days (instead of baking). I enjoy learning to cook new dishes, especially spicy food since there is a Kakak to help me pound cilli and ingredients. See what I have learn to cook very recently.

Bake Wings + Red Eggs for the boys

I love celebrations. It has been a while since the TAN’s birthday and I feel bored again. Since we already have so many celebrations for the boys (until QQ also asked me how come her brothers got so many birthdays), I decided just to do something simple here on the actual date of the boy’s [...]

Choux Puffs for a Saturday tea

While posting some choux puffs I baked earlier this afternoon, I just realised that I forgotten to post what I did for my boy’s first birthday on their actual birthday celebration at home. Silly me…don’t know what’s wrong with me these days. Last time I make sure I will upload at least a posting everyday [...]

Cupcakes ain’t cake?

I am so pissed off with him last night that I had to scream at him while having our dinner (if I still have those cupcakes with buttercream, I’ll throw them onto his face!)
Since the day I started to bake a few years back, I have been telling myself that I would one day want [...]

All that I done for CNY

By having my new oven this year, I am so tempted to bake, bake and bake for the Chinese New Year celebration (don’t care if the boys cries echo behind!, *sweating and panting*

See my first attempt of Bak Kua (dried meat). No need to grill on charcoal. I just used my oven to bake them. [...]

Gluten free baby cereal

Although the boys are now moving into their 7th month, I have yet to start “double-boil” (hehe…so ambitious..) their porridge. Will only do so once we settle down from travelling after the CNY.
It is so difficult to find organic baby cereal these days. Yesterday while hunting for one in 1U (where I bought the Holle [...]

Cashewnut cookies (2nd CNY cookies)

These 2 weeks will be very busy for me. Since Audrey will be here to accompany (helping, actually) me to bake, we decided that we will bake all our CNY this year. After sending her boys to school, she comes over to my place, and even shopped for all the baking ingredients for me. Such [...]

We start baking

We had a mad rush again yesterday afternoon. While one of the boy was sleeping (another one with Kakak screaming behind), QQ and I quickly start out to work.

Things 4-yr-old QQ could do to help me during baking:

sieve the flour
roll the pastry
cut and stamp the pastry

So, I only have to

measure ingredients
mix the flour and Planta [...]

First experience with my new Oven

I was so afraid that I might fall sick again, and guess what, I am down with bad flu again. My body is so weak after the confinement and whenever any of the kids at home fall sick, I will surely get their bugs. Even today, someone told me that I have got a very [...]

CNY is around the corner again, and this time I will to bake REAL Melaka Nyonya Pineapple tarts. Although the pineapple jam can be bought easily from bakery shops, I tell you, they do not taste as nice as compare to the Melaka Nyonya homemade ones.

Earlier Dongzhi (Winter Solstice)

Oh, I think we celebrate Dongzhi a few times in a year
QQ loves to eat Glutinous Rice Balls (Tang Yuen), just like me. She can really eat a lot when I cook them in Gula Melaka (coconut sugar) syrup. And best of all, she knows how to roll them herself now. All I [...]
